 It was reported that storm warnings had been ordered for the Mexican gulf coast owing to the presence of West Indian storm southwest of Porto Rico and some traders thought this threatened a disturbance in the gulf that might work inland to the damage of open cotton but neither the possibility of this nor the continued dry, hot weather in Texas in- spired any fresh buying of consequence and shortly after the opening prices eased off to a net loss of about 1o points on August for which there was little or no demand, and of ACT points on the new crop.
 There was no important support and no dBBTebSlV6 Seiiltlks Dut dLlSI luc Puoioh- ing of the Texas weather details showing maximum temperature of from 100 to 10l degrees over much of the state, the mar ket rallied few points from the low est The bull leaders made no attempt to boost prices and after recovering to within to points of last nights finals, the fluctuations became very narrow and irrgular.

WHEAT PRICES TURN
 SHARPLY DOWNWARD
Offerings Are More Liberal
 \ Than the Demand
CROP REPORTS BETTER
September Corn Advances Hut This Option and Others Finally Close Lower-Oats and Provisions
 Are Also Weak

Chicago. August 2-Wheat was weak today and closed from so to 1Ac off. Corn closed Ac to Sc down after drag ging all day, while oats kept in narrow range and finished weak 1so to ssc off. Provisions felt the weakness of grain and fell off generally. closing from 211c to 221ac down.
 Offerings were liberal in the wheat pit and a general desire to sell more than offset g. number of bullish items. which included higher foreign markets and de- crease in the estimated Saskatchewan crop, placed today by experts at 6s,ooo'- GOO bushels against SO,ooo.ooo bushels last year. Midday in the session there was slight rally, traders being impressed by the break in prices. The advance was of little extent and short duration and to- ward the close the values sagged still further, the final quotations being al- most at the bottom
 Spring wheat estimates are larger than given out the first of the month. Re- ports of export business were unconfirm- ed. Cash prices held firm in the ab- sence of much demand. The close was weak all around with September 1B@1Ac to 1Ao off at 9s9sc.~ December closed To 1hc to 1Ac down at $1.027s@1.03.
 September corn was favorite among buyers and for part of the session kept away from the weakness shown by the more distant deliveries. Fear of cold weather damage to the growing crop dis appeared to some extent, the greater part of the corn belt being now believed to be out of danger. Offerings for Sep tember and May were heavy and cash sales were liberal, with prices steady to Ac down. No yellow sold at 611ac to 62c. The close was weak with September Ac off at 6o1hc. December closed 1ac to ssc down at 5Sc.
 A sluggish cash demand and liberal re- ceipts gave a. weak tone to the oats mar ket which was further pounded by the weakness in wheat and corn. Shipping sales were about the average and fluctau- lions were narrow. The close was weak with September Mc down at s4%c. De- cember finished ssc down at 3sasc.
 Realizing sales weakened the provisions market after a firm start. Commission houses and packers bought freely on me dins Closing figures for the September nroducts were: Pork, s21.15 to s21171s, 191hc to 15c down; lard, $11.eo, ao orf' ana ribs. s1215, 221ac off. ,,o

CARLOAD OF APPLES COMES IN DUE TIME. Fruit Growing Very Scarce on

EGGS ARE STILL SCARCE

A carload of fine apples was the chief receipt yesterday on Morris avenue. The apples came in bulk from Virginia. and are to be packed in barrels for sale by local wholesale merchants. The fruit came in good time, ss nearly every other variety is exhausted, California fruit and cantaloupes from the Ozark district of Missouri excepted.
 Eggs continued yesterday at 24 cents, with a decided inclination to rise fur ther. The scarcity of eggs in August is nothing new, however, and the prices will recede in time. Chickens are by no means plentiful, being affected dur ing this season like eggs No change was noted yesterday in the prices on hens and flyers.

season, but no great amount of buying resulted. At the highest in the early trad ing prices were 1 point over yesterday closing. At the end of the first hal1 hour of trading they were to points down from the highest. This was caused by offerings from longs who were selling out.
 The market became extremely dull around the middle of the morning, and from then on until noon very small amount of trading was done. Prices sagged to a level points down from yes terday's last quotations. Bears, however, showed no aggressiveness. Texas report cd extremely hot and dry weather, ana some sections sent in telegrams saying that present heavy picking would last three to four weeks longer. Under sucn conditions bulls contended any rain such as the forecast promised would do inn nense damage. The absence or any spot demand or of any business In the spot de- partment in the way of forward engage ments was against the market. At noon the tone was quiet and steady with prices a couple of points from the low est.
 In the afternoon session the market was extremely dull and prices showed almost no movement. At 2 o'clock they were practically where they were at noon.
 The close was steady at net decline of to points.

GENERAL DECLINE
 IN STOCK MARKET Prices Are Subject to Pressure
 and Fall Off INDUSTRIES ARE DULL Wall Street Does Not Take Kindly to the Fractional Fight Among Re- publicans and Market Is
 Consequently Affected
INDUSTRIES ARE DULL

New York, August 24.-With trading in very limited volume, today's stock mar ket was at times subjected to consider able pressure and the outcome left prices of some of the more active issues from to ? points lower. Much of the pressure seemed to emanate from the short inter- est which sold heavily at the outcome and forced stocks to a level where further liquidation was imminent
 Events dealing with the securities mar ket covered a wide range and embraced further proof of dullness in industrial ac- tivities as well as an extreme likelihood of further tariff revision. Although it is the avowed purpose of the adminstra- ton to effect this revision with a modicum of disturbance to the business interests of the country, Wall street did not take kindly to the programme and manifested its displeasure by selling stocks, first to London and then here The open quarrel between the so-called regulars and pro- gressives of the republican party in this state helped to unsettle conditions, inas- much as it now seems certain that the fight will partake of much personal bit- terness on both sides and may be carried into other parts of the country.
 The most encouraging news of the day was that the strike of the workers em- ployed by the American Tin and Shset Plate company had come to an end This, however. was neutralized by persistent rumors of further business stagnation, particularly in the steel and iron trade. ,tr cfoyl al that one of the largest of the independent companies in that line had ordered fur ther curtailment of operations. An of fcial estimate of wheat and oats crops In western Canada fixed the combined yield at about 100, ,ooo,oO0 bushels and was followed by a sharp decline in Canadian Pacific shares.
 London sent in a lower range of quo tations for our securities and the early session here responded with further loss due to moderately heavy sales for Euro pean account Foreign exchange ad- vanced here again and gave color to the belief that gold shipments to South Amer lea will soon be announced.
 Advices from Montana and Idaho deal ing with the forest fires in those states told of further loss of life and destruc- tion of property which is sure to aggre- gate many millions of dollars. One of the subsidiary plants of the Amalga- mated Copper company is located within the danger zone and fears were expressed that this property was in danger of com pete obliteration.

 Af.- of1r,,a plan declares that the output by the lead ing producers here and abroad for the current month will show reduction Of almost 2oooo, 900 pounds, and that this dim mutton is to continue indefinitely.
