Chicago, 111., Aug. 26.—With frost
temperatures reported from the Cana
dian northwest and with unfavorable
crop advices from Russia, the wheat
market today took an upward slant.
The probability of more frost tonight
beyond the infernational bound^y
tended to help further the traders on
the bull side. Business, however, was
very light. Opening prices were a shade
lower to l-4a3-8c. up. December start
ed at 94 5-8 to 95, the same change
from last night as the market altogeth
er. After touching 94 1-2 the prices
rose to 95a95 1-8.
Corn deri^red firmness from wheat.
Trade, though, showed a lack of spirit.
December opened unchanged to l-16c.
higher at 61 7-8 to 61 7-8a62 and ad
vanced to 62 even.
It was a slow market in oats. Prices
were barely steady. December started
from last night's level to l-8c. off at
44 5-8 to 44 3-4 and seemed inclined
to keep within that range.
Good buying on the part of commis-
S’ion houses gave a touch of strength
to provisions. First sales were the

‘New York, Aug. 26.—New low re
cords for the year were recorded by
the stock market this week, in which
further liquidation was conspicuous.
The selling was of the same silent
and enigmatic character which has
marked the movement tor the past
month.
Weakness was again most pronounc
ed in the Harriman issues, although
distinct pressure was directed upon
other standard shares, including St.
Paul, U. S. Steel and Pennsylvania.
Aside from the more critical stage
in the labor situation as affecting the
railroads and the continued deadlock
abroad in the Moroccan difflculty, the
most interesting development was the
'announcement that the Union Pacific
Southern Pacific system had determin
ed to institute rigid economies. That
similar steps will be taken by other
important railroad companies, is al
ready apparent.
Decline in steel shares followed un
favorable reports on conditions in that
industry issued by authoritative trade
journals, together with the closing of
an important independent plant In
New Jersey.
Little or no change is reported in
mercantile lines, but money remains
easy, with no indication of much hard
ening, even when crop requirements
attain their full growth.

WHEAT HARVEST BY ARC LIGHT,
Argyle, Minn., Aug. 26.—Eugene La-
bine, a Marchall county farmer, is
harvesting 500 acres of wheat with one
machine, working day and night. The
binder is run with eight horses, four to
a shift, and a headlight is used at
night. The night shift of horses stand
the work much better than those used
in the heat of the day, and Labine
predicts night binding will become the
custom in the Northwest.
