CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Today's market ex-
perience was the one usual Immediately

discount got is to 2 lac. Elevator peo-

Clearances were light, Western receipts
larger, the Northwestern weather favora-
bic. Prices lost about 3-4e. Gables report
Russian crop adyices improved. The sea-
board demand is very small. The very high
lake rates are against the shipper, and
consequently against the wheat market.

crate business. Manitoba claims fifty

Although the Middle West and the South

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The stock market
today continued irregular, but the tendency
OF the majority Of the list was still toward
a higher level Of prices. A number Of cir
cumstances contributed to the upward ten
dency OF the market, the chief cause of
which was the apparently more tranquil
foreign political situation, which was re-
1iectec not only in general advance in the
London market but also in purchases for
foreign account here, which aggregated
fully 10000 shares. Aside from this ordin-
arily effective circumstance there were a
number Of excellent statements of railway
traffic submitted, including that OF the
Burlington and Quincy for July, while the
money market gave no further evidences OF
mcre stringent conditions. The market
was again rather professional in character,
OF, at any rate, the most pronounced moves
III prices seemed to result from the opera
tons of the various manipulative poo.s and
fhe larger professional operators in and out

Business beCan with no substantial con-
tributions to the general outside situation
over night, apart from the more optimistic
views entertained abroad in respect to the
political situation in South Africa. The
first effect Of the latter was the immediate
establishment at the opening of business
ef a. materially higher range OF prices
throughout the list; subsequently, a COM
mon and substantial reaction was noted,
which was. In the main, attributable to ap-
prehensions of more stringent money mar

based upon the expectations Of a large de-
crease in the surplus reserves of the banks

resulted in the reduction of the dividend

that many OF The largest stockholders of
Consolidated Gas are thoroughly disgusted
with the recent course of affairs and have
brought q great deal of pressure to bear
upon the managers TO bring the present
intolerable situation 10 a close. Sugar
Refining and Republic Steel were very
strong features OF the industrial quarter
OF the market. while American ana Con-
tinental Tobacco stocks were reactionary.

nation than the declaration of the initial

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-Inj explanation of
the decided weakness of the market in the
face of decidedly bullish crop aid weather
news, many contend that the present sup
ply of cotton appears to be- ample for re-
quirements both here and abroad, for some
time to come. The trade is.not anticipating
condition that does not exist. If 1t ap-
pears later on that the crop will be short
one beyond any doubt then prices will
again recover. Meanwhile feceipts will in
crease as the season progresses, and the
Texas drought must end sopher or later, if
it is not now ended
The opening was at decline Of eight to
nine points. Some advance was made from
this level. but the Government bulletin in
dicated rain for extreme eastern Texas, and
this again unsettled the market in the aft
ernoon, prices falling back to the opening
figures. Rains undoubtedly covered large
area today, and in some instances were
quite heavy The impression in many quar-
ters was that the backbone of the Texas
drought had been broken. Estimated port
receipts today, 10000, against 5000 last
year. Market closed at eight to nine points
decline. New York spots off one-sixteenth.
