WHEAT AND WEATHER LATTER HAD THE FLOOR TO THE EXCLUSION OF THE FORMER MOST OF THE DAY ACTIVE OPTION IS LOWER Flrmneis Shown by Previous Day's Wheat Market Was Still in Evi dence at the Opening, but There Were No Influences to Induce Trading — Large Western Move ment a Prominent Feature of Day. Close. Day. December wheat, Minneapolis..6B 68 1-16 December wheat, Chicago 71% 71%-% December wheat, New York 76% 76% December wheat, Duluth 68 65% CHICAGO, Sept. 7.—Traders in grain and provisions today devoted more time to swearing at the weather than to the markets, and the resulting narrow trad ing was productive of but insignificant changes in values, except in September oats, which advanced %@%c. Wheat closed %c lower. Corn was unchanged to a shade higher, and provisions a shade higher to 2%c lower. The firmness shown by yesterday's wheat market was still apparent at the opening in wheat, and notwithstanding unfavorable news Initial prices were a shade higher. Liverpool was about V*d higher, due to the adavnee here yesterday and to the continued droughts in India, and to this fact part of the buying which characterized the early trading was due. Offerings, however, soon exceeded the de mand, which was almost entirely from the outside, and the small opening advance was soon lost. Local professionals did little on the buying side and a liquidating movement of respectable proportions set in on the posting of Bradstreet's figures cm the world's available supply, which put the surplus at 139,000,000 bu, as compared with 5G,U00,(j00 bu last year. This soon ceased, and for the remainder of the ses sion trading was ridiculously small. The weather was too hot for even the most enthusiastic trader, and the pit for the greater part of the time was half desert ed. A feature was the large Western move ment. Primary receipts amounted to 1,154,000 bu, the same as last year. This fact had little effect on prices, but In creased the bearish feeling among trad ers, and little support of any kind was forthcoming until the price had got" below juts, when realizing and buying against : privileges caused a slight rally and gave the market an appearance of firm ness toward the close. The cash demand here was slow, but the seaboard reported a moderate export demand, with fifteen loads engaged. Minneapolis and Duluth ts amounted to 739 cars, against 550 last v.-eek and 929 a year ago. Chicago receipts were 152 cars, three of which was contract grade. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour aggregated 444,000 bu. December wheat opened a shade higher at 71 3ic and sold immediately at 71% c. It slowly declined to 71Vi@71%c and rallied to 71% c, where it closed. Corn barely held its own, with the range narow anil the trade In general s:ow. There was some attempt by profes sional bulls to boost prices on the dry, hot weather, but predictions of general rains brought selling orders. Receipts, Bol*cars. December ranged from 28% cto and closed unchanged at 23c. Sep tember closed a shade higher, at 31%@32c. There was a fair-sized business done in September oats, and that commidity ad vanced sharply. The buying was done mostly by cash people, who were evident ly short, and there was little offered. The large cash demand continued, and this probably was the cause of the Sep tember (strength. Receipts 355 cars. De cember ranged from 20% cto 20%@20%c an.l closed »,4c higher, at 20% c. September sold as #high as 21% c and closed %<g%c higher, at 21% c. Provisions were dull and after a little firmness around the opening rather heavy. At the close October pork was 2%c lower, at $8.22%; October lard, a shade lower at $5.35, and October ribs a shade higher, at $5.35.

GRAIN" GOSSlP—Gossip by private wire to H. C. F. Smith & Co., St. Paul, mem bers of the New York stock exchange and Chicago board of trade.—Prime says: "Corn reports from along the line of the Illinois Central in Illinois show 50 per cent of the corn out of the way of frost. Late corn needs two weeks yet. Dry weather has reduced quantity and qual ity of corn. Amount of old corn 50 per cent less than at this time last year. Farmers holding reserves of old corn for 3('C. Corn reports from Eastern Nebraska Indicate that 75 per cent of the crop Is now safe, more or less of the late corn has been damaged the last ten days by excessive heat and dryness. Old corn is well 1 cleaned up. Oats have been moving quite freely, and there is every prospect that the movement will continue on pres ent lines. Spring wheat reports from sta tions in the southern portion of South Dakota show that since threshing is well along the quality varies a great deal. Only a very small proportion of the wheat will grade No. 1. Old wheat in farmers' hands is less than a year ago. Shocked wheat has been damaged in the fleM by rain mora or less since harvest. Reports from Eastern Kansas enow that fall plowing for wheat has ceased. Ground ought to be ready, but considerable Is not. Corn has been losing ground every day for the last ten days. Former big estimates of yield of corn for the lower Missouri valley will have to be cut down from 20 to 30 per cent." Kansas City wires: "Following' letter from Paola, Kan.: 'The hot winds of yesterday and today have literally dried up the late corn, of which there is % to % of the acreage. Frost could do no more dam age now. The best farmers say that corn will not average now 20 bu per acre. All corn is made now, the late as well as early.' " Kelly, of St. Louis, says the government will show 72 for condition of combined winter and spring wheat crops; this will be the lowest for twelve years, and if the spring wheat tost anything during August it will be even lower than 72.

THE ST. PAUL GIrOBE, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1899. BEARS HAD AN IMING STOCK MARKET SUCCUMBED TO THE COMBINED INFLUENCES THAT PREDOMINATED CALL MONEY WAS HIGHER Depression In Foreign Stocks, Dne to the Wai Cloud In the Tranti vaal, Also Had Its Effect to the Advantage of the Dealers Who Were -Pounding Doun Prices— Bund» Showed Weaakcning. Prey. Close. Day. Car silver, New York 69 59% Call money, New York 4@6 3% NEW YORK, Sept. 7.—The market suc cumbed to the combined influences of hardening rates tor call money anJ the depression in foreign stock markets on account of the gathering war cloud in South Africa. A few of the highly spec ulative industrial specialties were marked up in the early dealings and-at different times during the day in an effort to resist the decline. The attempt proved unavailing to overcome the depression in the general list and the manipulative stocks in some cases finally weakened, though a few retained a net advance. Tennessee Coal was marked up a point at the opening, but that was the highest of the day. Sugar, Tobacco, Brooklyn Transit, Federal Steel and a few other stocks among the most prominent indus trials vibrated both above and below last night's prices. Pullman Palace Cat was at one time up four points, but lost it all. The American Car stocks rose 2 points each, but the preferred receded to the level at the opening. Pressed Steel Car preferred advanced a pofnt in the closing dealings. Those movements, a reflection of tho large demand for railroad equipment growing out of the prosperity of the railroads, had little effect on the gen eral list. The American Hoop stocks were strong on reported large earnings, rising 3 for the common and 1% for the preferred. There were some large or ders executed for United States Leather, which raised the price a point. The pre ferred stock advanced in sympathy, but lost all the gain. These were the only Important exceptions to the weakness of the active stocks. St. Paul showed some resistance, but gave way with the other grangers when Intimations were heard of opposition to an increase in the dividend rate on the part of directors. (On Sept. 8, a year ago, St. Paul was pushed up in the morning to 115 on the rumor that the semi-annual dividend would be in creased over the 2% per cent rate.) When i the rate was announced in the afternoon the stock slumped nearly 5 points and broke the whole market. The rate still continues at 2*4. Declines in the railroads are quite uni formly between 1% and 2 per cent, in cluding the prominent grangers, South western, Pacific trunk lines and South ern railroads. Stocks which have had a recent sharp advance show wide de clines. Colorado Fuel, Hocking Valley, New Jersey Central, Northern Pacific, the Republic Steel stocks and Tennessee Coal are instances; though the latter stock recovered its decline. Money on call commanded 5 per cent most of the day and went as high as 6 per cent, with only a few exceptions be low 5 per cent. "The subtreagury had a small debit balance at the clearing housj | today, but the banks have lost over ! $3,000,000 to that institution since Friday | and expect to increase that amount be fore the close of the week. There were further transfers to the South today and the banks are still losing on balar.es to the interior. The hardness of money here did not avail to lower the rate of sterling exchange, In view of the increaga in discounts in London, which also had the effect of raising the rate of sterling exchange in Paris and Berlin. London's sales of about 20,000 shares of stocks here helped to_ keep up the exchange rate. It is apparent that under present I conditions abroad, a considerably higher rate for money here will be required to Induce imports of gold. Bonds showed a weakened tendency In sympathy with stocks, Kansas & Texas seconds being notably affected. Total sales par value, $1,523,000. United States bonds unchanged in bid price. STOCKS.

Americans also were sold but not pressingly. The close was heavy at the worHt." WALL STREET GOSSIP—New York stock gossip, reported by H. Holbert & Son, bankers and brokers, 341 Robert street, National German-American Bank building, St. Paul: Strong, Sturgis & Co. wire us: "This 5 per cent rate for call money has had rather the effect of cold frost upon the budding of a bull mar ket and the advance has been checked. We are not looking for calamities, quite the contrary and we recognize the pros perous conditions surrounding railroads and mercantile ventures and the favora ble state of the crops. Still we are ap proaching autumn sfate elections which may produce unsettling elements. We may soon see European war and we may have a still more active money. Are we then unwise to think we may buy the leading shares cheaper at a later date? It is not a question of values for they are admitted, but it Is a question of time or perhaps more properly of selection. Without doubt purchases now made will pay largely in the future. The questlm is will not the purchase price be less by waiting? We feel that this question is quite an open one and to be considered well." Barrett, Farnum & Co., Chicago, tele graphed the following to Edwards & Bedell, stock brokers and commission merchants, 110 Endloott Arcade, St. Paul, Minn.: "There appeared to be Inside buy- Ing In Brooklyn Rapid Transit around 104 traders bought moderately with Idea stock would advance later In the day. London closed irregular with some selling of Louisville & Nashville and Northern Pacific continental bourses also weak. Consols reflected uncertain political feel- Ing by declining fractionally." "Lon don was quite large seller of arbitrage stocks, Including Anaconda, later being taken by supposed Insiders. Thought to be covering In Sugar. Steadiness of mar ket In face Transvaal news brought some Increase in commission buying. London sold considerable Anaconda this morning and stock was taken by representative of city bank without price being allowed to decline." I—^1 —^ Bouiticru Literature.

CATTLE—Receipts of native cattle have been liberal this week, while there has been a scarcity of Westerns, both feeders and fat stuff. The demand for good cattle of all kind 9 has been good and, with the exception of stock heifers, prices paid quite a little higher than last week. There has been a good mar ket for fat cattle. We have had some native corn-fed steers in that were hardly better than fair in quality and yet sold for $5.20. Better prices could easily be obtained for choice stuff. The bulk of the Western butcher steers have sold at $4.50@4.75, and the cows at $3.50@ 3.75. The quality, like that of the na tive steers, was only fair and the run was light. Heavy feeders have been in best demand, and the choice stuff has sold exceptionally well. Stock cows and heifers have sold fairly well at about steady prices. Steer and heifer stock calves have found a ready market at high prices. Stock bulls are also sell ing fairly well. Milkers and springers continue to sell rather slowly at lower prices. common to good, $3.25@3.75; best feeding steera, $4@4.75; fair to good, $3 25&3.50; common and off-colored $3@3.50; best stock heifers, $3.25@3.50; fair to good $3® 3 25; common and off-colored, $2.60@2.90, young feeding cows !250@3; best stock yearlings and twos, $4@4.40; medium $3 50 @4; fat bulls, $3.25@3.€0; bologna bulls, $2 75@3.10; stock and feeding bulls, $2.

Prices paid were fairly steady, and the yards were well cleaned up of everything but tail ends Western feeders and butcher cows sold well. Native cattle also brought good prices.
