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

TriuiNlt Slliiiiilnti-x 3IiirU * t.
NEW YORK. 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. Thn con lltlon of
the surplus therefore depends on rely ' on

Cotton Market.
NEW YORK. Sept. 22. COTTON It was
nn exciting day on the cotton exchange.
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. . The weekly changes In
the statistical .p6slt6n ! here and. abroad
fa'-"red thf > bull,3n the main.

CATTLE Receipts were light today , but
none too light for this time of the week.
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. Representative sales :

HOGS Under the Influence of light re-
celpts und favorable reports from other
points the hog market opened up strong to
60 higher. 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.
Prices ranged from JI.30ff4.17V4 , the heavy
weights selling from Jl.30ij-l.35 , mixed hogs
from 4.35iS4,40 and the prime lightweights
from J4.4 < Xft4,47V4.
As will be seen from the table of nv-
erago prices at head of column , today's
market reached the hlg-hest point since.
August 30 , when the average price was J4.10.
One year ago they were selling at J3.73 , two

Wool Market.
BOSTON , Sept. 22. WOOL-ThO Com
mercial Bulletin will say of the wool mar
ket tomorrow :
The wool market Is higher and advanc
ing. London has advanced 10 to 15 per
cent on all descriptions of merinos and
crossbreds and higher values are looked
for before the auction sales close. Specu
lative trading has revived hero.
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. It remains to ba seen whether
manufacturers will follow the advance ,
but as mills are crowded with work It Is
certain they will have to buy wool nnd
prices will go up In the long run. Sales
for the week , 4,491,000 Ibs. domestic and
434,500 Ibs. foreign , a total of 10,925W )
Ibs. for this week , against a total of
9,829,000 Ibs. last week and a total of
9,914,000 Ibs. for the corresponding week
last year. The receipts to date show an
Increase of 22,175,979 Ibs. of domestic , a
decrrnso of 33,850 Ibs. from last year.
The sales to date show an Increase of
112.478,000 Ibs. domestic and 13,563,600 Ibs.

LONDON , Sept. 22. 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. The following Is

The appraisers In the mntt&r of the con
struction of a new viaduct have reorganized
after the appointment of two new members
to succeed those who could not qualify nnd
have begun the required thirty days' no
tice by publication and personal service. A
hearing of the owners of property affected
has been set for December 1. The necessity
for a new appraisement Is the determina
tion whether the greater width of the now
structure will cause greater damage to sur
rounding property tliun the old one caused.
