weapon for another attack on stock market
vaJuea today. Prlcaa fall 1 or mor point

Th decline, while often precipitate,
waa not of tha recent demoralised character.
Prlcea have yielded with mora or lasa
steadiness for a fortnight, kaae la soma
etandard stocks during that period extend
ing to II point. Tha causes probably 11
deeper than crop conditions. Tha actlv
ltiee of tha Federal Government, coupled
with political eondltlone abroad, may prop
erly b regarded aa the mor potent fac
tors a tha oa. Aside from movements In
th market, an Interesting Item of the day
waa the July report of unfilled tonnage of
tha T'nlted Statea 8teel Corporation. Th
a-ura show a lac re see of til. 141 -ton
over Jun. with a much larger gain over
May and accounted In part for tha com
parative atcadlness of steel during th
greater part of the day. despite th enor
mous offerings of that stocka which
amounted to I7S.I00 shares out of a total
of I.e.sn.vOO. In tha last hour tha list made
general recoverlee from tha low point on
what appeared to ha ateady absorptloa. to
gether with extensive short covering. Tha
buying showed mora deliberation than any
recent almllar movement with especial firm
ness In t'nlted Htatea Steel. Great Northern

part of th gain was held at tha clos.

After Day of Active Trading.
CHICAGO. Aug. 10. Quirk grabbing of
profits on the part of wheat ownera offset
altogether today the bullish effect of the
Government crop report and overcame tn
addition the result of a liberal demand for
cargoes to go to Europe. Although there
was considerable of a buying flurry in
wheat at the start, tradera In general had
been prepared beforehand through reports
of private esperts. who have been keeping
sharp wateh from day to day on the crop
damage, that It showed Itself forcibly in
tha official figures.
It was also pointed out that nothwltn
standlng the great falling oft for the month
the Government figure atill promised a big
crop a total yield In fact has been sur
passed only five time In th history of th
country. Then, too, dread of frost In the
Canadian Northwest gave way. During the
session September prices varied from II140
to I3c and closed o at 14c higher at
There was heavy selling of corn by pacK
ers. September fluctuated between 65o
and 65Tc. with the close Arm at 65"c.
a net advance of ic Cash grades were
steady. No. 2 yellow was quoted at 15 ft

In the oats crowd th Government report
disappointed the bulls. Top and bottom
limit for September during the day were
41a and 41Tc. The close was at the last
named prices, a net loss of a shade.

Fishing Launch Sinks.
VANCOUVER, Wash., Aug. 10. (Spe
cial.) A plug pulled out of the side of
the Buffalo, a fishing launch on the
Columbia River, was the cause ascribed
to its sinking while at the dock in this
city last night, after the engineer went
to his home. Captain McNulty. who
resigned a short time ago, turned the
craft over to a new man, and it was
he It is thought, who left a hole open
so the water could run In when there
was no one around. It will be raised
by skidding It to the bank.
