Light sprinkles of rain have fallen in some sections. and thunderstorms with heavy rain and hail have occurred in the mountain districts Grain harvest contirues in many sections and thrashing is in progress. There are large quantities of unthrashed wheat and barley and unbaled hay in sections where thrashers and balers are yet unobtainable, and there is some Canger that these crops may be seriously in- ured by early rai Nearly all sections e: cept Southern Califorria and portions of the morthern coast counties report heavy crops of wheat, barley and hay, all of superior quality. ing is progressing in many places: about average and the quali Sugar beet harvest continues in t €acramonto Valley. Beans, corn and vege- tables are in good condition. There are no further reports of injury to grapes by heat &nd it is_believed the damage dome was not serious.

Grapes have been considerably injured by heat in some sections, while in others little damage has been dome, owing to heavy foliage on the vines.

NEW YORK, Aus. 20.—The stock market was somewhat broader and more active to-day, but there was still no evidence of any large participation in the market by the general public or by great financial interests on a large scale. These questionable positions of the United States Steel stocks and the doubt- ful outiook for the labor situation are still a drag on the market, although the market for the United States Steel stocks themselves and the price movement are narrow. The market guardians of the stocks show themselves amply able to take charge of all the stock offered, £nowing that the company’'s shares have come to be closely held. But the supporters of the stocks are inclined to take profits on holdings thus acquired on any adyance in price and they bid up the prices when anything like an outside demand develops for the stocks. Under these grtificial conditions the movements of the stock have little significance. The gen- eral list showed a diposition to-day to ignore the steel stocks. The railroads concerned in the Northern Pacific settlements and others allied by identical ownership or otherwise re- sumed the leadership of the market to-day. This may have been based on a public report of 2 prolonged conference yesterday at Bar Harbor between the three financiers who con- ducted the Northern Pacific. contest and its scttlement. The Morgan and Harriman roads were generally affected in sympathy, includ- ing Illinois Central, Chicago and Alton, South- ern Railway and Chicago, Indianapolis and Louisville. ‘The anthracite carriers manifested some strength and the bituminous coal cai riers made gains although Norfolk and West- ern and Chesapeake and Ohio suffered from profit-taking. A sharp decrease in earnings of Norfolk and Western for the second week in August secmed to emphasize this disposition. Some large individual blocks of Southern Pa- cific, Union Pacific and St. Paul were taken in the last hour and those stocks rose 1%@1% over last night. The stock market continued o show sensitivencss to developments in the money and exchange market. A sharp recov- ery in sterling exchange this morning led to some reaction from the opening strength in stocks. Offerings of wheat bills were reported smaller in connection with reports of smalier seaboard wheat clearances which caused a re- action in the wheat market. But this influence was largely offset by the large receipts on account of Australian gold deposited at San Francisco. The sub-treasury’s debit balance at the clearing-house of $1,852,802 was caused by the receipt of checks against gold on the Pacific Coast to the amount of $1,400,000. A further shipment of $2,500.000 is on the way to San Francisco from Sydney. This makes it evident that the London market will find a wey to meet its gold obligations to New York without stress and possibly without actual shipments of gold. It is to be noted, however, that United States treasury operations con- tinued to drain the money market, the Gov- ernir nt's surplus thus far this month having reached $1,554,021. while for the corresponding period of lasi year the Government's fiscal operations showed a deficit of $4,381,563. The market closed rather heavy under the influence Inde- | of profit-taking on the day's rise. pendence, £; Red Bluff, %0; Fresno, %; Los| Railroad bonds continued very dull and with | | | | | { Minn & St Louts. — no movement Total sales, $1,545,000.
