WHEAT HELD NEAR
THE TOP At FINISH
Listless Market Strength
ened-Closing Figures
Higher

Chicago, August 13.-Activity of
shorts seeking to cover. notably in
September holdings, strengthened a
listless market today and held wheat
near the top at the finish. Closing fig
ures were from Is a &c higher. Corn
closed from a shade to Is "a c up with
oats AQS@15c higher and provisions
at an advance of from 5@27c.
Cash demand which absorbed 143, 900
bushels of wheat. much of which was
regarded as destined for export. dis
turbed September shorts and hurried
them to cover The activity in the
nearby option spread to the later
months and dull, easy trading which
began with prices unchanged to NC
down stlffened toward the END with ad-
vances in all futures.
Continued favorable reports on new
crop weather conditions in the north
west ahd weaker cables failed to exert
sufficient force to stay the advance.
The close was firm throughout at prac-
tieally top prices. Prices touched 98k
@e3A over Decembers high point. and
lie above yesterdays last price, finish
ing at 93Hc. December ranged from
s2@9Sisc with final figures sc higher
at 93c
Corn presented much the same fea-
lures as wheat and a strong cash de-
mand coupled with September eonges-
ton toned up the market despite re-
newed reports of ideal crop conditions
which forecast an enormous yield. Cow
ering trades continued to the las.
sales. Cash sales totaled 100000 bushels
with moderate primary receipts The
close was steady all around Septem-
Der travelled from 6eA @71c. finishing
at the high point, 70 a &c up. Decem-
Der ranged from 81 Is @55c.
Strength displayed by the major
grains was reflected in oats which de-
veloped a moderate advance after a
spiritless early market The close was
steady. December ranged from Bpm a
S24sc with final prices NC higher at
s2% @s27sc.
An advance of 010c in live hogs gave
impetus to provision prices which were
helped along by a lighter run of ami
mails than had been expected The close
was strong at nearly the top, January
pork being the banner product with a
net gain of 25@271sc.

| They disabused my mind as to the
cause Of abandoning the motors. The
only cause was the overheating of
the air cooled engines.
THE machines dragged heavy loads
over h worst part of the barriers
surfaces and crossed several crew
asses. Considering the inadequate
trial given to them their success has
been remarkable. With the expert
ence we have gained reliable traction
cars could be constructed which could
travel anywhere in this region and
thus save the sacrifice of so many
animals.
COR. December 10 we were in lati-
tude 1887 south. AS we proceeded
the weather grew worse. The snow
storms were frequent. Land was rare
ly visible. 1t was difficult to keep
a straight curse and maintain steady
marches. We came within twenty
miles of Mount Hope on December a,
then we were delayed for four days
by a gale during which we were oc-
cupied continually in digging the
ponies out Of the snow. To my knowl-
edge no such long storm has ever
been recorded in December il these
regions. We could not have advanced
at all had not the leading pony worn
snow shoes and been hauled along by
men on skis. 1t took IA hours for
US to do eight miles.
"On December 81 in latitude S5.7
we were four miles west of Mount
Darwin. 1t was very difficult to pro-
coed because Of the soft snow. The
runner surface of the sledges was in
adequate. Otter they sank to the
cross bars. For four days we strug-
gled through this icy morass at the
rate Of five miles a day. 1t was diff
ficult even to pitch a camp or to lead
the sledges on such a surface. This
portion of the glacier contains more
crevasses than any other.
Is Pushing Forward.
"On January 3, latitude 1882, after
leaving the upper glacier depot south
from Mount Darwin, we started south
west, but could not clear the crevasses.
But on the fourth day, because we
were at such an altitude, we got a
splendid view of the distribution OF
the land and of the masses Of ice that
frtnged 1t and of the arrangement of
the ice falls. Since then we have ay-
eraged Is miles a day.
ION Christmas day we were close to
the e1ghty-sixth parallel. On New
Years eve we were in latitude $685..
There we fitted our sledges with new,

Of work was performed by the seamen
of the party, under the most adverse
conditions.
1--WE were now within $50 miles OF
the pole.

sarily late"
