Chicago, August 4-The buying of corn

many as a nearly impossible goal. The
government forecast of at least seven

sponsible for the continued advance

The leaders who have watched pit oper-

FIGURE IN MARKET
Money in Active Demand
and Merchants Are Bor-
rowing Heavily

New York August 4-The course of To-
days listless stock market was governed
to an unusual degree by crop conditions.
Authoritative advices received over Sum
day pointed to little relief from the pro-
tracted drouth in the west and southwest
and found immediate reflection in smart
advances for corn options.
More thorough analysis of the corn de-
terioration, however shows that it is
greatest in states that have large supplies
of the cereal left over from last year.
Then, too, in Missouri, where the latest
official report places the corn condition
at 20, against sc a month ago, all reliable
signs Indicate a wheat crop exceeding all
expectations.
In its bearing on the general crop stua-
tion it is interesting to note that the
movement of grain fsom farms and in
terror points last week was on a very lib
eral scale. shipments comparing favorably
with last year. Western traffic as a whole
is fairly even and bankers in that section
are less pessimistic. Money is in active
demand and merchants are borrowing
heavily.
Initial trading in stocks here again
lacked foreign influence by reason of Lon
don's protracted holiday. Leading issues
showed a declining tendency. In the final
hour the market made full recovery and
In many instances rose a point or more.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. August 4.-(speciaL )-Liver-
pool will open tomorrow and pending the
uncertainty of its prices in view of the
sensitive crop conditions in the far south
west. our marekt was very steady and
absorbed the large Wall street offerings
easily.
There Is no feature beyond the depend
ence of prices upon the Texas situation
The rains of Saturday were followed by
dry weather and were not considered ade-
quate.
Speculation is dormant. and the trade,
while bearish, is unwilling to act upon its
convictions.
Some crop adyices are glowing, specially
from the middle and eastern sections
Private advces from abroad fear the
consequence of the eastern wars upon
trade, but business here seems fair with
some slackening at Fall River.
Buying at about II cents was believed
to be for spinners' account and caused
some demand from the short interest,
created on the recent showers.

positions at one time sold 10 to IL

rival of the Texas weather details at
noon, however. those operating for
higher prices contended that the rain
fall had been neither heavy nor gem
eral enough to afford the relief de-
Sired, and on good buying led by this
interest. together with renewed sup
port from spot people and fair trade
demand which was attracted by the ap-

Another setback occurred in the last
few minutes on reports of rain at San

cast was for fair weather in all parts

Texas and Oklahoma, this was regarded
as satisfactory for eastern states which
