The irregularity Coast, | of the market at the outset was largely dus to the new turn of events in the Far East, but London's purchases at this center turned the tide of uncertainty. Further encouragement came from London in the form of a statement emanating from econservative sources to the effect that our market bears genuine influence of broadening activity. These favorable fea- tures were partly offset by an analysis of last weei's bank statement ehiowing that. the j Tecent increase in loans comes largely from the commercial banks, and suggesting heavy | borrowing by merchants for fall and winter trade. Yet, on the other hand, this very fact fs accepted by many as an indication that mercantile circles are confident of good trade conditions, and are borrowing money with which to extend their operations. Further- mors, commercial icans are being made at 4 Cent, whereas 6 per-cent was the prevall- ing rate for similar accommodations a year ago.

The motive for the early show of strength lay in the conditions in the Northwest and In the higher English markets. Since Saturday there had been light frosts in the western portion of South Dakota, which, while not touching the Wheat sections, appeared to. show the trade how precarious was the sit srowing spring crop. B Minnesota and low temperatures in that State | g were also a source of apprehension regarding damages wrought or imminent. The opening | was wild and for a time threatened to stam- pede the trade again, but the highest prices were obtained in the first burst of enthusiasm. Leter news was modifying, while a lack of buying orders became a pronounced feature of the market. Advices from Winnipeg that the crop damage reports from there were grossly exaggerated seemed to find approval. There was a paucity of domestic damage Teports from the Northwest. The absorbing powers of the markets was not equal to the task Im- pored by the dumping of large holdings. Sharp declines in all deliveries resulted, September selling down to $1 08)%; and December to $1 09%. The close showed partial recovery of the losses, the cause of the reaction being covering at the bottom prices, but the final tone was weak. September finished at §1 00% and December at $1 11 Corn started, as did wheat, under the in- fluerce of the fear of frost. Like wheat, corn also recovered from the scare, there being a prediction of rising temperatures for to-mor- row. September sold down to 56%e, but railied under free covering at the decline and ¢losed unreasonable. We are inclined to think, how- ever, that the way of the short seller will not rule. Wheat may sell back to $1 ; hat would mot be unreasonable reaction after so big an Yance.
