Chicago Grain and Pro vision.

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Corn was again the leading market on the Board of Trade today, and after a fair advance prlees weakened all around December corn closing 2 lower. Wheat was 1ac lower, and oats as lower while provisions ranged some 5471ac lower at the close.
 Wheat was weak at the opening and prices were shade lower, the bear fea- ture being the heavy Northwest receipts. Under the influence of the strngth in corn. steady cables and reports of good cash demand. both at Duluth and New York, prices advanced, but later, in sym pathy with corn and on lack of out side support, the market weakened again. Liquidation was the prevailing feature with but little new buying demand. De- cember opened h toAc lower, at 7HQ72 and after an early advance to 72$su .41a, prices gradually sagged, the low point be- | lower at 71M. The seaboard clearances of wheat and flour were 2S9.OOO bushels, while | 67 boat loads were reported taken for ex- port. Primary receipts were 1. .254, GOO bush | els. compared with 2,146.0O0 a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts 1 of 647 cars against 392 last week and 293 year ago. Local receipts were 12S cars, | with only one of contract grade. There was considerable strength in corn early, brought about by renewed buying, | mostly on short account. Local longs and ! many commission house bulls were dis 1 posed to unload their holdings, influenced | by the relatively large receipts, reported l improvement in crop conditions and slow l export demand, and a reaction followed. December opened A@ss cent lower to h@ Ac higher at 57Q571ac advanced to 574sd5Sc.

THREE NAMES MENTIONED. Eyester Almon and Pettus Talked of
 fnr Circl1it Snlicitnr

Huntsville. Aug. 2S.-(SpeciaD-Hon John c. Eyster of Morgan County, Hon. Erie Pettus of Limestone and Hon. D. c. Almon of Lawrence have been mentioned as probable candidates for the office of Circuit Solicitor for the Eighth Judicial District in the next election. The office is now held by Hon. Richard H. Lowe of this city. but un- der the provisions of the new Consti- tuition he is not eligible. The new Constitution contains a provision that county in the judicial circuit but not in the Solicitors circuit shall not have voice In the election of the Solicitor. Madison County has a County Solicitor and at the same time MT. Lowe is Cir cult Solicitor but does not practice in this county
 Superintendent H. E. Hutchens of the Memphis division of the Southern Railroad, has notified Alderman Boyd that his company has accepted the proposition recently made by the City Council of this city to furnish free Wa ter for fountain at the Southern De- pot. The railroad has ordered a hand some fountain to be placed here and will make extensive improvements in the depot by building passenger shed. The Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis will also probably accept a proposition made by the city for a fountain and will establish a park at the passenger depot.
 The Huntsville Light and Power Company has engaged a force. of line men to extend the incandescent wires through the residence portion of the city. Improvements amounting to S2oOO will be made. in the service for the benefit of residences.
 Dr. J. D. Humphrey, County Spuer lntendent of Education, has received numerous requests from the Super!n- tendents Of other North Alabama coun- toes Tor the names of unemployed nrst class teachers. There is evidently a scarcity Of teachers in this part of the State and there are many vacant po- sltions at present.
 George Campbell. a well known citi- zen of New Market. was digging on the premises of the late Mrs. Susa n Woodfln. Monday, and found $500 bur led In an old box. Mrs. Woodfin was an old woman and for many years drew a pension from the government. The md was in the vicinity of the place where Frank Jacks found a pot or gold last week and this has increas- ed the excitement in that locality. The County Superintendent of Edu- cation and the leading educators of North Alabama will hold a meeting in this city within the next.few weeks for the purpose of organizing a North Alabama Educational Association. The organization will be fashioned after the State Association, but will deal more particularly with matters of interest in this particular part of the State. This idea was originated at a Madison County Institute three months ago and it has met with unanimous endorse | nlent.

WALL STREET REVIEW THE MARKET RELEASES INTO
 TRIVIALITIES. Transactions Fell Below Half a Mil lion Shares-No Attention Paid
 to Any of the News
 of the Day.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-The stock mar" ket relapsed into trivialties again today. The transactions fell below half mil lion shares and mixed use of exchange at the close was wholly without significance, except as reflection of the indecision dwelling in the speculative minds No at tention' was paid to any news Of the day and, in fact, there were no occurrences values of securities. The bear traders made a feeble tentative raid shortly after the opening, but the onerings or stocks proved so small that they became intim- dated and bought back again, covering short lines which were left over from yesterday. The success of yesterday raid seems to have been due to an en- counter with some particularly weak spec more than a froth easily blown off the surface. Today showed stocks tena- ciously held again, notwithstanding the extreme listlessnesS of the demand Sishs of the renewed weakness in tne corn market after the opening dealings ln- duced some covering of shorts in stocks from Western sources, but these were not put out again when corn rallied later. The approach of a third day hiatus Tn the stock market. with the possibilities of favorable or unfavorable developments
 in the intervals was enough to dissuade either the bulls or the bears from com
 mitting themselves that length of time
 and to this deterrent influence may De
 added the recognized possibility of the
 making up of call loans on Friday. The
 reopening of the dispute between France
 and Turkey has some influence upon
 foreign markets. which is emphasized by
 the discouraging view caused by the pro
 longation of the Boer war. On the other
 hand settlement of the steel strike is
 believed in Wall Street to be possible al
 any time. Notwithstanding the depres-
 sion generally in foreign markets, there
 was active demand from the arbitrage
 houses for stock market settlement which isOSo be concluded tomorrow. Be- sides this. there were renewed offeringr on a large scale of exchange bills agatns, grain exports. The effect was to cause de cieed weakness in sterling exchange. The dealings in the local money market, how ever, continues to show a spirit of eau tion. due to the continuance of factors o depletion which are likely to gain force New York banks deposited $700,000 at the sub-treasury today to be transferred tC Chicago to meet current needs there, al though the simultaneous rise to within 5 cents of par of New York discount fl Chicago suggests that buying of stock! for Western accounts may have caused this demand for New York exchange. Th' fear is felt that yesterdays payment O | over A000.OO0 at. Philadelphia on accoun of the Bethlehem steel purchase ma. have affected New York bank reserves | The market closed dull and heavy.
 There was less doing in railroad bond | than yesterday, but prices were abou steady. Total sales, par value, $1.500, 900 United States bonds were ali unchanged | on the last call

Nsw Orleans Spot Cotton.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. 2s.-There was not much trading done in the market for spot cotton today, the radical differences existing between the views of buyers and sellers, effectually preventing anything ap. preaching a free movement. Sales. 35o bales, including 100 to arrive. Quotations reduced h on all grades except middlinS fair. which was marked down 1-16 The market for contracts was very much un- settled, prices tumbling about rapidly, without showig any disposition to seek a permanent level in either direction un- til near the close. Quite an active move ment characterized the early hours to- day and the commission element had their hands full attending to the execu- ton of investment orders, but a goodly proportion of the trading was in the na- ture of room work. made profitable by the kaliedoscopic character of the market. The first call showed five to six points gain on the new crop positions, and ad- Vanced five to six points additional This was followed by another rush of realizing sales that succeeded in breaking the mar, ket to the extent of 10 to F points, ana that in turn by fresh buying that sent prices up again until the close, when Auo gust was S634s. 75, a nominal loss of 10 points September gained 3 points ana the other positions were l@2 points aooVe vesterdaY's close,

MARKET FOR FUTURES
OPENING FIRM WITH PRICES
 SLIGHTLY HIGHER.
At the Close Options Were Down 4 to 6 Points on the Day-Bull
 Connections Were Weakened.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2s.-The cotton mar ket opened firm with prices 1 point lower to points higher. and immediately fol- lowing the call. displayed strength on room covering, moderate outside buying and absence of selling pressure. Liver, pool at one time, 597 points lower, turned firm upon finding our market unsympa- thetic to weakness. and gained much or the initial loss. But by the time the for- eigners decided to buy cotton, local trad CTS were turning profits and during the next half hour the two markets were working in opposite directions. The de. cline here was to 7.S3 on october ana !.Se on January. Once more Liverpool trled to conform to our ruling, but missed again, for covering developed on the break here and rallied the market to points; despite the fact that Liverpool closed easy at about the low hgures or the day. The domestic influences were quite the same as heretofore-bulish crop re, ports, weather advices, mill accounts ana spot cotton trade The nearby holidays were not calculated to stimulate new business and timid longs sold wherever opportunity offered, preierring to assume q neutral position during saturday, sun day and Monday. The South sold here in the afternoon. when the market had a turn for the worse, easing on to lower level of the day There were compara- lively few supporting orders and sentl- ment was inclined to favor reaction on the idea that Liverpool would come lower tomorrow. Rumors that August notices were to be issued tomorrow in large numbers helped to weaken bull convlc- tions The market finally was steady Wltn prices net 4Q6 points lower.

Weather Conditions. fTor past twenty-four bours.

IF6r pust IWenIy-louF houfA The high barometer Is still central over the far Northeast. but has acquired con- siderable energy since yesterday morning, and is now dominating the conditions east of the Mississippi. The overflow of cold air from this high towards relatively low pressures over the South has caused general rains and thunderstorms over the Southeast. the rainfall being heavy to excessive in portions of Georgia and Ala bama, and light to moderate elsewhere in the cotton belt. An area of low barom- eter over the Northwest, dipping as far south as Western Texas, Is causing light rains over the Upper Missouri Valley. Temperatures remain nearly stationary, except somewhat lower over the Dakotas.
