CHICAGO , Sept. y. The strength of cash wheat In the northwest today In addition to a reported uhortugo of the Ilusslan crop tatised n sharp rally In wheat values hero. Snptcmber cloHcd l Ol KSo higher and De- inmbcr gained IVtc. Corn Improved ? ic ; oats rose 3-Sc. Provisions ruled weak. I'nrk left oft 24c ! down , lard lOc and ribs Wheat started strong nnd forred Its way tip In the cotirtiu of the llrst hour's trading to lu above yesterday's clone. The Liver pool market opened from G-feff d higher , nnd Increased the gain to from tyd to Id soon after business started here. That caused a P"iieral rush of shorlH to cover , with so little wheat for sale Unit competition was xharp and bids were gradually advanced. I'lileago received lul cars , against 2i3 ! last yur. The arrivals at Minneapolis and Duluth - luth were 811 cars , mmpared vdth 4M a year ago. Atlantic port clearances were again heavy , and that drew attention onto inoro to the excessive proportion of Kuro- poans that continued to be supplied from this side. Perhaps the greatest stimulus to the buyIng - Ing that advanced prices of wheat hern nroso from the great strength of the cash wheat mark'-ts In the northwest during the first half of the session. Liverpool Hhowtil advances nt the close of * om 1 l-8d to 1'id , and It was thought the strength there was In great part owing to further confirmation of Husslan crop damage anil deslro of Husfllan exporters to cancel sales they had made for September shipment as rf-ported here yesterday. The market here was more active and broader than for norno time back. The government report , which Is due tomorrow , had Home Influence on the bull side , contrary to experience of Us usual effect. The market ruled strong right up to the tap of the bell and closed near thu highest point of the session. Sep tember opened ' /if < l-8e higher at III 7-8e , ad- Mtnccil gradually to tile and closed at G.1 7-Sc ( " Hers. December started 3-Mll-Sc up at (11 1-MJ6I"C , sold up to 62 1-Se and closed at ( ,2c buyers. Low temperatures , together with predictions of frost tonight , strength- iied corn. Tim crowd had gone short last night and consequently when they found themselves confronted by a decidedly bull- lull wheat market they became alarmed , A scramble to cover ensued and competi tion easily forced an advance. A report that the government crop report tomorrow vnuld drop the corn condition G points was iilso an Inlluence. The market ruled strong throughout the entire day. December he- can ' ,4(53-80 ( up at 34li30 } ( 3-Ro , advanced to 30 7-8c and closed at SO ie buyers. Oats were llrm and higher In sympathy ullh other grains. There was a fair n mount of business done , with heavy cov ering by shorts May opened unehangc-d to 1-Sc up at 21i'Q2l ' 7-Sc and advanced to 22 1-Sc. Provisions opened fairly steady , but turned weak on heavy selling by proml- JK nt packing houses. There was oonsld- rralilo realizing by traders who had bought lower down on the decline. Very good buy ing , however , sprang up on the break and tlif market closed fairly steady , -jvlth part i.f the loss recovered. Deceriber pork opened ie lower at J.55 , declined to $ S.I5 , ihr > n rallied to JS.ri7'ithe ' closing price.

NEW YORK , Sept. 9-Th're was further drastic liquidation in thu stock market to day at an expense to ptlce of stocks of be tween $1 and $2 per share ; n a great many cases. Disappointment over the llxlng of the St. Paul dividend nt only 213 per cent continued the prevailing Inlluence and nu attention was paid to favjfabiu develop' Hunts or to the IndUatlons f an easli't condition In money. The selling was evi dently In tilt nature of spuiulatlvc proltt- taking and came irom an element that Imr prisltlcil in the confidence that prh es wen ctrtuin of a luitlier advanre.

The market eould safely be quoted steady to stronger , and some eattle that were carried over from yesterday brought a lOc advance , showing Improvement today. There were no western beeves to amount to anything , one bunch selling at $1.20. The few loads of cows and heifers sold nt about steady prices , that Is steady witli yesterday's decline. It must be borne In mind , however , that the market yesterday as reported in these columns was 15J(25c ( lower. The same kind of a break , or a good deal worse one , has taken place at other markets , so that there was nothing surprising In the decline here. As an In dication of what It amounts to , buyers yes terday were pointing to the sale In Chicago cage of a bunch of heifers at a decline of 55o from what the same heifers brought two weeks ago.
