There have been rains in the Northwest, which may prevail tonight and tomorrow Talking thirty-iive loads for export and the seaboard, which we cannot confilm. There has been a large business done here today. which will aggregate over 2O9000 bushels While clearances have been light today, they will probably a aggregate from both coasts over 3000,000 bushels for the week. Primary receipts 52S ,000 shipments 429,O00. Minneapolis flour sales yesterday 2sOOO barrels, and stocks of wheat there will decrease 100000. There Is a good demand for the best grades The market has shown a strong front and there has been fairly good buying, which was helped very materially by bad adviceS from foreign markets. There has been 1dIBS dHOunl Ot SetlliS III lliiS Hfdl ftt lately based on the assumption of large amount of liquidation Tn the September future So far 1t has failed to appear, and while the closing was not at top prices, strong undertone has developed.
 Corn has been dull, but quite firm; sixty five loads reported worked for export. Crop reports continue favorable, but there is feeling that September sales may be difficult in filing
 Oats have displayed but little feature but have ruled firm.
 Provisions: Hogs were easy at the yards, but the market has shown quite a stronger front. as far as all kinds of pro. ducts are concerned. There seems to be an impression among great many that with the large corn crop in sight provis- ions should sell lower, and on this assump- tion a goodsized short interest is being created. We do not regard values as high.

 palpable view of affecting the general market. Bullish sentiment received its most effective incentive from the radical change which appeared in the London stock market. American shares were shown in the early cables at substantial advances above the local closing level. The railway traffic returns submitted today included the earnings of St. Paul for tine second week of August which showed an increase of 106.OO0. Noteworthy features were Atchison. preferred, Southern railway, Louisville and Nashville and all the class of Pacifcs. Southern Pacific and Central Pacific were conspicuously strong So far as can be ascertained, no exact date has been fixed for the conversion of Central Pacific into Southern Pacific. The sharp advances in Southern, preferred and Louisville and Nashville were reasonably enough attributed to the constantly im- proving positions of those securities. Tn ano ta1er quarter of the market substantial advices were noted in F. O.. Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Metropolitan, Consolidated Gas and Tennessee Coal and Iron. The other firm features of the market was the Baltimore and Ohio issues, Norfolk and Western and Panhandle stocks The mar ket closed irreGuleN
