WHEAT LOWERED BY
 CANADIAN REPORTS
Businesss0n Board of Trade Has a Very Quiet
 Day

Chicago, August 18.--Business on the board of trade was quiet again today. Wheat failed to hold an early bulge. Sep tember closing 1s60Ac down. September corn closed shade higher and oats un- changed. Provisions were firm. closing 21sd15c up
 The main consideration In the wheat was the unvaryingy cheerful reports from the Canadian northwest, whore a bumper crop is being garnered. Shorts covered early on higher cables and be- cause Europe was said to be taking everything offered September rose 10 eo1kc under this influence. but the ad- vance over-taxed the strength of the rAar- ket and a decline to S914c followed
 There was a reaction toward the close on covering by shorts. but the close was under yesterdays. The official statement of shipments from this country for July show g. gain of 3.soo,o0o bushels over the corresponding month last year.
 Corn showed a tendency to follow wheat but the trade was small and the range of prices narrow, although the
  helped the market on weak spots. Cash sales here and in the country were re- ported on the increase. September sold between 65Kc and 645sc.
 Considerable poor oats were noticed in the receipts today following the wet weather last week Prices followed the drift of wheat and corn over O narrow range September selling between 42isc and H%c and closing unchanged.
 Provisions were strong. Packers bought October and sold January product. One of tho export concerns bought a fair line of January lard and the cash article was in fair demand. January pork closed 15c over yesterday at $16.45 September lard 1211c higher at s9 .071a, and September ribs 21a@oc up at S9 10Q9 121k.

WITH MARKET FIRM
 COTTON ADVANCES
Weather Conditions and London Strike Instill
 Bull Confidence

New Orleans, August ls,--with official weather reports failing to show as much rain in the southwest as indicated by the rrivate advices of yesterday, and with leading bulls showing no disposition to liuuidate as a result of the English sit nation, the cotton market became frmer today. and prices advanced sharply on support from trade interests and covering The close was steady at net gain of 10 to 22 points,
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of points to a decline of points, rear months being higher on private report making the crops condition SS per cent against 90.5 two weeks ago and rather better cables than expected, while late months eased off under scattering
 liquidation and local selling inspired by the disturbing influence of English labor troubles and feeling that rains in the southwest had led to an improvement In the position of the crop since mid-month condition figures were complied.
 The active new crop positions eased off to a net loss of about to points dur ing the first few minutes, but the sell ing was not aggressive as recently, and following the publication of the Texas weather details, showing less rain than anticipated, the market turned firmer on a renewal of bull support and covering. Stop-loss orders were uncovered on a scale-up, and during the middle of the day December contracts sold at Il 45c, or about l5 points net higher. Leading bulls sup ported August, notwithstanding rumors that the early crop receipts might come to New York on delivery on contracts if the English labor troubles should continue, and that month advanced to 12.32c, or 23 points net higher.
 The close was to points off from the best on active positions under realiz- ing, but the market was nervous and un- settled in the late trading, and part of the covering seemed to be inspired by a feeling that with labor and crop uncer- tainties restricting general business, the market might be more readily influenced temporarily by the operations of the larger interests
 ed demoralizatlons of the transportation the opening of the English market until further notice.
 Receipts today, 7416 bales, against 41o7 last week and 9633 bales last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans, b54 bales, against 632 last year. and at Hous- ton, SSS9 bales, against SIP last year.

REPORT ADVANCE
 IN PRICE 0F EGGS Carload of Pineapples Re- ceived by the Produce
 Dealers Yesterday

Morris avenue merchants reported an advance of cents on the price of eggs Friday. The demand Is decidedly good. but the increase Is due largely to the scarcity of stock which prevails. The poultry business was very gratifying Friday Heavy receipts replenished the markets and prices were strengthene ed considerably by the growing demand for fowl. Flyers especially drew a heavy trade
 A car load of pineapples was received by the produce dealers yesterday. The produce business has been rather quiet this week, a large portion of the local trade being supplied by farmers neigh boring the city.
 This has been a good week for the grain dealers. The volume of business transacted has been much larger than usual, and prices have been exception ally strong.

RECOVERY |S MADE
 IN STOCK MARKET
Influence Assigned to the Statement of Hartman
 Management

New York, August 1s-No small part of the recovery recorded by the stock mar ket today was directly traceable to the statement from the Hartman manage ment after the close of business yester day. Judge Lovott's unequivocal de- rial of any internal dissention In Union Pacific, or probability of reduction of the existing dividend, was accepted on its face value in most quarters. accompanied, as 1t seemed to be, by purchases of liar rman stocks on the part of bankers close ly identified with that system.
 In speculative circles some skeptlcism was shown. Much of the mystery of the Union Pacific episode, including the origin of the famous selling the past three weeks, remains unsolved. There were hints today that the near future might in ject a new and highly important interest in that property, an interest which had otfen opposed the plans of the Hartman faction.
 Sat for the English strike situation. 1t is possible today's movement might have proceeded further.
 British trade prospects are undoubtedly seriously affected. Private advices to in-
 
 ternational bankers were almost alarm irg. All shares participated in today s gains to the extent of one or two points, but trading became exceedingly dull on the decline in marked contrast to the extraordinary activity which attended each successive downward movement of the last three weeks. There was no evi- dence of public interest, and much of the recovery may be properly assigned to covering of short contracts.
 Transactions in the first four hours ag- lregated 33o,0Oo shares, of which 600 changed hands In the first hour There was some increase of activity in the final dealings. Under the lead of Union Pa oific, which advanced to 1723s, other lead CTS also tended sharply upward. There vas numerous net gains of to points, and the markets tone at the close was more sustained than at any previous time Of the day.
 Home incidents included threats of a strike on the Illinois Central road, fore casts of tomorrow bank statement point ing to large cash gain and official fig tres dealing with the country's exports of manufactures ready for consumption. These show an increase of over $100,00 000,- GOO for 1910-11, of which machinery sup rlied the greater, with large gains in au- tomobiles and cotton goods. Bonds were steady aside from weakness on the Amer ican Tobacco per cent. Total sales, par value, s1,571 O0o.

 MENA FOR PRESIDENT

New Orleans. August 1s.--It was stated by Nicaraguans here yesterday that pa,ti- san and political admirers of Gen. Luis Mena, minister of war of Nicaragua, are the presidency to succeed President Adolfo Diaz It was also stated that owing to the opposition that is being raised to President Diaz by those Nicaraguans who are opposed to the foreign loan in its pro- posed form, it Is very likely that Diaz win be forced to retire before his term has expired. General Mena is said 70 be in favor of foreign loan, but op ) ,sed to tlfat advocated by the state dcpart- ment at Washington.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York August 1S.-when the off, cial rainfall from Texas did not confirm the private dispatches received yesterday of rain through northern central Texas, the trade became buyers, slowly advanc-
 ing prices to the close. which was at tho highest of the day. The absence of good rains has caused a better feeling in the market without any increase in the de- mand from spinners or outsiders. Piiva to advices of local rains in the southwest were again received. but without effect through the failure of the government to confirm the private reports of yesterday. A sharp advance is expected in Liverpool tomorrow unless rains fall tonight, show ing the market is essentially a weather one during the usual period of deteriora- ton.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, August 1S-Cottnn fu- lures opened quiet and steady, points up to points off. Cables were indiff erent and the ring was inclined to sell on the situation in England. A private crop re- porting bureau put out s as it's semi
 monthly figures on conditions This Is con- sidered very bullsh but had little effect on the market Weather reports were nor very favorable as little rain was noted m Texas and temperatures fairly high every where. The market had sagging ten dency and at the end of the first falf hour of business was ? to points under yesterdays close.
 Reports of better demand for spot cotton and the announcement of a sale of line of about 1500 bales of eastern mills> strengthened the market, and to- ward the middle of the morning caused 1t to take on an advancing tendency. Buy ing for strong bullish interests was in evidence and 1t was said it was based on |rilmors from England that another confer ence between labor leaders and govern ment officials was on. This was not offl- cislly confirmed At noon the trading months were 10 to Il points over yester- days close.
 Tn the afternoon session the mark t was quiet Bulls withdrew their support and prices fell off few points. At ? o'clock the trading months were to. 10 points oyer yesterdays close For the first time in months the visible supply showed an increase for the week instead of a de- crease. the variation being 760 bales, against a decrease of 55,1S1 bales this week last year and a decrease of 99052 bales this week two years ago. This was due to the large movement of new cotton. It had little effect on the market
 The cotton market closed steady at net advance of to il points.

THRILLING FEATURE
 OF WAR MANEUVERS

San Francisco, August 1S.-The first spectacular feature of the war maneu- vers, which were begun Monday at the Presido, took place last night, when three government tugs. stimulating the probable movements of hostile fleet, essayed to run the gauntlet of the forts protecting San Francisco.
 Attached to the tug Barrette, which brought up the rear of the attacking squadron, was a huge target and into this the guns of Fort Winfield Scott poured a heavy fire. Though actual fir ing of shells was limited to Fort Win field Scott, the defenders" at Forts Barry, Wiley and Baker went through all the motions attendant on the ate tempted repulse of a hostile fleet.
