Confidence seems to be rapidly re

dictates that to-morrow's bank state
ment will show an increase in re-
serves of about $6,000000. There seems
to be good demand for stocks, espe-
cially dividend payers.
The condition of the country is Just
as prosperous as ever, the crop pros
poets are excellent, the mills are over
worked, and there is just as much
money in the country as two weeks
ago, although it's location has been
shifted somewhat. 1t is still available
however, and the rates are reasonably
easy.

WHEAT AND CORN LOST SOME STRENGTH

Chicago. August 17.--Board Of trade spec
ulatlye markets were local affairs today,

An advanced Liverpool cable stimulated
buyers at the start and September wheat
opened Nc higher to unchanged at f2c to

and September slumpcd to 71hc. North
western receipts were liberal, big squirt
In the wheat movement was looked for
soon aud there was prospect of enormous
figures in the worlds shipments statement
Monday. There was evidence also that a
big September short was endeavoring to de-
press the price by selling December in order
TO cover the nearby future. On the other
hand, Paris cable improved on yester-
days from tull standpoint by estimating
that Frarce would have to import 1OO,
OC0,OOO bushels. There was general dis
position after the opening activity to play
eI en-" over Sunday and the remainder OF
the curtaled session was dull. September
rallied to 713sc from the decline, but
worked back again for lack of support and
closed easy 46t3sc under yesterday at ia

-four were equal to 969,OOO bushels, while
primary receipts aggregated $1,000 bush
els, compared with 100000 bushels last
year Local receipts lS6 cars; Minneapolis
and Duluth 29l cars.
Corn, like wheat, was momentarily firm
at the start on cables and, although 1t sub
sequently reganed the loss, bulish feeling
had been weakened and the recovery was
not sustained. The rain predicted for Ohio
and the corn country generally was the
chief weakening influence as there was con

New York Cotton Market Strengthened
by New Orleans BUYING.

VIEW CFN Sotton MARKET strengthened
by New Orleans Buying.
New York, August 1.-THE market
opened steady with prices ] point lower
TO point higher for cotton aud much OF
the morning was hestant and news in hand
was conflicting TO most confusing extent.
Trade reports were the worst yet received
this summer. ON the other hand were
arm Liverpool cables, a bulllsh review Of
the week South by the Chronicle and bad
crop accounts again from Central Texas.
The latter factor was additionally potent
by reason OF forecast for continued fair
weather today over the western belt. Much
rain was again preported in parts OF the
eastern belt, but tho gulf storm seemed TO
be passing on over Northern Georgia and
the Caro- Inns without serious results to
the crop. The forecast was for clearing
weather over the central and eastern belts
tomorrow.
Following the call the market became
heavy through lack OF speculative support
and under prcht taking by room longs.
New Orleans news was NOT as favorable
the morning and was almost wholly Of
protest. onal origin.
Late In the morning New Orleans buy
ing swept prices 70 new high level Tor
the day and closed the markell steady IN
tone and net unchanged 10 points high
err. The market for spot cotton closed
steady with priceg unchanged on the
