CROP REPORTS ARE BETTER

Chicago, August follower cables, fa- vorable weather for the new crop in the northwest and bearish statistics caused weakness in the local wheat market so- day, the September delivery closing ar a net loss of 11sc. Corn was 7sc higher Oats were up Ac, and provisions closed 21sQ to 10c lower.
 The wheat market was weak from start to finish, and the volume of trade was large. Selling was generally together the greater part of the day and the market lacked substantial support. News of the day was favorable to the bears Cables were weak, weekly statistics were bearish, weather conditions in the northwest were favorable to maturing of the new crop, and the primary movement was liberal. Total receipts at all primary points were 1,135,000 bushels. News from the north west regarding injuries to the new crop by rust was much less alarming, and this tended to increase offerings of wheat here. The market closed weak, Septem- Der opened AQ9sc to ssQ1ac lower, at 94SQ94asc, sold off to 93Ac and closed at s3ssq931ac Clearances of wheat and flour

 Additional rains in various sections of the corn belt had a weakening effect on the corn market early in the day, but to- ward tha middle of tha sassiop tha mar ket became strong on active demand for the December delivery by elevator in- terests and on buying of September by shorts. The strength was well man. tained the balance of the day. Continued light receipts were the chief bullish fac- tor. The market closed firm, September opened @1ac lower, at 76@764c, advanced to 7Sc, and closed at T2sc.
 Local receipts were Al cars, with 2s of contract grade.
 Oats opened tri1e easy because of the weakness of wh eat and corn, but the market soon rallied on buying by pit traders who based their actions on crop damage reports. An estimate of APO cars as tomorrow's arrivals here tended to check bullish sentiment. Sep tember opened a shade lower at 48c, advanced to 4SAc and closed at ASIA co 4Ss Local receipts were 233 cars.
 Provisions were firm at the outset owing to a 10c advance in live hogs, but weakened later on scattered real izing. At the close September pork was off 10c at S15.371a. Lard was down 2 # e Dc. at s9.45@9. 9.471ac, and ribs were 2h O Dc lower, at s8.S5.

lar movements in stocks of more sub stance. Moreover, the movement was heralded in more than one case by wide- spread tips circulated throughout the financial district. These tips were some times the only apparent cause for rise in prices. The news of the crops was reassuring and indicated that damage was short of the actual disaster which was depicted in some of last weeks excited rumors.
 More definite details of the Pillsbury- Washburn company trouble left less room for alarm than the uncertain rumors re- garding it, which unsettled the market on Saturday.
 Copper advanced again here and in Lon don. Germany and Austria secured the London supply of gold this week, Paris having withdrawn with it's requirements.

SHARP SLUMP IN
 COTTON MARKET Bear Pressure Is Too Strsng
 and Prices Tumble WEATHER IS MAIN FACTOR At the Opening Bears Begin To Offer Sales Heavily and Continue
 Throughout Session, Market
 Closing at Sharp Loss.
WEATHER IS MAIN FACTOR

New York, August 10.-The cotton mar Set was very weak and unsettled today, with October contracts experiencing a sen- satienal decline under general liquidation and bear pressure. The close was easy at a net loss of IS to 31 points. Sales were estimated at 25O,O0O hales.
 The market opened steady at an advance of points on August, which was infiu- enced by little covering in absence of offerings, but the general list was to I net lower, owing to easy cables. good weather and favorable crop accounts. At the beginning, the chief selling seemed to be for the account of local bears who operated aggressively, but on a scale down offerings became more general and vailed that small bulls were throwing over their cotton. The market became very weak and October sold off to 9.33, or 31 points net lower and 52 points under the high lever of last Friday
 Later months declined also, with prices showing a net loss of F to 20 points. and closing within a point of the lowest August was comparatively quiet and at the close was only IS points net lower Expectations of weakness in southern spot markets with the approach of the mar keting season under favorable crop condi- tions were undoubtedly influential in the decline, and there was considerable south ern selling through commission houses during the day.

OUTSIDE DEMAND IS GOOD

New York, August 10.-The tone of the stock market was nervous all day, but the sweep of the broadened demand was sufficient to dominate the upward course of prices in spite of some setbacks and some obstacles opposed. Within an hour after the opening there was break in prices that approached in violence that of last Friday. The same stocks, Amer ican Smelling and National Lead, were conspicuous features of the break, which was supposed to be due to phase of a sensational advertising campaign to att tract speculative interest in the market now being waged by Boston movement. The fervor of the appeals offered to the trading public to come into the market and make their fortunes was supposed to be taken advantage of in timely manner for heavy unloading on this ac- count. The heavy selling, was otherwise attributed to the account of professional operators who timed 1t with the morn ing's advertisements from Boston on the theory that previous similar outbreaks had marked the continuation of a rising movement in prices.
  tributed the shakedown to the financial powers which have conducted the present movement from it's inception, the object being to convey a warning against an unruly precipitancy in the bull move ment calculated to alarm the public rather than to attract it. There was noticeable increase in buying orders from outside sources to commission houses through the mail and by wire. The vol ume of these miscellaneous orders was larger than on any Monday since the rise set in. The market was rendered rather feverish by the influx, many of the orders being for execution "at the market" without specifying fixed price. Professional traders are quick to detect such a state of affairs, and will bid up prices boldly to get the benefit of these unlimited orders
 The day was notable for the tumher of unusually dormant stocks which were wakened into activity. As some of these were obscure, low-grade stocks they were of less sympathetic effect in strengthening the general list than simi-

Hubbard ercs. & Co.'S Letter.

New York, August 10.-(Special) )-Con- tinued good weather throughout the cot ton belt, together with good accounts from correspondents now travelling in Texas of the crop there caused a decline in Liverpool. At the opening there was some pressure to sell October, which fin ally resulted in 8 sharp decline of about 30 points on that position. The selling seemed to come from those who had bought on the knowledge of the large holdings of the bull pool, and it was not believed that the larger holdings had been sold.
 Crop accounts are so good and re- ceipts large that 1t is difficult for the trade to believe that the market can be sustained without sharp demand from the spinners, who at the moment do not appear as at all interested in securing cotton for forward shipment.

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, August 10.-Cotton spots were easy, 1sc down on all grades mio- ding 10lzc sales were 140 bales on the spot and to arrive.
 Futures arrived barely steady with the active months to points below the close Saturday. The decline was attrib- -uted to an easier market at Liverpool than had been expected, generally favora- l. ble conditions throughout the belt over Sunday and a forecast for the next 24 hours of good weather in the cotton states. A favorable government weekly weather report tomorrow Is anticipated by the trade, and indications point to a continuation of the present conditions.
 Considering the number and strength of the bearish factors. the market ruled fairly steady at the decline during the greater part of the session. That there was not a decided break in futures was due largely to shorts in the northern mar kets, and their strenuous efforts to keen the market up.
 It was the opening day of the week. and the beginning of this period was marked by a volume of good crop reports from throughout the belt which conformed with those of a New Orleans authority published this morning. The consequence was that the market started slowly on it's downward course at the first call and continued to the heavy close, which was quiet with the active months 22 to 2S points below the close Saturday
