Provisions vary from 5c gain to lvo uc cllne. 1 here appeared to be little In the early market news to c.iuse tie weakness In dicatet by the opening prices. While crop reports were fewer in number, those which came were t;c:trc ly more tesuring than those which so recently threw the trade Into a atate of frenzied excitement. Never theless. In spile of possible furlher d.im;ige to crops, tne local trnde srrayerl It5eif Inrgel on the selling side of the m.irket. Nheat, which stniteii with a loss of ''' to c at ll.iiy.il o!i"4. siumped to 1 u7. while lecem!irr, Irom an Initial loss of -nc; to lc at II in to 1 ICS, sold down to ll.ivV At the low points In both deliveries a little better tone developed on buying, attributed to the northwest. The result ol the Im provement In sentiment was a rally to 41 .I1 fit September, the closing liguie. ond in Decemi er to 11.10. The latter option closed at ll.Wiyi.Oi-Ho the final tone dm playlrg much or th weakness prevalent throughout the session. Primary receipts were i:Uuo bushels ssnlnst M2.C0 bushels last year. Clearances of wheat and Hour were equal to 1.4mi bushels. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chl.i.fro reported receipts ol 400 cars, as against' 475 car last week and 342 cars a year ago. The weather In the cron belt was too cool for the peace of mind of traders tod-ty aid values were not permitted to suffer with wheat. Kven the hitter forecast of warmer weather did hot appear to allay fear of frost. Starting with a firm under lone, hut at prices unchanged to o lower September advanced from 64c to 544c to 6)4c December, under an equal buying pressure, began 'c lower to 4c higher at 63c to h.!V,c and was lifted to ,Mc before the demand was satisfied. As the session advanced the market borrowed strength from rumors of heavy purchases In this market for export Some of the advance was lost through the effect of th govern ment report which showed the past week to have been very favorable to crop growth. The consequent liquidation brought prices back irom the high point. Septem ber reac'ing to 65c nnd December to blc, the final quotations for the day, but the tone was stronir. Oats were active and withstood with but slight loss the bearish Infiuences of heavy receipts nnd a tremendous Increase in local stocks. The material advance In corn was the sustaining power. An Initial loss of 4c In the September option at ".te to 3;Hc was more thnn rgiilned through ex cellent scattered buying. The price went to S4c, reacted to 33c and nguln rallied to the closing figure. :-c, with a very steady tone. Local receipts were 501 cars. Provisions were Inclined to tlrmneas, De Ing helped at the start by an advance of 6iil0c In the price of hogs and later by the strength in corn.

Prices receded before the end of the morning scxslon ajid th volume of business which at the outset promised lo be very cor.aldersble dwindled to moderate proportions. London, whose markets were weak a. a result of fresh developments affecting British Interests In the far earn, sold a lot of stocks, chiefly standard railway shares, ar.d bought very little. Reports, however, credited foreign houses with purchases of Missouri, Kansas & Texas preferred. A sharp auvajice In cotton, based largely on the rise In Liverpool, was doubtless artly responsible for the reactionary tone stocks ps the dav wore on. The market drifted aimlessly and lower prices were re corded wPh a further reduction of opera tions. Of the more active issues Vnlou Pa cific and Southern Pacific held moot firm. St. Paul wi offered down by brokers Iden tified with western Infrests, while Atchison w is sola on rumors of frost In the corn belt. Tho extreme apathy of the mrrket In the linnl hour extended lo tho bond divi sion In wldch dealings became very light. The closing reflected uncertainty. Net de clines In the active list were in no Instance very vcre, the greatef-t losses being sus tained by New York Central and Sugar i ach dec.lnlng 14. Southern Pacific closed with a fractional advance. The strength of Southern Railway, which was a conspic uous feature of 1 1 ,0 dny, was attributed largely to the Improved situation growing out of the new ownership of the seaboard system. Stocks of the express companlts were ninong the few noteworthy features of the day, their qalns on lieht frrwlinR re viving rumors of a concentration of their Interests. Aduns Express advanced 6 ar.d W'f 11. '-Fargo 26 points. The subtreasury made a telegraphic transfer of J.'uo.ioo to New Orleans. This Is believed to represent the first shipment of the season to the cotton fields nnd attracted pome attention because of the general be lief that the south will this year have the largest cotton crop on record. In this event the New York banks will be called upon for unusually heavy amounts. The sum of $200,000 was shipped to Canada, presumably to aid the crop movement In the dominion. Foreign exchange eased off a trlfie with a slight Increase In orTerinps of commercial bills, but not enough to effect the market.
