NEW YORK, Aug. 14-The specula-
tive forces which developed in last
for a rush with the opening of the week
which swept the whole of the early
market to a higher level of prices. The
very large selling to take profit which
the market had to encounter had in
creasing effect as the day progressed
and gave the later market some APP
pearance Of WEAKNESS, but there was
no mtstaking the increased force of the
miscellaneous outside demand coming
from various sources through commits
sion houses which made itself manifest
IN the accumulation Of large buying or.
ders over Sunday The sufficiency of
this new demand to absorb the large
selling to take profits was matter for
satisfaction to the advocates of an ad-
The quietness of the later demand,
however, showed that the accumulated
orders at the opening were not fol-
lowed up in equal volume. The profess
sional element was left rather obvious
ly to take the matter in hand again.
This they did by the renewal of last
weeks tactics.
The days dealings were based on the
general considerations which were al
ready making themselves felt last week.
Principal of these is the crop outlook
as defined by last weeks government
report. Day day reports of weather
conditions keep up the feeling of conf
dence in the prospective outcome of the
Railroad officials, in the customary
weekly reviews published today, spoke
of the widening effect through all lines
of business of the cheerful outlook over
the crops, and indulged in some very
roseate views of the prospective rail-
road earnings for the new fiscal year.
Raw copper had another advance, and
the favorable reports from the iron and
steel trade showed an unchanged tenor
A good effect was produced by the re-
port that the dispute over freight rates
on certain articles as between the At
lantic and the gulf lines had been set
tied and the cutting of rates done away
with.
The progress of the Portsmouth peace
conference was felt to promise we'll.
Some attention was given to assertions
that American bankers were being
sounded with a view of sharing In a
Russian loan. The flotation of a Rus
sian loan somewhere is regarded as
necessary consequence of peace treaty,
and the distributive effect in all the
worlds markets of such a flotation
leaves the question of the point chosen
rather secondary so far as the effect
on the money markets is concerned
Stocks made substantial recovery
late in the day, the corn grangers
again leading with the persistence of
selling to realize, making the closing
irregular.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales,
par value $5,630,000
United States bonds were all un-
changed on call.

Has Yellow Fever.

>S.ecial to Times Republican.
Fort Dodge, April 10.-Word received
this morning by relatives in BIT. Dodge
from Leonard Hopkins. says that he is
now on the Isthmlls of Panama, and
is very i'll with yellow fever, 1t being
feared that he will not survive the ILL
ness.
1t will be recalled to memory that
about Christmas of last year, it was
reported that the body of a young
man, supposedly Mr.. Hopkins, was
found in San Francisco, and the APP
pearance of the remains led to the
belief that he had been murdered. The
Chronicle later learned that the young
man who was killed in San Francisco
was not Leonard Hopkins. as he had
left the city a few weeks before that
occurrence and had gone to Panama,
where he has since been employed.
The unpleasant conditions existing
on the isthmus are causing consider
able illness, and but few who contract
yellow fever recover. Mr.. Hopkins is.
however, receiving the best Of care
and medical treatment. His relatives
here are anxiously awaiting further
news from him.
