SLIGHT FINAL CHANGES
WEDNESDAYS STOCK EFT Al
MOST A DUPLICATE OF TUESDAYS.
Crop Prospects Cause Buying of Vest
ern Grangers-Eng1ish Monetary
Conditions More Favorable.

NEW YORK. Aug. 2.-To-day's market
for stocks was practically a duplicate OF
Yesterdays, except that the final reaction
on traders proft-taking was rather more
marked. with the result that the table of
net changes is more mixed between small
gains and losses than yesterday. The pre-
Vailing tone of the market was firm to
strong. up to the irregular closing on the
reaction. The character of the buying
made IL very evident that IL represented
the opinions of professional traders as to
future values rather than the convictions
of investors. There was some evidence,
also, of the operations of pools formed by
the larger class of traders. What motives
actuated these operations the public was
left to conjecture. There was quite an act
i've demand for the Wabash securities,
which lifted them at one time q to l%s.
There was continued buying of the %coalers,
which was based on the showing disclosed
by the Erie's annual report, which shows
a substantial Increase in gross earnings,
Notwithstanding a considerable falling off
in the tonnage transported, a demonstra-
ton of the greater stability of rates main
tanned among the anthracite carriers by
reason of the extension Of community of
interest. The coming monthly increase Of
10 cents on a ton of anthracite also counted.
The Erie stocks themselves sold off on ac-
count of some unexplained remarks of the
chairman in his report regarding the APP
proach of a time when arrangements for
new capital can be made. There was some
continued buying from Western sources
of the grain-carrying roads, which was,
apparently, for short account. Some revi-
sion of p~essimistic views regarding the
corn crop seemed to be the cause of this
covering. The United States Steel stocks
were almost dormant and were merely
steady. The continued ease of the London
money market and the further drop in call
loans there to-day TO per cent, gives
ground for some expectation that the Bank
of England rate will be reduced to-mor-
row.
The railroad bond market was decidedly
more active to-day. but the tone was
steady to firm. Total sales, at par value,
were S2,213,00. United States bonds were
all unchanged on the last call.
Following are the days share sales and
the recorded price changes:

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-The leading specu-

had a profit in sight. Light seaboard clear
ances. heavy receipts and generally favor
able weather soon turned the scale. and
on a moderate volume of sales the market
declined TO 69Ac. Here the market steadied
and ruled dull for a time under local con-
ditions. The report of the severance OF
diplomatic relations between Turkey and
France later came TO the aid OF the bulls.
Offerings suddenly dwindled TO almost moth
ing, and a small demand from nervous
shorts was sufficient to cause a rally of lie
from the bottom. The close was steady.
September hc over yesterday at 7O19c. Ex-
porters reported thirty-eight loads taken.
Seaboard clearances were 10000 blu, the
smallest In weeks. Primary receipts were
l,2l6,OO bu. compared with 1903, 900 bu last
year. Local receipts were l64 cars, - of
contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported 1872 cars, making a total for the
three points of CSC cars. against S5 last
week and Goa a year ago.
The government report, showing consid-
cradle Improvement in corn crop conditions
since Aug. 1, had a depressing effect on
values all day. Heavy quantities were
liquidated early, and during this movement
the bears embraced the opportunity of taxi
ing a flyer on the short side OF the market.
The creation OF the latter interest led to
the partial recovery later, when wheat
turned firm, as the shorts were quick to run

additional incentive OF heavy hog receipts.

that no dividends will be paid prior to

physical condition of the company is such
as TO induce directors TO put their surplus
earnings into improvements rather than TO
use them for returns 10 the stockholders.
