12- DECEMBER WHEAT CLOSED ftc LOWER AT 68c Market Stubborn Against Heavy Receipts, Easy Cables and a Visible Increase. MPLS., 1251 CARS: DULUTH, 819 The Market Quiet and Steady All Day—Ca*h Market Wan Very Active. Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Sept. 3. —Wheat was remarkably steady thU morn ing In th« face oft news and statistics that was almost entirely bearish. December opened a shade under Saturday's close, at 6SMs@6S>-,e. and sold to 68c, but rallied to the opening and held the price up to noon. The market fell Into dullness. The selling pressure was less than had been looked for. There was no disposition to buy in the face of the depress ing figures given out, and the market dragged along with only an occasional trade. . As was expected, the receipts were heavy, the north - west showing 2,135 cars of wheat,, against 1,079 cars' for .the corresponding days last year. Primary receipts were in round figures 600,000 bu larger than last year. The visible supply increased 1;783,000 bu, making the total now 27,790,000 bu. Liverpool was %d lower. Berlin closed %c higher, Budapest %c lower and Antwerp unchanged. Broomhall cabled that the weak tone in that market for -he past week was due. principally to hearr re ceipts from America, and that importer* pre ferred to shade prices rather than put cargoes into store. World's shipments were 9,336,000 bu, .against 9,748,000 bu last week, and 6,648, --000 bu a year ago. Of the week's total, 6,608, --000 bu were from America. Russia shipped 1,640.000 bu, the Danube 520,000 bu, Australia 828,000 bu, and India 73,000 bu. The amount on passage figures up 88.960,000 bushels, a decrease of 1,824,000 bushels for the week. Liverpool stocks at 3,240,000 . bushels show an Increase of 64,000 bushels. The English visible supply increased 1,197,000 bushel*, against a decrease .of 49,300 bushels last year. "•'".'. -: BL Louis had 449,000 bushels, against 825, --000 last year and Kansas City received 586 cars against 124 cars. Total primary re ceipts were 3,134,572 bushels, against 2.642, --996 bushels last year, and shipments 1,182, --666 bushels, against 1.468,727 bushels. Clear ances were reported at 1,122,000 bushels, but some ports sent reports for two days and some for three, so that the figures were taken as a probable underestimate. Minne apolis received 1,251 cars, against 884 last year, and Duluth 819 against 260. There were no deliveries here. In Chi cago the deliveries were somewhat heavier than expected, running to about 1,750,000 bushels wheat and 4,300,000 bushels corn. The market closed quiet' and steady. 'De cember lost %c for the day, closing. at ■ 68c. September closed at 66% c,; and ' May wheat •t 71Vt@71%c Chicago closed December at 71@71%c. - . , . . :. ; -; •-> Cash offerings were the' heaviest of any day of this year. Trading was on the De cember basis. The market ' very - active and •was well cleaned up considering the heavy receipts. Millers and elevators'. were | buy ers, the elevators taking the bulk of the -wheat, millers confining. purchases : largely to selections. No. 1 northern sold at %c under December for the average. No. 2 northern averaged 2%c under December, and No. 3 wheat held around 4@4&c under. la all grades selections and wheat to go out brought fractionally higher prices. * Rejected •old from 60% c to 63% c, and no grade from *>c to 63c. - THE FLOUR MARKET Oood Domestic Demand and Some £ Foreign* Inquiry. The market Is steady and prices firm as Quoted. Millers are free shippers on old or ders. Demand Is- largely from the domestic trade.

A GENERAL SELLING This Sends Stock Prices Below Fri day's Close. / VALUES WERE HIGHER AT FIRST Absence of Inside Support Causes Prices to Work Downward; . ■■V ■- Persistently, r ?' : i New York, Sept. 3.—The riae in the London market over holidays helped prices of stocks here at the opening. There was a not able demand for the Denver & Rio Grande stocks, the common selling 3 and ,the pre ferred 3% points over Friday^* price. A thousand shares of United States Steel sold at 45%@45"i, compared with 45% on Friday. Otherwise there was no notable feature in the market, and the changes were fractional, with gains predominating, but not up to the London parity. Profit-taking in the Denver & Rio Grande issues and selling of Atchisons, St. Paul and Amalgamated Copper lowered them a point and caused general selling elsewhere. Prom inent stocks fell below Friday's close on quite liberal offerings of the western, Pacific and coal stocks. Fears of a tightening of money rates, in consequence of the large shrinkage in cash reserves of banks, discouraged long buying. . . Prices worked downward steadily, the ab sence of Inside support encouraging shoit selling, which forced out stop-leas orders in many stocks. Losses ran from 1% to 2% in the active division, with St. Paul and Missou ri Pacific the chief sufferers. Lake Erie & Western preferred dropped 3 and Virginia, Carolina, Chemical 2%. Chicago Great West ern and Wisconsin Central rose over a point, but did aot hold well. A slight rally caused a relapse into dullness. Sugar fell 3 points on account of the disap pointment of speculators who had expected an increase in the dividend. The general market sagged in sympathy, some stocks getting back to the lowes:. Trading became very dull, and as the mar ket showed no inclination to harden on the decreased offerings, traders put put large short lines in the Pacifies, Atchisons, St. Paul and Amalgamated Copper. The resultant de clines in these stocks at from 2 to 3 points below the opening had a depressing effect all around and the entire market was under con siderable pressure at 2 o'clock. The marking up of the mcney rate brought renewed offerings into the market and prices weut lower than before. Penn sylvania fell 2% under Friday, Reck Island 2%, Louisville & Nashyille 2%, Consolidated Gas 2%, New York Central, Erie first and second preferred, Norfolk & Western, Ameri can Smelting and Tennessee Coal from 1% to 2. The rally on the usual quick profit tak ing by small bear traders caused small ral lies and the market became very dull again. Denver & Rio Grande rose buoyantly to 61%. The closing generally was dull and irregular. Bonds were irregular, with the speculative issues generally lower.
