Prospeots of Hot Wea'her Damage <till a Factor in Speculative Cireles, WHEAT WAS MCRE ACTIVE YESTERDAY Corn Was Exeited and the Market Flucta- ated Wildly, the Feeling Ieing & Continuation of that Which Provalled Wednesday, CHICAGO, Aug. 2.—The dry, hot weatiier i8 still doing its destructive work in corn, and with a prospect unrelieved by any sign | consequent and 1%c markets also of Immediate gencral mdvance today of %o in wheat Beptember corn, with stronger for oats and provigions, resulted, Wheat was more active, prices covering a 1%ec range. The feeling was stronger and higher prices prevalled. The better feciing was attributed to the action of corn, the higher cables, reports of wet weather abroad and buying orders here for forelgn account The smaller arrivals and falling off ceipts at primary markets were also thing of a factor. Another fac'or was operators were less disposed to scll and also a feeling in some quarters that the market has turned and it will be difficuit keep the price down. The market with from %c to e advance, with 8 tember at 537%c, and sold down Ye, advanced from %c to e, declined from %e to rallied from %e to Te, cased off Ye, changed gome, ruled steady and closed at 54%c for Beptember, The export clearances were large. Belling at the advance caused temporary d clines, but the close was only Jgc from the day’s top figur Corn_was excited The feeling which prev of that of yesterday, and prices again soared higher. September shorts have evidently b come much alarmed at the situation and cov- ered freely, resulting in a sharp advance, and rluy sold up in sympathy. The somewhat hort recefpts, light sfocks, good cash de- mand, with the bulk of the regular corn sup- posed to be held largely by one interest, created considerable of a s'ir among local ghorts, who were anxious to cover and found very little for sale at times, local profes- sionals being less disposed to trade in t uture, and the most of the business was in May. The market opened from %c under to a trifle over last night's close, with Septem- ber at 47%c and May at 47c, and gradually advanced 2%c for September and 1%c for May, eased off from Sc to %c, rallied from %c to lc, changed some, ruled firm, and closed at 491kc for September and 48%c for May. The weather map ehowed that the “rain area is extending and the drouth galnz gradually broken, but lIowa and Ne- raska have practically had no relief as yet and in many places the crop in Iowa is past the help of rain. The outside markets were all higher and cables came in quoting ad- vances. The Washington forecast for the thirty-six hours was not very encouraging to shorts, indicating dry and warm condi- tions for Towa and Nebraska. Oats were active and stronger on good de- mand, scarce offerings and the bulge in corn. The range for Scptember was $c. Provisions were lower at the start on lib- eral live hog receipts, but firmed up on the advance in corn, closing near the top. Trad- ing was light. Compared with last night, September pork is 12%c higher, September lard Gc higher and September ribs Tlec higher. Frelghts—Vessel room for’ wheat and corn to Buffalo, %e.

Receipts today were in round numbers 1,000 cattle and 10,00 hogs. For the week thus far there have boen received 6,800 cattle, 83,500 hogs and 1,183 sheep, as against 8,002 cattle, 40,246 hogs and 1,277 shecp for the first four days of last week. While there has been a gain In the receipts of hogs this week there has been a decrease in cattle. The gain in hogs was all made on the first two days of the week. CATTLE—There were fat steers in the yards and practics market. It was claimed, however, there was a little more inquiry for of that than there was on yesterday, but butchers are still on a strike it is not able that many could have been prospect is now that the market very uncertain and the demand until the strike is settled. If the oid should return to work there would Le an immediate demand, in all probability, for cattle, but if the packers altempt to start up with what new men they can pick up the general opinion is that operations at first would not be very heavy, and that no great number of cattle of any kind would be required. Desirable butchers' stock was not in large supply, and the iour- ket on such was strong, the feeling being better. Common and rough stock was ne- glected. More favorable reports from the country to the effect that the drouth in many sections had been broken, and that th damage to the corn crop had been overes- timated, is producing a better feeling in the market for stockers and feedsrs. At the same time there is not much, if any, improvement in prices, which are still very low. Representative sales DRESSED BEEF. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

It was probably impossible for shippers to realize that a market that took care of 20,000 hogs on Tuesday could not handle a reason- able number on Thursday, but they will be better able to comprehend the situation when the returns for today's eales are received The local packers were out of the market entirely and shippers were the only buyers. While there was a fair shipping demand it did not come up to the offerings by a good deal, and sellers were forced (o make a liberal concession in prices. The market was uneven and fully 10c lower and in some cases 20c was taken off. The range in prices Is becom- ing wider and there is a great deal more sort- ing. The top hogs sold at $4.75, with the bulk at from $4.40 to $4.60. At the close there were still a good many hogs unsold, largely trash, for which there appeared to be no demand at any price.

Upon Investigation he found a shallow hole, with a man lying in it in an unconselous state. A bouquet of flowers lny upon his breast and a halt filled bottle of laudanum lay beside him. He was alive and after three hours' hard work fvas re stored to consclousness, It was certained that his name was Walker years old, living on Bra:ile street, Cambridge.

CHICAGO, Current in its w is difficult to slons as to the p Irreparable damage — Funeral of Miss Cotter. The remains of Miss Margarct A. Cotter, who died in Baltimore last Monday, ar- rived in the city Wednesday, accompanied by Mrs. Cotter and Miss Mollie Cotter, mother and sister of the deceased. The funeral services were held yoster- day at the Holy Family church, which was crowded with mourning friends of the family and associntes of the beloved dead A solemn high mass was celebrated by Rev. Father Hiliman and at its conclusion the reverend father delivered a touching ad- dross on the worthy charzcter and life of the deceased. The pall bearers were Messrs Charles F. Tuttle, Fred §. McCormick, Will Truckey, Fred C. Francis, John Dohaney, jr., Bert § Porterfield. Interment in Holy Sepulcher cemetery. The sudden and untimely death of Miss Cotter has evoked widespread sympathy and regret In this city. She had been il for some time, but nothing serious was feared, and it was confidently expected that the trip to Bal- timore for treatment would result in ecarly and complete restoration of health So strong was this confidence that none of her threc brothers accompanied her. Mother and sister were with her, but their affectionate care and attention wera of no avail. Death came to them with no less shocking suddenness than to the brothers then at Niagara Falls, and to anxious friends in this c'ty. Miss Cotter was a young lady of many ad- mirable traits. To a sweet, happy and buoy- ant disposition were added mental qualiti's of a high order. She was a graduate of the Immaculate Conception coavent of Daven- port, la, and was awarded the first gold medal issued in twenty years for superior work in_art. The sympathy of a wide circle of friends goes out to the family in their affliction. ————— Oregon Bank Assigns, ASTORIA, Ore., Aug. 2.—The banking house of I. W.
