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.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow : Wheat ,
400 cars ; corn. 1,050 cars ; oats , E40 cars ;
liogs , 18,000 head.

CorerliiK of Short Stookn AVIpcn Itc-
coverjof Nntiirdny.
NEW YORK , Sept. 12. 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

day were weak , owing to fears of complica
tions with Great Britain arising out of the
reported occupation of Fnshoda on the Nlln

NEW YORK. Sept. 12.-Tho cotton mar
ket , after opening steady at n decline of 3
points , rallied unite sharply and advanced
, r > to G points. The rise was characterized
by liquidation , but the undertone was quite
Ili-m throughout. At the close prices
showed a net advance of 2 points to tin-
changed prices , and the tone of the market
was quiet. The decline at the opening was
followed by a falling off. The advance
orlglnaled in a better class of cables. ' 1 ho
fact that the foreign spinners are again
taking 12,000 bales spot cotton dally , sus
tained prices and .gave considerable sup
port , in connection'with the conflicting ad
vices which had a bullish appearance.
Fears from falling temperature In the cot
ton belt had a strengthening feeling , nnd
all was based on nn improvement In de
mand for cloths , the low price of cotton
lending manufacturers to anticipate their
wants In the expectation of a general busi

NEW YORK , Sept. 12. Dry goods trading
showed fuir results In jobbers and little
change from normal condition In the pri
mary market. Buyers are plentiful In the
city nnd their operations are still on a
small scale. With the week's opening came
mull orders nnd orders for cotton goods ,
which brought the dally average tb a fairly
satisfactory point. Woolen goods are still
very weak and buyers seem to be making
no effort to Hcciini goods. The reduction
In Washington clays announced last week
has had only a slight effect on the trading ,
though there has been a somewhat In
creased activity manifested In some quar
ters. Pleco cloths are still quoted at
2 1-lGc , with nothing but spot steadily ob
tainable. Other staple cottons are quiet.
Prints of all sorts are quiet. Blrmlnchams
are still strong and active.

CATTLE Today's vcattli > market was
Just about steady on all kinds as compared
with the close cf last week , and the market
\vas rather devoid of now features of Im
portance. 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 :

SHEEP Thn barn was full of sheep and
lambs of all kinds this morning , but lambs
wore In the majority. 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. "
