CHICAGO. July 81. Judge Chytraus today modified the Injunction issued yesterday re straining me unicago Board of Trade and iioard or Trade operators J. A. Patten. Carrinc ton. Patten & Co. and Bartlett, Frailer & Co. irum conuueung a corner in July standard oats, by restraining the defendants from asking the presiaent or tne Board of Trade to indorse aown margins deposited by tho comniain ants. Walte, Thoburn & Co., to secure 55.000 uuaueis or snort saies. The court held a session before the opening hour of the Board of Trade, in order that a decision might be arrived at oerore Business -was begun. A motion for dissolution of the case will come up for further adjudication next week. Tho effect of the action of the court Is for wie time to protect the complainants against any alleged corner, and is construed as -working against the bull clique of operators on the board. Argument was brought to bear by at torneys for the- board and for the defendant operators, that. Inasmuch as both the com plainants and tho defendants were members of a triDunai that adjudicated any controversies between Its members, the lnlunctinn shmiid bo dissolved on the ground of want of Juris- uicnon. 11 was argued that the complainants were premature in asking for an Injunction against a corner when no such corner was In effect, and when the Board of Trade rules spe cifically prohibit corners. The defendant members of the Board of j.raae, in answer to the injunction, denied the anirmation that July standard cats were worth not In excess of 35c a bushel, and said they were worth moro than that price. They also denied any conspiracy among themselves or with Joseph Bidwell, grain inspector, to corner July oats or to forestall the market in that commodity, or to raise the price of July oats. They denied that they had given a fictitious value to tho article, and that they had made any purchases for delivery since July 1. It was sett forth that the elevator aeeommo datlons and railway facilities of Chicago were such that would allow of the delivery of 15 times the amount of oats bought of "Walte. Tho burn & Co. by the defendants, and that fre quently the defendants had bought 10 times as much as their total purchases in this deliv er- Following are tho purchases made in July Btancara oats oy .the bull clique as sejr forth In their affidavit: Bushels. 900.000 100,000 SC0.000 Bartlett, Frazier & Co...., Carrington, Patten & Co... James A. Patten... .r , Attorney J. H. Monroe, for the defendants, in addressing the court, made sharp allusions to the complainants having been of a speculative turn of mind, and eokl something they did not have alW which they did not have the means of obtaining for delivery. He said it looked as if the complainants were trying to make money by buying In property at a less price than that for which It had been sold. Judge Chytraus. before modifying the order, told the attorneys he did not consider the in junction restrained tho defendants from bid ding, buying or selling, or refusing to buy or tell. July oats in the pit, or from any of their a-cuetomed business operations, aside from tho?e In connection with the complainants. There was practically no effect of the injunc tion in the oats pit today. The assurance of Judge Chytraus that ordinary business could bo done by the defendants and other members Df the Board of Trade acted as a check against any violent fluctuations. A notice was posted on 'change Interpreting the court's action as a dismissal of the Injunction against the Board of Trade and stating that all business could proceed as usual, save in the matter of closing out deals with Thoburn, White & Co. This matter was considered in abeyance. James Patten sent brokers into the pit to sell indiscriminately, and about 100,000 bushels were covered early by shorts. This tended to weak en the price, and July dipped from C5c to 6351c Speculators on the board were all Inclined to comment unfavorably upon the appeal to the court. The big bulls said if such a precedent were established there would be nothing but Ehort selling. If prices wont down deliveries would be made, but if the prices went against the sellers thero would be nothing to prevent defaulting on their contracts. Apparently intimidated by the possibilities of having to answer to the -court if fictitious prices were pumped Into July oats, all speculators allowed the manipulated July options In all grades to die with a flash in the pan. July oats were sold freely by the bulls, and many of the shorts covered, bringing the closing price lc up, at C4c j POR.TLAXD MARKETS. Grain, Flour, Etc. The local wheat market was duller than usual yesterday, in sympathy with tho decline in other markets. Chicago was all torn up over xno wierrerence or me courts in a gamblers' quarrel, and Europe was soggy. As usual, it was easier to ouy wneat on a falling market, and some of the dealers could have bought it by the shipload at the prices they were offering a few days earlier. Quotations were down orouna uieftac, ana it would require very mod erate freight rates to make the business at tractive, even at these prices. The freight siiuouoa snows out mile change, and cables rrom Europe were mostly to the effect that owners wero inclined to wait awhile. "Wheat Nominal; Walla Walla.

July 3L The Iron Trade Re view, discussing market conditions In Its cur rent Issue, says: July has put a very large tonnage on the order books of furnaces and mills, and has aone much to determine the poiltlon of the market In the first half of 1003. The past week. while not 60 active In some centers as the preceding one, has revealed a very general interest among buyers of foundry Iron in the possibilities for the first and second quarters of next year. This Is promoted. In part, by tho embarrassment of some consumers who have needed iron for immediate use, and have not been ablo to get it. Less Is heard about the deliveries of iron to steelworkers than of the troubles of foundries, but It v Is already evident that there will be a great shortage of hesscmer and basic Iron, particularly the for mer, contracted for by largo works to be de livered this year. Some steel plants are now making smaller outputs than usual because Iron cannot be had as needed, and in the Pittsburg district several finishing plants have bad to suspend because s'teel could not be had. The prolongation of shut-downs In July was due to this cause In several Instances, rather than to urgent ne cessity of making repairs. The easier feeling in steel predicted on the July shut-downs was rather anticipated than based oa actual sales. Foreign steel has been offered at somewhat lower prices, but domestic billets are still sold at $33334 for the small lota that are practically an tne going business. vB uu mure iuciuuui. steelmakers are not likely to rneet the views of buyers wno are noiaing on ror considerably lower prices on contract steel. The enormous pro duction of pig Iron in the first half of the year 8.808.574 gross tons with unsold stocks June 30 reduced to 29.801 tons, against 872,560 tons a year previous, gives some measure of a still growing consumption, and the impression is heightened by the figures for pig Iron 1m ports, which have now reached 2000 tons 1 day. Foundries pressed for iron are- taklnr -email lots 01 ocoicn pig iron at f2&326 deliv ered In the Central West, and lmporrvlroa has gone as far West as tho Chicago district. The Southern furnaces have made Bales for next year at $17 Birmingham for No. 2, fol lowing earlier sales at $16 00, and some are disposed to ask $17 50, and even $18. The Chicago district reports a largo business, with prices tending upward for both Southern and Northern iron. Metal Markets. NEW YORK, July 31.

July 31. There was such a turmcil at tho opening of the stock market today as to upset the spcculatve sentiment and dlrappolnt the hopes of a renewal of a consistent upward movement of prices which had been indulged as a result of yesterday's development of "fresh railroad deals. Probably the feverish, upward dash of St. Louis & San "Francisco, Evansville & Terre Haute. New Tork Air Brake and a few other stocks would have been sufficient In themselves to have dis turbed sentiment. But when there was added tho "Sown ward plunge of over 8 points In Colo rado Fuel and a .sharp decline In People's Gas, the upward course of prices with which the market opened quickly gave place to realizing. St. Paul's rise of over a point was lost In a few minutes of trading. St. Louis & San Francisco sagged back to below last night dur ing the course of the forenoon. A few scattered advances at different times during the day proved Ineffectual to rouse the market to activ ity. Chicago & Alton and Chicago Terminal Transfer advanced in company on mysterious hints of coming Important developments. The rise In Reading seemed to "be based oa the as sumption that the rioting In the mine region and the calling out of tho troops foreshadowed tho break-up of tho strike. The decrease In Colorado Fuel was attributed to the fact that the company's books close today for the stock hblders meeting, so that new purchases would pot carry voting power for the meeting. The quick subsidence of tho excitement which broke out In the market yesterday when St. Louis & San Francisco and Chicago & Eastern Illinois were reported to have consolidated was primarily due to the uncertainty over the actual fact. All persons interested wero exceedingly reticent, and doubts were aroused as to the real consummation of tho project. Further more, supposing the project to be achieved. there will bo disappointments Inrolved. It Is a matter of public notoriety that Illinois Central has recently made afi offer designed to sccura control of Chicago & Eastern Illinois. The ad vance la St. Louis & San Francisco for the past week has been on the assumption that it was "the Important system" pointed at as destined for Inclusion in tho new Rock Island company. The fact that the new project points to strengthened competition, and is thus calcu lated to arouse antagonisms, makes It similar to many of the recent projects talked of, and marks their departure from the much-discussed community of interest policy, which was to parcel out harmoniously the whole railroad ter ritory amongst the various financial powers. The money market was calm today, but ster ling exchange held steady at the level of the recent gold exports. The Government deficit. which reached over $12,000,000 at one time this month, fell to below $8,000,000 today, and the Subtrcasury In New York received a payment of over $1,000,000 by tho Central Paciijc Rail road Company on account of a note due the Government. The markets closed quite active and weak, prices running off sharply just at the lost. Bonds wero very Irregular, and Inclined to be easier In the morning. Tho St. Louis South western seconds were in large demand. Total sales, par value, $2,103,000. United States bonds were unchanged on the last call. . Cloning; Stock Quotations. o So STOCKS. J.

The break in the stock was one of the early features of the day. It was accompanied by rumors that the faction which was seeking control , of the company had given up the at tempt, and had sold out. A member of the Harris-Gates side was quotftd as saying that tho decline waa due to the opposing party Having attempted to "break the market." The Gates Interest, It was declared, took all the stock offered, which brought about a partial rally. Further excitement was created by the announcement that the Interests now la con trol had applied to the stock exchange to list 3,000.000 additional convertible debentures. which would make a total of $13,000,000 of the $15,000,000 authorized Issue. This gave rise to the question of whether these bonds were at onco convertlble-to stock a question of para mount Importance because of the approaching annual meeting. Stock exchange officials took no action in the matter, opinions on this point being too conflicting. Denver representatives of the Colorado Fuel Company were reported to have declared that the bonds are to be con' verted Into stock; while an opinion directly opposite to this was taken by the company's New York lawyers. Dealings In convertible 0s were also quite extensive. The bonds opened at 104, sold off H point, and closed at 103. Money, Exchange, Etc. SAN FRANCISCO. July 31.

CHICAGO; July 81. July corners were snuffed out today. Quietly, and with little excitement, save that lnAenced by the injunction against a corner Inuly standard oats, the manipu lated deals died in the arms of their projectors. July wheat cut the most spectacular figure by slumping almost 6c The July corn flitted into history with the closing price 21c lower than tho high price exacted when the Gates' clique was In control. July oats, although controlled absolutely by the Patten-Fra2ler crowd, closed uneventfully, doubtlessly held down by the fear of dread possibilities at the hands of the court when the injunction casa comes to be set tled. "With manipulation largely out of the way, and the Inflation In prices rapidly seeping out, other options In grains felt the very bear ish effect of big shipments, lower cables, fine weather and heavy sales, and consistently de clined all around. Interest centered In oats because of the In junction proceedings against Patten. Bartlett & Frazier and Carrington. Patten & Co. Trade hung fire tor a time at tha start, for the case was up In court. A little covering was done early, which started prices up somewhat. When the court interpreted the Injunction for the parties Interested, and stated that only one house was Interested, a house short 55.000 bushels of July, and that with the exception of -deals with this house all business could go on as usual on 'change, prices sagged. Patten sold freely In the pit to any one who wanted the stuff at 65c lc over yesterday. About 100, 000 bushels were covered early. Then rather heavy liquidation set In all around. The gen eral feeling among speculators was that had there not been an Injunction In effect against one firm, prices probably would have been boosted, and the July corner would have gone out with a boom. For the first time today. It was learned that the bull Interest controlled 1.867.000 bushels. bought below 40c. Of this long line. It is est! mated, over 1.250.000 bushels were disposed of hy the bulls In the open pit. Most 01 tne traa Ing' yas In new. round lots changing hands at 61c. one of '05.000 bushels and another of 200. 000 bushels. Fair deliveries were made as the prico In oats declined, but a largo number of contracts defaulted. Details of these will not be known for some time. July, after opening lc up. at 64c, sold at 65c dipped to 63?ic. and closed lc up. at 64;c. September sold from Z2e down to 3lc and closed 543c lower. at 31lc A break of 6c In July wheat was the feature of the leading pit today. Trade was dull at times, and prices were Inclined to be erratic Covering and tho effect of big exports yester day started prices higher. Deliveries of 500.000 bushels in July, however, with heavy selling In all deferred options, brought Na break. July opened c down to c up. at 75$76c. hung fire for somo time, and then plunged in a panicny fashion to 69Uc Few tradera wanted the July article, although there was a fair cash demand. September opened 3c up, at .usoc, broke to 60c. and closed weak. Zi'Slc down, at eOHSSOHc Excellent crop news big receipts ana nne weather influenced a marked Increase in the September-December spread, December belling lc below September. The feeling In wheat, as elsewhere, was that with manipulation out of the war Inflation must come out or prices in all options. July closed 5Sc down, at euic. There was heavy selling In corn, very nine euonort arrived, and prices broke. From uoc. the price of July corn on July 8, when con trolled by the bull crowd, tho price has de clined until today, when It closed at 56c There was a fair strength to all options early on the small receipts only 82 cars. Selling In faep irmhfr however, was heavy. Induced by bear ish reports of excellent crops and good weather. In spite of .only 65 cars estimated for tomor row. September sold from 56-c down to 51ic and Julv from 50c to 56c There was a little rally In September as early cables Improved, UUl ino CIUIO u ncu, ... ,a The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. rnntnr.
