THE CHICAGO MARKET.

CHICAGO, July 17.-Althoueh wheat
in sympathy with foreign markets had
a rather firm start today, a period of
weakness followed due to the in
1uence Of coarse grain. The initial
strength was based partly on small
world shipments and a big decrease In
the total on ocean passage. Rain and
cold weather formed the main reason
for the backset in other cereals.
Wheat opened b@A off to Y up. Sep
TENDER at the outset was IS TO ssh, a
gain of a shade to S6A. After touch
ing sSs@A, however, the market fell
TO S7ss.
Moisture extending over the entire
belt from Indiana to the far West
pulled down corn. Forage was also
reported al having received much
benefit in the cotton States septem-
Der opened u to q lower at 66M TO

In the oats crowd buyers were few

OPTIONS ON DOCKS IN
FRISCO FOR NEW LINE,

SAN FRANCISCO. July 17.-Tt be-
came known yesterday that the Ham
burg-American Steamship Company
has taken options for docks here and
that this is the first move toward es-
tablishing a line from New York via
Panama canal which will probably be
extended to Yokohama.
In preparation for this H.. F. Dorge-
lob. Pacific Coast manager of the COM
pany, left San Francisco recently with
engineers plans and estimates on
available sites for docks in and about
San Francisco.
John T. Morgan, in temporary charge
of the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. office here,
said no had no definite knowledge of
these options, but he admitted that ii
was the plan Of his company to be first
in competition for the large traffic ex-
pected from Europe through the canal
to San Francisco.
The Hamburg-Americap line already
has an ally on the Pacific in the Cos
mos line. The Cosmos line has been
running a few steamers to Europe
around the Horn. In this it has been
handicapped by great distance and the
time consumed in transit.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE cotton
market opened steady at an advance
of / point on the near months, but
from 2 to I points lower on the later
positions on local bear pressure, scat
tering liquidation and Southern seiiins.
Near months soon weakened with the
later deliveries and the general list sold
off to a net decline of about 8 to 10
points under continued pressure in
spired by disappointing cables, con-
tinued showers in the Western belt and
a bearish private report making the
condition of the crop SS per cent.
against SO per cent. toward the end of
last month and s7.5 per cent. at the
middle of last August. There vas
some trad buying at the decline and
covering enough to hold prices about
steady at a rally or two or three points
from the lowest.
The demand from scalping shorts
which seemed responsible for the
slight rally noted during the earlier
trading was readily supplied by con-
tinued Southern selling and the mar
ket broke toto new low ground for the
movement late in the forenoon with
the toni easy and prices showing a
net loss of about 14Gl7 points at mid
day. The Western belt forecast called
for continued unsettled or showery
weather and some thought that lead
ing bulls were among the sellers of
August and early fall months owing
to the increasing new crop movement
in the Southwest.
