Decreasing Stocks, Encouraging Cables and Fear
of Frost Damage Principal Influences
u Wheat Market

New York, August 2f.-There was a
strong and more confident feeling in
domestic wheat markets early in the
week, but there We're no violent fiuc-
tuations. and practically no excite
ment. This was attributed largely to
the fact that spectators We're in q
passive mood. and hence the situation
was dominated mainly by legitimate
influences
Conservative merchants, millers and
other dealers in cash grain feel friend
~ toward wheat, believing that Ii is
resting on sound and safe basis.
This opinion is largely founded on tho
general belief that the big Chicago
bulls have succeeded in unloading par,
of the huge quantities delivered to
them on May contracts
What Might Have Happened.
/, is supposed that had 1t not been
for this liquida ton prices would have
gone TO a higher plane as a result of
the damage by frost and rust in the
Northwest. With the Chicago bugbear
eliminated II is argued that the mar
ket is in a far more healthy condi-
ton. With primary receipts smaller
than q year ago, it is believed that
there Will be few or no important in
creases in the visible supply in the
near future especially as farmers in
winter wheat territory are making in
significant deliveries 10 country sta
lions. Indeed, advices from that quar-
ter suggest that many if not all farm
ers. excepting perhaps the wealthy
ones. have already marketed big
percentage of their surplus.
Consequently, 1t is argued that in
the future any enlargement in supplies
must take place in spring wheat ter
ritory. Traders OF keen and untram-
meled Judgment assert that they can
see little profit in short selling, be-
cause on any break exporters will
probably again buy with freedom. In
other words, 1t is generally agreed
that Europe Will be compelled to look
10 North America for larger supplies
ere long because OF the short crop in
Russia.
The News From Abroad.
Advices from that country have as
usual been decidedly vague and un-
reliable. but that there must be some
shortage is pretty plainly indicated
by the fact that one cargo of durum
wheat has already been cleared from
here to ST. Petersburg. while another
cargo has been sold at Duluth for
shipment 10 ST Petersburg 1t is esti-
mated that the exportahle surplus in
that country win be slightly less than
120.000,000 bushels Some make 1t as
low as so,0oo,0o0. whereas. in ordinary
seasons the exports have exceeded 15O,-
100000 bushels. and on one occas on
reached 225,o0o,0 900 bushels.

Charming Blue Monkey from ANA
zon Establishes a Court.

New York.-The latest society news
from the Bronx Geological Gardens

the most aristocratic siman ever seen

Refined to the point of exclusive
ness, says the Herald, this charming
ape refuses to occupy the quarters in
the monkey-house and has establish
ed himelf in section of the reptile
house. Thus he escapes the constant
chattering and grinning of the other
monkeys, who have been kept in a
constant state of excitement through
the championship ball games and the
fall in common steel. Humboldt, who
never takes flyers" because he can
get almost anywhere by swinging from
his tail hates the stock market talk
that is so prevalent in monkey cages
and other thought csenters of similar
caliber. But he finds the snakes and
turtles interesting and companion
able and never wearies of their So
ciety
His keepers expect to provide him
with a suitable mate, but he has al
ready intimated to them that money
Is no object in the matter of selection.
In this respect, as in others, he sets
good example to many of our visit
ors from abroad.

reach for the weapon.

sprang at Forbelrs throat. He met

jumped at him again. Forbell grap-
pied it. Man and dog fell Several
men had run up, but they feared to

it until the animal grew weak. Then,
