THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET
Wheat Starts Out Strong, But Later
Weakens Under Selling Pressure

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-Wheat started
out strong on the wet weather in Eng
land and the fact that the foreign mar
ket had failed TO reflect Saturday S
weakness here. The predictions of show
cry weather tomorrow in the Northwest
also helped it. Continued steady pres
sure of stuff sold against current ar
rivals, along with more or less scat
tered short selling by commission firms.
finally made a weak market. Although
visible decreased 1,5O9,00 bushels. il
was assumed that 1t was because the
very heavy arrivals of the last week had
gone into private elevators and mixing
houses to be manipulated up to grade.
There was less support to the Septem-
ber futures than heretofore, and some
narrowing of the spread between this
month and December. Primary market
receipts were today 1900, 900, against l.
423.0 900 bushels a year ago. There were
104 cars of new spring wheat received
at Minneapolis. and ii graded very we'll.
The worlds shipments last week were
7.304 900 bushels. Late cables reported
wheat firmer in England, owing to un-
favorable weather.
Corn started out strong on the wet
weather in Iowa and the prospects of
cooler weather in the Northwest. Re-
ceipts were only 43 cars, and estimates
for tomorrow 45 cars. Some OF the re-
cent buyers of the December corn were
quietly slipping out of it today. The
worlds shipments last week showed a
marked falling off. indicating that the
foreigner is waiting for lower prices
for our new stuff.
Oats followed the other grains. There
vas strength early on the excessive
rains. but the market sold off later on
ABSENCE of speculative buying and
rather tame cash demand The visible
supply decreased 1000 and the local
stock decreased 100000 bushels There
was some covering early by the North
west
Provisions were strong early on light
offerings, but sold off later. Packers
were sellers of January product on the
advance, and closing prices were about
the same as Saturday. TIE average
weight of last weeks hogs WIS the same
as for the previous week, PA pounds as
compared with 23s-pound average the
corresponding week last year. Receipts
today were $4,000 and estimated for to-
morrow only 1900. The buying of Oc-
tober lard by strong local people was
one of the early features of strength.

BOUNDARY OF ZOO PARK"
Difficulty Cannot Be Settled Until Prof
Langley Returns From Europe.

Mr.. Richard Rathbun. acting secretary
of the Smithsonian Institution, has writ
ten to the District Commissioners ac-
knowledging a communication relative
to the proposed adjustment of the lines
of the eastern boundary to the Zoo
Park
MFR. Rathbun suggests that as this
change involves the surrenderiDg of a
considerable tract from the area dedi-
Gated by Congress for the purposes of
the Zoo Park. 1t seems proper that the
subject should have the personal atten-
tion of Secretary Langley. who is at
present absent in Europe. The Acting
Secretary suggested that no action be
taken in the matter until Prof. Langley
returns and has had the opportunity of
giving it consideration.
The Commissioners will take no ac-
tion at present. deferring the matter un-
til 1t can be taken UP with Prof. Lang
ley on his return to the city.

General Trend.
MONEY is STILL A FACTOR
Further Severe Break in Sterling Ex-
change-L. & N. the Days Leader,
Touching a New High Level-Ma-
jority of Railway Shares Sell OH.

NEW YORK. Aug. 1S.-The transac-
tions in stocks today were only about
half as large as in the two previous full
business days, the restriction OF the
dealings being directly attributable TO
the prevailing uncertainty regarding the
immediate course OF the money market.
This uncertainty occasioned moderate
scattered liquidation in various issues
and contributed TO sales of American
railway shares in this market for for
eign account TO the extent of about
1S,c00 to 10000 shares on balance. Be-
yond a fairly firm money market and
somewhat conflicting reports regarding
the latest crop reports, there was little
interest bearing upon security prices.
Sterling Exchange Breaks.
The most important happening of the
day was a further severe break in ster-
ling exchange. demand declining to
4.ss.55 The weakness cf this market re-
suited from large offerings of loan or
finance bills and of commercial futures
based on the prospect of heavy ship
ments of our products TO Europe in the
near future. While the finance bills
were coming from various sources. it
was considered significant that the prin-
cipal offerings today we're made by Ger
man International banking houses, per-
mitting the inference that the Ger
man as we'll as French capital is avail.
able for the New York loan market.
The crop damage alleged to have re-
suited in various sections of the coun-
try, both from hot winds and from
frosts. failed to affect the grain markets,
as both wheat and corn sustained an
average decline of nearly a cent
bushei. The extreme high rate for call
money was per cent and the ruling
figure was only slightly lower
The days monetary statistics were
favorable to the banks, it being the
period of maximum pension disburse-
ments for the month, which caused
the banks to pain about s77S,O0 up to
close of business on Saturday. Fur
thermore. the subtreasury was debtor
at the clearing house for over sie0, 600.
These large pensions payments will not
continue beyond another day or two and
toward the end of the month the sub
treasury collections are usually the
heaviest. At the same time the amount
taken in for customs so far this week
has been below the recent comparative
ly heavy average.
