tions-corn Leaves OF Unchanged and

= CHICAGO, Aug. IA bearish sentiment
pefyaded the grain and provision pits
today and September wheat closed IS % q c
lever. September corn was unchanged and
oats were 7sc lower, while provisions We're
from NC higher to zoe lower.
Wheat had hard setback from the
advance it made yesterday, and the mar
ket ruled weak the greater part of the
severe decline at Paris, together with ex-
cellent harvest weather in the Northwest
and September was off rs 11c at 7sA@
f9s. There was quite general selling
at the start, With some OF the large
commission houses and some local longs
on that side OF the market, and after
touching soc September started on the
down grade. and although there were
some reactions, the general tendency was
toward lower prices. The Northwest and
st. Louis markets We're lower. which add
ed to the depression mere. After selling
down to 1890, September rallied some-
what, but the close was weak and rs %
~ lower at 1880.

Notwithstanding the weakness in wheat,
corn prices held comparatively firm. but
trading was of small volume. The

freer. Gables were strong and but for the
decline in wheat the market would have
made a good advance. After selling be-
tween SIC and 523sS September closed un-
changed at 521sc. Local receipts were l5l
cars, with 10 of contract grade.
Oats ruled fairly active and with the
support of commission houses and some OF
the local bulls the market held steady in
spite of the weakness in wheat. Liberal
shipments of contract oats was help to
prices. The close was steady, with Sep
TENDER hc lower at 34Bc, after ranging
between 34Bc and 34Rc. Local receipts

Raid in Canadian Pacific.

Later in the day raiding tactics by the
bears showed themselves distinctly eSpe-
tally in Canadian Pacific, which was forced
down four points the circulation or
baSelesS rumorS alleging the closing on
the Montreal stock exchange and renewed
financial difficulties there. Even this did
not disturb the apparent equan1mlty OF the
market. The tone was heavy and sluggish
all day. but the character of the market
was very different from the acute weak
ness shown in the later stages OF the re-
cent decline. What the cause OF the I'M
provement was did not become known, al
though rumors to account for the change
were abundant. 1t was believed that some
large settlements had been erected by
the taking over of important holdings OF
various stocks by private agreement, thus
relieving some weak points in the situa-
tion
powers was accepted as evidence that I'M
portant financial interests were prepared
to afford support to the market II neces-
sary to prevent its running into demof-
aliZation. Yesterdays Suppositlon that
vigorous upward movement of prices had
been determined upon by the tnanclai
powers was seen to be without foun-
dation. But this did not prevent feellng
of comfort over the check to the mead
long downward course of prices and the
consequent contraction OF credits, Whlcn
was threatening disaster.
One of the developments of the day was
a steadier tone in the foreign exchange
market, which seemed rapidly approa CHI
ing the gold import point in the last two
days. 1t is an anomaly of the situation
that the firmer tone of exchange afforded
some relief to sentiment
What Bank Statement Promises. &
The heavy offerings of the last few days
have not been against commercial exports,
but have been of bankers loan bills, which
it was feared represented an urgent pres
sure for credits that could. not be, satisfied
at home The. lighter offerings of this
class of bills today was viewed with sat
isfaction Tomorrows bank statement
promises to show a small loss In cash, the
receipts on balance from the interior being
so much smaller than last week as not to
wipe out the loss BY the banks to the sub
bered that the banks gained upwards of
$1,000 oooo last week The market seem nee
outlook for the loan item is obscure and
there is nothing to indicate that the
weeks liquidation in stocks will be any
more reflected in the loan item than was
the disappointing case last week.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value lbs, 900. United States bonds
were all unchanged on the last cali.

Buying Movement Has Spent Its Force and
Market Is Not Disastrousiy Affected by
SefIing-Bears Hit Canadian Pacific a
Plenty.

NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-Today's stock
market started upwards in continuation
of yesterdays late movement towards re-
covery, but it became apparent very
quickly that the further advance In prices
was encountering sales to take profits on
yesterdays rise. The buying movement
also seemed to have spent its force, and
there was no disposition shown to follow
the advance in prices. On the other hand
it was apparent that support was forth
coming Tor the market on declines and
there was no renewal of the tone OF de-
moralization such as characterized the
market yesterday morning before the rally
set in.
Even the resumption of liquidation in
spots which was easily perceptible, was
taken clamly by the market which de-
'veleped no appearance of disorder at any
time. There was free selling Of some of
the Western grain carriers New York Gen.
trail and the specialties. Pressure was re-
newed upon Virginia Carolina Chemical,
and it was believed that collateral for
loans was being thrown upon the market
again.
