WHEAT OFF SHARPLY ON GOOD PROSPECTS Market Four Cents Lower on Excellent Showing of Threshers Liquidation all day caused wheat to break sharply ' again' yesterday. " The good grading of new wheat at Minneap olis in the face of previous bad reports as to the quality of the yield reassures shorts and led to general, selling. I. - Stocks, too,, were off some on •.bad bank statement. What the Brokers Say • " M. Dor an & Co.'s grain letter: : —Liquidation started at open ing; continued all day ' and ' was ; still going on when market closed. This has .resulted in a 4c break again. The sell ing has come on a market: where sliort interest - was small. : There was - nothing in trading to show that this liquida tion has stopped. Receipts Mn- the Northwest are sure to be . ; larger. In face of reports we have had from the Northwest the : grading of .wheat in Minneapolis is surprisingly good. The decline that has started will carry our market to a price where 1 wheat will be an excellent purchase. We doubt if that . point Is. reached yet. Cash de mand is poorer instead of better as market declines. Receipts today, -79. s cars, j Estimated; for m Monday, 53 -cars. S Liverpool ;;; wheat ' closed %d "7 lower, Paris 2Vic higher. Australian ship ments, 1,100,000. Estimated world's shipments Monday, 10,000,000. ";- --1 Corn— Our reports . received : from practically entire corn belt continue to show that. damage by frost has been light. We presume others have re ceived same reports. The result of this has been a break in corn. Prices today have declined %c to I^4c, September breaking the most. We don't advise selling at the present prices. There has been a better cash demand, although-it is not on any great scale. We "saw no signs of important selling today. Ac ceptances in country were light. Esti "mated cars Monday, 535. Liverpool closed Id lower. . , > . }' - Oats have been steady. There were evidences of some pretty good buying; in the market. Speculation: is light just now. It is natural .it. should be with shipping demand so poor and. the stock here as large as it is, but for all that we don't advise selling them. Mar ket was easy. Estimated cars Mon day, 170. .. ,'.■:.---.,. .. -J: .-..„ .......,-.:..; ■■■,'.;'. y Provisions—The weight of "^October product on the market prevents any advance. It looked as though packers ' were chief buyers of October ribs, and -s they may be willing !to take offerings as they come from scattered, holders at about these prices. Packers all say cash demand is very . good. • Estimated hogs Monday, 29,000. , '■:"' ■':.:-' J. C. Geraghty & Co.'s I New York stock advices: . . '.■■'/. -■*.. .. Walker Bros. —Reading and the Steel stocks were the features jat : the opening and the strength in these is sues imparted a strong tone to the gen eral market, which, however, ; did. not hold the advance and began to decline very easily on small . transactions.

The oft heralded free 'movement in the ; country Northwest seemed to have i' begun In earnest, receipts :at I Minneapolis and D.u luth -today;, being ; much heavier than for : the corresponding t. days last week *> and a year ago.

Private messages from the country regarding the condition of the new crop were decidedly bearish, fully 80 per cent of the crop being re ported safe from damage by frost. There was liberal profit taking throughout the entire session. Buying was largely by shorts. December opened %c to %c low er at 50% cto 50% c, sold off to 50c and closed at 50% c. Local receipts were 524 cars, with 34 of contract grade. Considering the weakness of wheat and corn, the oats market held remarkably steady. There was only moderate profit taking, while a fair demand was mani fested the entire session. JDecejnber open ed %c to %@%c lower at 32%<3>32%c to] ■82% c, sold between 32% c and 32% c and closed at 32% c. Local receipts were 173 cars. The bulk of trading in provisions was in the way of changing from the October to the January delivery. Prices were a trifle lower in sympathy with the weak ness of wheat and corn. At the close Jan uary pork and lard were each down 7%c at $12.67% and $7.02 and $7.05 respective ly. Ribs were off 6c at $6.60@6.62%.

No sooner j had tiading begun ihan a fusilade of selling orders came upon the pit. By ! 10:30 September was \ down to $1.16, against $1.27 early in the- week. Decem ber was $1.12%, against $1.20%, and May, $1.13%, against $1.21%. Four successive days of bear markets cost the bulls 12c in September and just 8c in May. This looked like enough, for the time, at least.. There was no evidence of any heavy short covering on the decline, but that some bid short lines have been put out since the weakness began can scarcely be doubted. The time was ripe for a heavy drive and the bears have made a good thing of the opportunity. Some thought a rally due for Saturday, but instead a little showing of wheat gave Jlie fourth day of weakness. Before the market closed September had sold to $1.13, De cember to $1.11 and May to $1.12%#1.12%, making losses from the week's high point of 14c on September, 9%c on December and 9%@9%c on May.
