Egglebton de livered out more than any ono man , but the property caiio | In llttlo jags from all quarters. The trading session began at 10,10 : and ended at 1 o'clock. 1'art of that timn business was dull although It livcneit up considerably the last hour. September premium got thinner from the start , but It was not until Dunn tried to bell a good sized lot for September that the discovery was made that Hutchiii- t > on had withdrawn his support from the near by end of the market. September broke off J o quickly , and later on in the bession it declined another Jfo. At tluo saniotimc Cud- ahy and a small army of local operators who have been trying for several days _ to break the market , concluded to abandon further ef forts , but when they undertook to buy in tlioir December they found very llttlo for sale , The reports that canio in from the northwest arc more alarming than they have been anytime yet and many of the operators who liavo been "playing for a re action" deemed it imprudent to pursue tlioir bear tactics further. From being bearish the sentiment of the crowd changed to bull ish and wliilo September was declining De cember advanced about le. Closing quota tions show u shrinkage as compared with yesterday , and December a gain. Trading In the first named month was light , and in December was very heavy. The strong fcaturo of the market , was calamitous nowo from the spHng wheat sections. Now York pulled back , and not much encouragement was derived from Cables. Con tinental and English market ro- perth are not In accord , ono being firm and the other weak. The receipts at primary markets keep up to about the recent average and seaboard clearances mo only moderate. New York wired numerously and with vary ing degrees of emphasis that exporters were selling out their wheat. In any event export ers do not seem to bo Increasing their lines of wheat hero. Toward the last a rather easier leeling prevailed in this. market and pfloea worked back fractionally. There was good general buying , however , to the end. The corn market was quiet to-day and nar row , the whole fluctuation of the session be ing only about % c , and was in the main weak , closing with September about ko lower than it closed last night , selling October about J c lower and May ; 4o lower. The tnarket was without any especial feature anrt the trading without signiilcanco , being largely of a ncr.lping character. The weather did not seem to cut much of u figure and a report that the thermometer in certain localities was hovering about the frost line had little or no effect on the market. The weather In the corn belt was said to be all that could bo desired , and long futures showed more weakness than the near-by de liveries. October ranged at 4 eto-H % @ ! 5e , split , closing at about 44 . May sold Irom 40l o early to 89e , closing at about U9S < c , In oats the month opened dull and quiet , with slight intcicst displayed or liltlo dis position to triido.

Of pork they amounted to 1M)0 ) barrels , of lard to 0,500 tierces , and of short ribs to some 0,000,000 pounds. Lard passed rather freely , but poik and short libs found a prompt lodgment. Armour , it was said , took the portt , "unit Norton & Worthmgton the major portion of short ribs. In the market deliveries weakened prices early a little , but the underlying feeling was strong and the ground lost was moro than recovered sub sequently. The bull sulo had evi dently the largest number of friends , and from the opening the demand for all descriptions of property was quite active. The January future almost divided with Oc tober the attention of speculative trade. Lard was relatively the strongest article on the list , though as u rule closings showed an advance on yesterday's final prices. Pork , ut the adjournment was unchanged foe Sep tember and 7'fo higher for October and Jan uary.

Always original and characteristic , she has now be come so peculiar that licr relatives deem it best to keep her In retirement for awhile. That she will recover from her physical ill ness is not deemed likely , but an Immediate demise Is not looked for. The decrepitude of old age. has come upon her.

Until a few years ago she retained her mental power to a surprising degree , but latterly it has de clined and now she is little like herself.

[ Special Telegram to Tim HEI : . ] The money has met an enlarged demand from merchants who arc paying for heavy purchase bills of fall goods for the pur pose of securing the liberal discounts allowed by manufacturers to cash buyers. Manufac turers are also in want of funds with which to pay for raw material which can always bo bought to better advantage with ready money. There is also an increased call for funds from leading winter wheat points where the crop is arriving freely. Increased calls from such sources coupled with applica tions from operators on change with which to pay for property bought for September delivery , has materially enlarged results for discounts at banks. Hut the sup ply of funds is ample for requirements , and bending rates arc without quotable altera tion from the close of last week.

The supply of New York exchange offer ings from interior cities that always look to Chicago for a market when they have an ex cess of bills beyond home necessities , have been such as to keep bankers bills at COSSOc ( discount per $1,000 , and Chicago bankers have ordered liberal amounts of money from the cast by express.

The Jobbing trade in dry goods and other leading lines of merchandise has shown en larged activity , and in the first mentioned branch jobbers have been compelled to work late at night to meet the demands of custom ers. Prices for all leading lines are steady and some descriptions linn , collections have improved and merchants are well satisfied. The New York stock market has been moro animated and better business has trans- HJrcd at a higher range of prices. The feel ing in the east is decidedly in fnvor of higher prices. The same feeling also exists in Lon don , where there Is nn abundance of idle money that is seeking investment in Amer ican securities , as there is moro chance to get quicker returns on investments than in anything they are ublo to discover at present. Reading , St. Paul , Lake Shore , Louisville & Nashville and Union Pacific are the favorites with foreign Investors , and they confine the bulk of their purchases to them. The coal stocks , under the leader- shin of Laekawana , have load the list in point of activity and strength , and the largest gains were in those properties. "Grangers" came in for liberal attention , and recorded fair gains , but nothing like that witnessed in Laekawana , which at times gave tone to the rest of the market. Commission orders have improved slightly , but the market Is still a professional ono and not liable to change very readily unless something startling de velops. Earnings are increasing slightly and are likely to continue so , as the best bus iness of the year Is now starting in. The ag gregate sales on the New York stock ex change for the week were 1,123,000 shares. Speculation ran wild in wheat during the week just closed , and an immense volume of business was transacted at materially higher prices. The shorts were driven to cover with great rapidity. Haying orders came In larger volume than nt any previous time since the present crop began to move , and although there was a decided disposition on the pait of the "longs" to realize profits and enormous lines were thrown on the market , prices reached a higher point than many of the most sanguine bulls had expected to see this month , The excitement in wheat detracted from other speculative articles , but a fair business was transacted , and the feeling generally wns better. An unsettled feeling prevailed in provis ions , and prices were advanced sharply on all speculative articles , but with thu excep tion of lard a fair reaction followed. The outward movement of hog products to con suming points was large , and as the arrivals of hogs were light a reduction in the stock o cured products was witnessed. THADK CONDITIONS. There lias been no material change in the financial aspect. Money continues easy with a fair demand from both city and country customers ut ruling rates , S@10 per cent ; exchange - change steady at $1 per thousand. General trade continues very good. Collections are seasonable and jobbers are satlllcd that the year's business will bo exceptionally good. SOTCS. The freight rate war on eastern railroads on cattle continues. The rates , says the Drovers' Journal , were raised \i)4c \ per owt. last Saturday , and now stands lOc to New York , 7Kc to Uuffalo , and 15o to Boston. It takes ten ( lavs' notice to raise , and there is no telling when things will bo settled. Since the now season commenced over 2- , 100,000 bushels of wheat have been shipped from San Francisco direct to Havre. This U much the largest quantity ever shipped to that port in the same length of time. Moro than $40,000,000orth of American refined lard is exported every year. Lard ranks sixth in value out of $800,000.000 of American exports. It Is exceeded only by cotton , bi-eailbtulTs , petroleum , tobacco and bacon. From January 1 to August 23 the domestic produce exported from New York was val ued at { 181,481,093 , against { 203,000,4'20 , for the same time in 1887 , and $ , ' 10,2ii in 1844) . Prime , the crop expert. Is credited ' .vlth the statement that he considers Urn "pros pect for corn maturing before ( ro t tery up- cerium. " During the year 18S7 the mineral v luecf Vbo United Stnt s excnndcil the Vota ! ever reiichrd by t.ny fthcr country , the njfgropata amounting to * .ViS,050.W& . Is kcld.tu bcm-.e extent at conccttloos from the published quotations , but the trust is not letting go Its hold and it is reported that some of the large New York refluent are curtailing the production of soft white sugars. Present blocks of raw sugar are ample and the supply in the four leading British ports amounts to 253,000 tons , against only 201,0'JO tons a year ago. Tlio Louisiana cano has been growing finely up to last Sat urday , but since then one of the severest storms on record has visited the sugar par ishes , blowing down much of the cano and destroying several sugar-houses Some of the largest planters estimate the loss at 10 to 40 per cent , but this is doubtless an exagger ation. Coffee is fairly active , but prices arc weak , with cables of u weaker Kio market. It is rumored that n prominent Kio Janeiro house , generally considered authoritative , has 1 ° creased its estimate of Km crop to 5,000,000 bags. A Klo cable reports clearances of 11- 000-bags for the United States and 10,000 bags for Europe , the stock at Kio being 210- 000 bugs. At New York the cargo of mild coffee just received on the Baxter is offered at 20c for Padang and 24o for Mandahllng. but these are higher figures than bujers will pay. pay.Teas are selling moro freely in moderate- sized lots , but buyers are still acting eon- servately and refuse to purchase largo par rels. Prices show no particular changes , either nt auction or private sales. Sales have been made in Now York of about 17,000 packages old Foochow at 12fi13) e. Tlio Foimosa cables report that thoavailablo sup ply will bo about 1,500,000 packages less this season than last on account of the shipments to the straits bcttlemcnts. * Mackerel are scarce and high , with limited sales. The binding of mackerel by the New England licet at all the ports hist week foot up 2,015 barrels , against 2,395 barrels the previous week and 4,118 barrels the corresponding spending week last year. The total catch to date is 17,374 barrels , against 31,059 barrels in the sumo time in 18Sr , 37,127 barrels in It&fl. mid 208,250 barrels in the same period in 1SS5. Produce , Fruits , Etc.
