Chicaao 'chanue,

Chicago. July 29.-Bears were in full control of all grain markets most of the day. The tumbling was not confined only to breaks in July where there had been manipulation. T-.e whole grain list wheat, corn, oats and rye, in all months went lower under the smothering weight of big receipts and prospects of immense coarse grain crops. In July where sen- sational decreases were expected the bears were somewhat disappointed. In the other months, however. where prices were considered on a fair com mercial basis, the drops were sudden and disastrous to the bulls and in all quite astonishing. Toward the close reaction set in in almost all grains. par ticularly in July oats which had lost 5 cents. In the end July wheat lost Ac; September wheat 11d9sc; July corn 4c; September corn 415c. and September oats %c; July oats closed Pc higher and pro- visions 5d35c down.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:

 Island Deal Felt Also.
.xPoRTS ARE RESTRICTED

New York, July 29-Poday's stock mar ket did not show as much positive weak ness early as was the case yesterday and there was even some attempt to invite revival of speculatioy for the rise. But this proved abortive and the tone of the market decidedly weak late in the day. The attempt to revive speculation turn ed to a few low priced stocks. apparently on the supposition that campaign In these stocks would prove more attractive to the general public than the high priced stocks. The movement exhausted itself after an advance of something over point in Reading and Chicago Great Western with a slight sympathetic ef- feet in allied stocks. News of disorders In the mining region seemed to be con strued as evidence that the coal miners strike was in course of disintegration. No definite announcement was made of further engagements of gold for export, but it was generally believed that at least $2,OOO,OOO more will go out on Thurs day The movement continues to puzzle observers more or less. Large obligations to foreigners are known to be maturing constantly It Is also clear enough that the restricted volume of our exports has left but scanty supply of exchange bills for remittances For instance, our ex- ports since July l. from Atlantic ports in business have been in wheat and flour 13704000, compared with 19034.800 for the corresponding period of last year; of corn 37230O compared with 765,00o and of oats 151, 100 compared with 600.
 But there Is the same discrepancy in the money rates here and those abroad that there was when these foreign loans were negotiated Money Is now declining to check the calling home of credits which necessitates the gold shipments. The re- newal of the feverish tone of Rock Island has much to do with the undertone of weakness of stocks. The delay in the formal announcement of the details of the plan gives rise to some apprehension of changes. The criticism of the plan turns on the feature which proposes to convert stock into foreclosure bonds. Late in the day the bears were encouraged by the failure of various attempts to put up prices to make a determined attack under which the market yielded sharply. The scramble among the room shorts to cover at the close and the resulting sharp rallies revealed the professional character of this attack. The market closed active and extremely irregular feature of the day was the persistent absorption of Missouri Pacific at all levels. Colorado Fuel was notably weak.
 The activity in the bond market was confined to some of the convertible is- sues. Total sales, par value, 8. .105, 900; United States bonds were unchanged on the last call

 Chicago, July 29-London displayed heaviness but arbitrase houses bought in small way on balance. Selling ap- peared at the start with Rock Island jammed down points, but strong sup port appeared in the stock while 1t was officially announced that no assistance would be required from banks or trust companies. Quite a good bit of selling ap- peared in Atchison but the stock was we'll taken, while Missouri Pacific was heavily bought by a Gould house on most favorable crop reports and the heavy movement of new grain in the southwest, realizing appeared in Frisco, Texas Pa ciflc and Southern Pacific, while there was selling in Union Pacific against the bonds. Good buying appeared in c. G. W. There was more or less talk of Wisconsin Central being taken over by Canadian Pacific although there was nothing con- firmatory Good buying in the anthracites on talk of near settlement of strike ow- ing to dissatisfaction amongst sthe min CTS. es
 There was a demand early for T. C. l., but the stock worked off following a sharp slump in c. F. l.
 A drive was made on U. S. s.. but they were we'll supported. Copper was strong. Sentiment if anything was bearish on P. O. and W. U. There was little support in the latter but both stocks acted heavy.
 The regular dividend was declared on U. P The market turned quite weak dur ing the afternoon, 1t having become evil dent that number of pools had liquidat- ed especially M. s. M, s. F. and Nor foA while a drive was made on sugar, but the stock was well supported. Realiz- ing was quite free in A. c. P, due to the bullish attitude Of Lawson of Boston, who was mistrusted. Towards the close sell ing became quite pronounced, especially in the rails, with sentiment bearish in the room on talk of further gold shipments for Thursday, with more to follow.
