EARLY GAINS WIPED OUT Steel Transactions Overshadow All Other, With New Maximum Price Touched, but Stock Falls Back Later. v NEW YORK, Ausr. 23. Prof it-taklns act ad u a check on todays active market, but was not especially effective until the final hour, when many of the day's gains vere reduced or completely effaced. Short sell ing. Induced In part by the delay in the Tail road nesotatlon at Washington, also served to bring about the late reversal. United States Steel was again the main pivot about which the market for the most part revolved. That stock made a new maximum on Its advance of to 9H. from which It fell back to 7, the closing quotation. Dealings In Steel were so exten sive as to overshadow every other feature of the market, aggregating 250,000 out of a total of 1. 073,0oi shares. Demand for rails was most Insistent In the forenoon. Union Pacific leading at toss gain of 1. with a further inquiry for Reading and Lehigh Valley, as well ai other coalers, St. Paul and Great Northern. All these Issues yielded to the pressure of the afternoon, together with coppers, Mexi cans and some of the remote war issues. Shipping shares and the automobile dlvl 'fltons were e,3ala subject to concerted selling movements, the former by reason of rumors Indicating another reduction In ocean freight rates, and the latter as a result of the new atock offering of the "Willys-Overland. Bethlehem Steel stood out among the high-priced specialties by its further gain of 8 to 4S9, and Cuban American Sugar lost as much with a moderate recovery at the end. There was less activity In mis cellaneous or unclassified stocks, those issues showing material change. A slight shading of rates to Berlin and Vienna marked the only change In foreign remittances, dealings In sterling bills and francs being extremely light. Anglo-French 5s w.-s again the sole fea ture of the steady bond market. Total sales, par value, aggregated J3.S65.000. United (States Panama 2s advanced K per cent on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

Quantity Released to Consuming Coun tries la Limited Roasters Com pelled to Advance Quotation. Brazil continues to hold the upper hand, and thus far has been In a position tdT dic tate coffee prices. The coffee trade, as previously , stated, did not think Brazil was In a sufficiently strong financial position to bring this about, but owing to econo mies throughout Brazil and th Inability to get foreign goods, the coffee-producing states particularly have got their finances in much better shape than was anticipated, even though the Federal Government Is still in bad shape financially. By reason ot this, and also because of the support that nw AmerlcA banks in Brazil have given, that country has been able to demand and re ceive fully 25 per cent better prices than last year. The Government continues to limit the amount to come to the seaboard, and as the demand absorbs practically everything that comes, the country has been able thus far to maintain prices, and the chances seem to be for higher rather than lower prices. Peaberry coffees, as stated before, are in very short supply both In Brazil and-other coffee-growing countries. The crop last year ran strongly to peaberries, and ' this year quite the reverse. It is understood that fhere have been ad vances by roasters throughout the country, and while these are but small, so far. further advances In certain lines will be come lmparative. NEW YORK. Aug. 23. The market for coffee futures was firmer today on cover ing by near, month .shorts and moderate trade buying, followed by reports that some of the Brazilian shippers were asking higher prices In the cost and freight market. Trad ing was quiet at the start, but the opening was 1 to 2 points higher and business be came more active during the day, with Sep tember contracts selling up to 8.72c and May to 9.04c, about 20 to 21 points above the low level of yesterday and 16 to . 19 points net higher. The close was a shade off from the best under realizing, with last prices showing net gains of from 9 to 33 points. Including exchanges from Sep tember to later months, sales amounted to 77.000 bags.

TONE NERVOUS DURING DAY Selling: Is Free at Outset ot Session, but Commission House Demand Prevents Any Serious Decline. Iiittle Change at Close. CHICAGO. Aug. 23 Wheat, after Its re cent feverish activity, turned quiet today, and closing prices were e lower to e higher. Corn closed o lower to He up and 0 9no higher. Provisions were Irregu lar, with no material change. Wheat showed a nervous tone throughout. Wheat was sold freely at the start, but a commission-house demand prevented any material dene In prices and Immediately thereafter the market advanced about a cent from the bottom. The remainder of the session was comparatively dull, with the trade apparently awaiting developments. Fluctuations were narrow. In the corn pit there was a sentiment nice ly balanced as to the proper level of prices, and as a consequence fluctuations were nar row most of the day. Prices dipped early, but recovered with wheat early In the ses sion. The Government crop bulletin also reported improvement where rains did not arrive too late. Oats were well supported by speculators and cash houses and registered a small gain for the day. There was a big trade In De cember around 49c. Kxporters were liberal buyers and apparently wanted more than they could get at present prices. Trade in provisions was unsettled.
