YIELD WILL BE IMMENSE

Chicago, August 9.-Wheat prices broke nearly cents on the Board of Trade to- day, following the publication of the gov ernment crop report and all deliveries sold below the dollar mark. The report indi- amounting to 4S2, ,92O 900 bushels, a much larger yield than generally expected. The market closed weak at almost the bot tom, at net declines of 1lsc to 15sQla4c. Corn closed steady and oats and pro- visions steady
 The wheat market was inclined to be weak all day but little activity was mani fested until the final 15 minutes during which period there was general selling, based on the exceedingly bearish show ing of the government statistics relating to the condition of spring wheat and to the total yield of wheat in this country According to the estimate by the govern ment statisticians, the total yield of spring and winter wheat will be in the neigh borhood of 71s, ,S0o, GOO bushels, which, with one exception, Is the largest on record
 The trade had been expecting a bearish report but were not prepared for such a radical one..
 Prior to the publication to the report the market had been inclined to drag owing to weak cables and a continuance of favorable weather conditions for the crop in this country and Canada. Trade during the greater part of the day was confined chiefly to "soalping' operations between local professionals. During the day the September delivery sold between sS4 and s1 .0O4 The May option for tho first time this season sold below the dol lar mark, the price at the bottom being 995sc. The market closed weak with Sep tember at sSBc.
 An official forecast of cooler weather for Illinois and Indiana took the edge off the hot weather scare in the market sentiment at times being quite bearish The slump in wheat had depressing effect late in the day. There was also considerable selling based on talk of lib- eral arrivals here tomorrow. Despite these factors there was quite free buying by country commission houses The buying was brought out by the excessive heat in part of the corn belt. The market closed about steady with prices Sc higher to hc lower than Saturdays final figures.
 Oats were weak all day owing to selling by country houses and by local longs. Increased local receipts was one of the chief reasons for the selling pressure. The market closed weak with prices off Ao to AQsso.
 Provisions were weak on selling induced by 15o decline in live hogs. Local re- ceipts of hogs were Il GOO head in excess of the estimated amount. At the close prices were 5o to loo lower than Satur- days close.

PROFITS TAKEN FREELY

New York, August o.-Rans in the southwest gave the bears additional cour- age in the cotton market today, and prices were depressed to the lowest point they have reached since the publication of the August bureau report, with Jan- uary at 11.7sc, or 91 points below the high level of last Monday. The mar ket closed steady at net decline of IS to 19 points The opening was easy at a decline of B to 19 points in response to the weak cables and the reports of rain in Texas over Sunday.
 The initial decline caught some large stop-loss orders. but the bear leaders ap- peared to be taking profits on part of their lines and fluctuations during the early session were irregular. The official details of Texas weather confirming the earlier reports of rain from private sources and the western belt foreca st for partly cloudy to unsettled weather, encouraged bear pressure later. however, and at the low point the market showed a net loss of 20 to 24 points Covering caused rally of 4 or points toward the close but the undertone continued
 
 thorities did not consider that the rains reported so far in Texas would be of any material benefit to the crop. unless followed by further showers and lower temperatures, but the rains discouraged recent buyers According to private ca- bles, the Liverpool market was influenced by the rain reports and favorable crop accounts from other sections of the belt, but was sustained at the decline by con- tinental buying.
 Receipts at the ports today 12Oo. against 1599 last week and 9953 last year. For the week 12,000, against 905S last week and 2403S last year.
 Todays receipts at New Orleans 14 bales, against 491 last year and at Hous- ton 2S3 bales, against 2402 last year.

TIE CLOSE IS IRREGULAR

New York, August 9.-United States Steel at 7Sh; Union Pacific at 2o5; Read ing at 165A; Atchison at 12011; Great Northern Ore certificates at s6-these were the points in the days stock market that centered attention, showing new records for these leading favorites of the stock market speculation The three first named stocks absorbed an overwhelming propor- tion of the days total dealings. The only particular influence bearing on these movements was the news that the remain ing holdings in the Union Pacific treas ury of Great Northern Ore certificates and of Northern Pacific and Great North ern preferred had been marketed, thus adding to the enormous free cash in the hands of the Union Pacific. The infer ence drawn from this was that block of Great Northern Ore certificates that had been oyerhanging the market with threatening effect having been absorbed, the stock was entitled to a rise. The profit indicated to the Union Pacific was a help to that stock also. Less was heard of the surmise that has been prev alent since the reduction of Union Pacific's investment holdings of stocks became known. of the intended destination of the proceeds of these sales for reinvest- meht There arose some question as to whether a policy of liquidation of invest ment holdings was not In force by Union Pacific.
 Discussion was revived also Of the con dition of E. H. Harriman's health.
 Another influence on the early stock market, or on that portion of it includ- ing the stocks of Southern railroad com panies, was the news of general rains In Texas over Sunday. The hope of bene- fit to the important portion Cd the cotton crop grown in that state was clearly re- fected in the downward plunge in the price of cotton and stocks of railroads which have large cotton traffic also responded.
 A rise in the London price of copper failed to benefit Amalgamated Copper but American Smelting and American Lead were among the early strong features. Expectation had been raised very high of the favorable character to be shown bv the government crop report. This was A help to the early strength In stocks and led up to pronounced dullness in the period of suspense before the publication of the report. This was due to a fear that however favorable the report might prove, sales of stocks would be pushed to realize profits when the news was pub ushed As matter of fact the re- port was a disappointment especially In the condition estimate of corn The pros poets for this crop have been called very brilliant in the trade and an improv- ing tendency was assumed. The sharp decline in the condition figures reported by the agricultural department to S4.4 on August 1. compared with s9.3 on July l. failed to bear out these predictions.
 The profit-taking sales, therefore m

stead of meeting increased demand en- countered selling and prices broke sharp ly to below last Saturday night. Hasty short covering rallied the market, but the closing tone was irregular.
 The increased indicated yield of winter wheat and the sllghtness of the deteriora- ton in spring wheat for the month helped to counteract the effect of the corn show ing. The amount of outside demand for stocks coming into the market at tho opening of the week as a result of the attractive strength shown by last week 8 stock market prevailed moderate and prices made an early reaction under the burden of the selling to realize. Tho recovery to top prices in a limited num- Der of stocks did not induce very gen. eral response. A frmer tone in the call loan market was an incident of the day, which was a consequence of the consid- erable inroad upon surplus reserves of the banks made by last weeks decline in cash holdings. The PIE per cent rate was higher than has been touched since the second week in June.

 Futures opened steady at a decline of IT to 19 points on rains and lower temperatures in Texas over Sunday.

For some time first prices were the lowest, the market steadying up and recov- cred 10 points on extensive profit talk ing by shorts. At the middle of the day expectations of more rain in the west put prices down again, this time to a level 23 to "A points below Sat urday's final quotations. Late in the session the market steadied on a re- newal of realizing. The close was steady at a net decline of 15 to Is points.

Dry Goods.
Hubabrd Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, August 9.-(Special. )-Show- CTS occurred in many places in Texas over Sunday. They exceeded an inch in rainfall in about ten of the report ing stations. Elsewhere they were light and insufficient to overcome the effect of the prolonged hot dry weather Un- der the influence of these showers the market opened from IS to 20 points lower and closed steady at about 15 points de- cline. This decline in face of adverse crop advices up to Sunday has brought about heavy liquidation by the commits sion houses while the short interest has largely increased.
 Our advices from Manchester report a much better feeling and more business than for long time past. The receipts promise to be light until well into Sep tember. Unless further rains fall In Tex as the decrease in the condition will .ex- ceed the usual August deterioration and though everybody Is now as bearish as they were bullish a week ago, it is moro than probable that the crop will be less than the consumption by 100000 bales.
