BETTER TRADE DEMAND

New York, August 12.-While at times irregular the cotton market showed a generally firmer tone today, and had a sharp advance during the afternoon with the close firm at a net gain of 17@20 points. The opening was steady at an ad- vance of 5d9 points on better cables than expected and covering, but there was a renewal of bear pressure in ad- vance, under which prices eased off to within or points of yesterdays close during the first few minutes.
 The market seemed to be attracting a good deal of support, however. Foreign houses were buyers here and there was big demand from some of the people who are credited with having organized for the purpose of preventing break through the Recent level. This buying quickly checked the decline, and after somewhat irregular fluctuations the market became decidedly active and strong on reports of a better trade demand, rumors that southern mills had put through a large business in cotton goods at high prices, renewal of dry weather complaints from Texas, predictions of bullish private con- dition report for the half month and more aggressive bull support.
 At the high point of the day the mar ket showed a net gain of 21@26 points. A rumor that rain was falling at Waco, Tex, prompted realizing during the last few moments, and last prices were 4@5 points off from the best. Some large blocks changed hands here during the afternoon, and one of the prominent features was the uneasiness of October shorts, owing apparently to the reduction in the local stock and the delayed new crop movement.

BEARISH REPORT

 Provisions Firm.
BIG CROP IS IN SIGHT

Chicago, August 12.-The crop report of the Canadian government, which indi- cated a total yield of wheat amounting to approximately 175,OO0,0o0 bushels for that country this year had a depressing effect on the wheat market here today, final quotations showing a net loss of %@7kc to Ac Corn also closed weak. Oats were easy and provisions firm.
 The official report on the wheat crop of canada including Ontaria and Quebec was the chief topic of discussion among trad CTS on the exchange before trading be- gan and as the report showed pros- pective yield far in excess of expecta- tons of the more sanguine, sentiment was decidedly bearish at the opening Taken in conjunction with the crop re- port of this government given out few days ago today's statistics forecasted a total yield for North America amounting to soo.OOo.oOo bushels-by far the largest crop ever harvested in the two countries
 Weakness of foreign markets also helped to create a heavy tone at the start
 As A result of general selling opening quotations were off S@14 to 5sc conl- pared with yesterdays close. As trading progressed, however, a fi>ner tone de- veloped owing to weather conditions in the northwest.
 Rains were reported in many sections of the spring wheat country and the official forecast for Minnesota and the Dakotas called for showers tonight and tomorrow. Bulls took advantage of this possible delay to harvesting and forced prices higher on several occasions dur ing the day. In the final hour, however, the market became weak on liberal real izing. The close was at almost the low est point.
 Beneficial rains in the corn belt had a weakening effect on the corn market, sentiment in the pit being bearsh near ly the entire day. The September de- livery was congested and it's price was forced up about l cent on covering by shorts The upturn in September, how ever, was short lived, the price declining again on fresh selling, based chiefly on Wea sher conditions. The close was weak at net declines of 1aQssc to Bc.
 Oats were inclined to be weak, ow- ing to continued heavy movement of the new crop but delay to harvesting quo to wet weather had a tendency to steady the market A brisk demand for the cash grain also had bullish effect. At the closes prices were unchanged to Ac lower.
 Trade in provisions was fairly active and the market was firm all day. Pack CTS were the leading buyers throughout the day. The buying was inspired by a falling off in hog packing at western cen | ters. A 10c advance in live hogs also l had strengthening influence. Prices al l the close were unchanged to 121sc higher 1 Leading futures ranged as follows:

STOGK MARKET
 IS VERY ACTIVE Sharp Spurt Upward Is Fol-
 lowed By a Relapse PRICES DECLINE SHARPLY
First outburst of Buying Causes Wa niness Among Market Leaders and Soon Prices Turn Down
 and Losses Are Scored.

New York, August 12.-The speculation in stocks took a sudden burst of activ. ity and resulted in frothy upshoot of prices in todays market. The appear ance of these symptoms after such a prolonged advance has taken place. and with prices at as high altitude as the present, aroused the suspicion or operators of the professional class, who are keenly alert for first signs of a reac- ton. The relapse late in the day was sharp. The comparative steadiness Of some important stocks in presence Of volatile movements of others around them was suggestive of a process of distribution going on under cover of the excitement caused by the advances in other quar- aers. In the southern group, which cen tered attraction yesterday, the realizing process was more forcible and caused abrupt reactions and feverish fluctua- tions.
 The conspicuous character of the stocks in which the principal rise occurred and their influential standing as stock mar ket leaders served as effective stimulants to the speculation. With the nearer ap- proach of the average prices of the ac- tive stocks selected for comparison with the other high record level of 1908 there was closer analysis of the details of the price quotations then, for the purpose of making comparison clearer
 The part played by the excessive prices of a few stocks in the previous averages stands out For instance. Great Northern preferred sold as high as 326B in connec- ton with the Great Northern ore dis bursements and the subscription rights to new stock. That price compared with 157H today. Northern Pacific also sold then at 211A compared with 1591s today. ,f ind ri nxhihif show crepancies the 1906 maximum for Amal- gamated Copper reaching 1151a compared with s9h today. American Smelting touched 174 in 1904, compared with 1O4% today. and Colorado Fuel S35s, compared with 1471s. These discrepancies lead to an inference on the part of some observ- CTS that the present average price level Is in reality the absolute highest in his tory. There are examples of distortion of the averages by excesses in prices of particular stocks now also. For instance, Union Pacific, 21014 today, compared with 1o01b in January of 1906; Southern Pacific, 1s7A, compared with s97s, and United States Steel 787s, compared with ASA.
 There was so much doing in financial way today that the governors of the stock exchange admonished one If the most ac- tive stock exchange houses in the present market of dangerous over-extension ana thinning out of margins. Yesterday heavy selling was supposed to have re- suited from this warning, which was in accord with the policy inculcated by the renort of the commission appointed by Governor Hughes to investigate changes and tacitly agreed to- 1t was intimated by the authorities of the New York ex- change This incident sharpened the watchfulness for signs of continuation fin the rise. The news in connection

with price movements moved away from the more general consideration of condi- tions common to all securities and took up Ideal rumors."
 The buoyancy of the Hartman Pacifics grew out of a rumor that the Union Pa cific executive committee had already moved to advise an increase in the divf- dend distribution of the two companies The discussion of Union Pacific's pro- posed segregation plan was revived with a variation pointing to an issue of certifl- cates of participation in profits on the company's investments. News was re- ceived from abroad that the French houses would participate in the coming Gould loan, and in Pennsylvania stock subscriptions Buying for London ac- count was a helpful factor toward strength. The days business proved the largest since the active market in June, when the Paris listing for United States Steel was first claimed. The later mar ket was decidedly reactionary, and with a considerable list of stock selling lower than last night. The feverish action of some stocks increased the suspicion of a bad technical position and prompted to some heavy unloading, which broke prices badly.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $7,073,OO0
 United States bonds unchanged on call.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, August 12.-(Special.) )-To- days advance was brought about by the buying from Liverpool where an improve ment in the trade in Manchester is being felt and as a large amount of the Liver pool stock is hedged, any demand in that market is quickly reflected here. The crop reports coming from Texas and Okla homa grow worse instead of better. These reports are now being accepted in Europe as correct, when a fortnight ago they were doubted. This leads to better business all around, though the sentiment here has been bearish under the selling by several commission houses formerly identified with the bull side. Many traders have followed their action so that a portion of today's advance was caused by stop orders. In the last few minutes the market sold off some 5 points from the best on rumors of a rain at Waco. Liverpool should advance some 5 points tomorrow
