6 THE COMMERCIAL RECORD The Disposition of the Crowd on the Chicago Board Was Bullish. Bnt Outside Speculation Was So Light That Little Buying Was Done. Transactions In the Financial Circles of Wall Street—The General Quotations. Chicago, Sept. There was a bet ter un dertone to the wheat market to-day and prices were well sustained, despite the fact that the crowd was bearish and depressed and cables lower. The blackboard pre sented a rather better face, exports being 157.000 bushels and primary points receipts 407.000 bushels. There was only a moder ate inquiry, but the presence of speculative offerings was not excessive, and there is less hedging against wheat in the Northwest. The mills in the Northwest and around about St. Louis are rushed with business, and as millers are making big money they are no longer under the necessity of protect ing themselves by hedges. A leading St. Louis miller, who. was on "change to-day. says 70 per cent, of the new crop of wheat in Southern Illinois has been marketed and that 00 per cent, of the "Missouri crop has passed out of farmers' hands. Corn opened firm, but the market softened under free speculative selling. The price slid off t*»c on increased receipts, estimates for to-mor row being 510 cars, when less than 400 had been counted on. October broke from4lV»c to 41c, November from 41»8C to 4 Use and May from 44<ttc to _-****;_. The market was fairly active and the temper of the crowd oearish. Provisions sold off to-day on heavy receipts of hogs and lack of investment sup port. October ribs led in the decline, break ing from 8*^.45 to $5.30 in ten minutes, re covering 10c,- however, but again going to "58.20. January rite dropped from $0.27"*.i> to .6. 17i*_>. The market BECAME QI'ITE STEAUT at the decline. Lard displayed symptoms of weakness, October declining by noon from $0.35 to §6.32>-; November from 96.30 to 16.27^., and January from !j6.37"A®6.40 to £0.35. January pork declined from $12.30 last night to $12.20. The grain market had a very solid closing at 1 o'clock. Wheat quo tations at that time was at the outside tor the day. and corn regained a portion of the ground that had been lost. The markets were active audexcited during the last quarter hour of the long session. The jump in wneat was due to the fact that the scalpers discov ered, or thought they did, which amounts to the same thing, that Ream and Cudahy had been picking up the wheat on them and were about to give the shorts a whirl. After noon markets— crowd has been bearing wheat for several days. A big buying order was received just before the 1 o'clock close, and there was nobody left to sell. December was advanced to 72<4C and then to 72V2C, with little trading. At 72t»c millions of bushels changed bauds, and the pit was not cleared for ten minutes after the tap of the bell.

CniCAGo, Sept.2l.—While the disposition of the wheat crowd . on' .'change to-day was rather bullish, outside speculation was so light that nothing was done in the way of pronounced buying. Considering the light ness of speculation in wheat, values held remarkably steady during the greater part of the session. As on yesterday, shortly before the close, there was an attempt on 'the part of wheat shorts to cover. In a few minutes some old time activity was seen in the pit, and wheat went up t.^c at once before the closing bell rang, and it was with difficulty that the officers of the floor could stop the trading and excitement in the pit. All futures sold at least Vie over the official quotations and the close at 1 p. m. The receipts show some thing of a falling off today, aggregating at twelve points 595,000 - bu, * and the shipments were larger, footing up 468.000 bu. The shipping and export de mand was limited and interfered with by the advance in European freights. October opened at 69c; declined to 68!!4*@68'ifec. re acted to 69i,fcc, declined again to 68?4@68'!'3C, reacted and closed at 69 11-16 c. Corn showed considerable weakness, due in part to the large receipts announced for to-mor row (510 cars), and partly to the large offer ings of prominent local operators when it was moderately active. The market opened at about the same as yesterday's closing prices, with offerings free, and prices de clined %©i,*2C the near futures showing the greater weakness, then ruled firmer and closed Vk@%c lower than yesterday. October opened at 41Vac, sold down with small fluc tuations to 41c, advanced and closed at 41i& (2,41 May opened at 44*!4c, receded ir regularly to 44% c, recovering to 44*%e» the closing price. Oats were nearly lifeless. There was no change in prices ex cept late in the afternoon, when September was marked up Vsc. higher. Holders of pro visions unloaded freely, owing to the unex pectedly large receipts of hogs and the con sequent decline of 15@.20c in the market value of the animals. There were no outside buying orders of consequence, and prices of October short ribs opened 7'/ic lower, at $8.45, tumbled to $8.20, rallied to $8.30, re ceded to $8.20 and at 1 o'clock were §8.22"&, a net decline of 30c.

The market was active and strong, and the demand good, a great many orders from the outside being on the floor. Other American markets were firm and advancing, with business more lively.

The stock market to-day was slightly less active than on yesterday, but was equally, feverish and subject to sudden changes from activity to dullness and strength to weakness and vice versa. The activity was most noticeable during the weak spells in the forenoon, and later In the day during the strong periods. There was a disposition to await the action of the treasury, but in the absence of liquida tion the bears attacked the list again with. marked success. The weakness was intensi fied after the small amount of funds offered became known, but a better feeling prevailed later, and the bulls assumed command of the market. The general opinion seemed to be that the small offering of bonds indicates that the government has absorbed the floating supply of the 41.2s and will have to buy 4s and Os in order to relieve the pressure upon the money market. The notice of the limit offerings caused a rush by the bears which, notwithstanding the resisteuce offered by the purchases for foreign account and the more influential room traders, forced prices down sharply for a short time. The oversold condition of the market is shown by the fact that most of the active stocks loan at a premium for use, and the bulls assert that any attempt to cover the outstanding shorts would.precipitate a rise of 10 per cent. The activity in Reading was very great, but its influence upon values was not greater than Western Union, New England or St. Paul. There were no special favorites in the list,but ! all were equal sharers in the movements of the day. Under the influence of a more hope ful feeling and purchases by the foreigners, prices were materially higher at the opening, advances ranging up to ft per cent. The improvement was quickly lost, however, the market being weak from the opening and in the first twenty minutes Missouri Pacific lost 1% and the other lesser amounts, though specially heavy losses were sustained by some of the specialties. The market rallied", recovered most of the loss, but again became weak and active before noon and from V*» to I*4 percent, was knocked off of values with Western Union leading the decline, though it was later displaced by New England. The decline received an impetus after 12 o'clock," and the lowest figures * generally: were reached by 12:30, when a decidedly" strong tone market, the dealings and prices, rose rapidly until 2 o'clock, when a quiet period occurred. . The advance was resumed with force after delivery hour and the close was j strong at the best prices of the day.
