COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL BopUmbor Wheat Qoas Two Gents Higher In Chicago and December Over a Gent. PORK AND RIBS HIGHER , BUT LARD LOWER Sppotilndve Trmlo In Corn nml Cxport Dfiiinnd IlrliiK n I'rno- tlonnl Atlvmiee Out * finlii n Good Half Cent. CHICAGO , Sept. 22. Today's wheat mar ket showed the effect of yesterday's failure of a lending benr firm. Relief from the heavy soiling' pressure from that source rwns a big1 factor In the advance of Hie , Which marked the close In December ; Sep tember closed 2c higher ; higher cables and a big export demand were Influential In the advance. Corn was strong on a big export demand and closed ! Ji0ic higher. Oats ad vanced ? 4So and provision closed 2s ! < 3 tower to 7V4c higher. "Wheat opened linn at a shnde over yes- tcrdny's closing price for December , nnd though there were periods of reaction , the Cencral tendency of the market was upward to the closo. At the stnrt business was rather slow , but with buyers In the , ma jority. Liverpool was up ttfy'&l , partly on the good spot demand nt that mnrket and partly on the critical state of affairs In the Transvaal. Primary receipts were large , Imt clearances were also heavy , nnd early In the session a good export business was Indicated. The main feature of the utronpth , however , wns the ellmlnntlon of the licnvy selling pressure recently put on the market by the firm whose suspension nfna nnnminpf l vnstonlnv Unrrptt Xr. KJir- sum. A great deal of inherent strength was suggested by the great nmount of wheat the market had absorbed from that nourco without nny material decline nnd It Impressed speculators to a considerable de cree. Good buying was done by 'tho local crowd , but outside support was also prom inent , St. Louis being a l lg buyer. The Hrength shown by the conrse grain markets also made Its Influence felt on wheat Inter In the session. Trading gradually broad ened nnd during the afternoon was quite active , with prices steadily advancing. The market got considerably over call price and there was a good deal of Belling against thono privileges , but everything' offered was readily absorbed. One of the largest export houses in Now York reportnd more general ncceptances of offers of wheat to foreign points than nt nny time since the Lclter deal. That many offers were still somewhat - what , under the market was shown by ex port engagements of but thirty-two loans. Alost of thn. statistical news was bearish , ibut H had Ilttlo effect on the market. Ar- pentlne shipments were large 1,632,000 bu. [ Minneapolis nnd Duluth receipts wcro 91S cnrg , ngalnst 1,022 ln t week and 955 a year ngo. Chicago receipts were 147 cars , twenty- neven of contract grade. Total primary receipts were 1,050,000 bu , , compared with J,0ij9,000 bu. a year ago. Atlantic port clenrnnces of wheat and Hour amounted to 650,000 bu. December opened at 7172c ; It eold nt Tl iS lTtc Immediately after the opening , then advanced steadily to 73c and closed Ilrm and 10H4c higher at 725i7Ic. ; lAlmost nothing was done In September. Offerings wcro light and but few bids were mecesHary to ndvnnce the price 2c. It closed nt 74c. Minneapolis reported more flour sold ithls week than has been pold recently dn n month. This had some effect on the closing strength. There was a big speculative trade In corn. Urokcrs were all well supplied with buying nrders and prices ndvnnccd sharply with December in the lend. The cash demand ( was largo , with foreigners accepting llbor- nny ror snipment or me now crop , -mo iwot weather was expected to restrict coun try movement and stocks of old corn were reported low. The seaboard reported nearly 300 loads taken for export. Shorts were ilnrge buyers on the rally. Receipts were 785 cars. December ranged from 29V4ff29c ( to 30'Ac and closed -"He higher at SOHc. Oats followed the lead of other grains. The market was strong all day. with a Rood general demand and shorts covering freely. A good cash demand was reported. ( Receipts were 286 cars. December ranged from 22V6e to 22c and closed % c higher at C. Provisions -worn rather dull but stendy. The market was helped by the strength" rraln markets and a sharp advance in meat price ? abroad and prices averaged a Ilttlo ( higher. 'English ' houses sold lard moder- ntely. At the close January pork was 7V4c ( higher at J9.70 ; January lard 2c lower at KV.K'A and January ribs a shade higher at $5.05..Estimated .Estimated . receipts1 Saturday : Wheat , 135 cars ; corn , 800 cars ; oats , 325 cars ; hogs , 16- 000 head.

Sppt. 22-Tho recuperative tendpncy on the stock market gained de cided force for the progress of today's trading , The uneasiness abroad was an element at the opening und changes wcro small nnd Irregular nnd the tone of the speculation hesltntlng , Anuconda was no tably affected by disappointment of Brit ish holders over the amount of the divi dend and dropped nearly 3 points from yes terday s closing level here , The pressure against American Tobacco was also In evi dence and Brooklyn Transit had a struggle - glo to overcome Its opening decline. The latter eventually moved upward nnd though It fell once again below last nlght'ii level Its advancing tendency afterward wns ft stimulating Influence on the mar- kPt throughout the dny. Thp stocks of New York C'lty corporations showed close sympathy with the movement In Brooklyn Transit and many rumors wpro prevalent to account for the movement pointing to n plnn of unity of control of nil the public utilities In the Grenter City of New York. The fnct thnt the interests which have boon In conflict In the local gns war nro more or less Identified with the various traction companies gave color to the ru- mor. Net gnlns In this group. Including Manhattan , Metropolitan Street Railway. Brooklyn Transit , Consolidated Gas and Brooklyn Union Gns ranged from IVi to 5 points. The movement In the specialties was most conspicuous throughout the dny , but a rnther notable demnnd sprang tip tor the rnllronds , nttrncte'd by n sudden rlo in Omaha of 7'1 points , In Northwestern of 4 points and In New York Central ot 1'4 points. These gains were not maintained , but there was notable buying all day ot Southern Pacific nnd of the grangers. Ono or two of the southwesterns advanced well. The movement In the railroads did not extend - tend far outside those llmlti except for obscure some stocks. People's Gas wus strong In sympathy with Brooklyn Transit - sit nnd there wcro good advances In Sugar and Tennessee Coal. American Hoop and Federal Steel showed strength and Pullman - man rose an adddltlonnl 1U points on ru mors of an extra dividend. There wns a very heavy demand In the Inst hour for the Leather stocks , which wns a mnterlnl fnctor In overcoming the rpnctlonary tendency of the mnrket. United States Leather common advanced to 15V4 and the preferred to i9V closing at the top. The genera market closed Btendy under this sustaining Inlluenc" , I Bomowhat below the host. Speculative opinion was Inclined to look 1 for a favorable bank statement tomorrow ' nnd was much cheered thereby. Then , wns no further evidence of Blocks being forced to sale by calling of loans nnd the rate for call money did not rise above 6 per c < mt and fell on minor transactions fielow thnt. This Is pretty good evidence that the banks arc within their legal reserve - serve , but It give no clew as fiov. inr the surplus may have been replenished. The bank" hav/lo t J2.516.000 to the sub- treasury and the known movements of money Indicate n further loss to the In terior ot about J2.750000 There has i evi dently boon some offset to the I ntcrlor movement by roce pts through the mall m d through other channels not Rurally tiscd for this purpose.

Speculation broadened decidedly , with fluc tuations at times violent. A concerted effort was made nt the start by the bear Interests to undermine the position of the longs nnd ' success for a tlmo seemed almost certain , as Liverpool was disposed to lend Its aid ' to such a movement. The selling was led by certain largo export houses of Philadel phia and New Orleans. The market opened easy , with prices 405 points lower. Europe Bent selling orders , which badly scared i pcalpern who had loaded up last night. By the end of the first half hour shorts be came frightened by the readiness with which offerings were being absorbed by brokers for southern concerns. A retreat of the bear forces was soon In full swing nnd by 11 o'clock the bulls showed a once more. Incomplete possession of the market. Before the advance had been checked prices showed a net rise of 10 to 14 points and from " 0 to 33 points as compared with the flnal figures of Saturday. The sudden turn In the market caused a sympathetic move ment in Liverpool and brought In large buying orders from abroad , leading markets of the south. New England spinners find outlde Investment circles. Speculation grew in greater proportions than recorded In many months and most of the time the market was feverishly excited. In the aft ernoon realizations on a general scale tum bled prices to about the close of last night. At the close the market was steady , with prices net unchanged to 2 points higher. The dominant bull Influence throughout the day was the firmness of spot cotton In the south. Supplementing this encouraging plate of affairs and a waning crop move- ment , crop estimates were further reduced , the average now 'pointing to a crop of not over 10,000.000 bales. .

Of the cattfe here nineteen cars were con signed direct > to CudoJiy and three cars to the Omaha Packing company , so that the number of cattle actually on sale was small. Only eight to ten cars of cornfed steers were reported In the yards and the murke-t on that kind was very slow and dull. A few cattle that were wanted early in the morning for immediate slaughter sold at prices that were Just about steady , but aside from that buyers did not seem to care whether they bought cattle or not. One thing was very apparent , they wanted the cattle lower or not at all. There was no material change in the market for grass beef steers. The supply of cows and heifers was limited 'to a few odds and ends and the market was without feature of interest. Such stuff as packers wanted brought , steady prices , but the' general trade was dull. It was so n ar the end of the weclc that 'there ' was no great life or activity in the feeder or stocker market. Good heavy feeders , however , were wanted , as they have been scarce all the week and It U safe to say that they are now jugt as high as they have been any time this season. The common and medium kinds , which broke 2340c the early part of the week , have recovered a good deal of the loss and are now pretty well back to where they were before , say within KX&lSc of the high time.

Packers all seemed to bo want ing hogs , consequently trade , was active and an early clearance made. After the llrst few sales were made prices firmed up until the market wad quoted a good nickel higher.

Manufacturers nnd operators freely paid the basis of 60o clean for line staple Montana. Territory for export has sold at 60c clean. Country markets nro excited und Ohio wool growers have marked up prices 6 per cent. It Is pre dicted here that territory will go to 60c before the upward movement will be checked.

WOOL There was great competition nt the wool auction snles today , with prices still maintaining their high level. Scoured merinos were eagerly sought after nnd a Inrge supply was taken at hardening rates , the home trade securing the bulk. Continental buyers were more ac tive today. Greasy merinos ruled against buyers. The French and German represen tatives Increased their operations , especially in locks and pieces. Crossbreds were in largo supply and will be reduced. Good lines of line stock were spiritedly competed for at fully 16 per cent advance. The York shire buyers secured the most of this wool after active bidding with the German buy ers. Heavy offerings of lower descriptions of slimes passed off extremely well at a higher level. America purchased a few medium greasy. Capo of Good Hope and Natal wool was In smaller supply and firm. A few lots of East London greasy were withdrawn owing to the bids not reaching the limit placed upon them by thn. owners. The attendance was largo.
