COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL It Wasa Wildly Bullish Seesion in All the Grain Markots, HEAVY ADDITIONS MADE TO PRICES An Corn There Was an Unusually Heavy Trade and an Active, Nervous, Un- sottled Markot, with Prices Very Irregular. CHICAGO, Aug. 7.—It was a wildly bullish session in all the grain markets and heavy additions were mad prices. Corn led s It has been doing of late, and sold for Beptember as high as 60c per bushel when wheat was still being quoted at b6e. 1t closed at b9%e, or 63%c above its value at the cor- responding time yesterday. May corn rested with a gain of Wheat caught the fever when the session was about half over and gained 2%c, winding up with to the good Oats rose from 2%c to and provisions also made a handsome advance. Wheat was more active within a higher range. The fecling developed was stronger, being Influenced altogethér, as was the case yesterday, by the action of corn, the price being helped and sustained by the course of that cereal. Opening trades were at from %e to lc advance and soon sold up 13c more under an urgent demand, eased off from ¢ to 1%c, rallied 2c, changed some, ruled steady and closed with September at 57%. There was not much news In the marke the on passage figures showed an increa: of 672,000 bushels and carly public cables were a little steadier. Private cables quoted Liverpool quiet, rather steadier and the weather showery, with shipments Increas ing. and the closing very firm on bad weather,being 54 up. The wet weather abroad was about the only new feature. Local re- geipts were about as expected and the estl mate for tomorrow, still at 760 cars, Outside markets were all higher. Receipts i the northwest were smaller. In corn there was an unusually heav trade and an active, nervous, unsettled mar- Ket, with prices very irregular. Fluctuations Were covered at from 47%c to b¥e range and changed suddenly and frequently within these limits. The opening was most excited and wild, all kinds of prices being paid, values varying from 2 to Jc at the same time in different parts of the crowd. It the most excited opening In over a year and with few exceptions the most frregular on record. Local shorts evidently began to realize the seriousness of their position and many hastened to provide for outstanding contracts at the tap of the bell today. [nitial transactions were at from 11 to 1%c above the final figures of yesterday and instantly sold to 60c for September and B9%e for May, back to 56c and 52%ac respec- tively, all within the' first 15 minutes of the gession. Prices afterwards advanced 1%c, ensed oft lge, rallied from 2c to 2%c, changed some, and closed with September at F9t%e. There was no rain in the corn belt, outside of a little at Valentine, Neb., and temperatures were all considerably higher. The fact that the citizens of Nebraska have petitioned the governor for aid for the growers in the central part of that state Whose crop was ruined by the drouth con- firms the reports of damage from that sec- tion, and the trade is beginning to give advices from the west more serious consid- eration, The above news was among the many factors which had a good deal to do With today’s sudden and sharp bulge. There were all Kinds of orders executed at the start, stop loss orders being numerous, many of which could not be executed at anything like the limits given. Shorts, in their fran- tic efforts to cover and in the absence of offerings, bid the price up 2¢ at a jump, the price of September ten minutes after the opening being at oS¢ and Glc at the same time. During the excitement the trade centered largely in May and Septem- ber and it was most difficult to trade in any of the other deliveries, October and De- cember for some minutes after the market opened had subsided somewhat. The local forecast did not predict any moisture for elther Towa or Illinois, but the signal service at Washington predicts showers for Ne- braska and for Towa tonight, also showers Wednesday. ' The prediction caused prices to hold a while, but did not last long and soon afterwards again soared higher. There was gome local realizing on the advance, but interior longs in most instances are still holding out. Outside markets were all up, New York advancing from 3lc to 4c and Bt. Louls from dc to 4lc. Cables came in with 2d advance on both spot and futures. Oats were active and excited, with a wild rush at the opening to buy. The market de- rived all its strength from the advance in corn. The range for September was Zc. Provisions were more active and stronger on the bulge in corn. A reaction in the middle of the session was overcome by good demand and the finish was near the top Compared with last night, September pork 18 17%c higher, September lard 12%c higher 2140 3¢ Pork e bbi Jan, ool Lard, 100 104; Aug,.

STOCKS AND BOND &, More A ation on the Exchange Was Not Very Active Yesterduy, NEW YORK, Aug. 7.—Speculation dh the tock exchange was not very active at any period of the day, but It was during the first and last hours of business that the trading was mainly done, the market being decidedly stagnant In the Interim. After a steady opening, except for Sugar and Northwest- ern, which were down % and % per cent re spectively, prices began to move upward, Burlington & Quincy alone not participating in the rise. A pressure to sell was notice- able in this stock and the sales were heavy and mostly for the short account, a renewal of the rumors that the next dividend would be scaled encouraging the bear clique to further efforts to depress the property. A gain of % per cent had been made in the shares In the opening trading and the_ sell- ing caused a loss of 5 per cent to in the first quarter of an hour, and up to noon the price fluctuated between that and 70%. During the afternon the short interest be- gan to cover, with the result of causing an appreciation in the values of shares, which at the close had reacted 1% per cent from the low point of the morning and % per cent above last night's closing price. Sugar quick- ly recovered the early loss, but was not prominent in the dealings during the fore. noon and not until in the afternoon did it take a leading place in the trading. There had been a qulet advance in progress, but about 2 o'clock the bull clique in the stock, taking advantage of the geheral strength of the market, rushed the stock up to 107%, a gain of 214 per cent on the opening. Re- alizing gales subsequently caused a reaction of % per cent, followed by a full recovery and a final recession of % per cent, making the gain on the day 13 per cent. The buy- ing in Sugar which started the upward turn was on Washington orders, but was not ac- companied, as is usually the case, by favor- able tariff rumors. In fact there was little, if any, street reports on the sugar schedule today, but the good buying in the stock of by the Washington houses brought the traders into the market as purchaser Distillers was sold down 1% per cent dur- ing the morning on the belief that the tarift bill would fail and the trust would lose thereby the advantage to be gained by the proposed increase in the spirits tax. ~Mod- erate buying at the decline resulted in a rally of % per cent. The publication of the June report of St. Paul, which showed but a small loss in the net earnings, was the means of attracting buyers to the shares, which, after an opening loss of % per cent, rose 7 per cent, closing at the best point touched. Rock Island and Northwestern each gained % per cent on the day. The general market was in the main firm and closed % to 1 per cent higher than yester- day. e The bond market was easy dealings, but closed firmer. The Evening Post's London cable says: The stock markets were quiet today after the holiday, but cheerful in tone, with good investment buying. Americans were strong, except Atchison, which was sold from Am- sterdam. Prices finished a shade under the best. Consols sold at 102t%. The unpre- cedentedly cheap money is likely to continue for the remainder of the year. Although silver is quoted lower, the tone is really very strong. China Is buying largely, and for far-ahead delivery. It Is believed that silver will possibly see a good rise, as India is also buying. The Evening Post says: Beginning very dull, today’s stock market seemed in the afternoon to move solely on the basis of a sudden awakening of speculative sentiment. Burlington and Rock Island stocks rose rap- idly, along with the advice in corn, and St. Paul with the advance in wheat. The sud- den upward rush of Sugar certificates in 3 the closing hour was probably a mere effort | 4....1050 to take advantage of the prevailing senti- | ment. In short, this was one of those occa- | = sions, but not unprecedented, when specu- lative fever everywhere seems to run in one direction.

On the bottoms this crop is holding its own and will yield well generally. Chinch bugs are doing dam- age in many localities. Hall and wind, which prevailed during the weel, injured the crop in some sections. Threshing of oats and wheat is still progressing, A ciaed improvement is reported in the con- dition of pastures wher 0 fell. The fruit crop will be light. Gardens have also revived and are improving slowly. Potatoes will vield less than wai anticl- pated. Where the ground I8 in good con- dition, plowing for winter wheat is in pro- gress.
