THE GRAIN MARKETS.

CHICAGO, August 29.-Wheat prices on
the local exchange declined nearly 1 cent
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, how
ever were steady.
The wheat market opened rather weak
at declines Of u to Aaat compared with
the previous close. Initial quotations on
December were at 94K to 95. Moderate
sales by pit traders. based chiefly on a
decline of SD at Liverpool. were re-
sponsible for the heavy tone at the
start. Trade during the first hour was
quiet and prices held quite steady
around the opening 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 were estimated at more than
600. 600 bushels. part of which II was
claimed, was for short accounts. The low
point for December was reached at 94as
Some export business was reported as
having developed on the break. The
premiums on cash wheat were trifie
easier. but only a few sales were re-
ported. At Minneapolis thare was
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
there was a small increase In stocks at
Minneapolis. and 1t was thought the in
crease would be materially augmented
next week. owing to the more liberal re-
ceipts Of new wheat.
The market continued weak all day
and closed at net declines Of Nan with
December at 94h. Clearances Of wheat
and flour were equal to $4,000 bushels
Primary receipts were $4,000 bushels
responding day a year ago. Minneapolis
Duluth and Chicago reported receipts Of
JO2 cars against 3O6 last week and 800
year ago.
The slump in wheat and rains in Sec
tons Of Illinois and Iowa prompted con-
in a weak market all day. Reports
from the country indicated some in
crease in offerings, and as a result Of
this cash prices were from u to z
lower. The market closed weak and
near the low point at declines Of haK
Of contract grade.
Oats were weak In sympathy with
wheat and corn. Local longs were mod
crate sellers and there was also some
selling In the northwestern interests
Prices at the sample tables were about
prices OF 1aass to V. Local receipts were

NEW YORK, August 29.-Although
market views seemed rather divergent this
NOR ming. another urgent covering move
merit by the shorts brought about a re-
sumption Of yesterdays buying operations
and all the leading issues moved upward.
Sous hern Pacific common maintained its
recent reputation by establishing a new
higf, record. while Union Pacific sold
aboTe its recent high price. The move
menf in the Harrimans seemed to carry
along the balance Of the list.
There was no little selling for profits,
but this made only a slight impression,
the market closing active and strong at
practically the days best quotations. To-
days market would indicate that virtual
ly AL Of the early weeks short interest
has oeen wiped out and that traders are
now almost solidly arrayed on the bull
side.
There were no important news develop
ments during the day, but rumor was
again busy with the story Of closer Har-
riman-Gould relations. The annual re-
port of the Reading company showed a
decrease in net by the railway of $432. 600.
while, the coal company reported falling
off OF $4,000. Canadian Pacific for July
SHOWED net loss of $780,
Railway Statement.
A computation made by the Financial
Chronicle of eighty-nine railroads for June
reports an average net loss Of 9.39 per
cent; While almost every road made
heavy gross losses. the net decrease was
greatly diminished by reason Of the dras-
tic methods employed to cut down ex-
pensea.
The: bank statement was slightly mixed
and seemed to reflect the shifting of &C
counts that may have been made neces-
sary ny reason of the weeks unusual con-

The Bryan of 1858 is not the Bryan
Of 1896 and Of 1900. Then he was
young. impetuous, intrepid, daring.
Now he is cautious, conservative, mys-
FERROUS, polite. Then he rushed forth
to battle in the glamour and glory OF
moral hero. Now he is inclined TO
''look before he leaps" to weigh the
chances of his action, to trim his sails
to every passing breeze.
And we are gravely assured that the
new Bryan is safer and sanes thLn the
old.
We do not see how this can possibly
be. The Bryan Of dozen years ago
was an earnest reformer. Today he is
a political trimmer. Then he was po-
Iitically honest, now he is at least under
suspicion. He has made his peace with
every political tricks.er and gangster
in the democratic party. He has not
repudiated single one of his political
vagaries, but, for the exigencies of the
campaign, he has gracefully side
stepped on all the issues he has found
are obnoxious to "the people" He has
thrown principle to the winds, and is
playing politics.
He is no longer the moral hero of a
new reformation, but the political lead
er of spoils party. The old chieftain,
honest though wrong, was far more to
be trusted and desired than the new
standard bearer who is politically both
dishonest and wrong. Exchange.
