yesterdays close TIC. Liverpool was

and unchanged, but has shown a dull
and dragging tone throughout the day
Speculative buying and support was
featureless. Receipts are slightly below
last year for the day and a decrease
in the visible is expected on that day
The trade. however, is generally expect
ing liberal movement in the near fri-
ture. Clearances are about 900 900
been less urgent, and accommodating
supplies for this time on are probable.
We do not yet see conditions favorable
for continued advance and think
wheat should be sold on the strong
days. Primary receipts are $4,000
against 100000; shipments $4,000
667 900. Estimated cars 210.
Corn, September 58A, closed yester-
day at Soc. Liverpool was up a, and
the opening was steady to firm. Spec
ulative operations, however, were on a
limited scale, and there was liquidation
enough to cause fractional loss to the
price. The storm center seems ap-
preaching from the south and is likely
to cover the territory east of the river,
which is so much in need of rain This
also in a bearsh factor. There is so
far no modification of previous bad
crop reports but the impetus of bull
speculation does not regain its recent
force We are inclined to look for a
scalping market In corn for the time
being Primary receipts BAT ,000-23S, 600
Shipments POI ,000-346 900. Estimated
cars 225.
Oats-September 36, closed yesterday
at 363sc. There was moderate profit
taking and a quiet market. Arrivals
are increasing moderately and this was
also a factor. AS In corn, speculative
operations have lost decidedly In vol
ume during the week and at the mo-
ment are featureless. Estimated cars
410.
Professionalism and closed higher.
Receipts hogs primary markets $4,000
and same as last year. The buying
which caused the strength was for
local speculative account. Market on
the whole is dull. Estimated stocks

The stock market was extremely dull
to-day. a condition that facilitated the
operations of the board room profess
SIGNALS. which resulted In causing de-
clines in a majority OF the list The
ustensible cause OF lack of interest in
speculation in the first hour was the
assumption that the bank statement
would show an expansion Of the loan
account, as has been the case in the
last three weeks. The exhibit actually
showed a decrease in loans Of 81, 645.-
300. and rather unaccountably a de-
crease in lawful money OF about 81, 600
900 in the face of the preliminary esti-
mates OF known movements which had
indicated a gain in cash of little less
than 81 900, 900. The net result OF the
statement Is decrease in surplus re-
serves of 1881 $50, reducing amount
held to s1.421 900 as against a surplus
at the same time last year Of 500 5S- "-a

Yesterdays reaction continued to-day,
and was somewhat more sharply defin-
ed. Moreover, 1t was general, including
about all the active features. Tie bank
statement was even more favorable than
was expected, for whereas e gain in
cash was expected. tie statement re-
ported considerable loss. nearly two
and three quarters millions. Loans,
however, decreased. but only 81 .645, 800,
and the net result was a decrease of
more than two and a half millions in
the surplus. There was no appreeiable
increase in activity after the publication
of the bank statement and prices re-
NAMED easy, closing near the lowest
of the day. The loss In cash this week
is significant, and doubtless will be re-
peated from now on, inasmuch as the
West will be making heavy demands
for funds with which to move crops
and rates for loan doubtless will rise in
consequence.
