ing interests apparently are ordering
only when necessity demands. The knit

ers and underwear. are operating eau
uously In placing orders, although 1t Is
believed that their reserves of yarns
are smaller than normal. The resistance
which purchasers are showing against
prevailing prices is causing ma 1ufactur-
ers much worry 1t is said. Although
prices continue firm and show promise
OF stiffening buyers still abstain from
ordering beyond actual requirements in
the belief that values will recede. While

Cotton Yarn Trade Inactive.

Activity In the cotton yarn market
continues on a small scale. Seesaw
movements In the raw cotton market
have reacted unfavorably on the yarn
entertaining the belief that cotton will
be lower. with a subsequent decline in
yarn quotations. They seem TO have
temporarily adopted the attitude of re-
framing from buying only what is
actually required They are willing to
place fair sized orders, however. where
ever concessions in prices are made by
manufacturers. The knitting trade is
buying little at the moment. although
stocks are in need OF Immediate re-
plenishment. The electrical trade also
is buying in a small way.

Raw silk Market Quiet.

The local raw silk market continues
quiet, with a certain amount OF buying
by interests who did not cover their
reeds ahead during the recent spell OF
activity says III. l.. Gwalter & Co.'s re-
view. Manufacturers In general have
been holding off their purchases be-
cause OF the strikes In the coal and rail-
road industries. The Yokohama market
was active at the end OF last week an ag-
gregate of about 1000 bales having been
sold. Since then the market has auieted
down, prices. however. remaining prac-
tically on the same basis. Stocks of
ready silk on August Is were $4,000
bales of white and 1900 bales of yellow.
while shipments up to that date
amounted to 4S,90o bales. OF which a.
200 bales went TO America.

CORN, HURT BY HEAT,
SENDS UP ALL GRAIN
Wheat Closes at High Point,
September at S1.08-Oats
Also Goes. Higher.

CHICAGO. Aug. 17.-Upturns In al
grain took place to-day owing largely to
reports that drought and heat were dam
aging corn. Dealers who previously had
been conspicuous sellers OF wheat and
corn executed rapid change Of front.
The wheat market closed firm. rs 20
ESQ net higher. with September LOB
and December 1.04ss to LOAN. Corn
gained 1ss to 2@2Ac and oats y q u
to No. Provisions finished from &c de-
cline to SO advance.
At first wheat showed a downward
tendency, which appeared to be related
to the adverse European financial coa-
ditions, especially new low price rec
ord for German marks 1t soon be-
came apparent, however, that a much
more powerful influence was the stub
born ascent of the corn market guided
by persistent damage complaints Soon
wheat too, began to climb In line win
corn The rise continued then through
out the day and wheat closed at the top
most figures.
Export buying of wheat here was esti-
mated at $4,000 bushels, and 1t was
said 100000 bushels more had been
taken at the seaboard. mostly for de-
ferred shipment from Gulf ports 20
Europe. Another bullish factor was a
falling off In primary receipts--perhars
because of the rail- strike. There. we're
suggestions current. however. that tho
crest Of the crop movement in the South
west had already passed.
Notwithstanding that rural offers Of
corn increased as prices bulged, the
corn market advance gave no sign of
being checked. South Dakota, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, llli-
nois, Indiana and Ohio were all said %
be in need of rain. Oats followed corn.
Provisions averaged lower with hogs.
