FLATOFERING SHOWING MADE BY
WHEAT FOR THE WEEK THAT
CLOSED SATURDAY
FAILURE OF A BIG BEAR FIRM
Incident Had Much to Do With
Strengthening Prices for Grain
Effect of 1t Was, However, Absent
at Saturdays Session, and the
dition-Corn Fairly Strong.

Failure of prominent bear firm In chi
cago had much to do with advancing
prices in wheat the past week, though the
influence Of the failure was lost by sat
llrday and the market assumed Its
,yonted tenor. Covering Immediately foi-
lowed the failure, and there was buying
for the account of the embarrassed frIn,
all of which was conducive to higher
prices The gain on the week was about
cents, save at New York, where the
market did not seem to be affected as
was the Chicago market, and with 1t the
Northwestern grain centers, including
MINNEAPOLIS and Duluth. Wheat as d.
rect proposition is III better position than
at the close OF the previous week, for
the reason that export demand is On the
increase, and the Transvaal situation
grows more critical each day.
CORN AND OATS
Corn has been fairly active and strong.
tt always is when there is bulge In
wheat and the furry in that grain III
Chicago seems to have given the coarser
grain quite a lift in demand and con-
seuuent Increase in prices. Corn is puz-
Ling at present. There is little upon
which to base estimates as to the Tuture
course of that grain.
Oats shared in the general activity and
strength of the grain market, but there
were no especial features during the
week.
STOCKS CLOSED STRONGER.
The stock market has been in de-
paoralized condition of late, owing to
the hardening tendency Of the money
market. The bank statement of the week
showed q lack Of surplus that. but for
the knowledge of its cause, might have
brought on mild panic. Securities nat
urally suffered, as q consequence, the
calling III of loans necessite ting the SELL
ing of stock by holders who saw no
profit in holding on with cash at as high
as per cent. Railroads have lost little,
however, and the standard stocks, while
not dealt in as largely as might have
been with easier money, held their own
remarkably we'll. There is no lack of
confidence on the street, and rapid recov-
cry is promise ty the latest reports of
the easing up of the money morket.

LONDON STOCK REvIEW-London
Sept A.--Last weeks dealings on the
stock exchange were confined principally
to sales by timid holders. Prices showed
an almost average decline. The peace
feeling, however has been more hopeful
and the general belief now is that no
precfpitate action will be taken in the
Transvaal and an amicable solution will
eventually be reached. If this expectation
is realized a sharp upward movement is
certain, as there is large amount of
money waiting investment as soon as the
war clouds roll by. Americans are about
the only shares that show a general i'm
provement. Southern Pacific shares rose

A STIFF ANSWER.
diately.

London-The reply Of the Transvaal
to Mr.. Chamberlain's latest note is said
to cover nine pages. 1t 10 eminently ol
the negative and inclusive character
which Mr.. Chamberlain declared would
compel the imperial government to con-
slider the situation afresh. 1t practical
iy repudiates suzeranity, reverts to the
seventeen years franchise and declines
to give equality to the Dutch aud En-
Rlisb languages in the Velksraad.
In short, it is positively negative and
defiant. The full text may not be avail
able for day or two, but it will not
change the aspect Of affaiis. Tho cabin
ct will probably meet on Wednesday OF
Thursday to consider the next step.
1t is supposed that the next move con-
templated by the Transvaal is an appeal
to the powers begging them to recon-
mend arbitration on the lines of the con-
ference at the Hague.

Attorney General Smith Of Texas,

Governor Sayers has prepared no pro-

He asserts, however, that the confer

The only question in his mind is whether
