Everything Helps to Boost
Wheat at Chicago.
MANY DISTRICTS THREATENED
Continued Excitement in the Wheat
Pit and Prices Rapidly Advanc
ing Market Closes With a
Gain of Over One Cent.
CHICAGO. Aug. 20. A suggestion of .killing
frosts before Monday In Canada and In the
Dakotas sent wheat higher than ever during
the present season. Buyers were kept In an
Intensely excited mood by the continued flood
af dispatches from the Njprthwest giving sen
sational stories of rust damage and alarming
predictions of what might result from a frost
before Monday. The market had lost none of
Its recent bullishness when trading started,
and the opening prices showed gains of c to
lc for the September delivery, at $1.10 to
$L104, and for December c to llc,
at $1.12tf to 5L12. There was plenty of
wheat for sale at those prices by proflt-tak-lng
longs. September sagged off to $1.0854,
with December back to $1.10. There was no
suggestion of a weakening market, however,
and the buying was resumed for an hour with
as much eagerness as though the craze had
Just broken out. At those prices, $1.11 for
September and $1.12 for December, there was
more liquidation, which operated to bear the
price for the near month to $L10. The close
was strong at $1.10, a gain of lc Decem
ber broke to $1.12 and closed llc higher,
at $1.12.
Sentiment in the corn trade underwent a
radical change over night. "When the mar
ket opened today there was little for sale,
and a large number of buying orders to fill.
September opened at a net advance of c to
ia The strength was stimulated, by the bull
ish excitement prevailing In wheat, traders
apparently paying little attention to the
weather, which was in the main favorablo for
the growing crop. September closed c higher
at Mc, and December lc higher at 63c
Oats at the outset were strong, the tone
being influenced entirely by other grains.
Local long selling caused a reaction to 34c,
where It closed firm and unchanged for -the
September option.
Provisions ruled Arm, with only moderate
activity, manifested. The price of live hogs
was 5c higher, and had its influence on de
mand for provisions. September pork closed
6c to 7c higher, at $11.80. Lard was up
a shade at $6.90, and ribs gained 2c.

STOCKS MAKE HEADWAY
ADVANCE IN FACE OF DISTURB
ING INFLUENCES.
Suspicion of Manipulation by Pro
fessional Operators Crop News
and Situation in SteeUTrade.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20. Yesterday's profit
taking was In continued evidence in today's
stock market. Resistance was offered to the
decline until tho fears aroused by the re
newed flight in tho wfceat market weakened
the Grangers and turned prices In general
downward sympathetically. United States
Steel preferred was- determinedly supported In
the early dealings, In spite of the further re
ports of unchanged conditions in that trade
Tho dealers grew suspicious of a speculative
origin for. some of the damaging reports in.
the steel trade, and profess to detect a very
large uncovered Interest In United States Steel
preferred. These factors have a deterrent ef
fect on 'plans to attack the stock by short
sales. Pennsylvania, also, was conspicuously
Arm. and the anthracite carriers showed. good
resistance under the favorable Influence of -a
reported agreement on a plan for the settle
ment of differences between miners and oper
ators in that trade A violent break in Metropolitan-
Securities, which carried Metropol
itan Street Hallway down with it, gave'added
force to the reaction, and the late weakening
of tho Grangers caused the whole list to give
way. The leading gralncarrlers all lost in
the neighborhood of a point. A fractional
rally was Interrupted by the further drop in
Metropolitan Securities, and the closing was
Irregular.
Tho bank statement furnished no surprises.
The moderate expansion made up an import
ant part of the Increased receipts, but there
was a sufficient cash increase to more than
keep pace with the additional requirement,
thus adding '$882,775 to the already Abundant
surplus. Total sales -of bonds par value, $1,
225,000. The stock-market this week has been irreg
ular and at times quite weak, but reactions
have been resisted and overcome by the gen
eral course of prices, which has been upwards.
This was in the face of some heavy selling
to take profits and against the sentiment of
a large part of the professional operators,
who have looked for a reaction. Some of the
week's news has offered a rather formidable
prospect to holders of securities, but this was
also Ignored, and offerings of stocks were
steadily absorbed up to the higher level at
tained by prices.
The crop news of the week has been dis
tinctly unfavorable to stocks. The material
reduction In tho wheat crop, which has re
sulted in the, damage from rust, however, is
generally admitted, and the extent to which
this may go is recognized to be a factor for
future determination. Even more Importance
is attached to the corn crop for its promise
of an effecUve offset to the unpromising out
look for wheat. Foreign shortages of wheat
are looked to to stimulate" a large demand for
corn, so that a large crop of that cereal will
play an Important part In the year's pros
perity of the country. The week's misgivings
over the progress of that crop was, therefore,
a serious factor In the stock market. Re
portsof deterioration from lack of moisture
were received with much anxiety, and the
danger still to come of harm from frost to corn
was a restraining infiuence on speculation.
The gravity of the situation In tho steel
trade Is also freely conceded. Price cuts al
ready authorized In that trade have offered
a basis for Industrious calculation as to the
direct effect on earnings of tho United States
Steel Corporation. Beyond that direct result
Is the effect to be expected in inducing a
waiting attitude on tho part of the consumers
whose indisposition to make commitments on
a falling market or with a chance for lower
prices will naturally follow.
While this condition has not been without
pome effect, the sympathetic effect on the gen
eral market has been surprisingly tame. The
same was true of the labor sltuaUon, which
was not promising. Trouble in the New York
trades was extended, and the meatpackers'
strike was still a subject of dally attenUon
and discussion. That prices of stocks should
continue to make headway against a com
bination of disturbing influences in this way
has been a cause of surprise and of come sus
picion of manipulation by parties of profes
sional operators.
Tho condition of the money market offered
a strong attraction fort the holding of stocks.
The call loan rato has ranged from 1 per cent
to per cent, and there is practically no de
mand for time loans aside from the longer
period. The easiness of the London market
has diminished the probability of any call for
gold from that quarter, andy shipments from
Australia to San Francisco continue to be
made In any event. Interior money markets
show the, beginning of the Fall demand and
the Interior exchanges are turning against
New York. But with a surplus of $60,000,000
In New York bank vaults, the coming demand
is viewed with equanimity. It is expected this
demand will como up to the usual volume,
and the higher prices ruling for grain and
cotton may. swell the usual domand. But
possible future contingencies of this sort are
not of much effect in the face of a half per
cent call money rate. Railroad earnings show
a general Improvement, and traffic has good
prospects. There Is a strong supporting factor
for stocks.
The demand for bonds has not been active,
but prices have been well maintained. Unit
ed States registered 3s have advanced , the
3s coupon, the new 4a registered and the old
4s . and the 8s registered , while the new
4s coupon have declined on call since last

NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.
Expansion Is Shown In Nearly
Every
Item.
NEW YORK, Aug. 20. The Financier says:
The features of the official statement of tho
New York associated banks last week were
new high records for specie, cash and depos
its, a further expansion in loans, bringing the
total to within $674,800 of the maximum on
July 23, and an increase In surplus reserve to
within $3,400,475 of the highest, July 2. 1898.
The net cash gain last week was $1,401,100.
or les3 by $835,200 than that which was esti
mated on the basts of the traceable movement
of money; this discrepancy may be satisfac
torily accounted for. It probably being due to
tne system of averages. The deposits in
creased $2,438,000, which was less by" $1,736.-
100 than the sum of the increase In loans and
the net gain In cash; therefore, the statement
did not - balance. The reserve requirements
were augmented $609,500 as the result of the
Increase In deposits, deducting which sum
from the net gain In cash, left $881,000 as the
increase Jn surplus reserve to $58,613,075. the
highest, as stated, since July 2, 1898. when It
was $62,013,550. Computed on the basis of de
posits, less those of $23,378,900 public funds,
the surplus Is $64,457,800. The loans were
expanded by $2,693,000, probably reflecting
syndicate borrowing and also loans of the
proceeds of sterling and France finance bills.
The dally average of bank clearings last
week was $186,000,000, or $21,000,000 more
than In tho previous week, reflecting, the in
creased speculation on the Stock Exchange.

It is not an ordinary pamphlet, such as is

conducted testa In a large variety of cases,
showing 8T per cent of recoveries in these hith

The specifics employed In these tests are
known as the Fulton Compounds, and the re

dreaded diseases so long fatal (the deaths from
Bright' s Disease alone are appalling, over 100,
000 a year, starting as kidney trouble) have at
last yielded to medical science. The pamphlet
is free. "Write to the John J. Fulton Co., 400
