Irregular with no amterial changes.
Wheat showed a nervous tonethroughout.
1t was said by one observer that the bulls
were afraid Of the present high level, and
that nobody wanted to sell short. At the
opening prices worked sharply off on lower
cables from Liverpool. but recovered on
confirmation Of export sales and renewal
Of the foreign demand today. Tho public,
reported coming In last Monday, apparently
had lost interest. Argentina reported Ia
vornbie weather. but the Rosario market
was up 3Mc The recent advance there was
taken TO indicate that Europe was getting
little relief from high prices from that
quarter
IN the corn pit there was sentiment
today balanced as the proper level OF prices
and a. . consequence fluctuations were mar
row most Of the day. Prices dipped early
on rains, but recovered with wheat early
In the session. Tho government crop bull
ietin also reported Improvement where rains
did not arrive too late.
Oats were well supported by spectator,
and cash houses and registered small
gain for the day. There was q big trade

NEW YORK STOCKS
Profit Taking Acts as Check
on Active Market Of
Day.
STEEL THE MAIN PIVOT

New York, Aug. 23.--Profit taking acted
q check on today's active market, but was
not especially active until the final hour,
when many Of the days gains were re-
duced or completely efaced. Short selling
Induced in partly by the delay in the rail
road negotiations at Washington. also
served to bring about the late reversal.
United States Steel was again the main
pivot about which the market for the most
part reyolyed. That stock made new
maximum on Its advance Of IN to eh,
from which II fell back to s7M. the clos
ing quotation. Dealings In steel were SO
extensive a. to oyershadow every other
feature Of the market, aggregating 100000
out Of total of 1,075,000 shares.
Demand for rails was most insistent In
the forenoon. Union Pacific leading at a
gross gain Of IN, with . further inquiry
other callers, st. Paul and Great Northern.
All these issues yielded to the pressure OF
the afternoon, together with coppers. Mexl-
cans and some OF the remote war issues.
Shipping shares and the automobile divi-
sion were again subject to concerted selling
movements, the former by reason OF rumors
indicating another reduction In ocean
freight rates and the latter as result OF
tho new stock offering Of the Willy's-ov-
erland. Bethlehem Steel stood out among
the high priced speoialties by Its further
gain Of ~ to 4ssx and Cuban American
sugar lost as much with a moderate recov-
cry at the end There was less activity In
miscellaneous or unclassified stocks. those
issues showing no material changes. A
slight shading Of rates to Berlin and vienna
marked the only change In foreign remit
tances. dealings In sterling DIS ana francs
being extremely light.
Anglo French IS were again the sole feat.
