CHICAGO rnonuciij MARKETS. CiitcAfio , Sen' . 27. [ Special Telegram to TUB UEB , ] The wheat market win flrm and even strong early today , but as n whole It was heavy In tone , and a sharp decline oc curred In the last hour and a quarter. Sentiment wns bearish , though great caution wan exercised In starting the market. The demand was moderate and offerings were not excessive In the first half ot the session. Four out of live of the operators who were were "whooping things up" a few days ago are outspoken for a reaction. Cables camu along earlier than usual , and the blackboard was distinctly not bullish. For that matter It has not been bullish for two weeks , the IHlcrlor receipts being largely In excess of the shipments , while exports nrediscouraglngly light. A great deal of steam has been lot off In the speculative market stnco last Wednes day , and , ns no now fuel has been added , the feeling Is ihutoHanguor. Indications would point strongly In the direction of a further reaction but for the ono fact ttiat stocks of contract wheat are dangerously light und the quality of arrivals continues to make n poor showing. It Is true that the advance of tha past ten da.ys tuts started considerable wheat forward , but only a small percentage of ll will co mo to Chio.xjo. St. Louis will got the bulk of southwestern wheat and DulutU and Minneapolis the bulk of northwestern wheat. The movement In tlio northwest promises to Increase to a larger volume proportionally than further south. Indeed , the pHnclpal factor of weak ness to-day was the assurance received by well Informed people that n very urgent de mand for cars In Minnesota and Dakota portended tended a very heavy movement ot spring wheat next week and possibly for consider ably further In the future. Dispatuh.es from Duluth early in the day mentioned the work ing of 75,000 bushels ot hard wheat fur ex port , but this could not bo conllrined. Now York advised that eight loads lind boon taken there for shipment to South Amer ica. The local market did not display decided weakness until nearly 12 o'clock. Up to that tlmo December mid averaged about 83o and May above S5c , the extreme range having been 82Ji@83j > c for December nnd 83tf@85c } for Aiuy. During the last hour , however , values receded nndtho mar- uetdfdnot manifest rallying power. Last prices were at about the bottom nnd the tone at tlio finish was tlmt.of weakness. Decem ber opened nt 83c , sold off % c , advanced to b3J.fc , clung around 83o for uwhllo and then advanced to 83@S3 } Mitchell lending in the buying. Tlio market slowly yielded if@2 < fo and then sud denly broke uff to 82jijjC. The rocoverv lo 82J o was followed by a decline to 82 c. The last flftoon minutes of the session wcro not marxod by especially now features. The closing quotation on December was 62. ? c , a not loss of J c. May sold at the opening enc c basis of 85)Yc ) , then off to SSJ c and up to 85)4@85 ) c. A decline to SGJ4'@Snc fol lowed and subsequently a bulge to S5a b5J < c. The long break carried the price to 84Jic. The close was 85J < c. Soplomber ranged nt 81@SJ ( c nnd closed at SOj c. Trading In corn was spiritless and the ten drmcy was toward still lower ilgurcs. Tran sactions are said to bo curtailed by firmness and a scarcity of ocean tonnage. The ship iilng demand here confines itself at prcsen largely to high mixed nnd lower grades 'Ihero was again a good deal of changing be tween October and December , soiling out o the near and buying the more distant deliv ery. The range of fluctuations was slightly wider than has been usual for some tirno but a further loss in values was the ultimate outcome , September sold early at 3\c \ , bu declined to Ul c , and closed at tlmt , ant May sold from nuj o curly to'SH c later , am closed nl S3c bid. Oats \vero rather firmer to-dny and consld crnblo life was Infused Ir.to the deal bj quite heavy trading between Hutchlnson and Slbloy , the former soiling und the latter buying 300,000 to 400,000 bushels for May delivery , /trading in near futures was small Receipts are not excessive , but seeuiinglj sufficient to providu for the necessities o buyers. Closing quotations record n smal advance In tlio whole list n mere fraction. Provisions were fairly interesting. In October thorn was some buying by commis slon houses supposed to bo employed by mu nipulators , nnd 'n later futures of porlc a : well as in lard and short ribs , trad Ing made quite n good showing for Satur day. There was no marked activity a any time , but the easier tura to prices , ns a rule , Induced considerable covering by shorts whoso operations were well dlstrl butcd throughout the session. Prices won affected by the continued good receipts o hogs and predictions of local arrivals thi coming wnok amounting to 120,000 hcnil Excepting October pork , the closings al around were lower than yesterday's las quotations.

There was not much to do with In the way of bcof cattle to-day. There have been days vhon the beef supply was light , but to-day there wore practically no bonvcs hero.

The demand for butcher stock wag Iglit and the same thing was true of the supply , A few COWB sold nt $ l.50@1.90 ntid a fliunll bunch of westerns brought $2.00.

To-dny's hog mnrkot experienced n decline of r > @lo ( ) on heavy woiehts , while light hogs were easier , The market on heavy hojrs opened with the shippers paying about yes terday's prices for the best , and a very fancy loud sold ns high ns $1 00. This state of the trade was of very brief duration , nnd prices wcro lower almost immediately. As the later trains rolled In heavily loaded- bring ing the receipts up to a hundred cars or more the market flattened out and the buyer * wcro bidding fully 10o lower , ana in some cases IGu lower. During that time quite n good many hogs sold lOo lower. For a time the trade was very slow , but as the later ad vices from eastern points wcro a little moro favorable , nnd as It became apparent that there were none too many hogs to 1111 all the orders , the market recovered n good deal of Its lost strength , and the balance of the offer ings soon changed hands.

Tlie total receipts of. wool Binco Jonuary 1 , 1S89 , com prise 327,441 bags domestic and 131,313 bales forolsn , against 820 , < U3 Dnga domestic uiul 80,247 , bales of foreign durlu tha correspond , inir period of 13S3. The volume of business shows an increase over the past few \vcoks , but this increase conies principally from the fact that sotno largo sales made previously have just boon repotted. Several lar o buyers imvo been in the market and tnUon some good-sized lots , Jhoir object liiR to got good selections , which they think will bo more to tlioir udvantatjo than nny lower pi Ices which might result through their holding back for the purpose of break ing values nny further. These buyers lira in many Instances paying'cash ' and are thus ublo to cot nil the concessions going. Tlio market really snows considerable strength , notwithstanding the depression that has boeu brought to boar on it , and It Is only iu exceptional Instances wboro holders uro weakening. As a rule the leading houses nro not pressIng - Ing their wool In the least , and m.uiy con signed lots nro hold conslder.ibly nbnvo the present market. Some sales mode show concessions , but for desirable purcols In good condition values nro fully main tained. The staple of mucli nf the territory wools is not equal In quality to the lustyoar's clip , nml wtioro a buyer has ths pick of a pile ho generally sees it Is to his advan- tugo to get the good wools while ho can. This is the principal reason of considerable of the buying Uouo lately , and the fact that some of the largo buyers are beginning to operate proves on inducement for others to follow their example. That considera ble ilrmncss is shown by holders Is manifested by their disinclination to reduce prices where bids hnvo beei made within > cent of theirusltlni ? Uguro. Souia houses when lilds are so close have conceded ttic half cent and sold the wool , but tnany Instances uro noted wncro this would not bo done , and the sulo of a largo block of wool lost in consequence. The situation with manufacturers con tinues unchanged , und thu goons market is certainly no better. They nro generally only lightly supplied with wool , and will have to buy before doing much on heavy weights , but most , of them can get along for n num ber of weeks yet , without buying much of the raw material. These largo purchases made of late are undoubtedly for the purpose of stocking UD , and so long as they couia along only a few at a time they have rather the advantage of the seller. Any free buy ing iu this way. however , would entirely chiingo the tone of the market , as owing to the strong conditions ruling abroad It would not take much to start the "boom" hero. The bulk of the receipts of the new clip came in early this year , they footing up 7,000 , bags of domestic-inoro than at this date in 1883. The sales so tar this year show a fulling oltof B4UOO,00 < ) pounds from this date last year , which shows that the stock on the market should bo considerably In excess of what it was a year ago. Cassiuiero manufacturers report some new business in the way of heavy weights this fall , the generally active demand for cloth ing inducing dealers to Increase their stocks. Worsteds are steady and trade is fair in all departments , the general business being up to expectations. Overcoatings rule flrm , and some reorders for heavy-weights have been placed. Dross goods ara llrm and the mill * are generally adhering to the recent advance made. Tratlo is slow with manu facturers , but jobbers are placing largo quantities of goods , and as they are obliged to fill up their assortments they are paying the advance. Flannels hola firm , with job bers busy , but manufacturers report only a moderate business as yet. As the auction purchases become reduced tha demand from the mills increases. The movement in cotton goods continues of a quiet , steady nature , with the mills pen- ernllv selling their product. Brown and bleached sheetings continue steady , with colored goods , such as ticks , domins , etc. , rather slow. Cottofi flannels are going for ward fretly in the way of delivery of former orders , while the jobbing demand is also steady. Prints sell well ana hold steady , with ginghams fairly steady but seasonably quiet. In Now York business continues quiet , al though a fair jobbing' trade Is steadily pomf ? on. A very fair distribution of prints , do mestics and department goods are being made by the leading jobbers , but at first hands the demand by personal selection is compara tively light , although there Is a steady call for small reassortments of seasonable goods by mull and telegraph , and some very liberal orders for certain spring goods are also hoinp : received by the commission houses through their salesmen tr.ivoling.in the west and south. Low grade union and cotton-warp casslmeres continue In moderate demand by the clothing trade , but the better prudes nro somewhat slucglsh. Light weight worsted suitings and trousering * are In lim ited request , but some duplicate orders for certain makes are being received. Hoavv woolen and worsted suitings are in light de mand for the renewal of assortments , and there is a fair movement In overcoatings and satinets on accountof back orders. Cloakings , stockinets and jersey cloths continue in mod erate request by manufacturers and the jobbing trade. Flannels and blankets are re ported to be moderately active iu jobbing cir cles , and a light reorder demand for certain makes is also reported by agnnta. Carpets are being jobbed in fair quantities , with sitirts and woollen und beaver shawls steady. The general movement has been fair in all departments of trade , and in some lines conditions are stronger. The most strength at present is noticeable in the iroin inaikct , the improvement having apparently struck all Kinds. Pig iron la flrm and the demand appears to bo snfllclcnt to absorb the production , although the output of the furnaces Is larger than over before. Swedish iron continues flrm , with nvotcolls advanced $3 per top. Bars and shapes ire jlrmor but not quotably higher. Manufac tured Iron is doing bettor , and prices tend upward. Copper is quiet and still rather unsettled. Dry goods Imvo sold fairly in jobbing departments , but the bad weather has Interfered with trade. Lumber is goiug quite freely into use , building operations be ing carried on quite extensively. Leather holds steady In pi Ice and ) buyers are taking supplies to keep their factories employed at full former rules. Rubber (3 ( fooling the ef fects of a brisk demand , and general values , have advanced. Mr. A. H. Alden , of Q , A. Alden & Co. , loading rubber operators , in speaking of the outlook , says : "Buyers Imvo held off in their attempt to force rub ber down , until now they are obliged to hnvu supplies. Iho low prices ruling for African grades has discouraged gatherers In Africa , and notwithstanding1 the generally dull busU nesadonolast year , the world's supply has decreased 875 tons during that time. Medium grades are now very scarce , ' with the out look unfavorable for getting immediate sup plies. No speculation is noticeable , but man ufacturers are now obliged to buy to lioep their factories going. The flour market la quiet , but values hold steady , and are maintained as buyers are In need of supplies. There Is still a steady business dnin with Jobbers , and fair lines of seasonable fabrics uro continually going into use. The brighter wnather is helping retailers , and gives prom ise of u good full business. Cotton goods uro being taken steadily , but iu u quiet way , and values hold up well. Prints continue steady and considerable lines are going into use , while general operations foot up well , Spe cialties la wide prints are still moving well. Ginghams remain quiet , but some business is still being done in dark fancies. Dress goods sell well with jobbers and hold flrm in price , the strong tone on the part of manufacturers being maintained , Flannels are still moot- lug with a good demand from jobber * , but munufucturerii report a quiet business still. Men's wear woolens hold flrm , with busi ness quiet on the part of manufacturers. The volume of new business continue * small , but leading mills have business enough on hand to last them some month * yet. Sam ples for heavy weights arc generally being prepared and will probably bo shown this year rather o.ullcr than usual. Overcoat ings contlnuo llrm , with some now business being nicked up.

Dan Talmapo's Sons relative to the rlco growth of the present year. The promise of earlier periods U borne out In all of the states except Louisi ana. In August the latter promised to dis tance nil previous records , but owing to un toward circumstances sinuo and now prevailing - vailing It will not exceed that of lust year , nnd many predict n fulling away of from 25 to 80 per cent. The largest crops made wore those of 1885 ana IbSO , which stood rcupec- tivaly 433,000 nnd110,000 barrels , cleaned rice. The total crop is now placed at ! At lantic coast states , 2U3OOJ bbls. (3Xlbs ( each ) ; Louisiana , 8:25,003 : bbls. (250-lbs ouch ) . The product , position nnd prospects of the crop In the respective states are as follows ; North Carolina. Acreage about the same as last ye.ir. Yield 15 per cent larger , , but not up to average of past decade. Quality lino. Harvesting on tide-water crop fairly underway ; upland not ripe. Planters in good ilnnndiu condition am ] will not part with crops at much If any below present prices. South Carollnn. Acreage slightly under last year. Ymld larger , but below the aver age of the past decade. Quality prime. Har vesting of early plantings progressing under favornblo conditions , but not over 25 per cent absolutely snfo , balance still in fluids. .Himi uplands scarcely ready. Planters In peed position to hold , but disposed to meet fair price. Georgia. Acreage as last year. Yield ono-haif larger , nut below the average. Quality best In many yours. Harvesting well advanced , one-half crop stacked in fields. Crop will be marketed at reasonable prices , but planters strong enough to carry and will not sacrifice. Louisiana , Acreage less than last year. Yield disappointing and not likely to equal that of lait year , but exceeds the average of the decade. Quality fair to good , mainly fair. Harvesting about half over ! balance maturine now und through October. Plant ers are disposed to hold , awaiting fjnnl out turn. turn.Much Much of the foregoing Is of necessity of a predictive character. This Is one of the critical periods of rice. A considerable per cent of that which is harvested is lying or stacked on the fields. Largo quantities are just maturing or not duo until October. Dry weather such ns they are now having in Loulsauu will materially injure the yield ; on the other hand heavy storms may arise , damaging both quality and quantity. Hlco Is hardly to be calculated on before it is milled and barrelled for market. I" all goes welt the total production will not vary ma terially from last year and if , as now promised , of good and prime quality , will bo easily marketed at about the present rates , which KM under the importing cost of nearly all styles of foreign of equal grade.

There is a real estate agent living at Kingston , N Y. , who takes a gloomy view of life , and especially of house painters , these days. A few ilayt ago ho hired an artistic house painter to paint a house which ho has on his list. But , unfortunately , he gave the painter the wrong number , so that it wns the wrong house which received a beautiful nnd becoming now coat. The agent is receiving a good deal of sympathy , and the man who got his house painted for nothing is understood to be measurably resigned. Broatli'ne ' the Gornii of Disease. To inhale the germs of disease with their daily breath is the fate of denizens of malaria-scourged localities everywhere. The endemic atmospheric poison may , however , bo reft of its venom and rendered innoxious by a defensive use of hosteller's Stomach Bitters. This pre-eminently safe and effec tive remedy and safeguard not onjy eradi cates the disease when developed , but en ables the system to safely brave its as saults. Every physical function Is con firmed In or restored to regularity , the cir culation quickened if sluggish , nnd a bilious habit , which of itself begets a proiienoss to both intermittent and remittent types of malarial disease , where extrinsic atmos pheric causes exist , powerfully counteracted by this inimitable fortifying and defensive agent , which has , moreover , none of the dis agreeable characteristics of a drastic cathar tic or an alkaloid. Fever and ague , dumb ague nnd ague cake , and the oalentura of the isthmus , are conquered oy it surely , picas nntlv. Rheumatism , neuralgia , gout , kidney und bladder troubled , constipation and indi goatUm yield to it. A Rat Attiicks a Bnbr.
