brought about. Home people advanced
the theory thnt Germany may want to

not be possible It diplomatic relations

MARKET FEATURE
Shttfp Advance on Heavy Buy
ing Stock Seemed Scarce.
Cambria in Demand
.A sharp advance In Klectrlc Storage
Mattery was a feature of nn otherwise
quiet session on the Philadelphia Stock
Exchange today. Opening at 6214, com
pared with a closing price last night of
62, the quotation was quickly advanced
about four points. Buying orders were
larger thnn have appealed In this Issue
for quite a while, and the stock seemed
rcarce. It was said that liquidation from
nn estate which hns been In progress for
uomo time had been completed. This,
taken together with the knowledge that
tho company is operating nlmost at
capacity with some very good orders In
sight, helped to boost the quotation.
Part of tho buying was for New York
account. About C300 shorcOs changed
hands during the session.
Cramp Shipbuilding nnd Lehigh Valley
Transit were heavy spots each declining
more than a point, but offerings were
small.
Cambria Steel was In good demand,
and Lake Superior also en mo In for a
modicum of nttrntton, aided by the ad
vance In t'nlted States Steel. Although
Philadelphia Company shores did little,

tive and Arm, rrtleCtlng tho advance- In
the stock In Wall Street. In connection
with the buoyancy recently shown In all

United Railroads ot San Francisco to set
aside $550,000 a year for three years for
betterments until such time as the com
mission has denied or granted the peti
tion for a rehearing filed by the com
pany. Tho latter protested to tho com
mission that It would be Impossible to
comply with tho terms of tho order and
requested a rehearing. In the afternoon
Philadelphia Company moved up a "sub
stantial fraction.

nango Railway and Light Company has
maturing about $5,000,000 of refunding

The financial plan provides for tho ab
sorption of 13 smaller corporations, chiefly

way and Light Company Is controlled by
the Republic Railway and Light Com

At the directors' .meeting of tho Brook
lyn Union QaB Company, which will be

the capital stock will be considered. An
official of the company stated that he
was not aware that any action to this
end would be taken by the directors at
the forthcoming meeting, although he In
timated that developments along this line
might crop out at any time. If an In
crease In tho capital Is uuthortxed, share
holder will probably be offered tha right
to subscribe for the new stock pro rata
at par. Jn December, 1903, the author
ised stock was Increased from $.5,000,000
to $20,000,OW, although the outstanding
Issue waa only raised to $17,999,000.

CHICAOO, Aug;. St. Despite tho stren
uous efforts of many large traders to
rally tho wheat market at the opening
today, prices continued to slide down,
ward. Opening prices were ft trifle aboVo
yesterday's closing, but the support was
weak and tho decline net In early. Now
low levels were reached. ?
Those who expected foreigners and
millers to bid tho market up When the
dollar mark was reached, wore doomed to
disappointment. Light Inquiry came from
both sources, fihorts having covered,
business today In the early hours was
far from brisk. Chief Interest Jipptared
to centre around December, which dis
played much activity but no strength,
Humors of frost damage ond wet weather'
reporta were offset by Increased arrivals
of spring.
September wheat sold at fttH at the
opening, the same price naked at the
closing yesterday. Its undertone was
unsteady nnd It declined to S8H before
noon. December opened at 8H, against
KT1 received nt yesterday's flnnl sules.
iluylng was scattered. Hay advanced
C overnight, bringing Jl.OIti at tho
final sates. It lost Its gain before noon.
Iluylng orders were put out late In the
day and prices recovered nil around frotc
the low of the day and closed nbovo the
final of yesterday.
Kxport Bnlcs reported totaled 320,t)O0
bushels, 10O.C0O for tho Dutch Govern
ment. Chicago cash .handlers so)d. 80,000
bushels ot wheat for seaboard delivery.
An order for 100,000 bushels, to be shipped
via, Montreal, was reported canceled. It
Is estimated that Canada will have nn
enormous surplus. British buyers will
keep out of the American markets', It Is
said, until this surplus has been cared
for.
While a steady undertone was evident
In Liverpool cables, the market was dull.
American weakness was offset by favor
able Wlnnepcg reports.
Argentine weather conditions are re
ported bad, a dry season seriously in
terfering with crops. Tho visible supply
for the week Is estimated at 400,000 bushels
of wheat, against 709,000 last week, and
none In the same period of last year.
Corn supplies totaled 3,825,000 bushels,
compared with 4,072,000 last week and
58,000 In the same week of the preceding
year.
