CHICAGO. Sept. 17.-H wns n < lny of llquL
dutlon unil short selling In nil the grain pits
todny. Corn suffered HIP worst , not even
the frost reported having sulllclent Influ
ence to Htop the dccllnp. Corn clotted W3
! % < lower. Wheat followed closely with n
lUc decline , wl lie oils broke He. The provisions -
visions muiket wns a shining exception to
the general rule , closing prices hoKlng
T'/i&lCi1 advances.
This wna one of the- days that the open
ing ( HiotntloiiH from Liverpool hull no ef
fect upon thu whcut market nt the start.
Thu traders who bought wheat on nn ad
vance nt Liverpool of Hd per cental , as that
markt't WUH quoted before bufltnesD com
menced hero , paid about ' /Jo more for It
than It wua soiling for ut the close thu day
before , December starting at D35tfiKIc. !
Thcru was some suspicion at the start thnt
the Liverpool market was being manipu
lated and this caused a momentary re
nt-lion to 93' ' c , but the market quickly re
acted again to OSTfcc. For moro than an
hour the buying Induced by the strength
nt Liverpool was siilllclunt to maintain the
price nt or above the opening figures. The
JCngllHh market kept gaining till Its close ,
when It had reached from : ) ld to Hid 1m-
Iirovurnent for the day. Whllo that advance
was In progress the market hero , though
qulto dull , wan llrm , but after the closing
cables were In II began to wonken. Llvor-
pool .A-nn the only foreign mnrkct to fhow
Htrttngth and advices from there explained
the ndvance by telling of Intense heat nnd
locusts In Argentine. 1'arls closed at a
decline of 30 centimes for September and
Antwerp i .t a reduction of 25 centimes ,
equivalent to I'/ic per bu. dec-line nt the one
nnd 1 > 4 < > Her bu. at the other market. Lon
don alBo Rent n bearish cablegram to the
effect that thi-re were sellers ) of cargoes at
liss money thnn was being asked for fresh
Bhlpmcnts from OCTO. The price of Decem
ber gradually dt-cllned , until about 12 o'clock
It wns qtiolcd ut M'fce. Chicago receipts were
"IS cars. 31 of them No. 2 spring- Minne
apolis nnd Duluth received 1,013 cars , against
4W a weelc ago and 1.023 last year. The
Blocks for the week nt Minneapolis nre es
timated lo iiMow a decrease of CCO.OCO bu. ;
Duluth an Increase of S0),003 bu. Thu ex
port clearances from the peaboard were
cciml In wheat and Hour to 318,000 hll.
jinrters hen a.ild there .wi-ro orders for No.
2 red wheat for the I'nlted Kingdom , but
could find none- for sale nlthln 4c of their
limits. There were export orders for No.
2 Kansas hard for export , which could be
bought 3c under December , but It was F.iUl
to have still left the price 2c above u. work
ing basis , when December was D2'/jc. Thu
market had no support near the end and the
price finally dropped to 02c. December wan
spiling at 92fiy2'/ie at thu close.
Corn was uncompromisingly heavy. The
frosts reported had no Inlltiencc In stemming
the bearish current , and the price after the
Ilrst few minutes kept on a steady decline.
Tie Continued heavy receipts are at length
having their Direct. A largo and Influential
Interest pounded the market persistently all
day and there was general bull liquidation ! ) .
1 ho ciiF.li demand was slow. Receipts were
SH cars. Atlantic clearances were 7SX)3 ! ) ( bu.
Dfcembar opened > 4o higher nt 31T31c ,
Ho'd ' down to .tOn and recovered to 31V4c ,
where It closed.
O.Us wai very slow and Weak , Influenced
by the cnrn nnd wheat decline. Lack ol
speculation was also a weakening factor , A
goo 1 cash demand existed early In the day ,
Tvhioh held prices comparatively llrm for
a time , but the weakness of other grain
markets , iinally had Us effect. Ne-.v Tork
mis a good buyer of December. The re-
celptii were 337 cars. Clearances were 2S2-
O'O bu. IJeopmbor ranged from 2H c to
"Ou.0 , closing at : oc , or V4under yesterday.
lYovIslqiis were remarkably llrm , consid
ering the weakness of Ihe grain markets
The provision' crowd was evidently ovr-r Its
yellow fever scare and shorts were eager
buyers of all products. A feature was the
large ICurojiean demand for lard. Part ol
thD o.irty advance was lost on realizing by
scalpers. At the close December pork -was
"Vjc higher at tS.32',4 ; December lard , lOc
higher at J-I.OiH114. ! ! " ' * . and December ribs ,
7'ic higher at JI.S7V4.
[ estimated receipts for Saturday : Wheat ,
2GO cars ; corn , 840 cars ; oats , 3SO cars ; hogs ,
12,000 head.

NEW YOIUC. Sepl , 17 Today's ] market wns
strum ? nnd the average \ evnf \ prices was
canr'jerahly raised RH result of today's trad
ing. It wns n noticeable fact , however , that
the greatest activity was conllned to tpoU. The
gains nlso were spasmodic In character , nnd U
could not be said t'.int there wns any stniul-
inneous ndvnnro through the whole list , Dur-
the periods while an Individual stock or
j > nf stocks was being advanced the gen
eral list showed H dliposltlon tu fall Into neglect
and lo halt the advance. It must be said ,
e\er , that the spasms of activity today went
: he round of pretty much tie ; whole markt .
The Krnngcrs. the trunk lines , the Vnndcrbllls
and Ihe southwestern * ! , all of which have re
cently been checked on realizing sales Invited
jy previous H.I urn gains , showed recoveries
today. The most conspicuous fealure of the
inaikot , however , was the lively demand for
lh coalers. New Jersey Coitrnl wns carried up
to nn extreme of 3 ? to 101 i per cent , crossing
par for the llrrt time slncu February 3 of this
rear. The decline which preceded Ihe reduc
tion of the dividend dated from that time and
culminated on May 24 , when the stock touched
SSUc. II was one of the last stocks to
feel the Impulse of the recovery of prices. The
Heading flocks all advanced n point or ovui
during the day , but fell back sharply Just at
the close. Lnckawnnna rose ZVi per cent nnd
Delaware. & Hudson 1 ; per cent. Thenwn
some stirring up of the dead cats and dogs on
the list ulso nnd come sharp advances were re
corded In slocks so low In price that It Is only
n lltlle way to go to double H. The soulhern
railroads seemed to have the Incubus uf the
yellow fever scare lifted nnd Louisville , Southern
preferred and Mobile & Ohio all gained consid
erably over u point. The Incrcnsu In gross earn.

preferred all gained n point or over net. The
solution ot the troubles of the soft coal In
dustry , which Is being worked nut , was re
fleeted In sharp advances in Toledo & Ohio
Central nnd Hocking Valley preferred. Union
Pncllle was another conspicuous figure In the
trading , helm ? heavily bought by I imlon nnd
closing wllh a net gain of nearly two points.
Manhattan , whU'h Fold today cxdlvldends of 1
per cent , recoveied the dividend and another

the Fplrlt stocks , which have advanced much
less than olhers In the current movement ,
showed sharp gains , the .preferred rising a point.
The other leading Industrials. Including Sugar ,

showed n fem = whnr heavy tone and closed at
small net change except-- Tobacco , which lo.t
over n point. Westerni Union Rained over n
point , nnd the common nnd preferred stork ot
PlttFburg , Cincinnati , Chicago k St. Louis o\er

dull , especially that' foe' continental exchange ,
and It is evident that any material hardening
of the IOCH ! money .ratfwill result In prompt

United States Gs couptin--sold at 114 % .
The Evening Post's London llnanclal cable
gram , says : "The stock markets were better
here today , us operators are returning from
their holidays nnd the autumn season Is begin
ning. Americans uixmcd unceitiiln on New York
prices , but noon rallied , nnd when It wuu found
that New York wns buying again prices bounded
up nt the close. Louisville & Nashville , which
touched 6114 this morning , closed nt Cl bid.
There are Indications of nn easier money mar
ket at the moment. Two and one-half million
pounds has to be paid to Ihe Indian govern
ment tomorrow for treasury bills recently sold.
Until today It was thought that this amount
might be locked up nt the fUnk of England for
a time , but It Isnow known Ihnt the greater
part will be re-lent to the market until next
month. ThR best Informed people still consider
that gold shipments will be first made to New
York from 1'arls , but Inquiries show that no
such shipments have been arranged. I nm told
further that n large n mount of K'dd ' Is going
from Sydney to New York. The Paris liourse
was better , but the llerlln nuirknt was dull and
somewhat disturbed by the Venezuelan default. "

CATTM2 As compared \vlth yesterday
them was a falHn ; ? off In the cattle receipts
of aliout sixty cars , and still there was a
very f.ilr run for a Friday.
There were a few loads of corn-fed beeves ,
ionic of them pretty decent stuff. The de
mand was reasonably good and the market
fairly active nl llrm prices.
Cows and helfe-s were In such small sup
ply that there were hardly enough to make
a real test of the market Thu few here
sold at Just about steadv nrlces-
Stonkers and feeders were In fair supply
nnd thu early market was reasonably ac
tive , so that the bulk of the cattle changed
li.inds early. The most desirable kinds sold
at llrm prices nnd others steady. Uepre-
