tinued to move steadily upward regard

ing naturally was restricted. pending
outcome of Fridays conferences. the

Rails continued to love ahead as a

the greatest strength was shown In sn-
dustriaIs, several of which made new
high records. Bumper crop prospects

Rumley preferred and manufactures OF

points. Sears-Roebuck and Montgom-

Spouse to the same influences.

while United Sttaes Alcohol went to a
new high level on reports OF increased
duction. Equipments, like BALDWIN

Electric. bettered their positions, pre-
sumably in response to further orders
by railroad companies.
Shippings were up over a point. Gu
ban sugar stocks also displayed a
stronger tone. indicating an end of the
pressure which followed the senate's
adoption of a higher tariff duty on the

radius Of nearly 6 points, was up Az
points for the day.
Call money opened and renewed at
~ per cent, the highest rate since
July s. but it dropped progressively to
81, the closing quotation. The recent
fluctuations in the rate have been at
tributed to the seasonal demand for

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Aug. lin absence of buy

day to prices below any heretofore
| touched this season. The close was
unsettled at Ia cent to 1% cents ne,
decline, with September $1oss to
$1.O4& and December s1.04A to s1.05
Corn lost one cent to IL cent and
oats nov to rs cent. In provisions
the outcome varied from SsAc off to
Weakness in the wheat market was
most apparent during the last &c
minutes Of trading but a downward
tendency of values had been shown
from the start. The fact that Liver
pool quotations failed to reflect Thurs
days advance here counted against the
bulls, and so likewise did slowness OF
export demand. Bids for wheat to be
exported by way of the Gulf OF Mexico
were so unattractive as to make II more
profitable for Illinois points to forward
wheat to Chicago. a circumstance which
seemed likely to cause a material In
crease Of movement to this market.
Primary receipts Of wheat were again
in excess of last year, and arrivals from
new spring crop were reported as
harvesting in the northern portion of
the spring crop belt was said to be
making excellent progress witt yields
generally good. 1t was officially esti-
mated that the Canadian crop would
be 10000, 900 bushels larger than last
year but on the other hand, the esti-
mate was 10000, 600 bushel less than
the trade here had expected.
Corn and oats reflected the action of
wheat. Dealings were almost entirely
local.
Provisions averaged higher with hogs
and as a result Of some export buying
OF meats.
The prices Of futures ranged as fol-
lows:

New York. Aug. 11.-Aside from
strength in a few isolated quarters, the
stock market today showed no particu-
lar change in its general trend. Senti-
men: was more favorable a. regards
an early settlement Of the coal strike
and news items Of the day seemed to
lend color to the belief Of an early ad-
justment In the coal situation. The
railroad situation was not f~avorably
interpreted but the general attitude 10
one Of waiting. Among special issues
which reached new high levels for the
current yea were Sears Roebuck, Unit
ed States Industrial Alcohol, Ipterna-
ttonal Harvester n International Pa
per, buying being mainly inspired by
the expectation Of increased earnings
for the aforementioned companies. The
so-called Mexican oil issues were fea-
lures on the upside on what looked k
heavy short covering. 1t does not seem
unreasonable to anticipate a continu-
nee of irregular tendencies in the
stock market pending definite Develop
ments in the domestic situation.-Lo-

New York. Aug. U.-Dun's. Saturday,
will say:
THE uncertainties Of the labor situ-
alton, continuing for still another
week, have not ~unnaturally imposed
further restraint Of business activities.
Various encouraging features that
would otherwise attain prominence
are overshadowed by existing strikes.
which compel wide attention and SEN
timent is unfavorabiy affected. With
the outcome of tho industrial contro-
versy in doubt different interests are
disinclined to take new important COM
mittments, the disposition being TO
defer aggressive action and not q few
transactions are prevented by the OBJ
stacles Of restricted production and re-
tarded shipments. Inability TO secure
needed material In regular channels
leads to the seeking Of new sources
OF supply in some Instances with the
placing Of orders Of an emergency
character and premiums frequently rule
