It is'a dis- puted question whether the West will need as much money as anticipated for this pur- pose.

CHICAGO, Aug. 27.—Wet weather In Eng- | 1ana and reparts of fallare of the wheat crop in one of the grain producing provinces of Rus- sia were given as reasons for the Liverpool quotations of wheat, showing an advance of from %d for September to %d for December. | The advance on the other side, where a decline | had been confidently looked for, was the prin- | cipal reason for higher prices at the opening | | here. Behind the improvement at Liverpool | there was the still abiding cause of anxiety to | short sellers for September in the existing scarcity of the grain In commercial channels. Comparatively heavy recelpts in the Northwest was the qualifying condition of affairs at the start that the bears took comfort from and prevented anything like penic among them from the dieturbingly small amount of store. The week’s shipments of wheat and flour from | both coasts was reported at 3,363.47 bushels, bushels the previous compared to 3,988,000 | wesk.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: Considering | that the settlement Is to begin on Monday next the stock market here to-day was decidedly firm. Americans were agaln notably strong, the feature being the rise in Wabash, Unfon Pacific and Denver and Rio Grande shares. It is expected that the settlement will show a much larger account in Americans, the amount carried for Berlin being decidedly large. Con- tansoes, however, probably will be light, be- cause of easy money. The strength of Brazils and Argentines continues. Siiver is lower. It is sald in good quarters that the Spanish orders have come to an end for the present, Spain having bought over 10,000 pounds of silver. So much speculation is going on in silver, how ever, that all reports are unreliable. CLOSING. Canadian Pacific, 88%; Grand Trunk, T4. Bar Silver, quiet, 27%d. Money, % per cent.
