Liverpool was selling October and

Some contend that the damage in that

IN the bottoms in th. outhern part,
where no great amount of cotton Is

Still other sections OF the State are

Wheat Continues Active With Heavy

CHICAGO. July 30.-Wheat was very
active today, and trading Was heavy in
both September and December. The prin-
cipal feature OF the market was the
strength displayed in September. July
also received some attention, but the
trade in that option is small and has
been so for some time. so that orders
running up into hundred thousand
bushels would easily advance the price.
Corn-The stock here, while consider

large shipping lots OF cash corn except
at a considerable premium and for lc-
gitimate purposes. No. corn on the

No. yellow AZ a premium over this, and
the estimated receipts for tomorrow are
only seyenty-hye cars.
Oats The cash market developed
great activity today, the July situation
not cutting any figure. as the time has
become too short now to attempt TO
utilize any OF the off-grade oats for
contract purposes.

Of the general demand. and prices were
rather rapidly dvanced over those pre-

NEW YORK. July 3O.-The most con-
spicuous features CT today's stock mar
ket were a further falling off in the
transactions. a less general distribution
of the dealings, and a greater prepond-
erance of professional operations than
for some time past.
Missouri Pacific. which led the list in
respect TO activity and was exceptional
ly strong throughout. supplied more
than a tenth OF the total transactions.
Atchison common supplied another
tenth. The last named was exception
ally weak early in the day, declining
nearly a point. but it subsequently re-
covered its losses and closed fraction
ally higher than yesterday.
The only other stocks than can be
described as active were San Francisco
common and Colorado Fuel.
The further sharp advance in St
Louis and San Francisco issues, par
ticularly in the common, was explained
shortly before the close of business by
an authoritative. vet unofficial. an
nouncement that the company has Sc
