Chicago, Sept. B.—The grain markets
were strong when trading began this morn
ing. Corn remained linn and steady, with
1 fairly good demand from conservative
buyers, but wheat early developed symp
toms of weakness, and alter a spasmodic
advance of %@}£c the market broke Xo
for October, lc for November and %c for
December. No special cause for the de
cline was assigned even by those who were
jelling grain, but there seemed to be a gen
eral giving way of the prophets, The New
York visible supply statement, showing an
Increase in the stocks in sight of 450,000
bushels, was a tor, and brought a number
of Wall street selling orders,
Visible signs of increasing ship
ments of wheat from producing regions
of the Northwest had a depressing influence
and tidings that2Ss cars of wheat had been
inspected at Duluth this morning, leaving
■ »on track not yet touched, was circulated
with a generous purpose of adding to the
current fund of information touching crop
movements. The thoughtful bulls, who
weie still patient in their faith in the wheat
of future, stood back satisfied that with
freight so low that Chicago wheat can ha
put down in New York at 3c net (deduct
ing the 2c rebate that is commonly believed
to be obtainable at our elevators), prices
have very little to do with trade depression,
and that no improvement could be counted
on, no mutter how low quotations ma go.
Traders that feel that way and who have
been

for a long period; have naturally grown
timid and to :i great extent they have with
drawn from the market, occasionally put
ting out a modest fooler but not attempting
to control liie current. What may be the
course of the market for to-morrow or next
week does not interest them as formerly.
They have transferred their trust from
present to the future. The decline this
morning was destined to be of short dura
tion. Active buying sprang up suddenly
ami it was bruited about that McGoch,
Sanderson and others, who arc popularly
classed as the Milwaukee board, had gone
into wheat for a big upturn. Quick to take
alarm the local scalping bears began covering
and the market advanced l)<c for October
and November, and 1 '.<• for December
from the lowest, which was 78 J£c for Octo
ber, 80;iC for November, and 82' ..'<• for De
cember, at "■'.;: .<\ s\'.t- and ,s:;:'„-. The

regaining lost ground and more. The 1
o'clock closing was \<- under the highest
prices of the morning, and at an advance
from yesterday's closing of '■-■: on the
lending futures. Cash, December and May
were %c better. Cash inquiry was light
and those in the trade had no new features
to report of an encouraging nature. New-
York was

on the advance, but ii was generally thought
by room traders that this branch of buying
was by shorts. There were no new devel
opments on the afternoon board, and the
close was steady at 78 ■ ■• September, 99% c
October, SlJ^c November, 83^c December,
91c May.
The New York estimate of the visible
sup] last week was much larger than the
Chicago estimate on both wheat and corn,
and it was this fact that led to the early de
cline. But present indications are that
movements from first hands will not be
very free at these low prices, and this gave
firmness to the market and courage
to the buyers. More than this we
will have another estimate from the Wash
ington agricultural bureau in a few days
which, it is calculated,will be much smaller
than the last one, and it is possible that the
market has now struck its lowest figure for
the present.
Only moderate speculative activity was
displayed in corn to-day and values were
steady, with an upward tendency. Cold
weather new.-- and a renewed exhibition of
faith in the cereal by parties who have
been buying a good deal lately served to
sustain the market Quite comfortably. Corn
continued strong to the end of the morning
and the slight advance was firmly estab
lished, In the cash market there is not
much demand for

the trade being mainly in' store and to go
to store. The late close was steady at

is not ripening as many would like to see
and the later the season is delayed the
greater the danger of an untimely nipping
by frost. Hence the markets remain firm
and prices go up easier than they go down.
But they do not go cither way very far be
fore buyers or sellers appear and cause a
reaction. Liverpool was steady to-day, but
without change of price. The increase in
visible supply, according to the Chicago es
timate, was very small, which shows thai
the stuff goes into consumption about as
fast as it is received.
Oats were stronger, under influence of re
duced stocks here, and the speculative grade
was '..•.■ higher, but quiet. September sold
iit i SsK(g2.')^c and closed at -25140. Octo
ber closed a: ::">.<■. November closed at
Ib%c, and May at ~^}4c.
Provisions are in a peculiar and, to the
speculative trade, not an altogether satis
factory condition these days. A large
amount of cash pork and meats are going
out, presumably into consumption, but
stocks are yet very large and receipts of
hogs heavy. The decline in live hogs may
check shipments somewhat, and indeed it
is claimed thai the movement has
already been checked, but for
how long none can tell. This
morning the offerings of ribs and mess pork
was heavy, and the market broke ~. !._.c for
pork and SOcfor ribs. Considerable prop
erty came out that was held on stop orders,
and Armour was said to be a free seller; but
If he was his brokers were buyers later, and
the market was put back to within 3^@sc
of yesterday's closing on pork and IS^C on
ribs. On the late board the feeling was
somewhat easier, closing 7}£c off for pork

DniitTTH, Minn.,-Sept. B.—ln our market
we have had an acdve business with a larger
volume of trading than for some days. Early
transactions developed a good demand. A
considerable amount of buying orders were
promptly tilled at The opening at prices in
dicating an appreciation over late sales of
yesterday of Icon the October deal and %c
on December. After the first rush was over
outside markets were evidently exhibiting the
same tactics that were followed here, and
shorts were not bo clamorous for wheat tit
the advance and began pounding it off, which
they did successfully to the extent of lea
bushel on October, that future selling down
to 81}/£c, December not being traded iv In the
meantime. At this point shorts wore
again free buyers, outside mar
kets Bending in buying orders liberally
which had its immediate effect upon values,
sending them up rapidly above opening quo
tations. Shortly after 12 o'clock October was
selling at SS%c, with December at 80c. No
-1 ember sold early at 82% c and later at 83% c.
No. 1 Northern seemed to be neglected to-day
and was but little traded in, Belling curly at
78c and later at 79c for October. Cash wheat
was but little dealt in. No. 1 hard sold early
to the extent of a single car at 81c, with No.
1 Norther at 78c. At 18:80 our market had
reached the highest point of the morning,
October selling at 82% c. which was liberally
I !d,3but before traders could agree the feel-
Ing was easier and lower figures were ac
cepted. The feeling at the close
was very strong and prices were at the
outside valuation of the morning. October

just tipped below 75 and started in the
other direction. The Vanderbllts seemed
to be supported; and both gained from tim
opening.; Jersey Central reached 40#, and
turned with "the rest. There was very
little feature or significance to the market,
prices being put up and down by the
scalpers and room traders to suit their own
convenience. The big bears professed to
be happy, and predicted lower prices. The
other side said the market was being let

at the higher altitude. Points were out that
the next dividend on Lackawanha would bo
2 per cent., as usual, notwithstanding the
state of the coal trade. Mr. Armour as
sures his friends that the St. Paul dividend
will be 2)4 per cent, in spite of a steady J
decrease in earnings during the quarter.
The Cum mack crowd are reported as still
bearing the market and they sold on
the rallies. Delaware & Lackawanna
weakened later in the day when
it was known that the Lehigh
Valley had reduced its dividend 2 per cent,
per annum, making it 1 per cent, quarterly.
It is the prevailing opinion that Delaware
& Lackawanna must soon make a reduction j
in its rates also, although its friends claim I
the earnings warrant a continuance of S
percent. In the final dealings the market
looked decidedly better than it did oil last
evening. There was a fair demand for
shares and prices were at about. the best
when the gong struck. Northwestern pre
ferreu was quoted, ex-dividend at 1% at the
finish.
New York, Sept. 8. — Government bonds
are dull and strong. State bonds are dull and
steady. There was nu average business to
day in railway bonds, sales amounting to
81,393,000, of which Erie 2d contributed
$040,000. The stock market was compara
tively quiet to-day and at times feverish,
especially during the first hour. After a
small advance In the early dealings there was
a break of % to V/ per cent, and the lowest
figures of the day were reached at
the end of the first half hour. After
11 o'clock prices became more steady
and the dealings, except occasional
spurts, were late in the afternoon,when there
was again some show of business, accom
panied by an upward movement that was
continued until the close of the board. In a
majority of eases the final prices are the
highest of the day, and from %<&% per cent
higher than the closingl quotations yesterday.
New York Central and St. Paul show again
of % each. Louisville & Nashville is up 1%
and Omaha preferred 1%, while the Northern
Pacific, Delaware & Hudson and Erie are un
changed. The unexpected reductions in the
Lehigb Valley dividend aro accepted as an
indication of the
VSBT UNSATISFACTORY
condition of the coal trade, and there is much
speculation a3 to the probabilities of a reduc
tion by Lackawanua in its next dividend. It
has been finally settled that tho Chicago,
Burlington & Quiney will build its exten
sion into the St. Paul's territory, which is ex
pected to lead to a railroad litf-'at in the North
west similar to that which has already been
experienced In the East. The old bull party
in Union Pacific is predicting 35 lor that

Chicago.
Special to the Globe.
Chicago, Sept. There was very
little change in the business situation to
day. Trade continues good and the pro
cess of stocking up for the fall and winter
business is still carried on. Speculation is
moderate, with values unsettled. The de- I
mand for money to go into the country is i
rather slackening than increasing. The j
present low prices for grain may diminish I
the freeness of movement from first hands.
At the banks business is little more than
routine in character. The loan ' market is I
far from active, but rates are steady. New I
York exchange sold at 25@40 discount.
with only a fair outside demand-,- Currency

WEEKLY REVIEW.
The wholesale market has shown an in
creased activity during the past week in all
departments, and jobbers are actively en
gaged endeavoring to fill their orders which
come in thick and fast. Hardware has been
very steady as regards prices, and very few
quotations need revision. There is evidence
of an improved feeling and of increased firm
ness. Manufacturers are reported to be
withdrawing their extreme quotations in
some lines, thus leaving themselves free to
avail themselves of the advantages of any
favorable turn in the market. In other cases
they are naming slightly advanced figures 011
certain lines, and they evince moro generally
than for a long time a disposition to adhere
to their prices, refusing to make con
cessions to the views of buyers as
freely as heretofore. In a few lines of goods,
stocks in manufacturers' hands are low, and
delay occurs in tilling orders. These indica
tions of a stronger condition of the market
are referred to by the trade with satisfaction,
and are the more significant as not resulting
from any concerted action on the part of the
manufacturers, but as a healthful reaction
from the extreme low prices that have pre
vailed. The volume of business is somewhat
greater than it has been, and indications of
increased activity arc seen on all sides, and
the opinion is freely expressed that if tho de
mand continues prices will soon be firmer, and
tho market more satisfactory than it has been
for some time. Nails have been advanced
by the eastern manufacturers, but dealers
here have not, up to the present time, in
creased the quotations. The August sales of
barbed wire are generally reported as having
been on a more liberal scale, and there is a
little better feeling, with a disposition in
some quarters to demand better figures.
There is a good deal more activity in the dry
goods market than there has been for some
time, and during the week all sections trib
utary to this market have been well repre
sented, and purchases havo been largo and
numerous. The market is very firm, with a
decided tendency to an increase in prices.
There seems to bo no room for doubt that
there will soon be a general advance, as goods
have been sold very low indeed. Groceries
are very active indeed and jobbers arc
rather behind in filling their orders,
and tho prospect is that tho present
week will be a very active one, as many people
from the interior will, without doubt, take
the opportunity of filling orders while in
attendance upon the state fair. The drug
market is very active and collections are im
proving. Alcohol is in short supply and al
most impossible to get from the manufactur
ers. Not a carload is obtainable at the present
timo, but supplies are promised in about a
week. Senega root is dull,morphino is lower,
quinine is very low, especially for the poorer
grades; turpentine is a little lower, camphor
has advanced lc, oil of peppermint has de
clined, potash chlorate is lower. Groceries
are generally steady and very active indeed,
and no change in quotations, except in sugar,
have occurred. Sugars have advanced slightly;
cut loaf, granulated, standard A and extra C
have advanced from %@%C.

Among- the Commission Men.
The commission men had their hands full
Of business during the ilrst part of the week,
up to the time -when the cold, disagreeable
rain began to fall. Then trade commenced to
fall oil. The cold Operated against dealing in
fruit to a considerable extent, and at the same
time many dealers had a number of consign
ments on the way. It was a bad fix to be put
into, but there was no way to do but to re
ceive the fruit and make as good a showing
as was possible under tho circumstances.
Next to peaches, pears and bananas, musk
melons are the worst trouble to take care of.
When delivered here a considerable part of
them are found to bo decayed. Several deal
ers have had very largo consignments come
in in very bad shape indeed. They seem to
get bruised while in transit, or perhaps
they are shipped in a little over
ripe condition. 11 the weather should clear
up, no situs of which appear at present,
trade would be resumed on a somewhat larger
scale than before. The business is hero and
must be transacted, and the country is in
much better condition now than at one time
it was expected It would be in. Watermelons
have been in large supply, but it has been a
little to cold for them; yet the quality has
been so good that the sale of them has kept
up very well and largo quantities of them
have been disposed of. These have, come
largely from the South and have been shipped
to the extreme West and Northwest. Tho
supply of apples, pears, grapes and berries
from the South, and fruits, generally from
California, has been somewhat more abun
dant than was expected. Tho quality has
been unusually good, especially in peaches.
Never before have we had such large and
delicious fruit of this kind as we have
had this year. During the week the produce
exchange increased the price of butter 4c for
extras, and this grade is now quoted at 20c
bid and 230 asked. Many dealers think this
altogether too much. Otherwise the market
has undergone no very great change to speak
of. For good creameries there is consider
able demand, and dealers mail age to work off
stocks in such quantities that they manage to
prevent stocks from accumulating. Eggs
have varied in price during the week, but
they have succeeded pretty well in maintain
ing prices, and part of the week they reached
quite a high figure. At present they are
firm. Wheat has been very weak all the
week, and the roller mill has reduced prices
as follows for flour: Orange Blossom, $5;
lied Cross, $4.60; Brighton, $4.85; Capitol,
$4.10; bakers' XXXX, $3.40; Derby, «2.65.

general movement was slack, supplies liberal
and there was a weaker feeling-all around.
Cattle opened lower under tho general im

worked a little steadier when it was found
that 8,000 lowered the receipts. Hogs opened
weak and before 10 o'clock were 10c lower
at the decline. The sheep trade remained
quiet with prices unsettled.

year a total of 154,645 packages, against 115.
--150 packages last year and 115,181 the same

very good trade in progress. Agents have
been doing a very healthy and legitimate busi
ness with all the leading makers of bleached
cottons. Prints, dress goods, flannels, under
wear, soft wool dress fabrics, ginghams and
other specialties sold to arrive, buyers are
hurrying forward deliveries. Besides the
wide request for many duplicates and new
selections and the many substitutes that have
to be taken, the market is very strong and
prices are hardening on wool "flannels and
bleached cottons.
