MANY STOCKS ARE ACTIVE
By THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York, August 29.-Stocks closed buoyant today under leadership of Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Steel pre- ferred. All of these made new high records for the year and Southern Pa cific once more sold at its highest price. The Hartman people are making good their promise to lead the market with Southern Pacific and they promised also that 1t shall touch 125 in the present campaign and that Union Pacific shall touch 175. The same people are talk ing 200 for Consolidated Gas. Those fig ures are given not as tips on the mar let but as matter of news to show just how confident the Standard Oil peo- pie seem to be and how daring are their operations.
 Nothing of news importance developed today to account for the advance of the market. The bank statement showed A large gain in surplus reserves and the London market was very strong in the American department
 On the curb market Cobalt stocks were very active with investments being shift ed from Nipissing to Larose and Cobalt control. Other active stocks on the curb were Nevada Consolidated, Cumberland Ely and Bay State Gas
 Cotton was very steady, fuctuating only about 30 cents bale.
 The Livermore corner seems to be a thing of the past. Grain was strong.

PRICES VERY UNSETTLED

New York, August 29.-The cotton mar ket opened steady at an advance of Is points on August and 5q6 points on later months in response to better cables than expected and covering for over the week. end, and the government report, which is expected on Tuesday. There seemed, however, to be no important support in the market, and after the active months had sold about points, net higher the market became unsettled and irregular under selling by brokers, who were be- lieved to be operating for one of the old Wall street bulls.
 The talent expressed less bearish con fidence than usual, despite the ease with which an early session price gain was lost, and fewer operators favored short selling than for very long time. On the whole, traders are bearlsh because trade is poor and because there Is now little or no chance for organized bullish effort. On the other hand, many recent ly active and enthusiastic bears do not now care to sell contracts because of the heavy declines and the heavy discounts at which futures changing hands un- der spots. The position of August deliv- cries, while a generally depressing in- fluence, can not affect the ultimate mar ket for raw cotton supplies except in so far as sentiment and demonstration of the helplessness of the bull party may influence the programme planned by the farmer.
 Crop news, showing deterioration and insect and storm damage, apparently at tracts very little attention these days, since the average trader is dominated by the belief that enough cotton to meet all requirements is a foregone conclusion Probably the bears have made little al- lowance for trade revival, and it is well within the probable that many an opera tor has been unduly influenced in his crop expectations by the heavy curtailment in the demand for forward shipments for consumers account. But in the last anal ysis the relation of demand to supply will govern the course of the market un- til accurate knowledge as to the size of the crop and some definite information as to the character of the years trade are forthcoming. Under the belief that values are low enough for the present, the bears may refuse to sell cotton down, but it is hardly to be expected that active buy ing for near future rise will develop under present conditions.
 The market closed steady, with prices net 4011 points higher.
 Receipts at the ports today 11,O00 bales, against 6767 last week. and 4592 last year. For the week 100000 bales, against 71, 496 last week and 4S,022 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans 37O bales against 446 last year, and at Houston 6620 bales, against 400 last year.

WHEAT DECLINES
 ON FREE SELLING Opening of Market Is Weak
 With Quiet Trading SMALL GAIN IN STOCKS Slump In Wheat Induces Selling In Corn Market and Prices Gradually
 Decline-oats Weak and
 Provisions Firm.
SMALL GAIN IN STOCKS

Chicago. August 29.-wheat prices on the local exchange declined nearly 1c today as a result of liberal sales by prominent longs. The market closed weak at almost the bottom. Corn and oats were affected by the break in wheat and closed weak. Provisions, however, were steady.
 The wheat market opened rather weak at declines of 1sc to A@ssc, compared with the previous close. Initial quotations on December were at 947sQ95c. Moderate sales by pit traders based chiefly on a decline of Esd at Liverpool were respon- Trade during the first hour was quiet and prices held quite steady around the open ing figures. Toward the middle of the day, however, two leading holders began to dump large quantities of wheat into the pit. and this started more or less general selling, which resulted in further declines. The total sales of one of these large holders was estimated at more than 100000 bushels, part of which 1t was claimed was for short account. The low point for December was reached at 94asc. Some export business was reported as having developed on the break. The premiums on cash wheat were a trihe easier, but only few sales were re- ported. At Minneapolis there was a good milling demand for the cash grain, and big sales of flour were said to have been made.
 For the first time in several weeks
 
 Minneapolis, and 1t was thought the in- crease would be materially augmented next week owing to more liberal receipts of new wheat. The market continued weak all day, and closed at net declines of 5sc to %@%c, with December at 941ac. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 600 bushels. Primary receipts were S70,000 bushels, compared with 6940 eco bushels the corresponding day a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 502 cars, against sos last week and 329 year ago.
 The slump in wheat and rains in sec- tions of Illinois and Iowa prompted con- siderable selling of corn, which resulted in a weak market all day. Reports from the country indicated some increase in offerings and as a result the prices were from Ac to s4c lower. The market closed weak and near the low point at declines of 1kQ%c. Local receipts were 300 cars. with 91 of contract grade.
 Oats were weak Tn sympathy with wheat and corn. Local longs were mod crate sellers. and there was also some selling by northwestern interests Prices at the sample tables were about hc lower The market closed weak, with prices off 1k@5sc to 9sc. Local receipts were 269 cars.
 Provisions were firm early in the day, owing to 5c advance in live hogs, but weakened a trihe following the decline in grains. The close was steady, with prices unchanged to Dc lower.
 Ieadinp futures ranged as follows:

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, August 29.-(Special.)- After the sharp liquidation of last week the trade is looking forward to reac- tion from the low point and this ap- pears to be the dominant feature in all the mark cts. It Is based upon the ox- pectation that the bureau report will show deterioration on Tuesday while spinners are expected to buy rather more freely after September 1. A hasty complication of the statistical position would show the consumption for the past season was about 12,350 900 bales of American cotton. This estimate Is of course subject to many corrections being made from the running stocks
 but 1t gives an approximate idea of what was used by the spindles. Liver pool is expected to be two points bet ter on Monday,
