THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. Jack Frost Takes a Hand in the Wheat Pit. PRICES MATERIALLY STRONGER. Corn Follows the Lead of Wheat— Oats Active — Provisions Much Improved—Cattle and Hogs in Good Demand. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cnicago, August 17.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bee.|—The wheat market opened up 3{@3c higher this morning on reports of frosts in the northwest. Judging from the signal service map and from private advices from a great many points the district visited by frosts embraces the northern half of Dakota, the northwestern quarter of Minne- sota and practically all of Manitoba. The temperature throughout that district ranged from 20 to 86 degrees, and one-quarter inch of ice is reported from several points, Frost is reported as far south as Aberdeen, thus showing that the southern line is somewhat ragged and irregular, The extent of the damage can as yet only be guessed at, but the plant in the northern territory was cer- tainly not in condition to stand a freeze with out injury. This frost news was the most sensational feature of the day, and unques- tionably stimulated speculative inquiry to considerable extent. Commission mer- chants reported mcreased business from every quarter and a general desire on the part of the bears to cover was mani- fested. The buying was not all to satisfy this demand, however, for if it had been the market would have broken all to piec On the part of the vast majority of “Jongs” there was an overpowering disposi- tion to realize profits. Local bulls unloaded largely, and most of the New York houses that have been conspicuous buyers from Slc up sold steadily through the session. Locai scalpers got long early in the day, aud sev- eral times durimg the day when the prices for September got below 84'gc it looked as though they were preparing to run, but the outside support was so strong that recovery followed immediately every time. Fluctu ations during two-thirds of the session were within 847 @845{c for September, and 8715@ 87l¢e for December. The market was ex- ceedingly mervous and treacherous, and brokers were evidently loaded with orders to fit almost every condition. Within the narrow range prices bobbed about inces- sautly. The reaction for whick tiw icaders were playing didn't eventuate, and a great many concluded to advauce their buying limit when they saw the market acting stub- bornly. The top was reached soon after the opening, when September touched 847¢c, and December 87i%c. Hutchinson was a large buyer early on the reaction, taking possibly 1,000,000 bushels from 8137c to 841gc. 1is brokers happened to be in the pit just in time to catch wheat that Cudab were offering. The market developed amaz- ing and unexpected powers of absorption. The closing range was practically at the bot- tom for the day, bub the bottom is a full 3¢c above yesterday's last prices, and ¢ above %A‘uu-xdny s average. The bulk of trade to- day was_doue fully lc above yesterday’s av- erage. September closed at $4'ge and De- cember at 874c. The dealings in a specula- tive way were on a large scale, the market being broader than for some days past. The corn market was strong and higher to- day and at times there was a display of con- siderable nervousness, accompanied by speculative activity. ' The speculative strength seemed to be largely the outgrowth of a fear lest the boundaries of the frost area be extended into the northern corn belt, in which event :rel'. damage must necessarily result. There a8 been no damage yet, but fear is as potent a factor sometimes as reality. It will not do to say that the feeling in corn is genuinely bullish, for such is not the case, but the variable veterans in trade are trimm{ng their sales to be in readiness to meet any emer- gency. They do not anticipate a real frost- scare, but should one occur they do not pro- se to be caught sleeping. Hutchinson gured on both sides of the market and he sccmed quite as much at sea as any of the Jittle fellows. Prices receded ){c from the extreme outside and closed 3g@3c higher than yesterday or the opening range, which was the bottom for the day. September ranged at 44){@i5%c and closed at 443c. Oummr ranged at 44}g@ddle, closing at O ere fatkly aitiva sud & {(@lgc higher. Receipts were smaller than nnllu pated, and fair buying orders were noted for future delivery. The market sympathized with other cereals, and only at advanced figures did sellers appear. The inspection shect ex- hibited something of an improvement in q\lnlll% with 41 cars of No. 2 outof a total of 155, This month at one time sold up l¢c, ruling easier later, with September in fair request at 4 @3c advance, while there was an improved inquiry for year and May, with the latter selling up 4c. No. 2 oats in store ‘were in moderate request at 25'4c, or }§c ad- vance, with sales largely by sample, The provision trade witnessed a remark- able recovery of l'flllfl((QHL . Trading opened at an advance in prices and with an improved showing of activity, and at the morning call sales were made of 2750 bar- rels of pork, 11,250 tierces of lard and 700,000 birrels’ of short ribs. Public business was comparatively active from the start. The shorts covered freely. Hutchin- son and other heavy holders were liberal buyers, and among traders generally the long side was regarded with great favor. Outside purchases were also larger than on any day for over a week. Trading, in @ word, was more than sufficient to be interest- nd while extreme outside prices tonched ot maintained, the market sustained a al appreciation. Private and public from the south reported the subsi- d of the excitement over yellow fovi and all indications favored increased buy on consumptive account. In fact the orders received to-dag showed a marked improve- ment, and of meats quite a large amount was taken for southern distribution. In pork the day's fluctuations covered a range of 15@2c, and in lard and short ribs 10c. The inside prices prevailod at the opening, ana the ighest quoted weve before the noon hour. Based on day's closings the advance actually lished amounted to 240 ¢ on pork, 7 @10¢ on lard, and 12}4c on short ribs. CHICAGO LAVE STOOK. CuicAGo, August 17.—|Special Telogram to Tue Bee.|—CArrie—Business was active and prices steady on prime cattle, with a shight upturn on lower grades of natives, Texans and rangers. Although the run shows 8 large increase over last week, the same was much lighter than looked for this mora- ing. Kansas City showed up rather strong in receipts, but at St. Louis and Owaha the supply was light. Texans were quoted a good 10¢ higher, and common grades of na- tives followed, to & certain extent, the ad- vance on Texans, There were only about twenty-five loads of northern range cattle among the arrivals, and they sold at satisfac tory prices, quality considered. There was & fair demand for butchers’ and can- r‘s stock, The stocker and trade, although not ut all showed slight -|fn- of improvement. calves arrived in large numbers, with prices 25@30c lower than last week. The receipts ncluded 2,100 Texans and western cattle, Choice to extra beeves, §6.20@0.50; medium 10 good steers, 1360 to' 1500 1bs, #5.63@6.00; 1200 to 1350 1ba, $4.80@5.50; 960 to 1200 1bs, $1.90@4.65; stockers and feeders, §2.00@3.50; cows, bulls ana wixed 1.80@3.10; bulk, §2.00 @2.50.

St. Paul was the first to give wa but the whole list soon followed. The vol- ume of bnsiness was a little larger than yes- terday morning, though not a great deal. Heavy selling by Chicago houses broke Lake Shore, and that stock soon led the list with a material decline. Northwestern was again on the down grade with St. Paul, and during the first half hour dropped nearly 1 point, the rest of the active stocks following, though not to that extent. There was, after the early depreciation, a slight rally and a little steadier feeling, but toward noon it be- came unsettled once more and was rather feverish, Temporary reactions for the bet- ter, though they were small, recurred at short intervals, but as a rule the recovery not maintained and further losses were recorded in Gould stocks and Grangers as the day wore away. Coalers, however, were comparatively steady, and bear attacks on them were without much effect. The rail- road situation did not show any improve- ment. Intrunk lines the Vanderbilts, in- stead of advancing, reduced the cattle rate and also the d ed beef rate to New York, with some prospect of & reduction in grain rates. The break that occurred in the morn- ing was taken advantage of by the bears to cover short lines and about 10,000 shares of St. Paul and other stocks were bought in. In the afternoon a crop scare was worked by the bears, and the market went off rather sharply with Grangers and Lake Shore well in the lead. he final close was weak at about the lowest prices of the day, St. Paul showing @ loss of 11, Northwestern 1%, Omaha 114, Lake Shore 14, Missouri Pacific 15¢ and the gencral list 1%, as compared with che opening.
