NEW YORK. July 2g.-3:I p. H.
The action of the stock market this
afternoon was by no means satisfae-
tory from the standpoint of the bulls.
The public was by no means attract
ed, and profit taking, therefore, was
attended with difficulty.
The situation that traders were hop
ing for were, namely. reports of heavy
showers in the west and that settle
ment of the steel strike had arrived,
but the effect of these developments
was altogether confined to the open
ing. The market sagged off more or
less all day after the irst hour or so
of trading, and generally kept under
initial prices and closed at about the
lowest of the day. Evidently the
market needs more than reports of
showers at this late day and strike
settlement news to bull It.

NEW YORK. July 29.-London was
active and strong to-day, based on the
news OF rains in the West and the ex-
pected settlement of the steel strike.
Steel was up IA for common, at 46ls
and preferred advanced l per cent, to
95ss. Rails gained " to Ia per cent.
The local market opened rather
strong and closed duh and weaker. The
cause OF the climax Of the day is not
easily to be distinguished. The news
from the West was good, and there is
a good prospect Of settlement of the
strike trouble, yet the market sagged
toward the end. United States Steels
were very active. 1t is predicted that,
in the event of settlement, steel pre-
ferred will go above par, with the
common edging on towards 80. Con-
solidated Gas is said to be good
thing. B. r. T. receipts have been
badly interferred with by the Brook
Ign bridge accident. Shortly after the
opening to-day there was rush to take
profits, and this led to "a shading OF
prices There is a feeling this after
noon that there will be an advance in
prices in day or two. and that then
the market will be good for sales.
Money closed at 2@2h per cent,
with the last loan at 2 per cent, To-
tai sales, $50, 400 shares.

PRODUCE.

| CHICAGO, July 29.-With the drouth
broken, the corn trade to-day led a
downward movement participated in by
the other cereals. Wheat, with other
bearish factors, contributing to the
weakness, closed &c lower for Septem-
Der delivery September corn closed
25aM26sc down, and September oats
1k@15sc depressed. Provisions closed
a trife higher except for lard.
In corn, there was but one consid-
Grafton, rain. After weeks of contem-
plation a weather map bearing no
marks Of rain, traders in corn came
into the pit believing that fair part
OF the crop might be saved, and pro-
ceeded Immediately to unload their
holdings, with the result that Septem-
Der was quoted simultaneously from
521ac to sac, or 1M@1hc to 21sc, I'M
der Saturdays closing price. There
was little else to the trade save liqui-
dation, which was continued with con-
siderable activity until noon, when
there was perccptible decrease IN the
volume of offerings. The price was
kept well under 53c all the session fol-
lowing the opening, although there was
fair amount of covering by traders
who had the courage to sell short when
prices were at their best. During the
afternoon September was forced 10
52Ac, and although there was a sharp
rally to 527sc, the tap OF the gong an
nouncing the close found the market
weak and nervous, September at 52sc.
a net loss for the day of 2h02Nc. Re
ceipts were 210 cars
A potent combination worked to
lower wheat values and prices nearly
all day were close to the bottom level.
The corn break was, of course, the
chief factor, but weak cables and bear
ish statistics formed an array almost
equally weakening. September opened
ssc to 1Hc lower at 69e to 6S12c. Liq-
uidation continued until the market,
having experienced no rally OF conse-
ouence, touched 6711c, this was near
the end of the season and reports OF
export buying and an allegation that
hail and rain had injured the north
western crop created sufficient appre-
hension among shorts, where numbers
had been greatly augmented during the
day, to cause covering under which
September rallied to 67sc. The close
was weak, 2 C net lower, at 67s<c. Ex-
porter reported 81 loads taken. Sea-
board clearances were 565,000 bushels,
while primary receipts were 100000
bushels compared with 100000 BUSH
els last year. Local receipts were 2S5
cars, 1876 of contract grade. North
western receipts were 1872 cars against
4O4 last week and go year ago.
In the oats pit selling was on a
heavy scale for the country account
the influence being the corn weakness.
September opened from 33%c to 32c
and almost instantly reacted from the
low point to 33%c. Thereafter the
market ranged well under S3c and
closed weak 1ac to NC lower, at 32Bc.
Receipts were 240 cars.
Provisions were neglected. The op-
ening was easy on the heavy hog

HOPES OF THE BULLS
Dashed to Earth by the Actions of
the Early Market.

NEW YORK, July 29.-The way in
which the stock market acted this
morning served to dash the hopes of the
bulls amongst the traders. who had in
! dulged hope that some accession OF
speculative interest would result from
the favoring factors over Sunday. For
two Mondays past the market has had
| to face an accumulation of discuraging
| factors, which resulted in selling down
prices within the first hour OF trading to
what proved to be the low point OF the
week.
This morning In contrast there was
| the news of rains in the corn belt
about which there was no dispute for
| the first time as to their extent and
| beneficial character. There was, be-
sides, the news of negotiations and
consultations between the representa-
tives of the United States Steel Cor
poration and of the Amalgamated AS
ISOLATION looking to the settlement OK

Wheeling register. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1878-1935, 1901-07-30

The week opened with a buoyant tone
to the speculation. This was brought
about by the favorable news, first, re-
garding the plentiful rains which had
fallen in great many sections of the
corn belt; and, second, the reported
conferences looking toward a settle
ment of the steel strike.
London came considerably above New
York parity, and In consequence of tho
reasons mentioned above, the railway
list opened better, as did also the Unit
ed States steel stocks, the common ad-
yancing two points, while the prefer
red gained one on very active trading,
and the railway list showed advances
of from fractions to per cent.
The wheat and corn options in the
Chicago grain market were two and
three cents, respectively. lower. In the
course of the day active trading ceased,
and the stock market drifted along
with resultant lower prices, due. per-
haps, to the taking of profits on the
bulge of the morning and an absence of
new buying power at the moment.
The news, as rule, was favorable,
especially as to the earnings OF the sew
eral railway systems, but no definite
news as to the actual crop damage can
be ascertained at the moment, nor has
any official announcement as to the
actual settlement of the steel differences
been made. The close was dull and
slightly below the best prices of the
day.

communication between the President

great deal of business with which the
President cannot burden himself and
some cabinet officer, possibly Secretary
