wheat prices were rather cratic. good
advances being made early in the day,
but during the last half of the session
all the gain was lost. The opening was
lrm on sharp advance at Paris, and on
further rains in the Northwest. Septem-
per being &c lower to Nc higher at 80Ac
to S09sc. On generally bullish news a
good demand developed from spectators
and shorts and under this influence the
market became quite strong September
selling up to S0Bc. Later in the day
sharp falling off in prices at Minneapolis
ana prices here broke severely, September
declining to 1880. The close was weak
and near the bottom, September being off

ing of September by elevator people, which
was in line with reports of freer offerings
of cash corn from Iowa and Nebraska
The weather was also bear factor After

Der closed &c lower at 5134c. Local re-
ceipts were 1875 cars, with % of contract
grade.
There was little trading in oats and
prices were inclined to follow other
grains, the early strength in wheat be-
ing a supporting afctor during the first
part of the session, but later offerings be-
came more liberal and the market eased
off. September closed with a loss of &c

and 34Ac. Local receipts We're 112 cars.
Provisions ruled quiet and prices were

| Wheat started the week with the bulls
triumphant and carrying all before them.
September wheat sold at S0Ac. Trade
was large at the opening but fell off after
an hour. The market hung around S01sc
strong as could be. yet hesitant. 1t was
an even guess which way the next turn
would carry 1T. Sentiment, however was
unchanged and bullish news and bullish
talk heard everywhere. The pit traders
feared a shake out and this was the
cause of the hesitation. Aside from the
considerable liquidation appear, the feel
ing in the pit was bulliSh. Minneapolis
| led the strength. the weather in the
Northwest being an important influence
Reports were unfavorsble as ever from
, both the spring and winter wheat fields.
Corn failed to show any Sensational
strength, as some traders had expected,
which was one thing to prevent a run
away market in wheat. The appearance
of the visible supply report. showing an
increase of asa, 600 blu, Started some sell
ing. and September. having sold to 80Kc
broke sharply 1Ac to 1880. Liverpool
and London had a holiday but Paris was
25 centimes up on wheat.
AT the moment the situation seems to
be piyoted on the extent of the movement
to primary marketings. Bears are pin
ming their hopes on the belief that there
will be speedy and very important in
crease in these marketings, and the bulls
are basing their operations on the fact
that such increase has not yet appeared.
Thus far the most powerful interests have
must be admitted that the market is very
responsive The export demand, next to
the interior marketings, will be the fea-
ture of most influence during the week

found Doubt Regarding the Speculative
Outlook Is the Cause of Apathy.

NEW YORK, Aug 3.-The stock mar
ket settled down into an almost immov-
able rut today Stocks OF the first class
which tfayersed range of as much as a
point might be numbered on the fingers
of one hand. Union Pacific was the
most prominent of these and was forced
down at one time IA but was not held
there. The selling was attributed to pro-
fessioEal manipulation for effect on the
market The undertone of the general
market was in fact heavy. but the drift
of prices was quite ainlless and sluggish
to degree close to inertia.
The only significance to be derived
from the market is therefore the ex
IRENE apathy of the trading representing
the profound doubt in which the specula-
tive outlook is shrouded according to all
the options that one can gather in the
Wall street district The total dealings

Previous Low Record of Volume.

There were several weeks in August
and September of that year when the
daily average of transactions was less
than 100000 shares, and on several days
during the summer the dealings for full
days session fell to below 100 900 shares
The low record for that summer was on
Aug. g. when only 1924 shares changed
hands. The total dealings for the week
ending Aug. "a of that year were only
$4,000 shares
The principal pulse in the situation
which was dwelt on today was the as
tonishing maintenance of theSvolume of
loans OF the associated banks in face of
the thorough liquidation to which the
stock market has been subjected. The
enormous shrinkage in prices of securi-
ties has caused obvious decrease in
the base of credits and the urgent selling
of securities to make good this shrinkage
IN margins or to pay off loans outright
has been patent to all observers for
month after month in the stock market.
Conjecture loses itself in the attempt
to guess what great sink hole can have
absorbed the tremendous proceeds of all
this liquidation with practically no eff :
feet on the loan item of the banks nor OF
the trust companies The question of
possible over extension of credits out
side the securities market and the ne
eessity for future contraction there sim
liar to that which Wall street had been
going through engages an interesting
amount of attention.
