PROTECTED FROM MONOPOLY,
MIR. KIRBY EXPLAINS HIS RECENT
HEAVY PURCHASES OF TIMBER.
His Road Has Plenty of Business in

the Lumber Business.

wheat toward primary Western markets. more
especially IN the Northwest was being real
ICED to some extent While today's receipts
were still smaller than those OF last year,
they showed a steady increase. Chicago got
lO7 cars and Minneapolis ard Duluth reported
$50 cars. A bearish telegram came from Win
nipeg, declaring that Manitoba and other
British Northwest provinces would show a
crop OF 81. 900, 900 bushels of fine wheat. Thera
was no export business here and longs showed
tendency To let go OF their holdings in the
absence OF encouraging news The speeHla-
tive business was small and traders generally
inclined to await the result of tomorrows de-
liyeries on September contracts. December
sold from 72ls down to Ii3,, with infrequeDt
rallies, and closed at the bottom.
Corn tamely followed the lead of wheat
despite encouraging news regarding the ship
ping demand. Recepts were 62l cars
changing. Trade was light in volume and
at times showed strength in September
which was largely due TO the ncarness OF that
month. The December option was easy In
sympathy with its sister markets.

| New York. August a1.--There were many
items in the days news which favored an

effective early in the day, but proved power
less to sustain prices at the higher level and

Improvement in the tone of speculative mar
kets abroad gave an upward impulse to prices
at the opening. London bought quite freely
among the internationals. The buying from
this source is attributed to the operations OF

holiday sojourn in London
After the orders for London had been exc
cuted in this market the railway stocks fell
somewhat into the background and indus
