EXCITEMENT u. S. CROP REPORT
Had Bullish Effect On Grain Markets
Yesterday-Csused Advances
at the Close

Chicago, Aug. 7.-WHEAT.- The
go, ernment report for August had a
buliish effect on the local grain mar
Ikets. The report showed the condi-
ftion for August /, and was issued fl
teen minutes before the end of tne
session and its appearance was fol-
tlCwed by sharp rally which sarried
prices from IN to az above the low
points of the day According TO Off
cial statistics the condition of the
ispring sown crop deteriorated 81 per
cent during the month of July owing
to the excessively high temperature
lin the northwest and injury by black
trust. The condition is placed at S0.7
compared with S9.4 month agc.
Prior to the report the sentiment was
inclined to be bearish on cooler wea.
tber in the northwest and weak cables
In the final few minutes liberal real
izine caused considerable reaction
from the top but the close was strong

early but before the end of the first
hour active buying by shorts resulted

bullisE sentiment became more pro.
nounced as a result of the govern
ment report which showed a deterio
ration in the condition of the crop of
only three-tenths of one per cent dur

that the deterioration since the re,

more severe. The close was firm

In Speculative Quarters Prevailed in
Yesterdays Stock Market
Prices FIuctuated Violently.

New York Aug 1T was a day Of
speculative excitement in the stocl
market and there were violent and
erratic price fluctuations. The bull
| movement started on its way pros
lperously and reached a new high
stage of prices for the year with great
animation In dealings. The market
was the largest in volume OF the pres
ent year, the number of shares which
changed hands rising to million:

lrise The distress of the short inter.
tests in American Smelling and in

course OF the day and the disposition
to punish them seemed SO ruthless
that the speculative temper became
discomposed and a heavy unloading
of speculative accounts was precip-
tated. The bears CHANGED to regain
the advantage and raided prices down
wards in quest of stop-loss orders.
The two Guggenheim stocks were
conspicuous features from the outset
by reason of the late bulges yester-
day. When IA points had been adj

American Smelling and jumps of

disorder resulted from this episode in

VERMONT WILL. POINT THE WAY.

The State republican committee has
every reason to be encoure ged over the
outlook for a vigorous campaign In Yer
mont. II was supposed at one time that
our voters were Indifferent to the sub
ject of politics. but 1t Is realized that
MIR. Bryan's program involves the conf
plete unsettling OF values through the
smashing OF the tariff on the free trade
principle. The farmers OF Vermont do
rot want to have their markets spoiled
by the products Of their Canadian neigh
bors; our lumber manufacturers must
rot be forced to move to Canada in or
der to meet new conditions, and our la
other class In having that basis OF val
ues maintained which. alone makes /,
possible for them to receive a scale of
wages far above that paid the cheap for
eign help.
Smash the tariff as Bryan would have
il smashed and at once We are forced
to meet foreign rates. Revise the tar!fi
as Mr.. Taft would have It revised. along
purely protective lines, and we pre-
serve our markets, while at the same
time We deliver to the trusts that blow
which the lamented Mckinley himself
said should be administered by the
friends Of protection.
Vermont will make her voice heard on
the right side on September !. and II
we set the pace for the continued pro-
lection OF American farmers. American
manufacturers and American working
men, We shall speak for tho interests Of
the great majority of American people
and point the way to a glorious victory
throughout the country in November.
