Notwithstanding nn opening ddvancu of nbotit % il In tlmt market and a ntnnll gain al 1'nrK opening quotations for Dcocmbei- wheat here wore nl n consider able decline. They ranged from 93H lo WAr , compared with yesterday's closing price of OHifi9liiC. It was for sale In large qunntl- tleH nt those figures und continued lo be urged upon the huycra until a few minutes from lliu Hlnrl the price WUH forced down to ! Kl4c. ! Tnm proved the rallying polnl for u Ic upward movement. The crop ? in Indtn nnd Argentina were well spoken of In to day's advices , nnd reports from UIOHO conn- ttles were lnllurntl.il In the curly weakliest. An exportable surplus of from CO.OOI.OOrt to ailnKiiU ) liu. wan estimated for Argentina , notwithstanding leporis of damage by lo- cuslH , Avhll'j general ralnn In Indln linii Im proved Ihe prospects for n bountiful crop. I'hlcugo received 3.11 carloads of wheat. : I3 of which were or the crude of No. 2 spring. None of It was contract < iuullly. Minneapolis and Dnliilb rt.velved Ml cars , against M2 the year before. The total primary western inni [ ( el rei-clpls for the day were Il32.ri.i ! bu , , against ! ' ! ) , I9C' ' bu. for the corresponding day of the year before. That comparison with the smaller receipts hut year was one of the chief bear arguments. The Atlantic port clearance ! * amounted In whent nnd Hour to MO.UIX ) bu. New York reported a good Inquiry for export and the takingof thirty hoatlondH. This encouraged the bulls , and nn advance to iilVtC followed the decline to O.T/iP. The fact thai premiums were being p.ilil for eaHh wheat nt Minneapolis and Uu- lulh atlrai'ted nlletilUin anil helped to mini mize the effect of the liberal receipts nl those polnlH. Cloning cables reporled Liver pool ftd hip her for Seplember and Ud lower for October. Traders watched the opera tions of Ihe bull i llqnc brokers narrowly dnd followed Ilium ED closely that thu mar ket fluctuated rapidly on a comparatively small trade. After tbo ndv.ince to yi'Je ' De cember declined to 83 % and rose again to pic. Then what little support the market liiul dlKappuircd. and by ploying time De cember bad declined to 'J.UifiSIlVJc. Corn was weak all day , affected by the breaking of the drouth , rains being rc- jKrlcd In mosl of the corn states. There wart very heavy Helling by Ihe 'bear profes sionals. A feature of the market was the "pulling" of a large line early In Ihe day , evidently with a view to hurrying along the decline. There were predictions of fnst wcsl Friday and this caused some rally from the bottom. Atlantic I'leiirnncctt were ill- ! ) 000 bu. ItcielniH here were .S < > 2 earn. Decem ber ruiiKcd from IlPiu lo ul'uclosing nt 3l'ifi31c. a iluellne of'tc. \ . OalK was si5w ! and steady. Cash demand was not co geol ns Wednesday , but reec'pls Were small , ! S > 3 i-irs. Little Interest was ebown and llueiuatlons were confined to He range. C'lear.mces were 522,000 bu. Decem ber ranged from 21c to 21' ' c , closing un changed ut the 1'itter llsure. Provisions ruled llrm after n weak open ing. The yellow fever news got In Its usual wotk al the beginning , helped by u weak hag market , bill packers were good buyers on the break anil continued to absorb the offerings throughout the session. The mnr- kul bud apparently been thoroughly liqui dated In the last few days , and selling WUH left lo profe-slonnl beats.

The.mnrkct closed thl evening with n general Ie.\ot of prices lower after n day of gtcat Irregularity nml constant movemenl up and down on Ihe whole llsl over n narrow range , Quite n Inrge number of Shares showed smnll fractional gains and n few stocks showed notnblc rises , bul the grangers , Vnn- derbllts , trunk lines nnd transcontinental lines as a whole declined In value. This Is true notwithstanding the fuel that London was n buyer of favorite stocks all the day and nil the general news ns to Improving business nnd Incrcnscd enrnlngs of railroads continued lo favor ndvnnclng prices. Prices were In fnct higher nl Ihe opening , dul liquidation quickly set In nnd prices generally receded. The closlns oul of accounts of u fulled llrm under ( he rules of the Slock exchnnge had something to do with the undertone of heaviness whlcli wns man ifest all day. The fear of Interrupte-d trnjllc In the south from yellow fe\er also depressed the price of rnllronds In that region. The steady tone manifested In the exchnnge market early In the day had the effect of discouraging hope of the curly Importation nf gold nnd this had Us Influence In aiding the reaction. This had thu greater effect decnure of the hardening tendency of the money market , asking rates for call loans being ns high ns 2li per cent. The marked weakening on the exchiingc market In thu lasl hour'served to steady prices of stocks to some extent , the decline nol only being checked but reco\erles being shown In tiie closing transac tions of the stuck. The rate of exchange un Paris WHS nlso wenk nnd It seems evident from the action of the Hunk of Englnnd In mnln- talnlng Its minimum discount rntc of 2 per cent In face of the continued decrease In Its e- serve nnd In Its stock of bullion that Iondon expects Purls to supply the llrst demands ot this country for gold. Hut the Paris exchange on London recorded n full todny which would naturally tend to weaken tlie forc'c of the New York exchange demand on Purls. Northern I'aclllc Issues were nt one time In speelnl de- mnnd nnd showed mirked advances ns wns also true of Consolldntcd Ous , Plttsburg. Cincinnati , Cdlcaso St St Louis , Chicago Great Western nnd the Minneapolis & SI. lyiuls stocks. All of these tcacted from the best , dut most of them re mained nt ft net ndvnnce over last night's clone. Plttsburg , Cincinnati , Chicago & St. Louis com mon nnd preferred -show net gains of 1 % and 2 points , respectively. Consolidated C.as gnlnert 2 points net nfter having been 2 points higher. Other marked gains were Buffalo , Rochester & Plttsburg , 3'.4 per cent ; I'hlcngo Great Western preferred , 3 per cent ; Evnnsvllle & Tene Haute preferred , 2 } ; per cent , and Erie Mist picferred. liny State Gas. Illinois Steel , Dusted Oil nnd Omaha preferred n point or over. The decline extended beyond fractions In t'.ie case of Sugar , Canadian Pnclllc , Illinois Central , Kansas City , 1'ltts.burg Ai Oulf , Ixjulsvllle. St. Joseph & Grand Island second preferred nnd Keokuk & De * Molnes preferred. Transactions In the bond market were on u considerably diminished scale and prices were somenhat easier. The tolul tales were of u par value of about $3,000,000. The bid price of United States new 4s was ' , Je lower ; new 4 coupon sold ut 12"j i nnd new 4s registered nl 12CU , . The Evening Post's l ndon financial cable gram says : "The stock market hen- was quiet today and dull , but nfter n setback on the- re ceipt of the New York opening prices , closed stronger. Low-priced shnres were largely bought by speculative operators here. Grand Trunks were booming enrly In 111" day , but closed under the best. The remarks todny of the governor of the nink of England about silver In the re serve had little effect. The provisos attached to bin letter t the chancellor of the exchequer nre so Impossible thnt It Is believed that nothing will come of the motion. The Paris bourse was weak on the sharp break In Sp nlsh securities. The llerlln market was steady.

The most of the cattle here were westerns , with only n small proportion of beeves. Killing cattle have bc-cr. selling high bore as compared wllh other markets , and that fact , supplemented by u reported decline al Chicago tonay , produced a decidedly easier feeling here. At Ihe same lime Ihcre were nol many fat slecrs here , nol nearly so many as yeslerday , and not enough to make much of a test of Ihe market. Some pretty good cattle sold up to $4.85 , and | 4.Kt , but there was nothing equal In point ot quality lo Iho loppy cattle here yester day. Cows nnd heifers were slow nnd easier , and H was some time before a clearance was effected. Choice feeders were steady , and Ihe de mand for such wns good , but common kinds were slow.
