Southern Pacific stock has been watched

CHICAGO GRAIN.

CHICAGO, August 16.-Heavy profit
taking on the part of leading holders
acted as a check today on any decided
advance in the price of corn. Closing
ngures were steady at range extending
from Aass Off to a gain of a cent COM
pared with the previous night. Wheat
finished Bah to q net higher, oats I'M
changed to sixteenth up, and provi
sions increased in cost 5a713 to JOa521R.
Considering the activity with which
bull leaders turned corn options into
actual money, the market held up re-
lnarkably well. Much of the selling was
influenced by a forecast of lower temper
atures and possible showers over differ
ent parts of the corn belt before Monday.
There were rains In Oklahoma and Kan
sas. but the effect on prices appeared
small. the moisture in both states being
regarded as too late to save the corn
crop.
New high price records for the season,
now almost a daily feature, received an
other slight upward revision. ASeptember
went above the 15-cent level. and De-
cember almost grazed 20 cents. AS
against the unloading by prominent spec
ulators here, 1t was alleged that the
southwest and the country districts In
general were sticking to the bull side
or the market and confident of still high
or prices being reached. Best quotations
today, however, were touched at the
opening and there was no important rally
from a setback that took place almost
at once.
Delay In blowing for the winter crop
had bullish influence on the wheat
market There were also Canadian ad-
vices of a probable later harvest and
If considerable storm damage In adj
dition, unfavorable weather was re-
ported as prevailing in Europe. Bears
took what comfort they could through
prospects of a large increase in the
visible supply. Primary receipts were
1.20S, 900 bushels: year ago. 1,409,0
bushels. Seaboard clearances of wheat
aud -four equaled S26. 900 bushels.
Longs unloading on an advance
wiped out most of an early rise In
oats. Sales from the interior were
comparatively light.
Provisions assembled on account Of
purchasing believed to be for European
account. The foreign buying was
chiefly of lard.

The Financier says:
Despite some losses OF cash from week
TO week. due to usual seasonal demand.
the New York clearing house banks are
maintaining an unusually strong posi-
ton as regards reserve. The statement
mada by these institutions for the week
ending August II indicated contraction
of cash amounting TO Sl.62s.uOO a merely
nominal increase of $40l 900 in loans and
decrease OF So $4,000 in net deposits.
The result OF these changes was to de-
crease excess reserves by $685.. 4JO. leav-
ing the present surplus above the D
per cent required minimum $24 sos. zoo
IL Is worthy of note that among the
changes in the statement this week was
a decrease of $4,000 in circulation. this
at a time when above all seasons sx-
pansion rather than contraction might be
looked for. The decrease represents
probably only the carrying out Of some
policy by one bank, but 1t shows how
far out OF harmony the present national
bank note issue is with seasonal re-
Quirements.
