The market was unusually nervous# ?changing from firmness to weakness at short intervals throughout the session. The decline at Liverpool received no | attention and commission house buying | was evidence at the start. "Foreign I news was still against market. The I strike of mill operatives in England is I causing hestitaney on the part of buy ers. Crop news, however, favored hold- j crs. Unfavorable weather is interfering ?with harvest in England and France and drought prevails in Argentina. Do-, mestic statistical news was rather bull- 1 ish. Clearances were liberal and pri- j mary receipts below those of a year ago. Cash wheat generally followed the futures. Late in the Season offering be came light and buying became more brisk. Export bids were mostly below a working basis according to seaboard advices and indications pointed to a light .day's business in that quarter. Political situation abroad remains about V>nchanged and futures act a little tired. Think any good decline will encounter ed a healthy demand, and that reasona bly high prices are to continue. Corn ? Frost was fully realized in the Corn belt last night. Northwestern Illi nois and Missouri and practically all of Iowa, Nebraska, Kansas and the north west reporting considerable. It is the popular view that the damage indicted was not great, nevertheless there was very good buying of corn on weak spots which followed an opening advance. This buying ultimately counted mate rially In favor of higher prices, the close being fairly strong. The demand for corn at outside points for export was good at strong demand. Forecast is for mors frost in some sections of the northern part o fthe belt to-night but mostly warmer Saturday. ? Oats ? Oats have foftowea the other grains, strong early with Corn, easing off later realizing sales, and fair scat tered commission selling, then rallying at the last because of fairly good buy ing of futures, mainly December, by ex port concerns. Saskatchewan crop hard hit by recent front which was a severe freeze. Provisions ? Firmer on further buying because of additional lard sales to Bel gian Relief. Buying was of a fairly good character and the list showed a good undertone. (By Harris Winthrop and C?v to Fidel ity Investment Association.) TOLEDO. O-. Sept. t?. ?

I CLOSING STOCK LETT IK I (By private wire to Fidelity Invcstnivn' I Association from Harris, W jnthrop a.- Co NL'W YORK. Sept. 10 ? Speculation was shifted this afternoon to the rail:-.
