JEW YORK.. Aug. 21.-Bradstreets Co.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Wheat and crop conditions arc still the
keynotes to fall trade. In the Northwest
and Southwest buyers are taking hold ener-
getically and reports as a whole are as
good or better than a year ago. In the
East fall jobbing has started in well, though
perhaps not so active as hoped for. Some
soft spots, however. are noted in the GEN.
trail West in which crop yields were light
er than hoped for, inducing conservative
buying Retail trade is seasonably quiet
and collections are reported backward IN
number of instances.
One of the notable developments Is the
general softening OF pig iron prices fol
lowing the heavy buying OF two weeks
past. Fewer industrial operatives are on
strike now than for months past, but the
idleness of cotton mill operatives tends rath-
er to increase. The lumber trade Is active
West and North, but in the East IL has not
yet recovered from the depression IN
duced by labor troubles now about draw
ing to a close. Shoe manufacturing Is
notably active the country over, and East
Railway earnings for the first half of Au-
gust continue TO show good gains. The
Eastern jewelry trade is quiet for the sea-
son and the labor situation is not very
clear one. Leather Is reported firm but
quiet as whole, the shoe manufacturers
buying only from hand TO mouth New

X. G. Dun e. Co.'S Weekly Review OF
Trade summarizes iron and steel condi-
tions as follows: Although production OF
coke at Connellsville has been moderately
curtailed, supplies accumulate and prices
are depressed. fairly liberal tonnage OF
iron has been placed during the past week,
providing abundant demand for all the pig
that is being made. More large contracts
for iron and steel have been placed by
prominent manufacturer of agricultural ma
chinery, and much OF this business has
been held back entirely on account OF
prices, il is believed that no further con-
cessions are tc be expected"

WHEAT'SUPWARDCOURSE
HIGHER PRICES PREVAILED ON
CHICAGO BOARD of TRADE.
September Corn Was Up 5-Sc and Oats
Showed an Advance-DetaiIs
of the Day.

CHICAGO, Aug. H.-Higher prices pre-
vailed on the Board of Trade to-day, and
wheat, after opening weak. closed firm, with
September a shade higher. September corn
was up &c, oats were sc up, and provisions
were from 1Oc to 2Oc higher.
There was big trade in wheat and the
market was quite nervous the greater part
of the day. Opening prices were weak on
lower cables, excellent weather in the
Northwest and lower markets at Duluth
and Minneapolis. September was off AGasc
to 1850 at 1880 to SOlsc and with heavy
selling early in the day the market de-
cined still further, September selling off
to 791sc. Toward noon a better demand de-
veloped on large clearances, increased de-
mand together with favorable crop advices
from Nebraska and turned strong
September advanced to Sic. The mar
ket retained much of it's strength
and closed firm with September a
up A@asc. closing at S1%c. Clearances of
wheat and flour were equal to 101, 800 BUSH
els. Exports of wheat and flour for the
week according to Bradstreet's were 1875, 900
bushels Primary receipts were 470,S00 BUSH
els against 1,010, 200 bushels a year ago.
Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts
1O1 cars-twenty-fi Of contract grade
made total receipts for the three points of
26l cars against 224 cars last week and 516
year ago.
Corn started weak, affected by the fine
growing weather and the weakness in the
wheat market but a strong reaction Oc-
Cured later in the day and good advances
were made. One OF the chief causes for the
upturn was liberal covering by shorts, al
though there were also good purchases by
bull leaders. An excellent export demand,
together with bullish crop advices from
Nebraska, were factors in bringing out the
better demand. The close was strong, with
September &c higher at 51ssc, after ranging
between 50s4c and 52Ac. December was up
SAC 'at 51%0517sc. Local receipts were 1S2
cars, with forty of contract grade.
Oats also developed good strength, after
selling off fractionally at the start. Offer
ings were light the greater part of the day.
and shorts showed considerable disposition
to cover. and there was fair buying by COM
missions, most of which was for local ac-
count The strength in wheat was a sup
porting influence The close was strong,
with September ssc higher at Csc, after SELL
ing between 341ac and 351sc. December
closed at $3.50, a gain Of &c. Local receipts

Provisions ruled strong, with fair amount
of trading. A fair advance in prices for
hogs at the yards was early bull factor,
and buying by prominent longs and out
siders helped to maintain the early strength.
Packers were again the principal sellers.
September pork closed 1Oc higher at $12.S 71a,
September lard was up 20c at $S.U, and ribs
were up 171kc at T72k.

of Markets Elsewhere.

UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS, Aug.
I.-Cattle-Receipts, 2oo0; shipments, 500. The
combined receipts OF cattle for five days indi-
cate an increase OF LOO over the same time last
week and LOO over the corresponding time
year ago. The receipts to-day were nearly twice
as large as a week ago and 500 larger than year
ago and the largest receipts since Aug. and
possibly since July %.
With the increased receipts there were. OF
course, more good cattle than heretofore this
week. but the proportion not MUCK larger
than IL has been. The market opened with
rather good request from nearly all buyers
and especially from local packing houses for
the good thick. fat cattle. such as have been
scarce for several days, and there rather
prompt sale for that class at strong prices
compared with yesterdays average. There were
quite number of dealers. however who be-
lieved that prices were a little stronger and it
was generally admitted that the market was
fully as high as at the close OF last week il not
a tribe higher. The fat cows and heifers did
not show quite much strength as steers but
prices were possibly no lower for the right kind
There was world of common to medium cattle
on the market, including a large number of
Western range cattle, and early in the day il
was next to impossible to persuade buyers to
look at this class.
There was no perceptible change in the market
later in the day. All cattle that came in that
were up to the requirements in quality and flesh
could be sold at strong prices. but there was
practically no outlet for others There were
probably thirty loads of Western range cattle
that buyers claimed had no kill to Them and at
late hour it was evident that most of these.
together with large number of common to me-
oium native cattle, would be left unsold. The
country demand for feeding cattle was probably
the smallest of the for this time in the
week and this, OF course, was responsible for a
SLOW request from professional buyers. and as
result there was hardly enough stockers and
feeders changed hands to show the true condition

ing Firm and steady.

Tt was a busy day yesterday Commits
sion row. Sales of fruits and vegetables are
seldom larger than at the present time as
the fruits are now at their best i'm most
lines and canning is progressing quite rap
idly. Peaches are not in large supply. but
the receipts are ample To meet the home
consumptive demand. Pears and apples of
good quality are in fair supply, while there
is plenty of inferior fruit which sells at low
figures and requires careful buying. Toma-
toes are coming in more freely and prices
are easing off somewhat. Irish potatoes
also are in good supply and selling at rea-
sonable figures. Sweet potatoes are selling
lower than usual so early in the season.
The produce merchants are fairly busy Re-
ceipts OF eggs continue. comparatively
speaking. light. while the demand is so
good that the highest range of prices ever
known i'm August now prevails. The condi-
lions with butter are much the same as for
several days past, a choice article being a
ready mover at the best quotations. New
peas are on the market. New cheese is on
the market and is an active mover. The
wholesale grocers are having a big trade,
prices ruling firm and steady. Sugars are
selling lower than q year ago but some
are higher than a month ago. Coffees rule
steady, as they have for some time past
and roasted grades are moving well. The
flour market is hardly as active as last
month While there is no decline in prices
they can hardly be said TO be as firm In
tone week ago, owing to the unsettled
condition OF the wheat market. Other

week thus far the receipts of hogs show a de-

to-day were around 1000 larger than week ago

buyers for the good to fancy light hogs and they
were were selected early at strong to higher prices
than yesterday, good many sales showing nos
siDiy DC advance when the average weight w =
considered. The demand for medium 10 heavy
hogs at the start was very slack and the hid
ding indicated that buyers would try TO force a
reduction in prices The supply however was
again in favor of statesmen ana they refused to
make any concessions. Finally this class was
selling selling at about yesterdays prices and later a
little stronger competition developed and 6rmer
prices were secured. At the extreme close OF the
market there was considerable rivalry between
packers and shippers for the hogs and sales
were frequently made at advance of Sc 70 10c
in prices over the opening, especially on hogs
that would average around $50 lbs and less The
trade. however did not want many extremeIv
heavy hogs above $50: A good clearance was
made and the finish of the market was strong
and apparently healthy. Sales ranged from s5 n
to s601h and the light hogs sold largely above
$685. and the medium to heavy grades largely
below $40 Quotations:
