WHEAT LOSES A LITTLE
SESSION is DULL AND UNiNTER.
EsTING AFFAIR THROUGHOUT
Opening Is Steady with Small Advance,
but Favorable Weather and Anticipa-
tion Of Heavy Receipts Induce Selling,
with the Inevitable Deciine-oats Down
and Corn Unchanged.

CHICAGO. Aug. 29.-Wheat closed
steady at decline of Bc for September
and Is @Ac for December. Corn was
steady and unchanged for September,
with December shade higher. Septem-
Der oats closed 1ac lower; December was
unchanged. Provisions were unchanged
to 15@17hc higher.
The wheat market was dull and unin-
teresting and although the opening was
steady ON the cables and early prices
showed a small advance, local selling
quickly brought about reaction and a
loss that was not recovered. September
opened shade lower to a shade higher,
at SIc to 81 14c and sold upto S11ac. with
december following to 82asc, after open
ing at &c to S21sc. There were reports
or heavy receipts for Monday and this
together with more favorable weather in
dlcat1ons in the wheat belt, induced the
selllng which carried the nearer month
down to SOAc and December to 81Ac.
Toward the end of the session the pres
sure lessened and the close was steady at
a loss of 7sc for September at sic and Of
Bg Ae for December at 81N @82c.
Ihere was but little export demand and
receipts were fair Minneapolis and Duluth
reporting receipts Of 379 cars, which with
local receipts of 100 cars-15 of contract
grade-made total for the three points
OF 5Os cars, against 314 last week and 1894
q year ago. Clearances of wheat and
hour were equal to 1916, 500 bushels.
Flrmness In Corn.
the cooler weather in the West and there
was good demand from pit traders and
commission houses early. Prices eased
on somewhat later, when weakness deyel-
oped In wheat, but rallied again during
the final hour on less assuring reports
from Iowa and Nebraska as to the prob
able yield. September closed unchanged
at 5OA @5OBc, after ranging between
50Ac and 51Bc, with December a shade
higher at 5OBc. having sold between 50A C
and 51B @51Ac. Local receipts were 311
cars. with Al Of contract grade.

tureless trade. The leading bulls con-
tlnued to sell, but in no influential way
The. close was steady at 1ac loss for Sep
tember at 34Bc, after ranging between
34Bc and 351sc, and with December un-
changed at 361s @36Ac. Local receipts

September lard led the provision list
and impaired some strength to the mar
ket. Shorts were the best buyers of lard
put trade was small throughout. Sep
tember pork closed unchanged at $3.50,
with lard up 15@17Hc at $780, and ribs
unchanged at $3.50.
The estimated receipts for Monday are:

NEW YORK. Aug. 29.-No Significance
can be attached to today's small deaf
ings in stocks by a handful of professional
room traders Very few prominent stocks
covered an extreme range OF as much as
a point and the market f1uctuated uncer-
tainly in the interval. There were a few
advances at the opening which may have
been due to the contradiction of the first
reports that the United States vice con-
sui at Beirut had been murdered. No out
side response came to this movement and
the traders sold the market off on an
early impression that the bank statement
would not be as good as tne forecasts
indicated. AS consequence the poor
bank statement was followed by harden
ing, in the market, due to covering by
early short sellers, and the market closed
firm, but practically lifeless and at
level slightly higher than last night.
The banks show an increase in cash
Of only 81 ,205, 100 where a gain of up
wards of 81, 900. 900 was expected. and the
loan account was again expanded to the
extent of upwards of 100000. This loan
increase is in reality measure OF the in
activity of the money market as 1t is
supposed to be due to the putting out at
unremunerative call loan rates by the
banks of funds deposited by the trust
companies to take advantage of the rate
paid by the banks on deposits.
Result of Treasury's Plan.
Besides this, sentiment on the money
market outlook has taken on tone Of
assurance since the announcement Of the
treasury's plan to deposit 40,000,000 with
the banks if necessary. This plan comes
in for a good deal of discussion in Wall
street by reason of the new contention
involved that internal revenue receipts, if
distinguished in the bookkeeping, may be
transferred to the banks even though they
have been received by the treasury. Hith-
erto internal revenue receipts have been
considered available for deposits in the
banks. The knowledge of resources in
reserve for the money market oVerrideS
other considerations.
Bonds have shared in the dullness and
sluggishness Of the stock market. United
States Is and old As advanced n per
cent and the new Is registered declined
" per cent as compared with the closing
call of last week.

London Stocks.

LONDON. Aug. SO-A distinct holiday
feeling pervaded the stock markets last
week and the amount of business was
limited. Consols displayed better tone,
but the Balkan troubles had rather
depressing influence on the markets gen
orally. Bulgarian and Turkish securities
declined. Chinese and Japanese were
firm. together with all silver stocks.
Argentines were bought largely on the
favorable budget statement.
The movements in Americans were of
a see-saw description, the operators, fol-
lowing the feeling in Wall street, adopt
ing waiting attitude, but on the whole
a greater confidence prevailed.

pect and big receipts on Mondey were
the bear arguments in wheat. Against
them it was a hard matter for the bulls
to make much Roadway and, while the
marked worked up fractionally at times,
1t was only to go down again on renewed
selling. The bulls are standing on their
contention that conditions generally are
strong and higher prices will be recorded
later on. The bears at the close were
confident that Monday would see the turn
for the better. AS for the receipts on
Monday, no one pretended to know how
heavy they will run. but Friday and Sat

ing influence for this week.

She maintains that she was justified
in shooting, and that it was not rob-

not planned. The sheriff, after his in
