Demand From Exports Sent Wheat on Upward
 Suing tn Chicago Pit
By Associated Press

Chicago August Wheat took d decided upward swing in price today, helped by an active demand from ex- porters and domestic millers. The finish, although unsettled, was 2A to 2%c net higher. Corn gained l40 ss to 1c and oats 14 @2s to F 70 ssc. In provisions the outcome varied from 1oc decline to PIC advance
 At first the wheat market showed a tendency to continue yesterdays fall in prices. but conditions were speedily reversed when> signs began to appear that substantial buying orders were being executed both for European shipment and for the mill i- ing industry at home Strong export demand as far ahead as November was indicated at the Gulf of Mexico and 1t was said that ,000, 900 bush els had been worked for export from Atlantic cities. Meanwhile the mill ing demand was associated with word from Minneapolis that a good busi- ness in flour wag in way Additional crop reports from North Dakota were untaVorable, and low temperature in Canada gave rise to near of frost damage. High prices of the day were reached just before the close. Corn as well as wheat was in much request for export leading short was said to have bought September corn on big scale. oats merely re- flected the course of other grain. Packers support did a good deal to rally the provision market from weakness due to a severe break in the value of hogs.

IRON AND STEEL REVIEW

Cleveland, O., August 11-(Special) The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Buying interests in iron and steel have been more pronounced the past week, and has added further encour- agement to the hope that July will prove to have marked the low point in output and bookings.
 Inquiry has undergone noticeable increase and sales have been heavier in most lines Tonnage closed, how ever, has been in much less volume than requests for prices, indicating that buyers, while more appreciative of attractiveness of the prevailing market. are feeling their way and moving slowly. Lower figures of S35. S2 against those shown by com posite market average of the Iron Trade Review this week compares with $36 56 a week ago, $3S.12 for all July and s41,S7 for all June in gots. h. July the output was at the rate of 11.S70,00 tons annually.
 Broader pig Iron inquiry than the market has brought forth in some weeks now is current. The best sign is increased shipping instructions from consumers generally. Chicago, where sales of the week are esti- mated at 15,000 tons, reports one of the most active periods of the year. About as much tonnage was closed at Buffalo. Two ,Pittsburg sanitary manufacturers have bought what is understood to be a round tonnage.
 British makers have cut price of ferro manganese s10 per ton to $65 Atlantic seaboard. German ferro- manganse, reported to have been of- fered at s64 Pittsburg.
 Railroad buying has been less con spicuous this week, but inquiry is considerable. Requests for bids on about 1000 additional car repairs are pending. New York Central has dis tributed orders against the 5000 and coco tons recently inquired for.
 A Pittsburg independent has re- ceved an order for 22,000 kegs of spikes.
 The weekly market cable from Eu- rope reports important purchases by British works of German steel and pig iron. United States Steel Prod ucts company will furnish 14,000 tons of S5-pound rails to the Chinese gov ernment.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON


 New Orleans, August 11.--Whlle cotton market was depressed during the whole of today's session it be- came very steady in the late trad ing and recovered strongly so that last prices showed net losses of but to points whereas, at the low est levels, prices were 29 to 31 points under the close of yesterday Octo- Der traded down to 12.49c and closed at 12.7Sc.
 The main reason for the selling was the circulation of the most va que sort of rumors of financial troubles in the north, and they were all the more effective because they they so vague, Messages from New York said that the rumors had no foundation.
 Opening prices were lower in sym pathy with lower Liverpool than due. After the opening the rumors came into play and later on offer ings increased because of the unfav- orable showing of British exports for July, and a private bureau forecas st of 42s.ooo bales as the consumption during July by American mills in the report due from the census bureau Monday, against 62,0o0 bales in June. Private cablegrams said that exports of yarns from Great Britain during July amounted to only 5000. 900 pounds against 15.S00.000 during July of last year and that exports of cloths amounted to 177,500, GOO yards against 395, 200, ,000. In the late trading shorts took profits and promptly put pricO up on themselves. The continued drouth in Texas was at all times steady influence.

SHARP REACTION
 WASFOLLOWEDBY
 HEAVY RECOVERY
General List Closed Firm, Net Six Points Lower to Seven Points
 Higher
By Associated Press

Now York, August 11.-A sharp re- action was followed by an almost complete recovery In the cotton mar ket today. December contracts, which sold off to 13.36c, or s5 points net lower, and approximately 50 points below the recent high level, rallied to 13.6Sc, and closed at 1S.S5c, compared with 13.71c at the close yesterday. The general list closed firm, net six points lower to seven points higher
 The market opened easy at de- cline of 9 to IS points under scatter ing liquidation, southern and Liver pool selling. A continued good spot demand was reported in the Liver pool market, but futures there were lower than due, and comparatively slight early rallies in the local mar ket on bullish reports from the goods trade and high temperatures in the southwest, were followed by feeling reported in the earlier stock market probably was reflected in some of the Wall street selling, While there were scattered local selling on prospects for cooler weather in Texas. Some stop orders were un- covered on the decline, which car ried October off to 12.91c and Janu- ary to 13.40c early in the afternoon, or about S3 to 35 points below .ast nights closing. The pressure then became much less active, suggesting that nervous long accounts had been pretty well liquidated and the mar ket advanced sharply on covering. There was also active buying by brokers, who might have been ope-- ating for either western or Japanese account, and which may have been partly due to the late advices in the grain market. Rumors of bullish private midmonth conditions fig ures we're indefinite. but probably contributed to the recovery which extended to 1S.27c for October and 1874 for January. Closing prices were within three or four points of the best. Local brokers attributed part of the eariser selling to belief that considerable cotton was availa- ble around present prices in the south and that hedges were beginning to reach the markets against an in- creasing new crop movement in Texas.

New York, August 1l.-An open ing advance of to ' points on the steadier showing of Brazil was fol- lowed by reactions in the market for coffee futures today.

By Associated Press

New York, August 11.-Encouraged by the success of yesterdays drive, speculators for the short account re- newed their operations today and brought about further decline. Trading was more active and the downward movement proceeded steady. An attempt late in the day to drive the shorts to cover failed to halt the recession. and the closing was weak.
 New low prices for the year were reached by number of issues, in cIuding American sugar, Utah copper, American International Gel-eral Electric and Central Leather pre- ferred
 Although railroad stocks sold off .'with the remainder of the list, heavi- ness was most pronounced among the industrials. Coppers, oil, equipments, 1 motors and sugars responded readily to pressure. The semi annual earn ings statement of general asphalt, { showing a deficit of more than $9o0- | 900 was the occasion for selling I these shares, forcing down the com mon and preferred about points each.

HUBBARD'S LETTER.

New York, August Special D. Reports of probable showers and cooler weather in the western belt brought some further liquidation to- day However, the detailed tempera- lures again showed very hot weather all over the western belt so that the market recovered most of it's loss.
 Our advices from the dry goods market indicate q steady improve ment in demand with mills stiffening up all along the line. The principal difficulty at the moment is lack of confidence in the local trade that any advance can be maintained when the new crop starts to move. It IS this very condition which will have the rcN erse effect later on because there is no long interest here to be liqu- dated at the same time that the crop is offered for sale.-Hubbard Bros. < Go.
