Call money, New York 2 iy,@2 I 1 _ " I CHICAGO, Sept. 15.— Wheat acted for a long time today as if the bull clique had j :s grip on the market., Seaboard en gagements came to the rescue, however, and after selling 1%? below yesterday's price De cember rallied and closed where it left off the day before. Sharp bear raiding in corn resulted in a W,£%c decline In that market. | Oats closed unchanged, and provisions un changed for lard and ribs to 10c lower for pork. Wheat was a puzzle at the opening. It was difficult to account for, the V*c advant-e with j which the market started, the Liverpool mar- i ket, which usually influences the opening j tone here showing declines of ] .2@%d. It j Was claimed in a dispatch from Minneapolis that the threatening returns in the Dakotas and Minnesota indicated a crop for the three | states of not to exceed 125.000.000 bu, but there was not much confidence here in such a lew estimate. Paris was reported from 10 to 15 centimes higher at the opening, and the advance here was ascribed by some people ] to that. But the opening strength quickly I faded. December, which closed yesterday at 94'^@94%c, started today at 94%@94%c, but in j two minutes it was down to 94% c. There was no statistical reason for the decline. It was due apparently to a total lack of support, scarcely any demand appearing until 94}4c had been touched. A recovery to 95c then ensued. But the next two hours the bc%r ishness that succeeded the momentary open- Ing bulge became more pronounced, and the price suffered accordingly. The market broadened as the price sank, and with such evidence before them that the bull clique had kst Its grip the short sellers became more courageous and pressed their advan tage. Chicago received 270 car loads, of which 29 were contract. The quantity inspected out of store was 53.530 bu. Minneapolis and Duluth received SSS cars, compared with 932 the cor responding day of the year before. Antwerp showed weakness, with a decline of 37M.C, or equal to 2e per bu, and Liverpool closed at a not decline for the day of %d per cental for futures, but unchanged for spot. About nowi tlu« market grew strong. The price of December had in the meantime declined to 92-% c, but from there it picl-ed itself up and rose stearin v to 94%©34% c. The recovery was due lo the enormous amount of the wait ing orcuis for wheat for export that were un covered by the early decline. New York va ried in the reports of tho actual quantity sold for export aJI the way from 75 to 200 boat loads. The close was firm at 94% c. Corn lo^t all the bullishness it displayed yctterd&y : and ruled lower all day. Various iflfluevces combined to cause the weakness. The brralc in wheat had some effect. Rain was reported in some portions of the corn b«lt, and more with cooler w?ather was promised. CuVes ware %@l%d loww. Rc cjipts, 553 cars, overran tho estimate. De cember sorted lower, at 3l%@ac It Boid dorn gradually under vigorous tear raiding to 31%ff8iy«c, when the' revival in wheat set ii:, and December torn recovered ! to 31?44y?1%c, where it closed. A Bale of 2f>0,000 bu for export frrom here was reported. Oats wero dull And vitwut epecial incident. At the opening the market was weak with corn, and II remained so for some time. It rallied on the excellent shipping demand, aiid dosed ft.rm. Receipts wcro posted at 290 cars. December rang--*! (T.-*m 21 ] itT21^i to 20% c, closing unjhanged, at 21V6. Proristcr.E again su_?*<fed from th« yellow fever newa frc-m the South. Prices ruled lower all around far most of the session, with a good deal of stop-loss selling. Ou the break there was good covering, and a gensral recovery ensued. Nercrtholess the market was wea.k at th« ciose.

Paris closed firm, and Ant werp lower. Russian cables reported stocks accumulating and freer offerings. Funny, isn"t it, that Russian stocks should increase from bare fields?

CHICAGO, Sept. Itgj-A heavy run of cat tie was at hand today and feebleness was evi dent on every hand. A large proportion of tne native steer Stock which was below good quality had to » s^loc below Monday's values, making break of 15@20c on such grades since the jppenjng of the week. Sales ranged from $3.25(ff4.75. Trade in stockers and feeders was also slow and of small vol ume, sales ranging from $3.10®5.40. A good big 000 bulge In prices for veal calves brought values again close to last week's high range many good calves making $6.50@6.75 and choice lots $7. Only one load of poor Texas cows arrived, but there were upward of 6,000 \\ estern rangers on sale, that went at $2.75@ 2.80 for cows and heifers to $3.25@4.40 for steers. In hogs shippers took off a good many choice to prime light and medium sorts at 5c advance, but grades that had to depend on packing concerns for an outlet went slowly at £> a -ft£i f teady Prices. Heavy hogs sold at foA ' comm on to choice mixed brought 53.»5@4.25, while light weights sold at $4@ 4.30. Pigs sold at $2.60«4.20 and culls at ¥1.75@3.75. Lambs could not stand the strain of continued heavy shipping today and dropped back 10@20c, selling slowly at that, only a few extra choice lots reaching $5 50, the bulk of good grades selling at $5@5.25. and many very "desirable feeding lambs around $4.50.

MISCELLANEOUS. NEW YORK DRY GOODS. NEW YORK, Sept. 15.— Dry goods failed to develop anything today in the way of abso lutely new features in any direction. Buy- Ing at first hands was reported as small, with buyers in limited attendance. Mail or ders provided an cutlet for some fair sized lots of bleached and brown staple cottons in the lighter weights. The market for export goods is still dull. Ducks are without feature in the buying, though firmly held at ad vance prices. Print cloths are unchanged at 2%e. The demand for printed fabrics is still favorably reported, the urgent call for quick deliveries, indicating that shocks in the hands of jobbers are generally light. Prices rule firm' on both starle and fancy makes, with many of latter told up entirely at first hands. In the woolen goods division of the market buying at present is on a limited scale. In jobbing circles business continues on a very liberal scale. NEW YORK MARKET. NEW YORK. Sept. 15.— Hay easy. Hops quiet. Hides firm. Leather firm. Beef firm. Cut meats dull. Lard dull. Pork dull.

BALTIMORE, Sept. 15.— The Repub j lican state convention, adjourned from I Ocean City on -Aug, -26, reassembled in I Raines hall, this city, today, for the ' purpose of coirfpletirig the work begun ' at the previous ! 'session. In the interim many things h&ve happened that ma terially alter the political situation in Maryland, and, render the outcome of the elections in.- November more doubt ful than ever. Senator Wellington, for merly head of the Republican machine, has been deposed, after a bitter fac tional fight. The colored element, which compose more than a third of the Republican voting strength in the state, has become disaffected, and threatens to bolt the Republican party in a body. The convention nominated by acclamation Philip I. Goldsborough for comptroller, and Gen. Allen Ruth erford for clerk of the court of ap peals. State Senator Norman B. Scott was elected chairman to succeed Unit ed States Senator Wellington, who it is understood will take no part in the coming campaign. fIIGH-fIECORD PRIGES BURLINGTON AND ST. PAIL BOTH LV FIXED. OVER THE MARK RECENT GENERAL LIST IRREGULAR. AVERAGE LEVEL OF QUOTATIONS HIGHER AS THE DAY'S NET RESULT. INDUSTRIALS REMARKABLY WEAK Less Heard of Immediate Gold Im ports, the Exchange Market Be ins Firm in Tone. NEW YORK, Sept. 15.— Today's market was extremely irregular, but the average level of prices was lifted as a result of the day's operations. Tho strength shown was very aggressive In spots but many of the shares recently active in the market moved scarcely at all. The Vanderbilts were again a center of strength on the reports of large increase In earnings and most of them advanced a point or more in the day's trading. New York Central was heavily dealt in and ad vanced 1% on the estimated increase in the surplus, for the current quarter, of $672,957 and in the reported increase in the gross earnings for the first week in September of over $180,000. Northwest and Omaha also con tinued their concurrent advance on the bene fits to accrue from the prospective increase in Omaha's dividend, the extreme rise in each exceeding 2 per cent during the day with a :eaction on profit-taking. Lake Shore also was taken in hand by the bull element dur ing the final hour of trading and rushed up 2% per cent, apparently for effect in sustain ing the balance of the market. The same element was instrumental in hoisting the price of Pennsylvania, which has only been listed for a short time on the New York ex change 3% points, the subsequent reaction be ing about yz. A jump of twenty points in Consolidated Gas, even though it was on a limited volume of transactions, was also a sensational feature in the market. The recent speculation which has centered in Union Pacific caused the advance in that stock and benefltted the price to the extent of over a point Kansas & Texas pfd continued to manifest the strength which has characterized it in the recent speculation and advanced over a point. Reports circulated of large increase of earnings turned attention to General Elec tric and that stock rose at one time nearly 2 points. These elcmocta of strength 00i.'.'.0 not but serve to sustain the market and the advance of St. Paul and Burlington to new high record prices for the year were additional factors. But nevertheless there were conspicuous ex ceptions to the strength of the market, such stock as Missouri Pacific, Atchison pfd, Northern Pacific pfd, Louisville, Southern pfd, C, C, C. & St. L. and C. & O. lagging quite heavily in the advance and in some cases closing below yesterday. A num ber of the industrials were conspicuously weak, including Sugar pfd, Leather pfd, Illi nois Steel, Tennessee Coal and Bay State Gas. Sugar common, which sold ex-dividend today, 16st all of its early gain before the close. The coalers were comewhat heavy dur ing the day, but improved slightly before the close, apparently in sympathy with the lively advance in Ontario & Western and S. & W. pfd. The latter jumped s'/4 points and reacted. Chicago Gas and Laclede Gas were quite strong, the former advancing nearly 3 points and the latter 4 points, both showing a subsequent reaction. Less was heard today of the prospect of im mediate gold imports, the exchange market showing a steady tone, though very dull, and no further hardening of the rate for money in the local market being preceptible. Exchange Is still fully a cent above the gold import point, but it seems evident that any material rise in money rates here would be met by gold imports and consequently by a check to the advance. One of the features of the day in Wall street was sales of Stand ard Oil liquidating certificates on the curb at Sul'/i, which is 9'i points advance over the highest previous price. There w.as considerable decrease in the vol ume of bond dealings but prices generally advanced. Total sales $2,543,100. United States old fours were % lower bid.

Sept. 15.— The Evening Post's London financial cablegram: The stock set tlement has been satisfactorily concluded, and the business in the stock market today was quiet, except in American rails, and in Grand Thunk, which has rispn sharply on the New York lead. A feature tonight is the rise in Union Pacific to nearly 24. The condi tion of exchange on New York attracts at tention, but the best informed still look for no gold movement to New York, until next month. I have some reason to believe that the- directors of the Bank of England will to morrow publicly disavow any truth in the re cent reports of an increased holding of sil ver reserve. South American stocks were dull and Kaffirs were firm. The rise in Paris exchange on London is immediately due to large wheat purchases from America. London private discounts are firm; a large business is now being done in the open market by the bank. The market in Berlin was steady and that at Paris was irregular and quiet. NEW YORK MONEY. NEW YORK, Sept. 15.— Money on call firmer at 1%(52 per cent; last loan, 2, closed 2 per cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4@4% per cent. Sterling exchange steady, with actual business in bankers' bills at $4.85®4.£>% for demand and at $4.82% for sixty days. Posted rates, $4.53%(54.84'.', and $4.86@4.56%. Com mercial bills. $4.51%(?i.82. Silver certificates, 56% c. Bar silver, 55% c. Mexican dollars, 43c. TREASURY STATEMENT. WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.— Today's statement of the condition of the treasury shows: Avail able cash balances, $216,749,152; gold reserve, $146,035,866. BANK CLEARINGS. St. Paul, $1,022,176.59. Minneapolis, $1,695. £63. New York, $72,664,944. Boston, $18,598,883. SALES OF SILVER. NEW YORK, Sept. 15-.— Sales of silver cer tificates representing 9,000 ounces were made today at 56Tic.
