TOHB FORCES WHEAT UPWARD Continuous Rains in the North western States Make Bull ish Grain Market. The wheat market yesterday closed a Bhade higher. The continuous rains in the Northwest brought more reports of damage to crop and the weather was the principal bull factor. The European sit uation is- easier and the demand yesterday for export was poor. A higher and active market is looked for. » The failure of the predicted frosts to materialize made corn a weak market at the opening yesterday. The weather in the .southern half of the corn belt is favor able and every day puts the crop further away from the danger of damage by a cold wave. Some Chicago operators yes terday sold a large line of long corn. The stock market is stronger and high er, but trade still remains quiet. It is im possible to interest outsiders in the mar ket. The bear element again yesterday raided the market, but met with little success. ■ "-.i'- . - • : ■:: What the Brokers Say. M. Doran & Co.'s Chicago grain letter Bays: /Wheat—The Northwestern wheat situa tion could hardly be stronger than it is at the present time. Continued rains in that territory have not only caused a destruc tion in quality, but it has gone so far that there is no question but what it has shortened the quantity. While the news from the Northwest has been very strong all day and furnishes strength for this market, the foreign situation has been about the opposite. There has been con siderable buying of December and selling of May by one of the largest elevator concerns here, who is again becoming a uig_ factor in our market. Corn—This was entirely a weather mar ket up to about 12 o'clock, when a promi nent heavy operator sold out his line. The forecast is for frost generally throughout the corn belt, especially heavy in Ne braska. The buying on break seemed to be of a general character. Several large short lines were covered and there was Quite good buying for investment just be fore the close. Oats—Oats have been featureless. While the market .-.as been rather firm it was in sympathy with our markets. At one : time tne market was %c to %c over Monday, closing at about the same prices The wet weather was the bull factor. O'Connor & Van Bergen's stock letter Bays: i During the first hour of the session the Btock market was considerably unsettled ; and prices reacted sharply. Apprehen sion of further damage in corn and con- I tinued rumors of a Western house in i trouble and bank loans being liquidated helped the decline. Later in the day speculation became extremely dull and _ the market showed a much "firmer tone at the close. The Atchison annual re port is well worth careful examination. The stock business at present is purely professional and fluctuations have but very indirect connection with the rise and fall of values. The outcome of crops and the possibility of a close money mar ket have to a great extent been care lully considered and discounted, and the present unsatisfactory conditions here are due, in our opinion, to the fact that pub he confidence has been so repeatedly shaken and misled. the announcement from day to day of the dissolution of one or more syndicates showing large losses to the participants. J. C. Geraghty & Co.'s correspondents say of stocks: Logan & Bryan—The market closed strong and higher. Raiding and selling by the bear element was resumed again but a.s heretofore succeeded in dislodging very few long stocks. The present owners of securities seem pretty well satisfied with their holdings. The short interest must be large. The tight money scare is wear ing away. The West is not drawing any considerable funds from the New York banks and in our judgment are not going to. High pi ices to farmers for every thing produced will make a good general movement in distribution of merchandise the coming year. There is no reason why the earning* of any of the properties ehould decrease. VARIOUS LIVE STOCK MARKETS. « CHICAGO.

NEW YORK. Sept. 15.—Extensive short selling, not unmixed with some liquidation, was the feature of the day's stock, par ticularly during the early session. Much of the selling was based on unfavorable crop reports. While the market movement was gov erned largely by this factor, others almost as serious exerted nearly as much influ ence. London reported that the Mace donian situation had assumed a more se rious aspect, and this, with the probable crisis in the British cabinet, bringing in creased weakness to consols, made for lower prices- A further hardening of dis .C?F" £°, don and Paris was reported, although Paris exchange on London was easier^ For all that, London bought per heps 5,000 shares on balance, chiefly Atchison, Southern Pacific and Erie. It is quite probable that all of these transac tions were of the arbitrage sort. The lo cal market opened with rather more than the recent amount of activity, giving promise of a busy day. Fractional declines were the rule, but a rally soon followed under the lead of Atchison. St. Paul Is Strong. Other features of strength at this time were St. Paul and Reading. A number of inactive issues, including General Elec tric. National Biscuit and Virginia-Car olina Chemical, were traded in moderately, all declining. The Steel stocks held bare ly steady, and the street was inclined to take a pessimistic view of the call issued bjr the syndicate to carry out the bond conversion. The heaviness of Amalgamat ed Copper indicated a drop in Rio Tintos abroad. The market continued comparatively narrow and irregular, but in the late trad ing prices moved up and there was con siderable short covering. A decline of 3% per cent in the Steel 5 per cent bonds was in striking contrast to the material improvement made in the final trading by the grain-caruring roads, also by Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. Private advices indicating that early re ports as to crop damages had been some what exaggerated were largely responsible for the comparative strength of the mar ket at the close. Increased Earnings. The Erie statement for the quarter end ed June 30 was issued, showing: an in «e^e«in net earnings of more than $1,500,000 and a surplus increase of $250 - 000. An increase of $222,000 in net earn ings for the year.was shown by the Chi cago, Indianapolis & Louisville road. There was only a slight further drain on local cash holdings, $150,000 being shipped to New Orleans. An item of greater sig nificance was the government report, showing an excess of imports over ex ports for August of $7,550,000. The feature of the bond market was the heavy liquidation United States Steel second martgage ss, which declined to 75. The.general market showed some heavi ness in. sympathy. Total sales, par value, $1,580,000. United States 2s, registered advanced % per cent and the new 4s % per cent. The 2s, coupon, declined % per cent on the last call. Closing List.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.—Wheat was easy at the opening, but gained strength, clos ing firm at a gain of %c for December. Corn ruled weak, December closing %c lower. Oats were steady at a small ad vance. December closing %c higher. Provisions were easier, closing unchang ed to 15c lower. The early wheat market showed an easier tone and tfier e was a disposition on the part of long holders to let go. December responded with a decline from 82 %c to 82c within the first hour. Easier cables and weakness in corn were the influences, but reports of the effects of rains from the Northwest grew more sen sational, and houses with Northwest con nections and local shorts bought. Re ceipts were fair, but offerings became limited and the market soon reacted, December going to 8314 c. At that price there was profit-taking on a large scale, and a part of the advance was lost, the closing showing December back to &2%<® 82% c, a gain of Vie. Trading was active and on a large scale. Clearances of wheat and flour equaled 296.400 bu. Primary receipts were 1,060, --000 bu, against 1,888.000 bu last year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 1.051 cars, which with local receipts of 130 cars—only 4 of contract—made a total for the three points of 1,189 cars, against 1.941 cars last week and 1,481 cars a year ago. Corn Traders Hold Off. Corn had occasional spurts of activity, but on the whole traders appeared to be holding off until conditions can be more accurately judged. Prices were down early because the expected frosts were not realized, but upon renewed reports of threatened freezing weather West there was renewed activity in the ranks of the shorts. The result was a reaction from 51 %c for December, the lowest point reached, to 52% c, but the strength did not hold. Profit-taking brought the price of that option back to 51 %c, where it closed, barely steady, with a. loss of %c. The market was nervous, offerings light and trade very moderate in volume. Lo cal receipts were 765 cars, with 45 of contract grade. The oats market was sympathetic, wheat being the governing influence. Lo cal bulls preferred the long side on the weather outlook, but trade was small and featureless. December closed 3gc higher at 38i4c after ranging between 37% c and 38%e. Local receipts were 209 cars. The early provision tone was steady on the hog situation, 'with prices unchang ed, but there was free scattered selling later and the close showed October pork off 15c at $13.67%. with lard down 7%c to 10c at $8.35 and ribs unchanged at $9. i The estimated receipts for tomorrow are: Wheat. 9"0 cars; corn. 315 cars; oats, 70 cars, and 25,000 head of hogs.

To 11:30 September was up to 91c. December had sold to 93% c and May to 84?8C. .It was the same story of bad weather, continued rains and frost predictions. Frost was expected last - night over lowa and Nebraska and further south. Monday there was this same prediction, but Monday night the cloudy skies and drizzling rains saved the corn. This absence of . frost . was the bear card at the start, but the bulls 'figured that frosts would come last night for cer tain and bought freely. Reports from the Northwest were bad, and much dam age was shown in North Dakota. ■/- The prediction for the Northwest was for showers and cooler weather last night, and today partly cloudy. Yesterday the situation was exactly the same. The ."market is up all around, partly in an ticipation . of frost damage to corn, and m good part on the damage that the trade feels must have occurred in wheat, even though detailed damage reports are lack ing as yet. And so it is about a duplica tion, of Monday's situation. Freezing tem peratures are shown through the Dakotas, but no dangerously low temperatures In Kansas, lowa. Missouri,;. Illinois or in other corn states. It is generally cloudy and the whole -Northwest, and Southwest had some rain during the; past twenty four hours. It is a question of whether the freezing temperatures which have ad vanced, as far south as Northern Ne braska will move further south. The situation is possibly a little more "critical than ' Monday because Cheyenne shows only 22 above. Receipts, 648 cars. .
