This First Unfavorable Foreign
Crop News a Strengthening
- Factor Here.
SEPTEMBER ADVANCES TO sc 3-4c
Talk of September Shortage Makes
That Option Relatively
Firmer.

Minneapolis Chamber OF Commerce, Aug.
14-The first really important crop news
from abroad, of unfavorable nature, was
received this morning and was an influence
for strength in wheat. Germany has hao
cold rains for fortnight and harvesting has
been retarded, especially in wheat and rye.
Berlin sent the report and added that in
consequence of the lowering Of quality con-
siderable foreign grain Of high grade Will
be needed in Germany this year for mixing.
This will probably come from Russia, ana
will help American exporters to the extent
that some Russian wheat that ordinarily
would be marketed in Liverpool may be di-
verted.
September wheat was off at the opening
and down nc to 6512c on quick break. lhls
on disappointing cables But recovery was
prompt and the market touched 661ac shortly
Considering our strength OF yesterday ana 'ne
German report an advance Of 7sd IN LlVer-
pool was very small. In the domestic news
there was much about the heavy corn yield,
and in Chicago general sentiment was un-
settled with the markets lively ana traoers
working both ways. The weather map was
more favorable than expected ana the not'n-
west had no rain except trace at winston.
The Price Current no essential cnange
IN the wheat situation, the grain movement
continuing fair
Only 139 cars came into Minneapolis, against
s2S on this day last year. or these lo9 cars
IS were winter wheat. Dulutn naa IL eaAe'
against IL last year.
Primary points received $4,000 bu, against
$4,000 bu, and shipped $4,000, against o90'
OOO Cearauces equaled $4,000 bu
At the close the market met with Tree
realizing and fell off again, but there was
q firm undertone all through. The talk OF
possible later scramble for September mao
the effect to hold that option relatively nrm-
or than December May. September closed
at 661g@66Ac; December, 641ac; May, 67ssc.
The cash market was active and demand
was good all around. No. 1 northern on

New York Cotton.

New York, Aug. 14.-The cotton market
2 points higher and immediately following
the call turned firm on feverish demand from
the shorts and on Wall street support. Be-
fore this furry of buying In any measure
subsided, October worked up to 1856 and
January to 7.S0c. The private crop reports III
hand, as during the last two weeks or more,
were very conflicting and clearly indicated
that the crop at best is a spotted one.
The early Liverpool cables were disap-
pointment but later that market rallied In
response to the lrmness here. Local prices
eased off several points late in the first hour
under profit taking by room shorts and a lull
in the support from the bull leaders.
Late in the morning the market had an
other upward squirt on fresh scare OF shorts
and stubborn bulling by the Wall street ele-
ment. Noon bids reflected an advance Of to
points. Spot frmer; middling upland,

Coffee and Sugar.

New York. Aug. 14.-Following quiet and
steady opening coffee became more active,
easier on near and about steady on distant
months. Opening figures were unchanged to 5
points higher. Europe sent steadier advices
than expected, Havre reporting a net ad-
vance Of n franc and Hamburg partially Il
pfenng up. The statistical position while at
tracing some attention, had not much effect
upon sentiment. Total sales to midday reached
5000 bags, including August at 5.2o@5.25c;

unchanged on other options. Brazilian ad-
vices reported Rio as steady and unchanged.

THE IRON TRADE REVIEW.


Cleveland, Ohio, Aug. 1.-THE Iron Trade
Review this week says:
The market activity in pig iron which pre-
vailed throughout July and in the early days
of August seemed to have slackened, 10
strongly in evidence this week. What iB
more, some furnaces have advanced their
prices for next years delivery under the con-
tinued and ell-distributed buying. Consur1-
ers of iron appear to be making up their
minds that furnace capacity is not so much
the determining factor in the account az
fuel supply. The handicap in this particular
is still pronounced. While the supply OK
coke from the Virginias is slightly better, the
anthracite situation is unchanged, and east
ern furnaces are negotiating for coke from
districts apart from the Connellsville dis
trict for the first half of next year at s25s
an oven, equivalent to So for ConnellsTills
coke.
| The example of large users of foundry
iron who have bought their supply for the
| first half of 1903 is being followed by others
whose wants are smaller and who have nat
| urally hesitated to pay the high prices every
where asked Cincinnati, Pittsburg and Chi
cago have been busy markets in foundry iron.
| and Buffalo has made good sales for dellV-
cry in the east we'll as in western New
| York The movement has brought rather
higher quotations than those OF week ago,
particularly on southern soft, southern Ohio
|
| irons Cincinnati officers have sold 5000
to $1,000 tons in the week, largely southern
foundry, besides basic and charcoal. Pitts
burg reports is, 900 tons of No. foundry sold
at from $21.75 to s2225 for the first half ot
1903. The steel corporation is reported to be
seeking considerable amounts of basic and
forge irons for the last quarter of this year
and the first quarter of next year, but no
purchases are reported. Contracts for Bes-
semer iron by the steel corporation for the
second quarter of 1903 are still in abeyance-
1t is a question II the Valley furnace men
| will be able to deliver the iron they havs
sold for the first quarter after taking care
of the business they must carry over from
this year. The feet that prominent south
ern furnaces have ceased selling for the
| first half of 1903 indicates both the extent
of the forward buying and the care of pro-
| ducers to prevent a repetition of the pecu-
| liar southern situation Of 1902. The mini
mum now is SIT for No. southern and s17.a
is asked in some cases; less frequently SIS.
