NEW YORK, Aus. l5.-The opening Of tho
stock market was watched with consider
severe decline Of yesterday. Reports that
speculative pools had liquidated heavily
and that important market interests were
selling were Colored TO some extent by the
lack OF support TO special stocks yesterday.
The market abroad. however, showed little
reflection Of the weakness here yesterday,
and after early heaviness rallied so that
when business commenced here the COM
parative changes were slight. This CirCum-
stance had an encouraging effect on the
local speculation, so that first prices were
not altered much from last nights closing,
though the tendency was downward. After
a few minutes, the bulls began to buy eau
tiously, and they met no important pressure

portion Of the list ruling a substantial
traction above yesterdays closing.
American smelting, National Lead. South

demand, the reassuring official statements
regarding the latter roads financial ooliga-
tion having a tonic effect on the list. The
rise, however, soon terminated when the
traders perceived that stocks were being
fed out as fast as the market could take
them. The professionals then ranged them
selves on the short side and hammered the
list theoretically, especially the metal group.

a loss Of nearly three points. the decline
being accelerated by the execution Of large

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Feaures of the Trading and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.

CHICAGO. Aug. I5.-Liberal sales by
holders caused a slump in wheat prices on
the local exchange today, the September
delivery closing at a net loss Of lc. Corn
was off 1tGll4c. Oats were ldllsc lower.
Provisions were 5ql2Iac higher.
The wheat market made a brief show Of
strength at the start, owing TO additional
rains in the northwest. which partially off
set the effect OF the weakness Of foreign
markets. Before the end OF the first hour,
however, prices had started on the dow
grade, as a result of free selling of Decem-
Der by two influential longs. This selling
brought out considerable sales from smaller
holders, and before this decline was checked
prices had dropped from lItqlhc to iSG
l1zc below the high point. A prediction
that the shipment of new wheat from Ne
braska and northern Kansas would begin
within a few days inspired additional bear
ish sentiment. The break in corn also
added to the weakness. The market con-
tinued heavy the balance of the day, and
Der opened sake lower to a shade higher
at 937sc to 94lsc, touched S4Ac and then de-
eSllasd to s5adsSHc. the close was at

ceipts were T5,000 bushels, compared with
$4,000 bushels the corresponding day a
reported receipts of 27 cars, against Isl
cars a week ago and SS7 cars a year ago.
General rains throughout Iowa and other
portions OF the corn belt were the main
reason for a severe slump in corn prices.
The september option was sold freely on
