ton of more influential leadership for bear turn in the market, and the at tack on prices became somewhat more aggressive, with a weak closing at the lowest
 The action of the market was att tributed to purely technical causes, and found no explanation in any positive development in the days news. There was, however, a rather striking con trast in some of the views on indus trial affairs that have been heard in the stock market and those that come from strictly trade sources. The com plaint voiced by the leading iron and steel interest over the tardlness of the revival in that industry is an example Today's publication by those authorities was calculated to dash sanguine views over the present stage of improvement, whatever hopes may be maintained of the future. The episode in the outside market was not realized, as a factor likely to discharge any public intere t in the stock market. The performance there has not been equaled since the like incident of the Notation of a min ing stock under the same auspices.
 Some special weakness in the local traction stocks were due to the an- nouncement by the president of the New Haven of the intention of that company to undertake a subway route into lower Connecticut. There was nothing alarming in the days news from the crop regions, although differ ences of opinion are expressed among expert thorities as to the extent of the harm done to corn and spring wheat. Yesterdays and today's suc- cessful auction sale of cotton goods was favorably commented on as an ef- feetive relief Of the congestion whit has grown up in that industry. The sub-treasury continues to make large. contributions to the supply of banking cash, and the level of the interior ex- changes indicates that the customary demand for currency there is tardy in sh owing itself.

FLUCTUATIONS IN SIGHT

New York, August 13.-The cotton mar ket was much less active today with the undertone nervous and small traders in- elined to go cautiously pending some bet ter information as to the extent and char acter of the remaining long interest or some decided change in the spot or crop situation. The close was steady at an ao- vance of points on August, but gener- ally unchanged to points lower with the late positions relatively firm. Sales were estimated at about 175,O0o bales.
 The market opened steady at unchanged prices to a decline of points under scat tered selling, promoted by bearish view of yesterdays sharp break and continued good weather in the south. The LiVerpooi market, however, was a little better than expected, there was no renewal or yes terday's sensational liquidation, and snort ly after the opening the market dld pet'er on covering and moderate buying py reac- tionists After advancing to S.N TOT octo- Der and 9c for January, or 10 to l2 points net higher. offerings increased and the market soon turned easier under re- newal of bear pressure and southern sell ing the latter being Supposeu to iN"NNN the favorable progress of the crop and the approach of the early marketing season. October eased off to sos under this selling, but in the late trading was slightly steadier as a result of covering, and closed at 9.06. There seemed to be some seiilng of October against purchases of Decem- Der, probably for old straddle accounts, which is supposed to explain the relative steadiness of the later positions. The second day of the dry goods auction IS said to have been less satisfactory than yesterday, with prices realized lower and the buying less animated.
 Southern spot markets officially report ed were unchanged to 1sc lower. Re ceipts at the ports today, Ss0 bales, against 3418 last week and 675 last year. For the week, 25,OOO bales, against 2'sS3 last week and ST1 last year. Today's re- oeipts at New Orleans, 422 bales against 33 last year. At Houston, 2lOS bales' against 494 a year ago.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, August 1S.-tSpecial.)- Although the Liverpool market reacted from the low price of yesterday, this market could not sustain the rally which this reaction caused The req son is found in the slow selling by the south of the distant deliveries based on the good crop prospects and the ab sence of demand from spinners With the exception of a portion of the sandy lands of Texas, no section seems to need rain; in fact, the crop accounts are accepted as pointing at the present time to the largest yield on record. Of course, the danger from hot, dry weather Is not yet passed, but it Is passing with each day. In October the trading fell to small proportions as the Wall street operators remained quiet after the sharp fluctuations of yesterday. On the whole the trade was looking for a rally based O. the idea that the south would not sell new re- ceipts freely.

DEMAND MUCH IMPROVED

Chicago, August 13.-Cold weather in business today, forced the price of wheat on the local exchange 1c above the lowest point of the day. The close was at the best figure, the September delivery being up 101hc. Corn closed 1sc up. Oats 1s@ Ac lower Provisions declined 215Q221Ac.
 Strength in wheat was in evidence from the beginning of the trade to the end of the session. A feature of the business was liberal purchases by an influential trader, whose heavy sales yesterday caused the market to slump cents The market was bullishly affected at the start by compara- lively steady cables and by advices from western Canada, claiming that low tenn peratures had prevailed last night throughout Saskatchewan and Manitoba. One report from Winnipeg asserted that ice had formed at several places. Later in the day statistical news encouraged further buying the primary, today being estimates at 32O,0o0 bushels less than those for the corresponding day last year, while total shipments were 30,00O in ex- cess of the days receipts.
 An improved demand by exporters was another important favtor in the situation. September opened 14@2sc higher at s21s@ 9214c to 921sc, and advanced to 931Rc, where it closed.
 Clearances in wheat and flour were equal to SS7,O00 bushels. Minneapolis, Du- luth and Chicago reported receipts of 322 cars, against 415 week ago, and 4S2 last year.
 Strength in wheat, smaller receipts and cooler weather in some parts of the corn belt had a strengthening effect on the corn market, sentiment in the pit being bullish nearly all day.
 The bulk of trade was in the December and May deliveries. The September op- ton, although traded in to a less extent than the distant futures, showed the greatest strength owing to the anxiety of shorts, who covered freely at times. The market closed firm for September and May but easy for December. September opened unchanged at T713c sold at T4c, and then advanced to 7Sc. The close was at 779sc. Local receipts were 1oS cars. with 39 of contract grade.
 Oats opened quiet and weak, owing to general selling by commission houses, but soon rallied in sympathy with the wheat strength. The market held fairly steady the nearer part of the day, but eased off again toward the close, because of de- cline in the price of the cash article. September opened A@9sc lower, at 47@ 47ssc, advanced to 47&c and closed at 47ss@471ac. Local receipts, 194 cars.
 Liquidation of provision was general and the market closed weak several local packers were among the heavy sellers, and there was also free selling by outsiders decline in live hogs was the inspiration back of the sales. At the close, September pork was off 221sc, at $14.971e; lard. 5Q71sc down, at 1925, and ribs were 221ac down, at $S.65
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 2O4 cars; corn, Al; oats, 263; hogs, 10000 head.
