Market Jumps Nearly Three

ALARMING REPORTS OF RUST
Damage Extends Over Greater Part
of the Dakotas and .Minnesota
Session of Intense Activity
In the Grain Pit.
CHICAGO, .Aug. 4. Sensational reports of
damage .by rust to Spring wheat caused In
tense excitement today on tho Board of Trade,
resulting la a sharp advance In prices.' Tho
market closed almost at the top, September
showing & net Bain of 22c over last
night's quotations. -
At the opening the wheat market exhibited
much weakness, tho September option being
down 5c to lc, at 93ic to 04c The
decline was due to -an absence ' of any addi
tional damage reports from the Northwest and
to a drop of d In the wheat market at Liver
pool. Paris also showed a decline, tho fall
there feeing equal to a cent a bushel. Influ
enced by the remarkable advance In prices
during the past two weeks, a- disposition was
shown, among local traders to go slow for a
time. Knowledge that the Government crop
report to be issued next Wednesday might
fill to confirm the reports of damage In the
Northwest helped to restrict the volume of
trading early in the day.
Towards noon, however, alarming reports
of damage to Spring wheat in tho Northwest
again flooded the pit. According to tho latest
advices, the area affected by rust extended
over the greater part of the Dakotas and
Minnesota. . It was asserted that little hope
was entertained for even a moderate yield.
Much short wheat having meanwhile been
eold, a cudden demand resulted, that roused
the market into Intense activity and prices
rose rapidly. The early decline was entirely
overcome and the big additional advance fol
lowed rapidly, the market reaching the high
est point so far touched by the September
delivery, that option celling at 07f97c
gain of 252c from the low figure of the
day.
Trading continued active the remainder of
the session, the market closing practically at
the top, with September at i)7c.
Lower cables, good weather and favorable
crop advices brought out heavy selling of
com early in the cession. During the last
hour the market held firm, the close being at
the top. September opened at 51flc and
closed at 62462c
Oats opened easier. Tho market closed at
practically the high point. September closed
at Si Vic.
Buying by packers and for foreign account
caused a firm tono in provisions. At the start,
the market was a trifle easier as a result of
selling by pit traders, but with the strength of
grain, a firmer feeling developed. September
pork closed with a gain of 12&c at $12.05.
Lard was up 10c at $7. Ribs were 7"4c higher
at 57.70.

"Wheat A stampede of shorts at midday
carried wheat in the New York market well
above the dollar mark today. It was the
culmination of a long bull campaign, based
pn European shortage and damage to domes
tic crops. Some of the Northwest news to
day, which really started tho bear panic, de
noted widespread damage from rust. Bulls
now predict $1.25 berore the season ends, an

COTTON CROP-PROSPECT
DOMINANT INFLUENCE IN NEW
YORK STOCK MARKET.
Later Offset by Alarmist Reports
. From Spring Wheat District
Steel Trust Passes Dividend.
NEW YORK. Aug. 4. The brilliant pros
pect for tho cotton crop, as revealed by yes
terday's publication of the Government esti
mate, was the dominant Influence In the stock
market today, but this waned somewhat' in
the course of the session. This was partly
due to the suggestive steadiness of the price
of cotton itself, which served to arouse mis
givings of damage to the crop since the date
of the Government estimate, and partly to
the excited movement which developed In the
wheat market. The latter was due to the
receipt of alarmist reports from tho Northwest
as to the extent of the damage to the Spring
wheat, which served to offset tho promise of
the cotton crop.
Very little pressure to sell stocks was de
veloped, but a marked indisposition to make
speculative commitments resulted In a .run
ning down of tho rate of activity to near the
point of Idleness. It Is not likely that con
fidence In the harvesting of a bumper cotton
crop will be Impaired except by much more
decisive Indications of deterioration than were
presented today. -But the decline in estimates
of the wheat crop detracts from tho pros
pective advantage of an unusually good for
eign demand. Belief In poor foreign crop
prospects plays a large part In the present
strength of wheat, but the amount of tho ex
portable surplus shrinks materially with the
later estimates of our wheat crop. It Is very
notablo, also, that tho foreign demand for
wheat Is not Inclined to follow the market to
the higher price levels here.
The upward bound In wheat quickly affected
the stock market and tho disposition to take
profits affected the cotton stocks as well. Tho
report of a large purchaoe of pig Iron led to
some realizing in tho iron and steel etockB.
The fact that the dividend will be deducted
from United States Steel preferred Saturday
served to recall the heavy selling " which fol
lowed tho deduction of the last dividend and
gave on uncertain tone to that Influential
stock. Some depression was caused by the
apparently authorized admission that the
effort to arrange for the distribution of the
amounts of the dividends to which Northern
Securities stockholders ore entitled, has ifeen
'abandoned. The labor trouble In tho local
building trades kept attention allvo to that
branch of the industrial scare.
Sterling exchango dropped away from the
gold export point. The weekly statement of
the Bank of England, however, showed that
Institution to bo 6tlll losing gold, and the
same is true of the Bank of France. The ex
pectation of additional borrowing by the Gov
ernment stiffened the London money market
again. The closing was inanimate, but fairly
steady.
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value, f-.-050,000.
Unlud States bonds wero unchanged
on call.

ORDERS FOR BESSEMER PIG
The Principal Event of the Week In tho
Iron Trade. - ij
NEW YORK. Aur. 4 "RfprHmr tn.
and steel marker, the Iron Age In this week's
issue says:
The princlpal'event of the week has been
the closing of contracts for imnnn tnnm nt
standard Bessemer pig for delivery over ten
raonins, Deginnmg in September, to the Pitts
burg Steel Company.
There Is renorted. further th
255,000 tons of Bessemer pig Iron by a Wheel
ing railway, 'ine same concern has the first
part Of the order for tho Ppnnjrwlvnnln mil.
lngs In tho market for 35,000 tons additional.
i.nere seems sun to be some uncertainty
concerning the second half of tho second tun
nel castings order and the pig Iron, for It
does not appear to have been covered. The
Iron for the first half was given to one fur
nace In New Jersey and two In tho Lehferh
Valley.
Aside from these larger transactions, there
has been a series of smaller sales at Pitts-,
burg, and there has been some activity In the
Chicago market. There have been some sales.
Including one lot of 12,000 tons of basic pig,
in the East The complaint Is general, how
ever, that these sales, nearly all mode by
Northern furnaces, have been made at low
prices, which In many cases axo below tho
cost of production.
Aside from the large transactions referred
to, the buying for foundry purposes is dont
to cover only requirements for pressing needs
or for the current quarter, the buyers appar
ently not having abandoned their waiting at
titude. From the finished Iron and steel markets
come fair reports. There is a modest Increase
In the tonnage In the majority of lines, but
the railroads aro still taking material con
servatively, As an indication of tho amount
of work going on. It may be noted that tho
July sales of the leading structural interest
were over .30.000 tous, an unusually large por
portlon of It being taken for builders and
miscellaneous structures. Tho plate trade Is
reported to be showinug some improvement,
and the low prices of sheets appear to have
attracted buyers. Bar Iron Is somewhat
stronger, particularly In tho Chicago market.

A First-Class Fighting Man.
P. A. Acland In Booklovcrs Magazine.
Of the new men we may be quite sure
tnat Mr. Lloyd-George -will receive min
isterial rank, If England's Liberal party
comes to power. He is reckless in state
ment and furious in criticism; but his
vigor and watchfulness have been inval
uable' to the party during the last four
or five years, and he has undoubtedly
earned government rank. Fourteen of his
40 years have been spent In the -House of
request.
Commons. He was prominent from the
first, but It was not until the last Parlia
ment that his reputation was flrmly es
tablished. vThe lack of first-class fighting
men among his Liberal allies, and the
supply of first-class fighting subjects af
forded by his Too opponents, gave him
his opportunity. An orator of truo Cel
tic fire, a. debater alert and direct as
Mr. Chamberlain himself, a practical or
ganlzer and party opportunist, and at the
same time a "crank" of tho first water
In whose lexicon there Is no such word
as compromise, this young Welch radical
Is fiuro to go far.
