WHEAT HIGHER IN CHICAGO

visions Split Changes.

Chicago, Aug. lO.-Although the war
fever to-day sent the wheat market

known since the crisis began, the rise
was out of all proportion TO the amount
of business. The trade is still good

II did not take much selling 10 bring
about decided reaction from the top
prices. The close was unsettled at "a

finished at a net decline of B02ssc,
oats off IA nc, and provisions irregu-
lar, ranging from 90c loss TO a rise Of
17iac. Piling up of the domestic WISH
BILE supply Of wheat tended somewhat
TO sober buyers, who had been cheered
by detailed plans of British and Bel
gian government guarantees against
war risks. IL was also pointed out that
in regard to -four, If not grain, the
methods outlined contained important
defects, which for the time being would
hinder any longer resumption of ex-
ports. One Of the prospective difficult
ties was that railroads would not issue
through bills of fading and that no
steamship lines were as yet mentioned
as having been approved.
1t was a nervous and erratic market
in corn. Opinion differed greatly at
times as 70 whether rains had been
sufficient to materially benefit the
growing crop. In the end the trade
was governed chiefly by the fact that
country selling had increased. Profit
taking by longs was the main feature
of the oats trade. Realizing sales by
holders of pork and ribs more than Off

ing at the highest point since 1910.
Lard remained in demand from start to

when exchange was high, until the fall
and winter months. No information
was forthcoming from yesterdays CON
ferences, but II is supposed that an eX-
change of credits will be arranged with
London similar TO that made between
New York and Paris late last week.
The United States Steel Corpora
tons figures of its untitled tonnage at
the enc Of July attracted but little at
tention, though they were considerably
below expectations. Against estimates
ranging around 100000 tons there was
an actual increase IN orders on hand
Of only l25.732 tons. II the European
war did not confuse the outlook il is
probable, however, that the fact of a
second consecutive increase in orders
after eighteen months OF almost unin-
tcrrupted decreases would weigh more
in sentiment than any disappointment
ever the failure Of the betterment TO
realize too high hopes. The decrease
Of 29,S16 in the number of idle cars
on the railroads Of the United States
and Canada, as OF August 1, was re-
ceived in the Street with q satisfaction
tempered by the belief that the change
since that date, with a practical en-
hargo on export shipments, could hard
iy have been for the better.
Tomorrow the Federal Reserve
Board, which became q definite organi-
zation yesterday, will meet the Presi-
dent and Immediately afterward set
about its labors, of which the first 20
be accomplished are the naming Of di-
rectors IN Class c for the district

TEN will be in working order early in

COTTON TRADE
LESS ACTIVE
Local Deals Nearly Settled, but
Foreign Interest Not
All Adjusted.

The local cotton trade is still work
ing on the problem % adjusting the in
ternational interest left outstanding
when the exchanges closed a week ago
last Friday. The diminishing activity
noted in ringing out trades on the
floor suggests that further progress is
being made in this direction at the
moment, but il is hoped that negotia-
tons between the committees Of the
New York and Liverpool markets will
soon result in a workable basis for ad-
justing the remaining interest. Mean
while all sorts of proposals with ref
erence to the proper measures for
financing the new crop are being made,
with no general expectation that any
definite action will be taken until
after the meetings which are being
held in Washington this week.
Yesterdays cables from Liverpool
reported sales of 1000 bales in the spot
market there, with prices unchanged
at 6.50d for American middling. These
transactions, however, were considered
without any material bearing upon the
spot situation in primary markets. 1t
is reported that there were small sales
Of strict middling new crop, for Au
gust shipment from Texas TO Eastern
4
on Saturday, but, generally speaking,
local spot men say that they still find
it impossible TO put through any bust
ness in spot cotton, and il was sug
gested that the sales referred to were
for the purpose of filing near by re-
Quirements. Press advices from the
South said that buyers representing
foreign houses were entirely at sea
over the situation, and that in most
instances they had received orders to
suspend all operations, pending fur
Their notice. The directors OF the Liver
pool Cotton Association decided yester-
day that, owing TO the improvement in
financial conditions, cotton might be
sold with the usual ten days allowed
for payment, but if any buyer is over
due with an earlier payment he must
provide a bank guarantee for new bust
ness. British Board of Trade returns
for July showed yarn exports in eX-
cess of last year by about 100000
pounds, while the exporss of cloths
showed a falling off of about 100000
yards. This, of course, reflected con-
ditions prevailing before the outbreak
Of European hostilities, and reports OF
an increasing number of idle spindles
and looms in Lancashire doubtless re-
feet the decentralization of shipping
and exchange facilities. Naturally, the
first efforts of Europe will be 70 ar
range for the trade in foodstuffs, but
after the food supply has been taken
care of Great Britain will doubtless
look after the conservation of her big
interests in cotton goods. To-day's
weather news was regarded as gener-
ally favorable, from a new crop stand
point.

HAMBURG AMERICAN
LOAN STILL In AIR
Bankers Deny Its Signifi-
canoe as Relating to
German Credits.

Concerning the reported negotiations
between the Hamburg-American Line
and New York bankers for $4,000, 600
loan, one Of the bankers interested said
yesterday that the transaction was
purely local one and would be con-
sldered of minor Importance in normal
times. This banker said that the ne
gotiations had not been ended and that
they had no international significance
relating to the establishment Of Ger
man credits in this city.
The National City Bank announced
yesterday that it was prepared to make
remittances to Switzerland on gold dc.
rcslts here to be paid out in the form
of Swiss banknotes by the Swiss Ma
tional Bank.
Although there are continued at
tempts TO do business in the foreign
exchange market, and some transac-
tons in grain bills actually have been
consummated, great difficulty is still
experienced in realizing upon the
credits resulting from merchandise ex-
ports. These obstacles hamper the
bankers in their efforts to restore nor
NAL conditions.
A cable message advising grain ex-
porters that the Belgian government
will cover war risks on wheat has been
received from the Department of For
eign Affairs at Brussels by Pierre Mali,
the Belgian Consul here. He an
nounced that Belgium would make eff
forts to have exports of grain con-
tinued from the United States. The
cable follows:
LET American exporters of wheat
know that Belgian credit remains nm
impaired, and that England has advised
that all boats with wheat come direct
TO Antwerp without stop, all payments
being assured as in time Of peace"
