10 THE OMATFA DAILY BEE : TUESDAY , SEPTEMBER 13 , 1808. COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Wheat Starts Out with Slight Slump and Later Ealliei and Qains , INCREASE IN THE VISIBLE WEAKENS CORN I'rovUlonn PI rut on an i\pellrnt Cauli Deiiifiiid ivlth llea of Lnril unil Itll.i. CHICAGO , Sept. 12.-LlBht commercial Blocks and smaller western primary receipts today strengthened wheat after nn early decline. September left off Hu higher nnd December rose ' , VQ6-i > c. Corn lost 3-Sc. Oats gained l-8c. Provisions are unchanged. Lower Liverpool cables , big receipts In the northwest nnd the Increase In the world's shipments , especially the ship ments from Russia which seemed to dis credit the reported crop disaster In that country started wheat a trifle lower. The corn market was also weak and had a de pressing Influence on wheat. Trade was < lull and longs liquidated freely from the fitart , with a good sprinkling of selling or ders from the outside. Later , however , It was found that the northwestern markets were holding strong nnd higher in spite of big receipts there and that both cash and futures were advancing. That , together with light speculative offerings here , alarmed the early sellers , and there was Homo heavy covering for a time , which turned prices upward. Chicago received only 23T > carloads , against MS a year ago , while Minneapolis and Duluth's arrivals weru 1,446 cars , as compared with 1,103 for thu corresponding day lust year , the sum total of western primary market receipts was 1,641,000 bu. , or 252,000 bu. less than for the similar day the year before. The amount of wheat and floor on ocean pas- wage showed a decrease for the week of 240,000 bu. , compared with 2,000,000 bu. In- the same week last year. The English vis ible decreased 651,000 bu. . against 529,000 bu. decrease a year ago. The Increase In the domestic visible was 1,259,000 bu. , whereas the crowd had been led to expect nn In crease of 1,750,000 bu. Such a great array of bullish statistics had Its natural effect ami was largely Instrumental In keeping the price on the advance as they severally came to the knowledge of the traders. There was a good demand from shippers nn the seaboard on a basis of 2c premium In store here over September price. Sep tember opened 1-803-Se lower nt 62V4JJ625ic , held at G2'/4c for a time , then rose gradually to Gl 1-Sc and reacted to 63 3-Sc , the closing price. December started 1-Sc down nt C07-S61c , weakened to 60 fi-SCO4c. | firmed up to 62c and declined to 615-Sc buyers at the close. Warm weather , largo receipts nnd nn In crease in the visible supply weakened corn. The government report was also a disap pointment to the bulls , ns It showed less reduction In the condition of the crop than liad been anticipated. At the start there was a general disposition to sell nut long property , and such was the Inclination manifested more or less throughout the Hcsslnn. The pit sentiment was very bear ish , and there were few buyers on hand to take the offerings. As a result a feeling nf extreme depression settled over the market. Buying by shorts to secure profits when prices rested at bottom figures oc casioned slight rallies , but the underlying tendency ranged downward. December opened Hfi5-Sc lower at 294Jf29 7-Sc , roses to , " .0c , back again to 29ft@29 7-Sc and closed nt 30o sellers. Oats held firm under a good demand for September from shippers. Trade was ac tive , speculation being of u more general character. May began unchanged to 1-Sc down nt 21ic , declined to 21 5-8c , then rose to 217-8tJ22c , the closing price. Provisions were firm on an excellent cash < lcmiind , together with heavy buying of lard and ribs. December pork opened 5c lower at $ S.50 , sold tip to $8.6214 , then rc- ncted to $8.55 , the closing figure. The range In bird nnd rigs was narrow.

There was n con tinuation of apparently urgent liquidation on the Stock Exchange this morning , caused by covering of short stocks which speedily wiped out the recoveries of Sat urday nnd carried prices sharply below the lowest level of last Friday for nearly all standard stocks. But the pressure of liquidation seemed to be relieved by noon and there was u disposition to pick up stocks quietly and to accord support to weak spots , notably St. Paul. The deal ings In odd lots In some of the standard dividend payers also became quite a leu- ture , Indicating quite u supply of money for Investment , notwithstanding the stilt- ness of thu local call money market. Weak ness In some of the. industrial specialties caused the market to fall oft tiealn befora the close , but last prices of railroads went In many cases nt sharp reverses from the lowest. Novel thcU'Hs marked net losses re sulted from the day's trading , owing to the severity of the pressure early In the da- . 'ihero was continued apprehension over the outlook for money , but th" government crop report nnd thu snowstorms In the west were also material factors.'The crop report , though bearish on the corn crop as a. whole , showed sharp deterioration for Kansas , Nebraska and Iowa. This , coupled with the snowstorms In the corn belt , was very rlctiriy Indicated In thu weakness Tif Rock Island , Burlington and Union Pacific. There was no actual development to ac count for a decline of ait > rcliension over the money market outlook and how far this feeling was connected with a reported confcrenco of leading bankers Is not cer tain. There was u growth of a conviction that there was a largo supply of money at least outside of New York. Money rates are easy at Interior points and there is oven buying * of commercial paper In thu New York market by western banks. H is qultn possible also that a larger amount of the new government 3s might bo made available ' able both for purposes of circulation and as security for government deposits In the banks than has been the casa In the event of any real stringency of money. Neverthe less the drain of cash from the banks to the subtreasury on account of subscrip tions to the loan continues and the stib- I treasury was even a creditor at the clearIng - ) Ing house today on account of an accumu- ' latlon of drafts from interior depository banks in which government deposits have exceeded their security by reason of heavy Internal revenue collections. There were rumors all day of engagements of gold for Import , but none of these were confirmed. The easier tone of the money market and the consequent recovery In the stock mar ket were apparently duo to other causes. The largo foreign demand for wheat and the evidence of underlying strength In the wheat market. In tne. face of the bear'.nh government crop report , had some Influ ence In the stock market. The bond market was dull and showed some weakness In sympathy with slocks. Total sales , $1,670,000. U. S. 2s advanced 14 nnd the 4s registered Vt In the bid prices. The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says : The stock markets hero were generally dull on this yeiir's Austrian crop , the re port of French occupation of Fashodu. and on a telegram stating that the Chilean government had called out 5,000 men of the national guard. The collapse of Arg3ntlne stocks was particularly marked , Consols also were slower. Americans opened flat , turned weaker on selling here and closed at about the lowest. Later business was assisted by heavy purchases by Paris and the Cape. Gold was In very strong demand at 7s IVfcd. New York Is buying largely in Purls and it Is believed that gold may be withdrawn irom the Bank of England to morrow for shipment to New \ork , but nothing Is known definitely.

The most of the cattle here were westerns , as Is to bo expected , nnd a very largo proportion of them feeders. Among thu offerings of beef cattle there was quite a sprinkling of cornfeds , about twenty loads , but none of them were very choice. They sold at last week's prices and \vere largely of thu kind that Is bringing $4.7005.00. The demand was good and the most of the cornfeds changed hands early In the morning. There was a very liberal supply of western grass beef , which went to local packers at the tame prices that prevailed at the close of last week. There was a steady fall of rain nil the morning and It was rather late before operators got down to business , so that the whole fore noon was consumed before n clearance was effected. There were quite n good many cows and heifers In the yards , there being ten loads of westerns In one bunch. Practically everything on sale was off from grass. The feeder market was reasonably active , due to the very good demand. The largo shipments to the country at the close of last week cleared up all the surplus stock In the yards , and as speculators were anticipating another good week they were all anxious for fresh supplies and were accordingly good buyers. The prices paid were not quotnbly different from the close of last week. Representative sales : STEER& . No. Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

In some cases sheep sold at prices that looked steady , but the general market was weak to a dime lower on mutton grades. There was a good deal of sorting to bo done and It was rather late before much business was transacted. Of the number reported In there were five loads consigned through and nlnq loads were direct to packers , so that the actual offerings on the market were not so very large. Quite a good many stackers and feeders were Included among the receipts. The de mand for that kind of stuff continues very good anil there were buyers for everything on the market , but nwlng to the easier feeling on mutton grades the tendency of buyers was to try and force a slight re duction In values and their bids were gen erally lower.

"The wedding ring Is made of gold of the purest quality , signifying how noble and durable Is our affection , " writes Frank H. Vlzetelly of "Tho Romance of the Finger Ring" In the Woman's Home Companion. "Next , In form the ring Is round , a symbol of ct'crnlty , implying that our regard shall bo without end. Why is this golden circlet worn on the third finger of the left hand ? Because among the ancients It was thought that there was a vein In that finger that came directly from the heart , and the cus tom has survived the ages and come down to us from remote antiquity. Rut there are other reasons why It should be worn on this finger : Uecauso , being a finger least used , It may bo least ) subject to bo worn out , and because Its distinct purpose is that It Is to be the visible , lasting token of a r.olemn covenant which must never l > c forgotten. It has been suggested , also , that llie form , being round and without end , Imports that mutual love shall flow from one to the other , as In a circle , and that continually and forever. "Sometimes wedding rings were of gemel pattern , and occasionally bctrot'lmt rings were broken In two , one-half of which was retained by each party BO that on the mar riage day the pieces may bo joined. According to Rev. Charles Whcatley , the commentator on the Book of Common Pray ers , the reason why a ring was delected an a pledge In preference to any other thing was because among the ancients rings were used as seals. With them all valuable g6ods were staled , and all Important document ! ) were signed ; thus the delivery of a ring became the sign of highest trust and clos est friendship. Consequent , It was but natural that a ring should be selected to symbolize the admission of a wlfo to her husband's counsels , and signify that thence forth she shared his honor and estate. * According to Sclden , the wedding ring came Into use among the Jews after they found It had been adopted by other races. Some authorities claim that It was given at one time Instead of dowry. The English-speaking races trace the use of the plain gold band as a pledge of wedlock to traditionary practice of the Saxons.
