6 THE COMMERCIAL RECORD. On the Chicago Board of Trade Wheat Was Quiet and Uninteresting .^ Yesterday. There Was an Entire Lack of Specu lation by Parties on the Outside. ■ ■i..i m Transactions in the Financial Circles of Wall Street— Quotations. Special to the Globe. . Chicago, 111., Sept. 12.—8u1l arguments were as abundant to-day as the loaves and fishes after a certain feeding of the multi tude mentioned in the New Testament. Of winter wheat there was inspected in but 64 cars. The number for the corresponding date a year ago was 104 cars. Of spring wheat but 8 cars were inspected in, against 130 cars a year ago. A year ago but 4,191 bushels of wheat were inspected out, while to-day the figures show 65,479 buseels of. winter and 20,156 bushels of spring, an ex cess of 80,4-14 bushels on the bull side of the argument. To this add the fact that the visi ble supply of wheat to-day is 12,000,000 bushels less than it was one year ago, while the amount afloat is considerably less, and the situation becomes hopeful. One year ago OctoDer wheat sold at 77*& c. The bulls declares that under the circumstances the present figures should be fully as high as those of twelve mouths ago. The weather, as indicated on the government map, showed that it was cloudy and rainy throughout the West and Northwest, a disappointment to those who held that "fair weather is bear weather." The receipts of to-day are 162, --857 bu, and shipments aggregate 180,-132 bu. From the foregoing facts, figures and considerations it may be imagined that the bulls were IN* TKETTT GOOD SHAPE to take hold of to-day's market. But they were doomed to disappointment. October wheat.which closed at 70c on Saturday.open* ed at 79"fee. May corn which closed nt 45% c opened at 45«&. May wheat which closed at 79c opened at 787 October short ribs opened at $$.77ft and went to $8.82^. Oc tober com opened 42% c and went to 42% c. "Old Hutch" sold wheat to-day. He did it, as a member remarked, "to bother the boys.' Doomed to a banishment of ninety days the ehrewd old gentleman is determined that his enemies shall not forget him if they would. Of "Old Hutch's" abilities as an obstruction. ist, when he is in an obstruetionary mood. many columns have been written. He was in the mood obstructive to-day, and would have probably "sold the bottom out of the market (as one trader expressed it) if Billy Comstock had not been buying freely to cover some shorts." The crowd found the most action in corn during the first hour, and the October option was boomed to 42ftc, reacting five minutes later to 42^©42%c. At 11:20 o'clock wheat sold at 09? Ie, and "Hutch" continued to BOJHEB THE EOT**. There was a factor at work, however, more potent than any influence which Mr. Hutch inson could wield. The figures of the visi ble supply were coming in rapidly, and they were not as encouraging as the "bulls had hoped for. Hence the slight drop in wheat and a small sympathetic falling off in corn. Promptly at noon came Secretary fellows with the official announcement of the Visible supply figures. They areas follows: Oats 346,000 bushels decrease; corn 270,000 bushels increase; wheat 524,000 bushels in crease. Following is a statement of the Visible supply at this time with figures for the corresponding time last year: Grain- Wheat. 1886, 44,870,283, IS*'?, 31,210.890; corn, 1886, 13,6*27.279. 1887, 7,106,852; oats, 1886,4,628,087.1887,4,387,972; rye 1886.570.854, 1887,281,534; bnrlev, 1886, 1.027,665, 1887, 414,081. Although the showing on wheat wns quite as favorable as the majority anticipated, the stilling was too Vigorous to sustain prices, and at the 1 o'clock close October wheat was stationary at 69%cand October corn sold nt42ftc.

Outside speculation was entirely lacking, and local traders saw no good reason for loading themselves with the article. Prices averaged slightly lower, aud the influences tending to weaken the market were considerably larger receipts at Minneapolis, the anticipated increase in the visible supply, and the posting of wheat in New York as out of condition. Aside from the selling of a moderate quantity early in the day. the speculative offerings were light and there was no special desire to realize. October opened ftc lower at 69% c and sold down to 69U@69%e, at which figure it closed. Corn was the article in which most of the speculation centered to-dny, though it was not as active as it might have been. Local shorts bid the market up on themselves early on the un usually large shipments. but their wants were ail supplied by a prominent local operator, who sold very freely of both Sep tember and May. The announcement of an increase of 250,000 bushels in the visible at noon seemed to have no effect whatever. October sold at 42Uc up to 42ftc, down to 42Vsc, then up to42Uc, and closed at the lowest 42c. In oats rather a slow heavy market was ex perienced all around. Speculative trading was very light and confined mainly to May. Prices did not change materially. Provisions were weaker, and trading dragged all day. nogs were lower nt the yard. Scalpers unloaded all the market Would take, and the result was a decline of 17ftc, on January pork; 7c on lard and 7ftc on January short ribs; November remaining Steady, " ;-. v Shippers bought cash lard quite freely. but the injury in meats was lighter. Short ribs for October sold at 55.70ft©3.90 and closed $8.921 2 ; January at 56.50©6.55, and closed at 56.5 i.>.

Duluth Wheat, Special to the Globe. Duluth, Minn., Sent. 12.—Duluth wheat was steady to-day with a strong feeling.while the other markets were weak. All American markets were exceedingly dull, and reported speculation almost entirely absent. Chicago advices reported a feeling there intensely weak, nnd said they were at a loss. for any thing to bull wheat on. For distant futures this market sympathizes somewhat with this feeling, but " cash and October wheat were held very stiff, continued dartp weather causing further apprehensions as to the dam age of the crop and .' the putting of the fall movement affect our .chances for liberal receipts. Some dispatches like this were received to-dny: "Wet weather again; do not sell October wheat as ordered." Foreign advices' were unchanged except from Paris, which was a turn dearer." Clear ances were weak, and receipts at primary points fair. The close here was weaker.

The new week on the stock exchange opened dull ; and with a drooping market, in which the 'bulk -. of tlie dealings , were for professional ac count. . London and Chicago were sellers to a limited extent.' The influences at work were nearly all of an unfavorable character, the effect of tlie disappointing bank state ment being fully felt nt the opening. The advance in the money rate in London and the rate of exchauge here with the coal miners' ■:. strike were successfully used against values. A rumor of action by the secretary of the treasury was the occasion of a slight rally later in the day, but upon its denial a further attack was made upon values, which brought prices to the lowest point of the day. The fact that the coalers did not decline more than . they did despite the strike in the coal regions was regarded as an clement of strength, while Western Union was positively strong at times under the im pression that prevailed that the earnings for the current quarter will he more than usually heavy. Richmond & West Point was the principal objective point late in the day, be ing affected by the falling estimates of. the new cotton crop. The opening was decidedly weak at declines from Saturday's final prices of from ft to % per cent, with an exceptional loss in Wheeling and Lake Erie of 1% per cent. The market was restricted and a few stocks furnished a majority of the business done. Further declines were made in the first hour under the lead of Lacka wanna. but these were in part regained be fore noon. After that time decided weak ness was developed and material concessions were made throughout the list, the lowest figures being reached shortly after ' 1 o'clock. Dullness again overspread* the market and until late gin the day little movement noticeable, but in the last hour covering of shorts rallied the list a fraction, and the close was quiet but firm, Prices are invariably lower this evening, and Wheeling and Lake Erie lost 2%; Lake Erie and West ern preferred 2ft; Manhattan, 1%; Jersey Central; lft; New York Cen tral/Norfolk & Western preferred, Oregon Transcontinental & Heading. 1%; St. Paul, 1 ft: Kansas «5j Texas, Lake Shore, Omaha & -Richmond and West Point, 1.
