CHICAGO , ficpt. II. Heavy export de
mand with small local receipts today
strengthened wheat. September left oft
1-So higher nud December rose > ie. Corn
declined 3-Sc. Oats ure unchanged to 1-Sc
up. Pork lost 2'ic ' , lard Improved 2'ie ' and
libs closed unchanged.
Homo weakness was created In wheat at
the opening on account of Liverpool show
ing from 3-Sd ted decline In face of yes
terday's stningth on this side. The alight
reduction at which llrst transactions were
effected soon gave plnco to firmness and
Vie advance when It was seen how small
the offerings were und how much was
wanted. Several Items of news telegraphed
Immediately after were of a bullish char
acter and were responsible for the In
creased demand tluit put up the price.
New York reported liberal continental ac
ceptances of last night's offers and also
buying orders for futures from abroad.
Foreigners llkewtoo bought hero. A email
cargo of No , 2 spring wheat was worked
here direct to London by a firm that
handled a good deal of the wheat shipped
Hbroad by Leltcr during the- currency of
the latter'H operations , and It was consid
ered significant that this direct demand
nhowed signs of. revival. Minneapolis wired
that 2 (0 ( over the December prlco was bid
1hero today for wheat to arrive any tlmo
In October. Demand hero for prompt ship
ment opened up strong , with heavy Bales
reported the first hour of the session. Au
estimate of tlio Blzo of the French crop
making It 380,000,000 bushels , caused a. tem
porary break , but It was considered upon
reflection to be an extravagant guess and
on that conclusion attention was again
llxed upon the moro bullish happenings of
the forenoon and the market becumu
strong again. The movement of the do-
inestlo crop was bearish aa regards the
spring and bullish concerning winter
wheat. Minneapolis and Duiulh received
918 care against 5S3 curs last year und Chicago
cage got 174 cam compared with 270 cars
.the year previous. The total at all primary
western markets was 1,192,000 bushels ,
ngulnst 1,371,500 bushels the year before.
Atlantic port clearances of wheat and
Hour amounted to 550,000 bushels. Septem
ber opened unchanged to Uc higher at
filfttilUc , rose to 64 0 JUid closed nt 64 5-Sc.
The market actud very Irregularly between
Hie limits at 61W5(6l ( 7-Sc and 62 7-8c for De-
cumber. The opening was 1-Sc lower nt
6 ? < afi21-8c. It rose to l3Vyf 626-Sc , dropped to
62 l-8c , recovered to 62HS62 6-8c once moro
mid slid off to 62c. Then It recovered to
2Hc. declined to 61K61 7-8c and advanced
to 62 3-8 < a 2i4c , which was the price' at the
Corn wus fairly firm for a short tlmo
und then became uncompromisingly heavy
with IOIIKS selling out disgustedly und
shorts rubbing : In the agony without offer
ing to cover much until late In the ses
sion. The weak feature of the market was
the absence of shipping demand. Receipts
were quite moderate , being much under
the estimate and not much more than half
these of a year ago. December opened
unchanged at 29Hfi297-8c , sold down to
233-Sc and closed at 23 3-8029 0.
The general trade In oats was stimulated
by a good cash demand and small re
ceipts. May began unchanged at 22c , ad
vanced to 22 l5i22Uc , then declined to
Z2&2Z 1-Sr , the closing price.
Provisions averaged firm and closed
Ktcady nt substantially the same prices
i they did yesterday. Packers were friendly
to the market and commission houses with
English connections bought heavily of
lard. December pork opened 5o up at $8.70.
Improved to $8.75 , declined to $8.60 and
closed at $ S.62'A , December lard started nt
$500. rose to $5.02V4 , then eased off to $1.95
4.97',4 and closed nt $4.97 . The range in
ribs was narrow.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow nrc :
"Wheat , 170 cars ; corn , 540 curs , oats , 315

Heavy tiolil Imports Inlliirnoo tbo
Mnnc > > - Mnrkrt.
NEW YORK. Sept. 14.-Tho unsettled
tone of the * peculatlvo mind over the
money market outlook was relieved today
by the announcement of further gold Im
ports. Actual engagements were announced
of $1,600,000 nnd rumors were rlfo of very
heavy additional sums which are to como
tills week. Rates for call loans on the
exchange broke sharply to 2"j per cent from
n , high point In the morning on small
transactions of 4'4 ' per cent. A very active
buying movement developed , which was In
largo part from professional traders who
had gone short of the market on a convic
tion that money rates woulA hold llrm for
a tlmo and that call money would be sub
ject to occasional Hurries from the calling
of loans that would chaise out largo liqui
dation of stocks. The course of the ex
change market gave warning early In the
day that relief was nt hand for the money
market In the form of gold Imports. Posted
rates were marked down H cent nnd nctu-
nlly fell ' , i cent , the price for demand ster
ling reaching $1 84 , which Is easily within
the gold Import point. The market during
the earlier part of the day WIN largely
confined to the specialties. Sugar , To
bacco , and the constituent companies of the
now Federal Steel company were nil mark
edly weak.
The railroads rallied early In the day , but
were weakened by the decline In the spe
cialties. They offered strong resistance to
decline , however , nnd advanced easily nnd
quickly all through the list after midday.
The local traction stocks , Including Brook
lyn Rapid Transit , Manhattan nnd Metro
politan Street Railway , were also strong.
The Industrial specialties recovered nearly
all their losses on the afternoon covering
of shorts. Sugar was nn exception. This
stock opened off 2V4 points , allowing for the
3 per cent dividend. There was a tlmo dur
ing the period of the general strength In
the market when the stock rallied 2 per
rent , but In the late dealings It fell an ex
treme 4'4 points. There was very deter
mined support nt nnd below 127 , nnd the
bears desisted from their attack. This gave
time for the general market to rally again
to about the best , the closing being active
and llrm at net gain ? , reaching a point or
over In many stocks. The grangers nnd
Pacifies were conspicuous In the railroad
list.
list.The effect of the easier money market
was In large part sentimental , ns the stock
market depression has been due to ap
prehension of future stringency rather than
to actual present conditions. The convic
tion had gained force for several day ? that
the scarcity of money is apparent rather
than real , nnd the fact that the payments
on the government loan nro almost com
pleted gives assurance of early relief from
the- drain on that account. The government
disbursements In the form of expenditures
and the distribution of the now bonds arc
certain to revel In a plentiful supply ot
moneynt an early day.
There was a growth of demand for bonds ,
nnd prices rallied In sympathy with stock ?
In the latter part of the day. Total sales
were $2KOO,000. United States 3s advanced
1-8 In the bid price. There were large
transactions In the 3s nt 1051-S to 105 3-8 ,
thp latter being the last price.
The Evening Post's London financial ca
blegram nays : The stock markets here
were strong today. They opened flat on
Crete nnd other political matters , but ral
lied slightly nt the close with a special re
covery In Argentine stocks. I have seer
private telegrams received In the city from
Argentina which are encouraging ns to tin
ultimate settlement of the boundary ques
tion. Americans were dull. They opened
flat , but closed steadier. The same applies
to Kulllrs. Fewer American bills were of
fered today.

CATTLE Today's trade In cattle could
be summed up In a very few words as a
good strong and active Market. In some
cases sellers Were reporting their sales as
a little higher , but the market as a whole
was at least strong on all desirable kinds.
One thing that gave a good Impression
was the fact that there were better cattle
here today , there being a few right good
cornfed steers on sale. One bunch sold at
$3.40 and another brought $5.20 , showing
that good cuttle are all right. It Is safe to
say that there has been no tlmo this season
when good cornfed cattle would have
brought any moro money than they did
today , the market being just as high as it
has been any time. The half fat and
medium cattle , however , nre not bringing
as much as they were at the high time , the
competition with grass cattle keeping that
kind down , that Is the kind of ctatle that
nre selling at $4.40tf4.80. For example , cattle
sold today at $4 70 that would have brought
iV1.011 ! * < 49 ° nt tne high time nnd possibly
$5.00. Grass beef sold nt good strong prices
today as well as cornfed cattle and the
offerings met with quite ready mile. In most
cases. The Swan cattle sold today at $4.25
and the most that they have sold for any
time this season was $1.40 , showing that
the market on that kind of westerns Is
only 15c lower than high time.
Cow beef cattle were. In good demand and
the offerings all changed hands early nt
good strong prices. In some cases the
market being a little higher than yesterday.
Good heifers were also free sellers and
strong. Hulls , stags and calves were not
materially changed In value.
The demand for feeding cattle was
reasonably good and buyers paid yester
day s strong prices , though the receipts
were largo and there were quite a good
many stale cattle In the yards. Rep
resentative sales :

were all cleaned up early and by the middle
of the forenoon everything hud been sold

that made the price. Packing hogs sold
largely at $3.80fi3.8214 , quite a number of
big strings Belling early ut $3.S2'/i , which
was hardly 6c higher In some Instances.
Mixed loads and medium weights sold
largely 'at $3.85 and good heavy and light
at $3.85S3.90. The long string of salt * was
at $3.8214 < & 3.5 , us against $3.77hfr3.80 yes

It will bo noted from the table of average
prices that a big change him taken place
in the market during the last few days.
Ono week ago the average price at which
all the hogs sold on thin market was $3.53 ,
or 30o less than thn hogs brought today.
Onn week ago the hoes sold at the lowest

Flro totally destroyed one of the Ciulnhj
racking company's smoke houses at an early
hour yesterday. The loss will amount to
1 120,000 , divided between the contents ami
{ the building. In the neighborhood of 300,000
j pounds of meat which was being smoked
wag destroyed. This meat was worth $15,000 ,
the balance of the loss being on the build-
Ing.
While making his regular rounds one ol
the Cudahy watchmen noticed the tire anil
turned In an alarm on the American District
Telegraph system. In less limn flvo min
utes the names had broken through the roof
and the fire call was sounded on all of the
whistles at the different packing houses.
This alarm caused a general turning out of
nil the fire departments In the city , and In
a very short tlmo a dozen or more lines
of hose were laid and were playing on the
names. The Cudahy lire department was
the first to throw water on the lire , with the
city department a close second. Next came
the departments from the Omaha Packing
company , the Hammond and Swift compa
nies and the stock yards company. In all
eighteen lines of hose were connected to
the hydrants about the plant which had di
rect connection with the big steam pumps.
lly hard work , assisted by plenty of water ,
the walls of the burning building were pre
vented from collapsing , and the flro was
confined to the sniolio house. It was a tlvn
hours' fight , but the firemen won In the
end and managed to prevent the names from
spreading.
Water was poured onto the nre at the
rate of 5,000 gallons per minute , and In the
five hours' work 14,000,000 gallons of water
was used. Two of Cudahy's pumps threw
1,500 gallons per minute , while two moro
were run up to a capacity of 1,000 gallons
per minute. This Is the first tlmo slnco
the new pumps were Installed that they
had been used , and Mr , Cudahy Is well
pleased with the work done. The water
pressure was good from the start and aver
aged about ninety pounds , with spurts as
high as 120 pounds.
Oiunlin Driinrtiiient Ho poiuU.
Acting Mayor Barrett was on the ground
early and he Insisted upon sending for the
Omaha flro department. In response to his
request Assistant Chief Sailer came down
with two engines and two hose companies.
The trip from Omaha wan a hard one on ac
count of tbo condition of the roads and the
big cnglno was stuck In the mud at the top
of the hill overlooking the Cudahy plant.
After the Omaha apparatus arrived there
was nothing for It to do , aa eighteen streams
were then playing on the flro and to cut
In on ono of the hydrants about the plant
with an engine would mean the reduction
of the pressure on all of the hose lines. The
nearest hydrant which an cnglno could at
tach to was In the western part of the stock
yards and as It was deemed Inexpedient to
do this , Chief Saltcr and his men returned
home about 5 o'clock without having been
called Into service.
Chief Smith of the local department
handled the flro In a manner satisfactory
to those most Interested. In this work bo
was ably assisted by the chiefs of the packIng -
Ing house and stock yards flro departments.
At ono tlmo a fear was expressed that th
west wall of the smoke house would fall ,
but by dint of hard work and plenty of
water the wall was held In an upright posi
tion although It warped fully eighteen
Inches. Had this wall fallen an oil tank
near by would have undoubtedly been
wrecked and then trouble would have com
menced sure enough. Men with lines of hose
were stationed on the tank and kept It cool
besides throwing a stream Into the seat of
the flrc.
At fi o'clock the flro was practically out ,
but flvo streams were left playing on the
ruins for some little tlmo , Before the walls
were cool Mr. Cudahy summoned George
Parks , bin superintendent of construction ,
and gave orders for the Immediate rebuild
ing of the burned building. It Is thought
that the building can bo replaced in six or
seven days.
The cause of the Dro Is not known , but
Mr. Cudahy thinks It started by the over
heating of the smoke house which caused
Iho meat to drip. This hot grease falling
upon the flro In the pits started the blaze.
The property destroyed Is fully covered by
Insurance.
