order and not very largf. It Is »a nervous

In this market futures followed Chicago

CHICAGO,. Sept. 20.— Active covering by
shorts as the result of n cold wave In the
Northwest caused a net advance of l%c In the
price of both wheat and corn here to-day.
Reports of general irost last night through
out the Dakotas and Western Minnesota gave
a strong start to the wheat market, there be
ing a lively demand alike from shorts and
commission houses. Thfl December option
opened with a gain of I to l',» to l!i©l%e, at
$1 IZMttl 0H%: May was up "ifivs to Hi&l%c.
at $1 10% to $1 11U- Fat-torn that contributed
considerable strength were the comparatively
mnall receipts in the Northwest and the ex
ceeding low grade of the fresh arrival?. Tho
market was affected also by a bulge. In corn
prices and by the firm tone of foreign grain
markets. On the resulting advance there was
considerable selling by pit tracers, causing a
Ioeo of much of the Initial gain. December de
clining to $1 09#i. Meantime May sold off to
$1 10%. The reaction, however, was- only t«m
porary, with bullish reports coming; from the
Northwest and the market at Minneapolis
showing a big advance, prices here started up
ward again. A smaller 'Increase .'than expected
In the world's visible supply was a factor that
stimulated buying late in the session. The
high point of the day was reached at $1 Cl>%
Tor December. May sold up to $1 ll^igl 12.
The market closed ftrongr. with December at
$1 mm and May at $1 U>i©l 11%.
Predictions that the cold wave In the North
west would swoop down upon the corn fields
of Iowa and Nebraska to-night gave shorts
a fright at the opening -of the corn market.
Traders had not yet entirely recovered from
the bullish statements of the two well-known
crop Experts made yesterday, and ihis fresh
source of anxiety caused ii wild scramble for
offerings. December 'closed with a pain of
l^at 61M&51Hs,c. A dispatch from New York
crediting James Jl Hill with a statement that
the total j-leld of corn will not exceed two
billion bushela gave tho market additional sup
port durinz the latter part of the day.
Oat3 held tirm. December closed Vie higher
at 32%c.
Provisions were stronz and active. - Contin
ued light hog receipts and stronger grain mar
kets were the principal Influences. At the
close January pork was up 57^c, .lard was up

NEW YORK. Sept. 20.— An expert crop
etfrnate of 1.900.0w,000 bushels of corn which
I was given to the public yesterday caused a
j momentary Jtimp in the corn market, which
»'as more than loft before the day was over,
while the corresponding decline in Stocks was
partly retrieved. But that estimate was re
inforced to-day by the expressed credence of
President Hill of the Great Northern Railway
and was thus given renewed influence on
stocks. The consequence was a decline in
prices, which affected not only the common
carriers, t>ut the stock carriers, the grangers,
the Pacifies, the coalers, trunk lines, and. In
fact, every department of the railroad list.
The scare over the corn crop probably had a
large share also in the weakness In the indus
trial l:.«t, although there were special causes
al«n at work in that department. The esti
mates of the crop, based on conditions past,
were given added force by the weather reports
snowing dangerously low temperatures In the
Northwest and forecasts of frosts for to-mor
rcw over a wide area In the West and North-
T.-est. The weekly crop bulletin of the Weather
Bureau was somewhat ambiguous and obscure
in its expression, but offered little to cheer
th« apprehensive over either the corn or cot
ton crop. The determined optimism with
which a large speculative element has ac
cepted every suggestion of crop damage for
seme time past was thu« rather severely tried.
The fall in prices which resulted for the first
time from gelling also disclosed the existence
of stop loss orders placed below the market
by holders anxious to limit their losses.
Another source of uneasiness seemed to be
the announced cut in steel billets and other
steel pioducts, which was announced here alter
the stock market closed yesterday, although
thlK action had been clearly foreseen and fore
toIJ" for many days past. In fact, some of
tUe recent strength of the steel stocks has been
b&j>ed on- the advantages expected to follow
this cut in attracting belated orders and fix
ing the stability of the market. Evidence of
Intended competition with United States Steel
la tome finished lines was also an influence on
that group. Amalgamated Copper offered some
temporary resistance to the 'decline, due to
an advance In grades of copper, but ulti
mately yielded. A more effective • resistance
wan offered by Union Pacific, which was 1 '-i-c
over last nlsbt. It was argued that Union
Pacific's com territory was comparatively safe
from frost damage and thl? statement may also
have been intended as a reassurance to wme
current rumor* regarding the health of the
head of the system. It could not be learned
that there was any actual calling of loans
on the Stock Exchange, but the tone of the
money market plainly continues to harden and
the prospect of retrenched credits? was un
doubtedly a factor in the liquidation of stock
holdings. Declines were fairly uniform at be
tween 1 and 2 points, but wide declines in a
few high-grade Investment stock* were a feat
ure. Such closely held stocks 'are easy to bid
tip for effect in a bull market and the aban
donment of protection for the high level Is
likely to be significant of the speculative mood
of those who advanced the price previously
for effect. Missouri Pacific's poor showing
of net earning! for July cost It an extreme
decline of 2^4. Union Pacific was turned
a~alr.st the bear* until they began to cover to
take profits In the final dealings and some
brisk rallies resulted, but the close was fever
ish and unsettled.
Bonds were weak. Total sales, par value,
$1,905,000. . United States bonds were un
cbansred on call.

want of water and overloaded trees. This
aj.rlles to the entire walnut area."
