Bearish sentiment was dominant in the
wheat pit throughout the entire session
NotWithstanding a decrease OF 2.S26pO
bushels In the amount Of wheat on passage,
the market opened weak with September
down isaAsc at S3lzc to S34sc. The prin-
cipal factor responsible for the depression
was clear weather generally throughout
Minnesota, but practically no precipitation
over. the weather bureau foreCasted con-
tinuance Of favorable conditions during the
next twenty-four hours. News from the
wheat fields OF the northwest was Of a
most reassuring character for the bears
Reports from Minneapolis indicated that
the crop was maturing rapidly In the north
ern districts, while in the southern sections
harvesting was making great headway
Practically nothing Of Importance was

the first hour and as a result the price

Excellent weather for the growing corn
crop was reflected In n weak market for
that cereal. The outlook for an enormous

certain from day to dav. One authority

NEW YORK STOCESAy BONDS
Imposing Show Of Strength Resulted from
the Days Trading,
NEWS GENERALLY FAVORABLE TO VALUES
Large Orders for steel Products,
Heavy Railway Tramc and Crop
Conditions Contribute to
Advance.

NEW YORK, Aug. An imposing show
OF strength resulted from todays trading
IN stocks. A study OF the list In detail
reveals that the market was somewhat
narrow and restricted in spite of general
appearance Of strength. The inertia OF
stocks was a striking feature Of the mar
ket which is only fully perCeptible how
ever by considering what was not done in
the trading as well as what was achieved.
The closing Of the London stock ex-
change for a holiday and the continued
the stock exchange membership here are
FACTORS IN the comparative dullness OF the
market. These qualifying considerations
striking advances were accomplished dur
ing the day. The buying which caused
these was concentrated upon the special
ties to a conspicuoIs extent in the same
way that the market Of last week was
affected. The motives for the demand
the general conditions. The news OF the
day was pretty favorable in its general
tenor and covered crop conditions and %
demand for anthracite, large orders for
all classes of steel products and sustained
ease in the money market Reports were
placed for iron and steel products, some
of the mills refusing as 1t was said to con-
late In the year or next year as they are
already OverCrOwded with work. The iron
and steel industrials gave evidence of or
! ganlzed support and moved as though a
speculative party had embarked In a cam
paign for higher prices.
Railroad traffic officials were quite unani-
nous In reporting a volume Of traffic which
was fast absorbing the greatly expanded
equipment facilities which have been added
by all the great railroad systems in the
last few months. The action Of the mar
ket was due in no small part however to
the maturing Of the conviction that the
country's grain crops are practically as
sured and that they will prove large.
Saturdays unfayorable bank statement
was subjects of discussion but the sus-
tained ease Of the money market soothes
all spprehensions based on possible future
! developments. There was some profit TAX
| ing late in the day but prices recovered
again and the closing was strong and quite
active.
The movement of prices in the general
! bond list was slightly irregular but mostly
| strong. Total sales, par value, Al82OO.
| u. 8. bonds were all unchanged on call.
The following was the range of prices

Ceived There were only about thirty-slN
cars on sale. hardly enough to make mar
ket Chicago. with 5000 hogs, was quoted
shade lower. but this had no effect on
prices here. Everybody was out early and
the hogs were all picked up before 10
clock. Prices ruled generally 2a65c
higher. with trading brisk. The bulk Of the
hogs sold at S.77taa6.So. with the long
string at the latter figure. Tops today

for a good market this week are favorable.
