By Private Wire from Ware 6 Leland.
 Chicago, August 15-Wheat: Liverpool closed half lower, London A lower. Berlin A lower. Paris holiday. Beerbohm says: Fact remains that Europe will require to export forty to forty-eight million bush els more than was necessary last season. Equally undeniable that in America Rus sla and Romania there Is less wheat to draw from than last year." Weather in the Northwest favorable possibly showers tonight and tomorrow. A Duluth authority estimates Northwest crop 190,00O,000 bush els, Minneapolis Journal estimates 97,000, OOO From present appearances the entire crop, winter and spring, will not vary much from 800, 0O0,000 bushels. Primary re- ceipts 522,000 shipments 64S.000, worlds visible decrease 532000, clearanees lighter, 1851 00O. We can confirm fifteen loads worked for export. There are said to be large orders at the seaboard aggregating 5O,0O0, which are about on a working basis. Receipts at eight principal points August 1St to date, II, 100 900, an increase over last year of 3.300, 900. Buyers of yesterday were sellers today and the local bear crowd were quite aggressive in putting out fresh lines of shorts. Bull news carried no weight and judging from the appearance of the market at the close lower values may be expected. There is no stop to the foreign markets and the general expecta- tion is that Liverpool will come lower. SnOulu IL develop that large eAport puSi- ness has been done a sharp rally might be in order.
 Corn: Clearances nearly 100000. There was a large business transacted here as well as at the seaboard. Visible decreased 1120OOO There was not much snap to the market and values held up well.
 Oats were dull Clearances 425,0OO, char ters 100000.
 Provisions: Hogs were easier shipments lard 1900 GOO. Meats, 100000 pounds. Elk ports for the week. pork 5.1oo barrels; lard, Il, ,5OO.OOO pounds; bacon. 4o.OOo boxes. There was liquidation in September. There Is good demand for all kinds of products.

COTTON MARKET
 MORE PACIFIC Neill'S Report Produced Some Effect Upon Locals. A DECLINE IN LIVERPOOL General Outside Support Withdrawn and New Workers Felt Exceeding ly Nervous Finally Steady
 At Net Decline
A DECLINE IN LIVERPOOL

New York, August 15.-More pacific con ditions prevailed at the cotton exchange today. yet the market was still very active. Neins cotton crop report, forecasting the possibility of a 12 600 900 bale crop, produced some effect upon the local market, and through it's influence the cables declined 30 3h at Liverpool. The Liverpool declines were ascrfbed by private cables chiefly to Neilrs circular The market opened steady with a decline of to points.
 Prices. however were soon back again to yesterdays closing figures. The effects of Neill's estimate were felt when the de- mand subsided and the market again turned weak and prices fell away sharply. The government chart failed to indicate any sign of rain in the southwest of Texas, reports continuing bad. Despite this gen. eral outside support was withdrawn and for the remainder of the session local sent- ment was exceedingly nervous. At one time in the afternoon the not decline was matter of 12d15 points, due principally to the foreign situation and outside selling orders. The market was finally steady at a net decline of 1O@13 points

Taibott & Palmer's stock Letter

By Private Wire from New York.
 New York, August 15-Speculation in to- days stock market was extremely lethargic and legitimate or investment interest seemed to be likewise limited. The day opened with no considerations affecting the speculative temper. Wisely or otherwise the street at large seems to have dismissed money market conditions from further Sreckoning as a possible influence, hence little attention was paid to, or at least little effect was exercised, the still easier tone evident in that market. There was little that was new bearing upon genesai conditions, the continued favorable weather reports from the west being perhaps the most important circumstance. The foreign markets were reported more or less af- fected by the disturbed situation in France and chiefly on this account the early cables reported declines in the Americans of the London market. As was the case yesterday the tendency of the London market being unattended by any extensive operations for foreign account here. 1t was practically ignored in local speculative call culations. After a brief period of fair ae- tivity in the opening, the market relapsed into pronounced dulllness and the irregular price changes that subsequently, developed seemed to result wholly from technical and particular causes The most pronounced movement in the market were however. declines and in the main the tone of the dealings may be properly described as heavy, some exceptions to this conspic- uous example being American Tobacco. Continental Tobacco, Tennessee Coal and Iron and Louisville and Nashville. On the other hand Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Manhattan were under pronounced and ef- fective pressure.

1aibOtb & Paimer's Cotton Letter
 By Private Wire from L. De Gumoens &
 Son.
 New York, August 15.-As result of the Nein scare, Liverpool made sharp decline this morning. New York opened 6 points lower and rallied 3 points in view of weather reports showing no break in the drouth There was little snap to the market and the bulls were demoralized. Continued dry weather may again lead to activity but the outlook this morning was discouragng. Spots at Liverpool declined 1-16 and futures 8 points. Spot sales 1000 bales. Texas cor respondents today reported damage by droutn ranging from la to 50 per ce3t. One hundred correspondents write to this effect. The weekly government report states that less promising outlook ih some other dis tricts. During the afternoon the market weakened and at p. m. showed to 10 points loss. Stop orders helped break the market and there was somewhat of a scramble to hquidate. New York spots were 1-6 lower. The government bulletin showed no rain in sight for Texas or the gulf states. Several large firms sold freely during the afternoon. Last prices showed 10 to 13 points for the day.
 Taibott & PaImer's Cotton Letter
 By Private Wire from Faa-child & Hobson.
 New Orleans, August 15-The feature df today's market was the publication of Neilrs circular in which he says of tine present crop: 1T am satisfied that on the average promise per acre is fully equal if not superior to that of last year at this date The rapidity with which the crop has advanced over the whole county and the enormous fruitage will soon make it inde- pendant of future work and make a great crop certain, no matter how early a frost should come. We shall doubtless hear of much shedding; the fruitage is so immense that no plant could every carry it all to maturity" This, indeed Is a glowing re- port of the crop condition, and as the au- thor of 1t Is looked upon as infaalibie, 1t follows that his taking will only be from hand to mouth until lower basis is reached.
 In this we are not mistaken, as the small sales of 1000 bales at Liverpool to- day indicates their action for the future. It is pity that such an estimate should appear at so early Aate, causing declines on which the southern farmer wall be obliged to launch his crop upon. Influenced by Neiqrs report, English cables closed 3 down on futures. which opened our marker 8 points lower than last night, October at
