many adviees are coming to hand to con-
firm the severe deterioration west of the
Mississippi with other reports of a de-
cline in Alabama, northern Georgia and
South Carolina that many who have
been expecting the receipts to bring about
a decline decided to buy now. On this
demand the market has lowly advanced,
closing prices firm at the best prices
since the August bureau report. This
advance has borne all the Indications Of
an advance on trade and not speculative
buying. With cables coming every day
from Manchester for the past fortnight
reporting an improvement in demand for
yarns and goods and daily reports of a
falling Off in crop prospects 1t would have
been natural to expect a wave of specu-
lation. This has not appeared but in its
place has been slow buying by the trade
and of the incoming receipts by the con-
tinent coming upon markets when all had
been expecting a decline. Our American
spinners are opposed to the advance
Liverpool should advance points to-
morrow.

GAINS MADE FOR THE DAY

New York, August 27.-The stock
market made some recovery today, but
the undertone was hesitating and I'M
certain. 1t was plain that the drastic
liquidation of the last three days had left
a number of weak spots at which the
bear party might renew its attack. Adj
vices bearing on the health of Mr.. Har-
riman were not altogether encourage
ing and Wall street, 1t must be admitted,
is Just now primarily interested In the
future course of the Hartman properties.
There appeared to be feeling of aloof-
ness on the part of the professional ele-
ment though purchases of the standard
issues on further recessions were coun-
seled
One of the features of the day was the
persistent pressure brought to bear upon
United States Steel. That stock had
weathered the recent storm better than
almost any other issue in the active list,
but today it gave evidence of yielding
under the strain. The stock was free
" offered and before noon went under
the previous days low price. The mar
ket opened auspiciously in response to
Londons lead, where there had been
wholesale "short' covering of Americans.
First prices here were up all the way
from IA in Union Pacific common and
preferred, to 21a in Southern Pacific,
with numerous other issues higher by
a point.
Trading was active, but orderly and
the buying was sufficiently impressive
to warrant the belief that it had its
origin in responsible quarters. Very
heavy covering of short contracts was
also INDUCED in Early gains were soon
lost, however, with the attack upon
Tinted states Steel, and while some re-
covery was made, it was at the expense

MATERIAL RALLY
IN WHEAT MARKET
Buying Is Brisk and offerings
Are Not Large
PRICES ARE MUCH TOO LOW
Complaints of Serious Damage to the
Corn Crop in Nebraska Cause an
Advance in Price-Oats and
Provisions Close Strong.

Chicago, August 21-Excelent demand
for cash wheat here and in the northwest
inspired lively buying of the options in
the wheat market here today, resulting
in a material rally. Closing figures
showed net gains of 1c to 13sQ11sc.
Coarse grain and provisions also closed
strong.
Decided strength developed in the wheat
market following slight weakness at the
start, due to declines in the principal
European centers. Congestion in the Sep
TENDER delivery and an accidental bulge
of 115c in the price of that option was
a feature of the first hours trading.
The sharp advance in the price of the
nearby delivery prompted considerable
covering by shorts in the December OPP
ton, resulting in a fair gain in that
month. Sentiment was undeniably bullish
nearly all day and prices at the close
were almost at the top notch
A leading elevator interest was again
an aggressive bidder for the September
option, offerings of which were meager.
Much of todays strength conferred in
the cash situation Arrivals of cash wheat
here are not sufficient to prevent a con-
slant increase in premiums owing to the
urgency of the local demand At Min
neapolis also the cash grain was said to
be in active demand and liberal sales of
flour were also reported. Crop reports
from the northwest We're generally of a
favorable nature, but the impression that
prices had declined further than was war
ranted by the present situation seemed
to have gained adherents.
Complaints of serious damage to the
corn crop in Nebraska by hot winds
brought a lively demand for corn by
shorts. AS result prices advanced nearly
1c from the low point of the session
The market displayed moderate weakness
early in the day owing to selling by COM
mission houses, but toward the end of tho
first hour became grim and continued
strong the remainder of the session.
Prices at the close were ss@1ac to 1ha5sc
higher.
The bulge in September wheat prompted
liberal purchases of oats by shorts, which
caused considerable strength in the mar
ket all day. An advance of 1ac to lie in
the price Oh the casn grain also nelpeu TO
strengthen the market. At the close
prices were 5sc to &c above yesterday S
final figures.
Provisions were firm during the entire
session, chiefly because of buying of lard
by local packers Decreased hog receipts
at western packing centers contributed
some frmness to the situation Prices
at the close showed net gains of DC to
221ac

became generally known that the Gin

during the day the ring was inclined to

stronger feature. Liverpool and Man

helped the market. The weekly figures
showed exports for the season of S,4oS,-

tablished a new record. The closing was

New York, August 27.-The cotton
market made d generally steady show
ing today without, however, any par
ticular increase in activity or broaden
ing of speculative demand. Bullish crop
accounts for the eastern belt and ru-
mors of a bullish National Ginners re-
port were among the factors, the mar
ket closing barely steady at net ad-
vance of 2d13 points
The market opened steady at a decline

near months being relatively easy owing
to yesterdays late reports of cheaper
spot offerings for Texas, while later op-
tons reflected bullish crop reports and
the entire list sold up to a net gain of
about points soon after the call The
report of prominent local authorities on
the Carolinas' crop was a strengthen
ing influence and there was fear that
the gulf storm might cause damage in
South Texas. There were also claims
That the figures of a new crop reporting
agency pointed to a yield of Il, 900 900 or
under. Nevertheless prices eased off to
within or 3 points of last nights clos
ing under realizing, later firming UP
with the market becoming little more
active during the afternoon on encour-
aged trade reports from Liverpool and
the continent and rumors that the Ma
tional Ginners' association would make
the condition 64.4 which was afterwards
denied with the statement made that the
report would not be issued until Mon
