WHEAT CLOSES FIRM
 AT A GOOD ADLANCE.
Foreign Crops Are Reported to
 Be a Little Short
RALLY NEAR THE CLOSE
Reports on Condition of Corn Are Less Favorable With Resultant De- CHne-Oats Advanced-PrO-
 visions Close Irregular

Chicago, August 4.-Buying orders re- ceived here from France had much to do today with pushing up the price ot wheat. That country had been purchas- ing previously but on the Pacific coast The close was firm at a net advance of 1ac to Ac, the last figures for corn be- ing Ac to ssc higher than last night Oats were up Ac and provisions irregu- lar, varied from 121kc loss to a. gain of 5c.
 Conditions for the wheat crop in France and the Argentine were reported less showed strength. The local speculative element of the larger and more active sort took the bull side from the outset and kept on consistently, although big houses sold more than 100000 bushels of wheat.
 Profit taking in the last hour caused quite a sag, but there was a good rally at the finish. Cash wheat was firmer and the demand for it better, notwith- standing that primary receipts were much larger than a year ago.
 Some attention was given to the Ohio state report, which put the yield there at 24,oo0,0oo bushels, as against 27,ooO,o0O bushels last year. There was also dis cussion of the estimate made by local crop expert. who figured the total out put for the United States at 634,0o0, ,00O bushels to 641 100000 bushels.
 Fluctuations in. the September option ranged from $1.o1% to s1.02%. with the close kc to %61Ac up at s1 .02ssa1 .021ac. Corn was largely under the influence of the strength in wheat. Commission of. ferings, however, increased as prices ad- vance.
 Corn reports were less favorable. High and low points for the September option proved to be 6S, and 6214c, respectively. with the close firm at 62ssc. a rise of asc above the previous "A hours price.
 Oats were disappointing, although on the gain. Hedging sales were relatively lower and light. For the September op- tion changes today were bounded by 367sc and 3719c with the final sales asc up at 367sc@37c.
 Support for provisions was poor The tone of the market was heavy The end of the session found pork unchanged t1 71sc lower. lard down 711o to Dc up and ribs at 121ac decline to an advance oi 21a@5 cents.

GENERAL DECLINE
 IN COTTON PRICES
Rain in Texas Gives Cause for
 the Break
SELLING IS VERY HEAVY
Southern Spot Markets Are Unchanged. Liverpool Weakens on Texas Re- ports and Has Bearfsh In- fs
 nuence fin America zaIs

New York, August 4.-Accompanying a report that the Texas drouth had been broken. in part, at least, cotton prices deal of cotton on the market at times, some of it from houses which have &C., cumuated big lines in the last few weeks, but there was no evidence of Generalization and when the detailed weather reports from Texas appeared, showing less precipitation than had been reported early, there was a disposition to buy back some of the cotton sold during the forenoon.
 Prices steadied up 10 points in the aft ernoon on this buying. but there was no aggressive support pending further de- tails as to the extent of the Texas ben eft from rains. New York private dis patches took the stand that nothing but a good soaking rain would permanently help the Texas crop and most of the wire houses advised the purchase of cot ton on any further break.
 One firm credited with holdings of about 150.ooO bales sold upwards of 5000 bales during the day. On the other hand mill interests were good buyers on the de- cline and it was said that spinners had taken possibly 25O,OO0 bales out of the market during the last week. The Liver pool market was first to reflect the re- ported rains in Texas and sent selling orders here.
 Oklahoma advfces reported rain in both Oklahoma and Texas. There was a drop In tempera ture. which in itself was quite a relief to those who are apprehensive as to crop conditions. Near positions were relatively steady all day on de- mand from mills and shorts. Southern spot markets were generally unchanged. The local market opened easy at to 19 points decline and at the close was steady, with net loss of to M points. Receipts at the ports today III bales, against 2444 last week and 672 last year; for the week 12OOO, against 20,7S0 last week and 10,257 last year. Today's re- ceipts at New Orleans 253, against S9 last year and at Houston 476. against 126 last year.

GRAND TRUNK ROAD
 REINSTATES MEN

Montreal, August 4.-About 50 per cent of the 10000 Grand Trunk con- ductors, trainmen and yard men who struck on July IS were reinstated in their positions today. The develop ments of the day tended to show a liberal policy on the part of the rail- road officials toward the strikers, the delay in placing many of them being due to the disorganized condition of schedules and the impossibility of re- establishing them in 24 hours. None of the new men will be discharged, and between 20 and 30 per cent of the strikers will not receive immediate em- ployment.

 The forecast calling for showers nearly everywhere in the cotton coun- try caused further weakness and around the middle of the morning the most active months were 31 to 32 points under yesterdays closing. Selling was
