 ly sentiment, in the market was strongly bullish. The opening quotations were cas- fer because of realizing sales and on some selling by shorts. offerings soon became scarce however. and prices stiffsned a good demand. Attempts to realize on the bulge brought out the greater part of the early bought wheat and the market broke again.
 Damage reports from the west and the northwest were numerous. but they were of a contradictory character. Definite inform ation was at premium, On all breaks the market was given substantial support The demand for cash grain was good and prices were fairly strong.
 September wheat opened M @hc lower at sshe to sshc. sold betweens ssHc and soc and closed firm at soc.
 The corn market about as nervous as wheat The opening was easy on selling by pit traders and commission houses which was based upon better weather for the Northwest. There were occasional breaks on realizing sales but the market generally was strong.
 September corn opened Kc to Ac lower at 57Ac to Nc, sold between Ssc and 50 Nc and closed strong at the latter figures. Trading fin oats was much less in volume than in wheat and there was a larger amount of cash oats offered than for sey- eral days past.
 September oats opened xc higher at Sc, sold between 5ohc and 5t sc and closed at c0Ac.
 A better run of hogs and fair speoula- tive demand in the January options caused firm market in provisions. The opinion of many speeulators was that higher prices for corn must soon bring an advance in pork. At the close September pork was 15c higher at SIS. 10, Lard was up + V5e at 9.o5@$9. o7h.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Aug. 24,~-with a holiday in London the local market had to find" it. self. This It did by broad and strong open ing in which prices for many of the active issues advanced from one to two points, sentiment was very favorably affected by the plan of the treasury department to ease the money situation during the coming crop movement period. There were other favor- able developments. including the state ments of the commercial agencies which re- ported continuance of business in good volume. Yet. another encouraging factor was & further decline in forcing exchange which materially reduced the prospects of further gold exports in the near future
 Not all of the days news was encourag- ing, however, which from the principal in dustrial centers were rather conflicting, though the more reliable reports bespoke increasing quiet in iron and steel and the kindred trades.
 There were persistent rumors also of an other decline in the price of copper metal. An infallible barometer of general trade conditions was the decrease of twenty per cent. in bank clearings throughout the country compared with the same week last gear.
 Following the first flush of enthusiasm, the market became dull with recessions of a|point. Before the end of the first hour all the opening gains were lost, while many stocks were below last nights closing quotations.
 Southern Railroad preferred. which caused yesterdays heavy selling movement the cut in dividend fell two and one-haif points and some of the specalties suffered more severely.
 The market developed a stronger tone on the bank exhibit which showed loan contraction of over $s,000,00o and cash loss of about s2.1O0,0o0 This lefts the legal reserves of the banks at ss,97s.oo0, as against S9.274,000 the preceding week and s4,2s0, 900 for the same week last year

An area of moderately high barometer central over the north slope of the Rockiesh is giving generally fair weather west of the Mississip- pi with somewhat cooler than same hour yesterday In the middle Northwest, but an area of low moving in oyer Washington is causing unsettled weather in the extreme Northwest.

close of last season and about 1a44o.ooO marketed to date).
 Actual consumption, however. by reason of MT Ellison. whose figures will be ac- cepted European consumption, having made mill stocks in Europe on August 1st, 669.oo0 larger than last year, the major portion of which Is American will probably be about 12.s0O.0oo vs l2,lss.ooo last sea son.
 It is to be doubted that mill stocks abroad are really as large as they are reported to be. although 1t may be that the large in crease in the numer of foreign cotton mills has served to make hogs larger in the grand total. while the old mills possess little if any more cotton than they held at this time one year ago. That there is more machin- cry in operation in the old world than ever before. and with every promise of 1t being kept running to its full capacity owing po stocks of cotton goods having been reduced considerably at distributing points in China is indicated by the returns of Mir Ellison for the months of June and July, whereby for the same period of one year ago, show ing consumption of the last quarter of the current season to have been the heaviest of the season and larger than last year by & 900 per week. Therefore, there is only one inference to be drawn from these facts. and this is that present indications are that the world will increase consumption of cotton next season to such an extent as to do away with 13,000, 900 bales of cotton pro- viding it can be had from the growing crop and surplus on hand September 1st. because at the rate of 5000 increase in consumption of all kinds per week for the 52 weeks of next season. there would be an increase of 4I6 900 for Europe alone two-thirds of which would probably be American.
 As for the outlook in the United States. conditions could hardly be more promising. the howls of the calamityites. notwithstand- ing The ever influx of immigration will tax the American mills. as will the Oriental demand to their very maximum output. the aggregate immigration for the seven months of the calendar year figuring S4l.000 vs. 7ss,0o0 last year. which ration makes it possible for the United States to celebrate the opening of the Panama Canal with 100. .o00, 900 people.
 Thirteen cents for October next week is looked upon as probability.
