CHICAGO , Sept. 27. Wheat here today
( was led by ( in advance In New York. The
strength of the latter market was a big
factor In an advance of S-Sc here. Trading
was much more active than usual. Corn
nnd oata both advanced about 3-8c. Pro
visions were weak owing to yellow fever
reports.
An advance of l-8Q'lo marked the open
ing In wheat , December starting at 6414 ®
Cl 3-8c , compared with yesterday's closing
j > rlco of G4 l-8c. Some Irregularity waa
ehown by the market for a time , the price
fluctuating between 61 l-SHGIlc ! and Gl' ' c as
the dcmiind from shorts , the principal early
buyers , Increased or diminished , but In the
main the market showed llrmness and kept
near to the figures of the opening. North
western receipts , though heavy , were smal
ler than last year. Minneapolis and Duluth
reported 1,716 cars , against & 20 last week
and 1,872 n year ago. The early strength
was duo largely to the advance at Llver-
> eel , where futures were quoted 4 < 87-8d
} ilghcr. The bullish feeling was Increased
liy oeaboard reports of a good Inquiry for
wheat for shipment to the United Kingdom
nnd heavy acceptances here for prompt
ohlpmcnt. Chicago receipts were 275 cars ,
neven of contract grade. Primary western
receipts aggregated 1,727,000 bu. , compared
rwlth 1C25,000 bu. last year. Atlantic port
clearances were 613,000 bu. Duluth , Minne
apolis and New York markets were all
strong for cash wheat , llradstrcet'a re
ported the world's visible Increase at 2,416-
000 bu. Of this amount 1.000.000 bu. was
cast of the Rockies nnd , ns yesterday a decrease -
crease of 880,000 bu. had been otllclally re
ported , buyers were given a shock nnd for
u few minutes there was a rush of longs
to get rid of their wheat. The price waa
crushed down to G4 1-Sc from around &H o
In this flurry. Hut a reaction quickly fol
lowed. Instead of following Chicago's lead ,
Now York and the northwest markets be-
cnmo stronger than ever nnd when this
became apparent hero another rush fol
lowed , this time to buy back the wheat so
hastily parted with. December climbed to
114'HOC-J 7-8c In the scramble. New York re
ported elghty-ono boatloads worked for ex
port , which , coming near the end of the
session , was a factor In the strength with
rwhlch the market closed. Business was
very nctlvo after noon nnd the total bus-
Jness done was larger than for some time.
December closed nt 64ic.
Corn was inactive but steady up to noon ,
when the strength and activity of wheat
were communicated to this market. There
I wan a good deal of aggressive buying by
professional bulls , forcing shorts to cover.
Firmness was apparently entirely in sym
pathy with wheat. Receipts -were 880 cars.
Cables were higher. Clearances were 172-
000 bu. December ranged from 297-So to
30M0303-8C and closed 3-8c higher at the
latter price.
Oats was firm but very slow. The mar
ket trailed after wheat nnd corn and de
veloped Independent features. Trading r.-ns
light nnd In scattered lots , mostly by lo
cals. Clearances were light. Receipts were
B42 cars. Cosh market firm. May ranged
from 2222 7-Sc to 23c and closed UOS-Sc
higher at 23c.
Provisions averaged weak nnd lower.
Yellow fever reports nnd liberal hog re
ceipts started the market at a decline.
Packers gave the market a fair support for
a time and a recovery ensued , but when
thlfl buying stopped prices quickly declined
again and the market remained weak to the
close. Trading was only moderately active.
At the close January pork was 7',4c lower
nt $9.20 , January lard 5o lower nt 19.21 , May
ribs Do lower at J4.77& .

NEW YORK , Sept. 27-Trnnsactlons In
the railway nnd miscellaneous share mar
ket showed a better distribution today and
the railways assumed moro prominence In
the trading than for some time. Specula
tive sentiment became decidedly bearish
over night and the bears adopted what
appeared to be a well outlined plan during
the duv. Tobacco was utilized as a lever
to Initiate the drive , but utter the prlco
was Jammed down 6V& points * to 132V4 the
slock met support and recovered materi
ally. The bulls endeavored to stem the
downward rush by taking up Sugar nnd
Metropolitan und succeeded In steadying
the list. The bears , llndlng considerable
opposition In Tobacco , turned their atten
tion to Sugar , and after creating demoraliz
ation there took the other specialties Into
camp one after the other , nnd goon had
prices tumbling all around. The tactics ot
the bear faction disconcerted the bulls ,
who , after apparently arresting the decline
and forcing a rally In a leader , had to meet
fresh assaults on another stock , with the
result that the momentary advantage was
soon lost. Rumors concerning Individual
properties were set nllont and considerable
discussion was aroused over the movement
In Tobacco. The generally accepted theory
was that somt' powerful Interest was let
ting go an extcnulvu line of stock and the
absence of demand for the enormous blocks
offered dqrlng the last few days facilitated
the operations of the shorts , operations In
the Industrials were conducted with consid
erable conlldenco by the bear contingent ,
nnd their success In reaching stop IOKJ or
ders encouraged them to attack the rail
ways.
Northern Pacific , In V'1'0'1 ' ' ' dealings have
been on a largo scale recently , was picked
out , nnd a 2 point break followed. Liberal
amounts of long stock from tired holders
came- out In the grangers , and the trading
became qulto excited during nn Interval In i
the afternoon. The list steadied occa
sionally , but any attempt to boost prices
was accompanied by semi-stagnation. Late-
In the day prices hardened on the August
statement of Northern Paclilc , which
showed an Increase In net Income of 217,517.
Atchlson's report for the same period ,
which developed later , Indicated a falling
off In net of JI3S.720 , nnd the bears renewed
the attack with llnnl prices ut about the
lowest. Sugar , after Improving to 121U. en
countered heavy realizing orders , and on
the way down considerable stocks came out
around the even llgures , which eventually
put the prlco to 1175-8. Subsequent lluc-
timtlons were qulto feverish and the stock
cloHCd at 118. Thcro was nn absence of
news bearing upon the property aside from
the usual opposition features.
The money market was less active today
and rates ruled at 3fl4 per cent , with the
minimum llguro prevailing nt the close.
Tlmo contracts were without essential
change nnd there was a notable shrinkage

X MV York Ilry < iooiln Mnrket.
NEW YORK , Sept. 27. Dry goods were
quiet In nearly all divisions. The result of
yesterday's holiday In the Jewish quarters
has been a dearth of mall orders In many
lines , chiefly thbso which feed the manu
facturing and cuttlng-up trades. Store
trading also was light today. This cooler
weather helped the demand for strictly
seasonable goods , but there was no Im
provement In the staple goods market In
any branch. Print cloths sold slowly , or
dered goods were quiet , but there was
much moro trading In these than extras.
The latter were quoted at 2c , but offers of
goods at this rate failed to bring forward
buyers. The curtailment has ceased at Fall
River , the only mill not now In operation
being the Borden City mill. Staple cottons
are quiet in nearly nil grades. Prints un
changed.

CATTLE Very liberal receipts and re
ports from other markets that were none
too favorable were the chief Influences In
today's market. Under the circumstances It
was by no means surprising that the mar
ket had a lower tendency. The receipts ol
cattle were GS.r > 2 head , the largest run ot
the month to date.
The offerings of beef cattle were the
largest In some time , both cornfed and
grassers. While one would occasionally
hear n seller say that he received about
steady prices for some of his best cattle
the market was generally a little lower and
slow. Some of the trains did not arrive
until late and buyers would not do much
until they knew pretty well what was to boi
offered on sale and when the market did' '
open there were so many cattle to be had
that they took their time In making selec
tions. The result was that It took a lone
time to effect a clearance and the market
as a whole would have lo be Quoted alow
and lower.
Considering the number of cattle here the
offerings of cows and heifers were not so
very large and for that reason desirable
cow stuff sold not much different from
yesterday.
The most desirable kinds of feeders also
sold at about steady prices , that Is such
cuttle as were pleasing to buyers. Other I
kinds of feeders were slow and It Is safe '
to quote common feeding cattle as 10@lGc
lower. It was late before all the rough und
commonlsh cattle were disposed of , but In
the end the most of the cattle changed
hands. Representative sales :

ycsterdny and were not overly anxious to
load up with hogs It was In anticipation ot
n Injge run for todny. They \\cio by no
menus disappointed nn early tmlns nil cnino
li | very henvlly loaded nnd later trains kept
piling up the receipts until they were the
hcvlrst of nny dny since Thursday , Scptciu-
ler 15. Large receipts * cre not the only
disadvantage on the sldo of the selling In-
IctcptK , but Chicago curly reported n weak
mnrKet and Knnens City's first report cnmo
dull nnd lower. The demand nt this point
however , wns good nnd the mnrket opened
fnlrly active nt about yesterday's prices.
The long BtrlnjT ot mixed loads gold at J3.70
nnd rough henvy down to J3G2',4 ' , Good
light lends brought J3.75 and otio choice
1cl.lllth ten hogs thrown out so that U
\\ns In reality n light sort brought J3.SO.
After about hnlf ot the hogs hnd chnngcd
hands the trnde slacked up and for n time
tboru wns very little doing , buyers seeming
1 to have their Immediate wants satisfied and
being content to wnlt until sellers were
moro anxious to cut loose. Still thev wanted

SHEEP All told there were quite a num
ber of sheep In the pens , but to start with
there was ono bunch of a dozen double decks
of lambs , mostly feeders , then the packers
had in a load or two , so that the actual
offerings of fat sheep and lambs were very
light. The demand was ns good ns usual
and buyers nil wanted unpllpso that the
few bunches to be had met with ready ilo
and at steady prices.
Stockers and feeders continue to be In nc-
tlve demand and there O.oc-s not nppcar to
bo any danger of there Ininj too mn'iy
sheep , In fact , there are more buyers than
sheep.
