CHICAGO. Sept. 3.— Wheat today suffered j
in sympathy with a decline in foreign mar- \
kets, December closing l%c below the level
of yesterday's final figures. Other markets
were also afflicted more or less with "that j
tired feeling," corn closing %@M>c lower, j
and oats %@ttc. Pork lost sc, and lard j
7'4@loc. Ribs were unchanged.
Wheat started weak. The opening prices ;
at Liverpool were at a decline of l%d, and |
the start here was in accordance with the ;
bearishness denoted at the English market, j
December was offered at the opening from 1
93c to 93% c, or lVfet under yesterday's close. ;
The bulk of the first transactions were at j
from 93% cto 93Vie, and fluctuations were |
close around the opening figures for three j
or four minutes. Following that, for half i
an hour, there was a gradual improvement '
until 94% c, or within %c of yesterday's :
closing price, aws reached. A dispatch from j
New York, reporting 470,000 bu of wheat .
taken for export yesterday afternoon, was :
given as the reason for the firmness sh'jnvn
in the recovery referred to. The very slight
addition to the contract wheat here, out j
of the 578 carloads inspected into store j
since yesterday morning, was perhaps in the
minds of the speculators. Only six carloads
were contract, and of these five were No. 2
spring, a grade that cannot be delivered on
contracts made today for any delivery be
yond the present month. Minneapolis and
Duluth received 458 cars, against 848 on the 1
corresponding day of the year before. The '
advance reached 94% c, and then lc of it
was dropped in a few minues, 93% c being j
the next stage of the fluctuations; then up I
again to 94% cm an equally sudden man
ner, and back once more, slowly this time,
to 93% c.
The fluctuations, although sudden, were
not accompanied by much trading. Scalpers
were startled by the sudden changes, and
withdrew from the markt*, and their absence
added to the difficutly commission houses ex
perienced in finding buyers or sellers when
they had orders to execute. New York wired j
early in the day that the foreign demand ■
was renewed, and 15 loads taken by 10 |
o'clock. The Atlantic port clearances of j
wheat and flour were once more very heavy,
the total being 866,000 bu, in wheat and
flour, 681.700 bu of it being in the shape of j
■wheat. The market became very weak near |
the close, and, while the scalpers would not I
touch it earlier in the day, except in the j
most timid and gingerly manner, they quick- 1
ly caught on to the fart that It was not ;
being adequately supported near the end, j
and sold freely. December declined to 92% c, I
and closed at 92^c. The closing cables had |
much to do with the weakness displayed late 1
in the session. Liverpool closing l@l%d
lower, and Paris the equivalent of %@l%c
Antwerp wae unchanged.
Trade in corn was less active, and the
volume of business was much smaller. The !
feeling early was weak, due largely to the
lower cables, the weakness of wheat at the
start and to liquidation by recent buyers.
Offerings, however, were not large, and j
were well taken, several of the larger com- !
mission houses leading in the buying. The i
market eased off later on expectations of ■
heavy receipts early next week, the decline !
being accelerated by the late slump in wheat, j
Atlantic port clearances were 988,416 bu. 1
December opened >4@V&c lower. It langed
between 3234 c and 33% c, closing at 32% c. A '
fair trade was done in oats. At the open
ing the market was weak. In common with !
corn. This feeling was changed to firmness :
later, only to grow weak again toward the j
1 lose. There was good buying on the ad
vance, about the only time the market
showed activity. The tone was entirely de- j
pendent on corn throughout. I^ocal receipts .
were 352 cars. December opened %@%C j
lower at 20% c. sold up to 20% C, and down j
to 20% c, closing at 20%@20%c. Trade was
quite active in provisions during the «irly :
part of the day. Offerings were quite free, !
in view of the weakness in hog and grain
markets-, while the demand was only moJ- i
crate. An easy feeling prevailed, and prices
ruled lower around the opening. Ijater the
demand became more active, and improve
ment followed, which was lost when wheat
and corn went down. Packers were all good
sellers at the close. December pork was 5c
lower at ?8.97'0; December lard 7%@10c low
er at $4.85@4.87%, and December ribs un
changed at $5.10. Estimates— Wheat, 425
cars; corn, 190 cars: oats, 420 cars; hogs,
16,000.

MINNEAPOLIS GRAW.
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept 3.— Dullness and lo'.v
cr value;; were the features at the opening
of the local wheat markpt this morning.
Blight declines in England and the continent.
There were no particular reasons for dis
rouraK<?m«'nt on these grounds, for the rea
son tii.U the declines were very small when
compared with the recent rapid advance.
There were free offerings, and for nearly an
hour the market appeared to be Inclined to
a lower place. The pressure to se'l being
lifted, thrre w&a a quick recovery of strength,
only to lip again depressed by more free sell-
Injt" by scalpers, but by, ii a. tu. tho market
hr<l recovered the fost ground and acted
very Btroag. The ce.B,cr^ sentiment of the
tiade is that a Ji'.t.i ;eaotic:i would be
healthy, but so long as cash wheat continues
it a premium there is hardly a chance of any
material reaction in speculative wheat. The
natural position is too strong to encourage
the short seller. The news of the day was a
Little mixed in character. Out of the many
bull influences recovered for the day, there
ire none stronger than the low stocks actual
ly existing at trade centers. Chicago has
only 800,000 bu of contract wheat in store.
And now it is said the board of trade there
making No. 2 spring wheat contract grade.
September wheat opened at 91VL'*, again?.t
92% c yesterday, sold down to 91% c, advanced
to 92c and lost %c by noon. December
opened at 89% c, against 90%@91c yesterday,
advanced to 90% c, lost %c, firmed up to 90% c,
lost %c, gained y ß c, lost %c, firmed up to
90%@90%c, declined to 90c. advanced to 90%@
90% c, sold at 90c, gained 14c. and dropped to I
S9%c by noon. The cash wheat trade was
fairly active, with a good demand, for the
best grades. The bulk of the receipts were
under No. 1 and No. 2 northern and said
very well, but was rather s.ow to move, be
cause of differences between buyers and sell
ers as to values. Sales were made as per
statement below. Receipts here were 308 cars
and 22 cars shipped out.
During the test hour of the session the
market ruled rather quiet, with weakness
more prominent than at any other time of
the morning. The fact that the market does
not keep on advancing is in itself a demoral
izing influence on the sanguine speculator,
who expects to keep on reaping without sow
ing. September wheat closed at 90% c and
December at 88% c.

stock exchange and Chicago board of trade.
Kelly, of St Louis, says: A decrease Of
at least 500,000 bu is probable in the wheat
visible, which would bring it below 15,000,000,
where a year ago it was 46,500,000. Another
large increase should be seen in the corn
visible, the total probably 30,000,000 bu,
against 13,800,000 bu a year ago.
The Italian government will probably not I
consent to any remission of the wheat tar- j

SIFTED TO ST. PflUh
THE STOCK THE CENTER OP SPEC
ULATIVE INTE*REST IN NEW
YORK.
BUT ONE POINT BELOW PAR.
NEW HIGH MARKS FOR THE YEAR
ARE SCORED BY THE
GRANGERS.
PROFIT-TAKING SALES INITIATED.
Day's Close at a. Net Advance, But
Below the Beat— Bond Market
Active.
NEW YORK. Sept. 3. — Today's stock
market was more irregular thaa that of yes
terday. The notable advances were not so
palpably manipulation, and the concurrent
profit taking in other stocks was not on so
large a scale. The market throughout was
stronger, and the average level of prices
raised further than yesterday. There was a '
decrease of activity in the industrial stocks, |
and the dealings in the standard railway j
shares were largely suspended. Buying
through commission houses was confident
and on a large scale. The volume of trans
actions in the Vanderbilt group, which played
such a conspicuous part in yesterday's mar- ]
ket, showed a considerable falling off, but ■
they retained the sharp gains achieved yes- !
terday, and, in fact, closed tonight higher, j
Northwest sold as high as yesterday's high |
point, but reacted.
The center of itnerest in the market was
shifted to St. Paul, which sold during the |
day at 99, a net adVance ot 3%, and which
crossed Burlington during the day on enor
mous transactions. St. Paul was aided by
the statement of estimated gross earnings
for the fourth week In August, which
showed an increase over the correspond- |
ing week last year of $108,750. The rise was \
stimulated also by the circulation of rumors,
without definite authority, that the dividend
rate would be increased. The statement of
Burlington for July and Rock Island for
August were also helpful to St. Paul, a!ong
with all the members of the granger group.
Unauthorized rumors had exaggerated the
gain to be shown by the Burlington state- '
ment, and the stock in consequence failed j
to benefit very materially from it, although ;
an increase was shown In gross earning re- I
cepts of $285,708, and m net of $99,314. Rock |
Island's increase in gross for the month of :
August was $375,210. These incidents served i
to put the grangers again In the lead of the i
market, and their strength helped the whole i
list.
The price of St. Paul invited profit tak
ing not only in that stock, but all through j
the list, and, though a rally followed, clos- I
ing prices were not at the best. Sugar movetl
up and down in a feverish and erratic man
ner over a range of 5 points, to a new high
record at 159%, and as low as 15tȣ. Tne
grangers and many other stocks touched new
high levels for the -year. Louisville & Nash
ville was exceptionally strong all day, and
gained 2 points net. Many other stocks that
have been under recent pressure of profit
taking moved u,p today. This was notably
true of the internationals, Union Pacific bs
ing an exception on account ot reports that
the government would oppose the foreclos
ure sale upon which is based the reorganiza
tion plan. The stock lost a fraction. Lon
don prices for Americans were higher, and
i London bought about 10,000 shares here on
j balance. Sharp gains were shown by To- I
' bacco, Colorado Fuel, Consolidated Gas, Hoc- j
ing Vajley preferred, 2; Detroit Gas, 4V 4 ; 1
! Great Northern preferred, 4; Illinois Central, |
j Laclede Gas, Lake Erie & Western preferred, '

; Louis, New York, Chicago & St. Louis first i
] preferred, Norfolk & Western preferred. Ore- !
gon Navigation preferred, Pennsylvania, Rio I
Grande & Western preferred. St. Joe & Grand i

stocks. The aggregate sales of all stocks I
I approximated 700,000 shares, and of these ;
i 160,000 were of St. Paul and t55,0C0 Bur.ing

steady stream of buying also goes on. To
the onlooker, the position of Americans is
very interesting. It is generally believed
