CHICAGO , Sopt. 2 . Profit taking -was
the feature of all the grain markets today
nnd material declines In wheat nnd corn
resulted. Oats closed unchanged- Decem
ber wheat declined ? c and September He.
Corn closed \to \ lower. Provisions closed
with Insignificant changes both ways.
Opening prices In wheat showed practi
cally no change from yesterday's closing
figures. Trading wns light at first , with
the professional clement Inclined to sell
on the theory that the recent advance had
nbout reached Its climax , while commission
houses had fair buying orders from the
country. Early statistical news was de
cidedly bullish and soon after the opening
a marked falling off In offerings took
place , with an increase In the demand nnd
n fair advance resulted. Some nervousness
was shown by September shorts and the
npread between September and December
widened at one'time to lc. Rumors were
current of a squeeze In September and an
increase of only 433,000 bu. In the contract
mocks tended to increase the uneasiness
of shorts. Nevertheless , the professional
clement continued to sell and though offer
ings were well absorbed for some time ,
the short selling and profit-taking ulti
mately weighted down the market and In
the afternoon prices slowly declined.
Minneapolis nnd Duluth receipts were 023
cars , ngnlnst 1,355 last week and 1,716 a i
year ago. Chicago receipts were 25S cars ,
eight of contract grade. Primary receipts
were 1,196,000 bu. , compared with 1,727,000 .
bu , a year ago. Atlantic port clearances of '
wheat and flour aggregated 541,000 bu. The ,
seaboard reported 39 loads taken for ex
port. Urntlstreet's report on the world's
visible made the increase 3.331,000 bu.
This was much larger than looked for. and
the market soon after its announcement !
became heavy , with Increased general i
felling. Liverpool was stronger nnd % ® % d
Jilgher. This had considerable Influence on
the early strength. December opened a
Hhade lower at 73 07380. It advanced Ir
regularly to 73-4c nnd later declined to 73c ,
closing ut that price. September sold be
tween 74c and 75vfcc and closed % c lower at
He.
He.Corn
Corn was quite active. The market enrly
was strong , principally In sympathy with
wheat. There was plenty of long corn for
Bale , holders of December nnd May , es
pecially taking profits. September was of
fered liberally nt 35c by concerns supposed
to bo big holders. The market was heavy
Jate In the session , with prices gradually
declining under liberal selling. Kecelpts
were 1,118 cars. The seaboard demand was
eharp. December ranged from 30c to 30c
nnd closed 14o lower at 30c. September
ranged from 34c to 35c and closed } 4o lower
nt 31' c.
Oats in a general way followed other
grain markets , with a good-sized trade.
Early a good advance took place on good
general buying , but later profit-taking ,
which started when other markets turned
downward , resulted In a loss of all the ad
vance. The market received support from
itho heavy clearances last week , 4,000,000 bu. ,
the largest on record. Receipts were 279
cars. The cash demand was good and
200.000 bu. were taken here for shipment.
Provisions in the main were firm with
fnlr trade. Heavy sales' ' of lard for export
were reported , which made packers largo
buyers of October product and resulted in
steady market all around. There was a
disposition to sell January on the small
rallies. Liverpool reported Gd ad
vance on hams and bacon. At
the close January pork wan unchanged at
J9.75 ; January lard 21/45160 higher at
J3.Evgj5.67J5 and January ribs 214c lower at
75.10.

MOVEMENTS OP STOCKS AXI > 1IOM1S.
Ilnllroml Slatcinentn mid ( ! ld Impor
tation Mnrkct Ilrncern ,
NBW YORK , Sept , 26. The stock market
continued dull and listless In character to
day. Several favorable Incidents Imparted
nn undertone of strength and discouraged
operations for a decline , but the soaring
tendency of the money rate discouraged
nil speculative demand on the long side
nnd the day closed with nearly nil stocks
showing IOFSOS. The Incident which nt-
trnctod most attention wns the engnge-
ment < n Lomlon of $1,000,000 In gold for
New York. Prices rose to the highest on
this announcement nnd n number of
stocks renchcd n level above yesterday's
close. Money , however , rose upward by
quick plages to 20 per cent and the heavi
ness of the market was renewed.
The gold engagement In face of the llrm-
ness of exchange Is obviously based on
the expectation that the money rnto will
continue high until the receipt of the gold
here , when the prollt of the loaning rate
may make good the loss Involved In the
simple Importation. Thu course of the
local money market today contradicts the
assertions made yesterday that the higher
rate wns duo to manipulation. The present
and prospective condition of the money
market Is undeniably tight. Rates ad
vanced not only here , but at other domestic
points , both east nnd west. New York exchange -
change nt other points shows continued
pressure on this center. The announce
ment that more gold Is on the way from
Australia to San Francisco had no effect ,
the promised relief being so remote. The
fact of n three-days' holiday approaching
had Its influence also on the prevailing
dullness. The weakness on foreign stock
markets was an Influence here only Indi
rectly and so far as it was a detriment to
Bold imports.
The series of railroad statements which
appeared today wns a real and effective
prop to the market and undoubtedly in
duced some good buying from substantial
Interests such as arc not dependant on
'borrowed ' money. The over-night state
ment of St. Pnul for the third week In Sep
tember showing an increase of last year's
unprecedented level of $32,000 led the list.
Even moro striking was the statement of
the Atchlson system for August showing
Increase In the Income from operations of
$70SS93 , a result In large part due to the
heavy decrease in operating expenses. In
the cases of Erie and Southern railway ,
In splto of liberal Increases In operating ex
penses , there was nn increnso In net earn
ings for the former of $221,362 and for the
Inner of $180,375. Business on nil the trunk
lines wns reported on nn unprecedented
scale. These facts gave the undertone of
firmness to the market , the stocks espec
ially affected being those whose reports
were published.
The day's net declines reached n point
in only a few cases. A number of the In
dustrial specialties were at ono time 1 to
314 points- below last night , but covering by
the shorts worked a partial rally. Brook
lyn Transit continued very active , though
American Tobacco exceeded It and was
well sustained after an early decline , rising
a point over yesterday and closing with a
net gain.
The bond market was dull and prices were
lower. Total sales , par value , $1,320,000.
United States 2s advanced % , old 4s cou
pen Vt and the new 4s % In the bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
cablegram says : The markets here were
heavy and Idle today. On Mr. Chamber
lain's curt and emphatic dispatch to the
Transvaal , which was Interpreted in some
quarters ns meaning Avar. Amercans
fluctuated narrowly until the afternoon ,
when ( they sagged steady on uninterrupted
cable bervlce , closing at the worst. Spanish
4s were 61 , tintos 4GU. Anacondas 10- % .
200,000 pounds * gold was engaged for Egypt
and 5,000 pounds In French coin was bought.
Money was In fair demand , but small sup
ply. The bank did a fair business in dis
counts.

CATTLE Receipts were large , over. 250
cars being reported in , but there did not
appear to be too many of any kind except
ing only common feeders.
Local packers were good buyers- and no
material change was noted In the market
for deslrable kinds of beef steers , either
cornfeds or grassers. As a rule the desir
able lots were all picked up early. The less
desirable kinds of fat cattle may have been
a little easier , as the tendency at Chicago
has been lower for some time and this mar
ket is relatively high.
Cows and heifers. In fact , nil kinds of
butchers' stock , was In fair reuqest , but
still the market was not quite so active as
on a good many days and values were no
more than steady. In. some cases prices
were barely steady , and perhaps thd situa
tion could beat bo described as slow , with
the less desirable kinds of cows Inclined
to drag.
Some of the best stackers and feeders
which just happened to please some buyer
in many cases sold early at Just about
steady prices. The general market , how
ever , on stackers and feeders was slow and
considerably lower. Common kinds espe
cially were very slow sale. Some of the
same kinds of cattle sold today 15c lower
than they wer bought early yesterday
morning , and there were others that went
the same way. While the bulk of all the
cattle In the yards changed hands early In
the morning , there wsre some left until
late , and the morning was well advanced
before buyers cleared the pens. Repre
sentative sales :

HOGS There was a heavy run of hogs at
the yards today , the receipts being the
largest since the first part of July. A good
proportion of the receipts were composed
of medium weight hogs of good quality and
light hogs were also In good supply , while
rough heavy hogs were not so numerous as
usunl.
The market at this point opened up with
bids ranging not much different from
yesterday. Packers , however , were slow
bidders on the heavy hogs nnd the market
on thee grades wns reported from weak to
2Vc lower. In some cases mixed hogs were
n trlllo easy , but the lightweights were
fully steady. Reports from other points
were not encouraging , so that the last end
of the market was a little easier. Heavy
hofs sold largely at $ I.37'J ' , with n few go-
1.1K at $1.35 nnd $4.40. The bulk of the mixed
hogs brought $4.10 and $ I.42H , and the light
weights , $1.4557-1.50. Today's top wns 2Vic

more to quality than to an advance In the
market. In spite of the heavy receipts the
general market was active and practically
everything was cleaned up at a reasonably
early , hour. Representative sales :

SHEEP Arrivals were again large today ,
over forty loads bclnu reported In. At the
same time as a still further bear feature
Chicago reported a dull market. That , to-
Bether with the fact that a good deal of
sorting had to be done , made the market
late. Some killers sold a little higher than
the same kind yesterday , and some may
have sold at about steady prices , but ths
general market wns easier and In most cases
lOc lowQr.
As was the case yesterday , feeders wore
In pretty good demand and before the close
most everything In that line was dis
posed of.
