Sept. 19.-Corn was the active deal on 'change today. Heavy buying by ehorts , who were disturbed by the small contract stocks and. rumors of a squeeze , advanced the September price lc. De cember closed -MJVic higher. Wheat was steady under a good deal of bear news and closed unchanged to Vie higher. Oats ad vanced about Vic and provisions closed at practically unchanged prices. The opening In wheat was at a slight ad vance for December , that option starting nt 7014870 > ic , or ViWVic over yesterday's flr.nl price. Outside of an unexpectedly email Increase In the local contract stocks there was nothing In the nowa to warrant nn advance and It appeared to be purely the result of local sentiment. The small ad vance was almost Immediately lost. The licavy selling which marked yesterday's flcsslon and which was supposed to be the. liquidation of some long lines , was con- Unucil today. There was also somd sellIng - Ing from the outside , St. Louis and the northwest both being In the market. 1-or u considerable period the December price liung around 70VifViOVic. to which point it the opening but before < R-cllned shortly after , fore 11 o'clock the strength of corn bo- can to attract attention. Bullishness caused "by " this was Increased by reports that a good deal of the buying was for Armour. This scared shorts and caused considerable covering. Offerings were light , outside of the long liquidation referred to , and prices fluctuated rapidly within u comparatively narrow range , the market at times cx- QilblUng some nervousness. The local crowd was apparently long nnd though the postIng - Ing of Brndatreofs figures on the visible supply , showing an Increase of 6,093,000 bu. , shook out some long wheat offerings were readily absorbed and tile spell of weakness soon disappeared. During the afternoon thu strength of coarse grains was Influen tial In the. steadiness of wheat and al though bear attacks were frequent , prices were well maintained to the end. Primary receipts were heavy , 1,652,000 bu. , nga nst 1,005,000 bu. a year ago. Chicago receipts were 200 cars , 13 of contract grade.

It sold as high as lOJiic nnd as low as 70Vic. December was bring ing 70c at the close. Trading in corn was quite active , espe cially for September. In which a sharp ad vance was recorded. Shorts wore active ( bidders from the start , but had a good deal of difficulty In covering , and prices were bid up accordingly. The short In terest , which was evidently larger than ftupposed , was disturbed by the small con tract stocks , 1.0GS.OOO bu.

The delicate ten sion of the speculative temper was well illustrated by the course of today's mar ket , which sunned to bo going prosperously on Its way towards recuperation and re covery In prices until the last half hour of the trading. After that tlmo prices were UowlcU over la very direction like a ct of tenpins , which had been get up simply to be knocked1 down again. The selling movement wus In full force -when the mar ket o'.osed and prices tending rapidly down wards. Some of the oarllor gains , though In other prominent stocks , the notable ad vance achieved earlier dn the day were com pletely wiped out. Tie market gave every uppoaranoo of having thrown off the in cubus of the money scare. The re-pot ta ' from abroad wore of a. more conciliatory attitude on the part of President Krugcr and the decision of the French govern ment to pardon Dreyfus , caused a raily In foreign markets. There , at. well ns here , the short Intercut had been larxeJy over extended nnd they found some dllllculty In securing stocks to cover short contracts. Professional operators who had secured stocks at yesterday's low level had turned bull , and tlicro wati a fair volume of buying otders In commission lou.'ca this morning , attracted by yesterday's late recovery In prices. Prices were marked high nt the opening and trading waa very active for a tme ! , but on n descending scale. After prices had gotten back to near yesterday's close , a demand of a substantial character de veloped ifor Standard railroad stocks. Some of the specialties , notably the New York Traction stocks , which hiwe suffered recent violent losses , were marked up rapidly. Late In the day a very buoyant tone car ried the coalers upward under the lead of Lackawannn , which advanced an extreme 11V4Other members of the group rose from 2',4 to 4 points. Metropolitan's ex treme rise was G',4. Brooklyn Trnnflt was up at one tlmo 4H- Many other specialties were up between 2 and 3 points nnd the actlvo railroads very generally showed gains of from 1 to 1V4. Such was the state of affairs when traders began to take prof its In the coalers and Metropolitan Street Railway. It did not toke the bears long to wlpo out all of the gains In Brooklyn Transit and the course ot prices turned quickly downward , the selling movement continuing activity to the close. The advance In prices was accomplished by professions of confidence that the money market dlfllcultles had boon passed. Call money ruled at 6 per cent nnd above during the day. The banks are not losing quite ns heavily as lost week either to the subtreasury or to the Interior. But the out ward movement of money Is more than sulllclcnt to moke Inroads upon the legal reserve of the banks. It Is known that many loans which .have been called have been placed -with other borrowers or have resulted simply In a shifting of collateral while the loan was marked up but left otherwise undisturbed. Reports found cur rency 'that ' considerable money had been placed In call loans for account of Canadian banks. One New York bank took out addi tional circulation In Washington to the amount of $230,000 , for which notes had nl- ready been printed and made available for circulation. Except In these cases there Is no evidence of any actual replenishment of cash for the New York mnrket , nor Is any discernible In the Immediate future. Bank ers express the opinion that money will continue hard at 6 per cent or above. One- of the vagaries of the situation Is that ster ling exchange held steady to llrm today with buying for London nccount of over 15,000 shares of stocks , while It dropped sharply yesterday In splto of London's sellIng - Ing of over 40,000 shares. Competent au thorities do not look for gold Imports un til much later In the fall. Bonds showed gains and held better than stocks In the late weakness. Total sales , par value , J2.290.000. United States bonds were unchanged In 'bid ' quotations. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says : The markets he-re were heavy , at the opening today , but rallied on rumors that the Transvaal was giving way and tlmt the Orange Free State was wavering. The close was cheerful. Consols rose a quarter. Americans hard ened quietly , closing at the best on New York buying. Spanish 4s were 60.25 ; tlntos , 467-16 ; Anacondas. 10 % ; Boston , 1V4 ; Utahs , % . The bank bought 77,000 gold In bars nnd French coin. The 'bank ' again did a. large business In bills at GH per cent. The following arc the closing quotations for the leading stocks on the New York exchange today : Atchlson do pfd ElVi do ptd .

As was the caeo yesterday , almost all the cattle were from the range and th big bulk atockera and feeders. In addition to the fresh receipts there were quite a good many cattle held over from yesterday , so that the yards were crammed full. In spite of that fact 'the market was In re markably good shape , values balng steady to stronger and the movement active , so that the moat of the cattle changed hands early In the morning. Only about twenty to thirty loads of corn- fed steers were on sale and about llftcen to twenty loads of grass beef steers. With the demand good and the receipts so Ught the market was reasonably actlvo on both kinds and values not materially changed , though advices from Chicago were not fa vorable. Packers. In fact , claimed that their purchases today cost them a little more than yesterday. The cow market broke yesterday under the Influence of ihe excessive receipts , but today there weie fewer In the yards , while the demand was ot fair proportions. The result was a steady maruet and , while prices may have been no hlghor , the. feeling was better. The situation in the feeder division was decidedly Improved. Yard operators ap peared to have come to the conclusion that the big runs for the week were over with , while at the some time the country de mand , stimulated by the lower prices , was very large. Yesterday in the neighborhood of 150 cars were shipped out of the yards and this morning the yards were full of country buyers. Under these Influences the market opened active and strong to lOc higher on doslrabl * kinds. Buyers picked up the desirable lota of cattle as fast as they could come to them and the alleys were soon crammed with cattle going to ward the scales. Common kinds were as a mutter of couroe not so much Improved and were neglected untfl everything else was out of tne way. Representative sales : BEEF STEERS. No. Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

August and were expressed In three ligures for the first time this month. How ever the demand was correspondingly good , so 'that ' there wore none too many. On the llrst round buyers talked lower prices , bidding In many cases fl.25 for heavy hog * that sold later at $1.30. After the first round the mnrket became fully steady with yen'tcrday ' and active , so that everything was disposed of in a very Miort time. The close wa a little stronger. Some sk ps sold down as low as $1.15 , and some rough loads nt $1.25. The bulk of the heavy hogs went nt $4.30 , mixed loads at $1.32H < ff .35 and light loads at $1.358-1.40. Considering the fact that the run was the largest In some time , the market would have to be reported as being In very satisfactory condition. It will be noted from the table of average prices at the head of the column that the hogs today sold lOc higher than one and two weeks ago. Representative sales No. Av. Sit. Pr. No. Av. Sk.
