IMMENSE WHEAT
 EXPORTS PROMISED
Belief Helps Market Rally. Close 1-2c to 7-Sc Above
 Monday Night

Chicago. August 27.-Belief that United States wheat exports this season would be larger than ever before helped the mar 1zq7sc above last night. Latest trading left corn at an advance of 1se to 11sc, oats up 9sa1se and provisions less expen- sive by to F points,
 Opinion in regard to probable record breaking exports of wheat grew out of estimates that to foreign countries the sales of wheat and flour from this year S crop in the United States were already equal to 2o,00o00o bushels of wheat In this connection leading British authority reported fears that wet weather there had been serious in the quality of European bread material
 A group of large houses here lined up on the buying side of wheat in stalwart fashion. Discovery of the fact checked early selling, due to failure of predictions of frost in Canada. December led the ad- vance, That option ranged from 9Sc to 94ssc and closed at the last named fig- ures, a gain of 7sc net.
 Corn had firm tone throughout Ex- hausted stocks furnished the increased interest. September moved from 721sc to 73l2c, closing strong at the top point of the session, 1lsc over last night Cash grades were In active demand. No. ? yell low was quoted at s0qSoiac.
 Inability of interior shippers to get enough cars made oats firm despite an early dip on account of big arrivals here. Outside prices touched for September were S2c and 32a4c with the finish 32@4c, a net advance of lac.
 Hard spots in the provision market brought taking on the part of stock yards longs. In the end quotations were off all around. pork and lard 71s@12l1c and ribs 5G10c.
 Future ouotations wera as follaxys.

New Orleans Cotton Market

New Orleans, August 27.--Cotton futures opened steady al a decline of to C points on poor cables and encouraging crop and weather accounts from the delta, The weather map was wet and cloudy except in the extreme eastern and western DOT tions of the cotton e.ion and those bear ishly inclined based fresh sales on 1t. Lit tie or no support was offered in the early trading and even the demand for covers from shorts was not large. With the prices were to points down.
 Accentuated weakness was displayed around the middle of the morning. The general opinion was that the pressure came from hedge selling. There appeared to be little desire among speculators to sell short except in a scalping fashion. Scalpers did follow the decline for a few points. but were quick to take profits and their purchases of covers steadied the market at the decline. The rumor that hedge selling was going on served to call attention to receipts at Texas points which were larger than on tho same day last year. At midday prices were IA to l5 points under yesterdays close.
 In the afternoon selling pressure con- tinued for some time and at the lowest prices were IT to IS points down. Shorts took profits heavily and fresh long buying apparently for turn struck the market and prices quickly stiffened. Half an hour before, the close the trading posi- tions were only 3 points down under yes terday's close.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, August 27.-(Special.) )-Eu- rope sent adyices of lower markets than our own, so that the bearish sentiment of the trade was in full swing today. Under these influences the market sold off some 20 points from last evening, thA principal buyers being the spinners, who had placed scale orders all the way down.
 The weekly weather report was eonsid- cred bearish and Il lower close was an- ticipated, when few investment buy ing orders absorbed the offerings. A quick rally followed, with the market closing a shade better than the opening prices,
 The sentiment is distinctly against the market, so much so that great surprise is shown when any opinion favorable to the market Is expressed, on account of good trade. or because of the fact that no large crop was ever made when the August condition was less than the July report.
 The short interest has increased during the past few days, and 1t is very con ident of the correctness of it's position
 Liverpool Is expected to come un- changed to half point lower in the morn lrg.

San Francisco. August 27-Two van loads of documentary evidence bearing on the famous Spreckels will contest must be produced in court September IA.
 The evidence is in the records of the California Sugar Refining company since June, 1898. and the order to produce it was signed on the affidavit of Claus A. and Rudolph Spreckels. that 1t is neces : sary to their action for an accounting from their brothers. John D., and Adolph Spreckels.

STEEL MOUNTS ID , BEST PRICE OF YEAR Brilliant Crop Outlook and Congressional Recess
 Imparts Strength

New York. August 27.-The congress sional recess. further confirmation from high officials and unofficial quarters or the brilliant crop outlook and unusual demand for steel, iron and copper were the chief factors which imparted gen eral strength in today's stock market. London's high range for our securl- ties were also a favorable influence, slbeit the better inquiry for Ameri .ans at that center probably had its origin at this end Opening prices showed gains in all the standard is sues. with l and points advances in copper and steel specialties, respec- lively. the latter being especially strong abroad on buying attributed to Berlin. Hartman and Hill stocks, as well as the entire granger group, man. ifested an upward tendency.
 Among. the industrials United States Steel mounted to its best price of the year. and practically all the tobacco issues rose 8 points or more Later there came 2 demand for various mi- nor specialties, including common and preferred with 20 point gain for the latter; American Beet Sugar, Pittsburg Coal American Can, Mexican Petro- leum and tho local fractions.
 Each recurrent buying wave was fol- lowed by idleness, in which the mar ket seemed to undergo a process of assimilation, but the general rise was we'll maintained except in certain is- sues where evidence of realizing for profits was not lacking. On the whole Coppers were less a feature than in any recent session.
 London bought moderately here of Amalgamated and Steel, but its sales of Pacific probably offset the pur- ohases. Discounts hardened abroad again with further intimations of an early advance in the bank rate Firm ness was reflected in prices on the Paris and Berlin exchanges.
 The local bond market was irreg- ular. reflecting little of the strength shown by the stocks Total sales par value, were s1 ,56O0 900.
