WALL STREET. REVIEW
SPECULATION IS DEVOTED LAhGEhf
 TO SPECIALTIES.
That the Manipulation Was Not Notapis Effec1iye I'd shown by the Small List of Changes
 for the Day.

NEW YORK. August 1o.-speculation In stocks was largely devoted to Wnat are known as specialties. The constant wn,p ping up of excitement and activity in one or another of these afforded the principai sustaining influence on the general nst' Ihat this influence was not notaoiy efIec- tive Is disclosed by the list Of changes TOT the day, which were comparatively insis- nificant. The waiting attitude of the mar ket was probably due to the desire to read the monthly report of the Agricultural De- partment on the August condition Of the grain crops. and especially spring wheat before venturinE extensive commitments n stocks The grain market reflected the importance attached to the Government re- port in the nervousness exhibited by spec ulators committed in that market and their desire to Tighten their contracts before the report should appear. The realizing which carried back the prices of wheat was largely attributed to this purpose although the weather in the spring wheat country was considered better. Stocks derived sorne firIHsess from this view.
 Where was continued belief in the dif- ticuisy experienced in the steel trade over the maintenance of Association prices, as was shown by the persistence with which United States Steel preferred hung below last nights price in face Of the firmness or other stocks. Good advances were made oy Southwestern railroad stocks. which were fairly attributable to the comparative prosperity of the cotton and corn crops compared with wheat. The rise in Southern Pacific was impressive to sentiment because
 
 towards the market of its controllers. The conviction became firmer that gold would ne exported to England this week. as ster- ling exchange continued to advance and the London market rallied on the same assur- snce. But the real interest of the day cen- tered In the furious speculation in the spe- ctalties The sensational advance in the Metropolitan stocks was accompanied by much published quotations from influential but unnamed individuals. who were impress sive in their admissions that important transactions were pending but entirely re- ticent as to specific information of what the developments would be. This is the kind Of movement that appeals with especial force to the speculative imagination and the trading element threw themselves into the movement with great relish. The days movements in Sugar and Amalgamatcd Cop per were equally mysterious as to their basis. These advances were not fully held at the close and the whole market under went some reaction. but the closing was active and form.
 Bonds were firm. Total sales par value. s2.9eo.ooo. United States bonds were un- changed on call.

 CHICAGO GRAIN AND PR0vIslONs.
 CHICAGO. August 1o.--Builish enthusi- succumbed to conservation in the wheat pit today. September wheat at the shade down. Oats netted 6 gain of hc. Provisions are off 2h@5c.
 News from the Northwest continued to be a factor in the wheat market, but ap- of wheat traders. There was no panic, no sharp break. no reversal of advices but apparently general disposition to await conditions. In the uncertainty manifested at the opening September wheat scored . loss of h@Hc. initial sales ranging from taken advantage of the high prices of the past few days saw much of danger in the new sentiment and seized the opportunity to unload. inducing prices to descend to . lower level, September going to LOOK under the selling pressure. Professional buying rallied the market on the break. to a rumor that the Government report would show an enormous decrease from last years fgures Under this leadership, shorts gained new courage ana for time days seemed to have revived. September responded with a bulge to 1.02 before the fever abated. There was plenty Of wheat to be had at that figure. In consequence a gradual recession ensued to 00k 6l .0oh under the opening price. Shorts and others alert to buy at the lower figures. steadied the market and carried the price back to 1.01 for September. at which figure it closed C1earances of wheat and flour were equal to 2a1,600 bushels; primary receipts were s06. 800 bushels. compared with 551,- 300 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 1ss cars. against 221 last year.
 Corn values held up well considering the uncertainty in wheat selling over an irregu- lar range. but with a general inclination to weakness. September at the start was off If a Sc to < a Nc at 57H G53. A lively up- turn followed the advance in wheat, the im- proved tone being helped some by reports of cool. wet weather and by small receipts. September buisej to 5+N, but declined to 53h, the closing figure. on heavy realis- ing sales. The tone at the close was easy. Local receipts were 105 cars.
 Oats were firm and active. Shorts were apparently restless over smaller receipts and supported tho market. September ranged between 33M and B. closing firm at 33N. Local receipts were 240 cars.
 Trade in provisions was dull and lacked speculative incentive Under some pressure to sell. September pork made a net loss of 22h a 25c at 12.1b. Lard was down 1oc at 6.67h. Ribs closed 2hc lower at 7.57h@ 7.6o.

VIRGIN S FAUNcE's COTTON LETTER.

(By Private Wire from J. W. Labaree Col
 NEW YORK, August 1o.-In spite of the easier cables from Liverpool, good crop news and generally favorable weather. the cotton market opened strong this morning on the renewed covering of shorts. The report of too much rain in the Mississippi valley, which. if continued, would probably cause some damage to the crop. the incentive to the bull houses with PhiladeI- phia connections who bought September and traders bought moderately of Decem- Der. The most of the buying. however, was by belated shorts. Spinners have entirely withdrawn from the market on the recent bulge. there is no inducement for them to enter the market, as buyers of, cotton in any quantity as long the prospect of large crop Is good The dry goods trade continues poor and the present price of cotton Is too high in proportion to the amount of cotton In sight Comparing this year with other years. when cotton sold on a seven-cent basis with an II 900 900 bale crop. the staple is today selling on a g% cent basis with estimated crop of over 12,500.000 bales In sight. It Is reasonable therefore. to look for lower prices for cot and even if the yield would be reduced a few hundred thousand bales by time the price would still be too high when corn pared to former yields. and a better demand than Is seen at present. We are bearish on cotton and look for considerably lower prices within the next two weeks Advan- tage should be taken of the present bulge to sell cotton freely.

 NEW ORLEANS, August 10.-Cotton showed a slight improvement today. The Liverpool market offered nothing of inter est, fluctuations were confined to narrow limits and although early prices evidenced declines in excess of expectations. a recov- cry before the close about adjusted the GUS tomary parties In the net result. new crop options declined to points and spots lost points on sales of 5000 bales. Manchester market for cloths and yarns was dull.
 Our opening prices were influenced en- tirely by the weather, a continuance of rains in the central and eastern belts was shown by the map and although the amount of precipitation varied considerably at diff ferent points. an excess was general in that section. Prevailing cloudiness and fore casts indicated that similar conditions would prevail tomorrow. As a result of these conditions, initial transactions In new crop options made at a moderate ad- vance, but the apparent steadness at the higher levels was of short duration, weak ness following the efforts of manipulators to dispose of some long cotton and result ing in recessions in excess of the early gains. Later in the session prices recov- cred and steady market was observed with

NEW ORLEANS COTTON.

NEW ORLEANS, August 1o.-The spot cotton market was quiet but steady. Prices were somewhat easier to sell but the off cial quotations unchanged. Sales, 325 bales
 Futures opened steady with prices 4@e points higher. The weather map showed rains well distributed the belt. The Atlantic States send in some reports of damage by rain. and Texas complained of more boil worm and weevi damage than it has for days. The wet weather was said to have caused insects to increase rapidly. The most buliish feature of the day came from Galveston to the effect that the move- ment would not be heavy as during August. The bulls did not attempt to make much capital out of these reports or at least, they made determined at tempt to send prices higher. This led to the conviction that the bullish information sent out merely for the purpose of sus- taining prices while the New York bulls did some very clever unloading.
 In the trading September opened points up at g SC. sold up to g. s9 and declined to 9.s5. The market closed steady. August lost net points. while the other positions gained 3Q5 points.
