In the Hguratlvo language of wheat spec
ulator the heavy rccelptH at Minneapolis
and Uuluth gave bullish feeling a black
yc. It did not matter that Liverpool re
ported ' /id ndvnnco In the price of futures
or that New York sent word of numerous
acceptances of last night's offers and that
franco was again bidding for wheat. The
market hero found Hellers In the majority
lit the opening and generally throughout the.
forenoon. September wheat had sunk Into
1li' ) restful condition usual with an active.
trading month that has outlived Its bo.st
days and entered the thirty last days of Its
larlhly rnreer. It wan heard from only at
long Intervals and chlelly owed Its occn-
Hlimal awakening to some elevator man's
broker offering It for sale as a hedge
ngnlnst wheat bought In the country. Chi-
ago rerclptu were only 170 ears and only
two wr-ru of contract grade. The northwest ,
however , received 946 c-ars against 438 a
year ago , nnd the aggregate ut western
jirlmury markets was over 2HO.OQO bu. In ex
cess of those on the corresponding day a
your ago. A Nebraska grain dealers' as-
Hoclatlnn Issued a circular making uri esti
mate of from 43,1)00,000 ) to 55,000,000 bu. as the
nlze of tlm wheat crop of thitt stat . Ne
braska considered last year's crop a heavy
one , but according to the government re-
l > ort the Nebraska wheat crop of last year
was only 27 , 130,000 bu. Today's estimate
tavo the market another black eye , so that
both optics got damaged during the ses-
tdon. September opened unchanged at CIU
Cffil 3-8c , declined to G3e and cloned at G3 1-bc ,
buyers. Ueeembcr started unchanged to
1-Sr lower at G2 l-se , tinned up to K2',4c ,
Kruduully declined to GlUc. and closed at
tl'/iftGl 3-Fc.
Corn rather Impressed Its own character
upon the wheat market yesterday , but to
day conditions were reversed. Wheat being
heavy , It weighed upon corn and helped to
cause the heaviness shown by the latter.
Komo of the leading longs In corn appeared
to see reasons Independent of the weakness
in wheat why corn was no longer the val
uable commodity In their eyes It appeared
to bo yesterday. A good many dumped
their holdings , and of course there were
Hoveral watchful beam around the pit
ready to take advantage of wavering In
the ranks of their opponents. December
opened unchanged to Slfitfl 1-bc , held steady
for a few minutes at 31 1-bc , then began to
drop and continued on the down grade
to : the close , by which tlmo It was at 30',4c
bid.
bid.Oats
Oats dragged along after corn and wheat ,
Kotng down the ladder step by step until
near the close , when there was a drop of
I ! or 3 points at onou. There was a better
cash demand and larger lots were being
worked. May oats opened unchanged at
22V4C , declined to Ul 7-So and closed at 22c.
Provisions ylold l some with grain. The
decrease In the stocks of lard 16,000 tierces
was disappointingly small. The market Buf
fered somewhat for lack of orders , the pub
lie taking very llttlo Interest In the mar-
Itet. December pock opened 2".c down at
J8.S7',4 , rose to JS.90 , off to $8.73 and closed
nt $8.7"H. October lard began ! il4c off at
J3.07'/4&G.10 ( , up to f3J2'4 , then weakened to
J3.02V4 , buyers , the cJoslng price. October
ribs started unchanged nt $3.37. Improved to
55.37'/4iC.40 nnd declined to $3.30 , buyers , at
the close.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow are :
rU'hcat , 275 cars : corn , 5SO cars ; oats , 410
tnrs ; hogs. 12,000 head.

STOCKS AM ) HOMIS.
Mnrltrt Putin Into Lethargic Studnlnl
Then u Holiday IN Declared ,
NEW YORK , Sept. 2. There was a brief
period of activity on the Stock exchange
this morning nnd a brisk demand mani
fested for a few stocks , but the dealing
became more nnd more perfunctory as
the day proceeded. Thu market was under
thu combined Inlluence of the exhausting
heat , the tightening money market and thu
approach of thu Labor day holiday. It
had fallen Into complete lethargy by noon
and the governing committee was Induced
to reconsider Its refusal to close the ex
change on Saturday and decided to sus
pend trading from 3 o'clock today until 10
o'clock next Tuesday morning. Thu an
nouncement of this decision demonstrated
that thu weakness of some stocks earlier
In the day had been due to speculative
short Felling , shown by the demand to
cover shorts. Manhattan scored an ex
treme Improvement after marked early
weakness of M < per cent nnd Tobacco ,
after a loss of nearly 4 points , recovered
l : > i per cent. The early activity centered
In tile 1'aclllcs , the preferred stock show
ing special strength on the decision of
the Northern Pacllle. directors , announced
later In the day , to put aside a reserve
fund of $3OUOWXJ to Insure the continuity
of preferred dividends. The common stuck
fell off a point on selling by holders dis
appointed In expectation that the surplus
Mould bu distributed as a dividend on the
common stocks. The common stock rallied
only feebly on the president's statement
that consideration of dividend on the com
mon would bu In order If business con
tinued at Its present level. General Elec
tric continued to show strength and closed
at the best at a net gain of 14 per cent.
Haltlmoru it Ohio also renewed Its advance.
The market generally drifted to a lower
level In the later dealings , duo to taking
of traders' prollts in anticipation of thu
threu days' Interval of trading. The money
market hardened further , call loans gener
ally being marked up to 3 per cent on the
expectation that tomorrow's bank state
ment would show u still lurther decline in
cash holdings and surplus reserve.
The higher money rate was not reflected
In the exchange market , which was
slightly firmer in tone. HOMO'S were very
dull , but prices were more Hrmly held
than for stocks. Total sales , $2,343,000. The
reactionary tendency in the stock market
during the week has apparently turned
on the conditions In thu money market ,
though thu tact that realizing prollts and
selling stocks to weaker holders also has
n bearing on the weakness. Hates for
money have advanced and predictions nro
freely made of a further advance. Thu
continued diversion of cash Into the treas
ury on account of bond subscription ; ! Is
what has curtailed the supply of Idle
money available for speculative purposes
nnd prospects of continuance of this diver
sion nnd of growing needs from the In
terior to move thu crops have admonished
speculators to contract ventures. There
has been largo liquidation nnd following
that dullness. Sterling exchange has fallen
and money rates In London have risen , but
are still below the New York level. Still
only a lltttlo over $1,000,000 In gold has
como from London , although London has
bought stocks freely In New York. Aside
from the hardening of money and some
renewed anxiety on account of the corn
crop conditions have continued favorablu
to higher values and a large number of
stocks have responded to special causes
and advanced , especially among the Indus
trials and a few of the railroads , the pre
ferred Paclllc stocks being conspicuous.
The bond market has fallen into dullness
during the week nnd rates for money have
been reflected In lower prices. United
States old 4s , registered , and the ! " > s are
% per cent lower , the former ex-Interest ,
the new 4s nro 1-S per cent lower nnd the
3s 1-8 per cent lower In the bid price.
The Evening Post's London financial ca
blegram snys : The stock markets here
were good today and fairly active , despite
the holiday tomorrow. The feature was
the sharp rlso In Portuguese securities and
Katllrs on a revival of the rumor that
Delagoa bay had been leased to Great Hrlt-
aln. There appears to bo a substratum
of truth In the rumor , but It Is Impossible
to say anything definite about It yet.
Americans were Irregular. They closed
steady but quiet , In view of thu holiday
hero tomorrow and the holiday In New
York on Monday. Continental specialties ,
such ns Paclllc stocks , were chiefly fa
vored. The Now York bank figures of to
morrow nro anxiously nwolted , The Lon
don money market was easier today , the
rate being 1 1 per cent on the belief that ,
for market reasons , New York will not
press for gold. Argentines and Hrazlls
were very strong and the market gener
ally closed with a. hopeful feeling.
Tne following are the closing quotations
01 the leading stocks on the New York
market today.

NEW YORK , Sept. 2.-Wlth opening
prices 1 point lower to 1 point higher and
very few orders In sight the cotton market
soon turned quite weak under a selling
picsHtirc , chiefly from English nnd southern
sources. Local shorts were somewhat dis
posed to cover hi view of the somewhat
unsatisfactory news regarding crop con
ditions and the effect of recent enormous
rainfalls In Atlantic sections. Following
the opening call the' market ruled barely
utenilv and the afternoon showed a loss
of 21(5 points. Subsequently the market
ruled quiet nnd without particular feature ,
receiving some support , however , from buyIng -
Ing by commission houses and renewed
covering , caution being stimulated by the
continual light movement. At the weakest
point of the day the cotton market showed
a net loss of SfiG points. At the close the
decline was 5Ti6 points , with the market
llnally quiet In tone.

CATTM3 Today's market was lower on
almost everything In the wny of cattle.
There were about thirty loads of western
and TCXUB beef on sale , and about live
loads of cornfed steers. The market could
safely bo quoted lOc lower on fat cattle , and
while sellers were rather backward about
making the concession , the pens were
cleared In ( food season. The Standard cat
tle , which sold at 14.10 yesterday , brought
Jl today , and other westerns In the same
proportion.
Medium to good western cows were away
lower , or In the language of the yards ,
rotten. Uuyers did not appear to want
the offerings of that kind of cattle , and
their bids were fully lOo lower In all cases
nnd many times 20o lower. The apparent
reason for the condition of the market wus
the demoralization prevailing at other mar
ket centers and the further fact that pack
ers were heavy buyers yesterday and did
not require many cows today. While the
good cows were very slow at the decline
noted , canners were In active demand and
the market fully steady.
The demand for good heavy feeders has
Increased of late until there are more buy
ers for that kind of stuff than there are
cattle and In consequence prices are well
maintained. Hy good heavy feeders are
meant cattle weighing about 1,000 to 1,100
pounds , and they are selling largely at
$1.1004.30. Medium weight cattle , weighing
around SOO to WO pounds , which at one time
were In very active demand , are not In
as much favor as they were and are lower.
They are selling very largely at J3.75SI.CO.
Choice yearlings are not In such brisk de
mand as they were at the high lime , but
choice bunches are still good sellers at
prices ranging nil the way from Jl.W ) lo
fl.BO. All common kinds of stock or feedIng -
Ing cattle , regardless of weights , are ; oor
sellers and holders of such nnd It no ensy
matter to unload. Keprcscntatlvc . .ulon :

SHEEP There was n pretty decent run
of sheep here again today , but of thoce
reported In live cam were consigned direct
to packers , so that the nctiml olTerlnss on
the market were far from large. The m.ir-
ket its a whole vvns In good shape , and for
the most part entlrly satisfactory to the
selling Interests. Desirable mutton sheep
were In demand nt about steady prices , and
the market rould not b" quoted much dif
ferent from yesterday. Lambs sold u little
lower than some of the same kind brought
yesterday. The demand for feeding sheep
and lambs continues very active and then'
are still a good many more buyers than
sheep. Prices on that kind of stuff continue
