CHICAGO , Sept. 19. Heavy receipts and a
largo Increase In the visible supply had a
depressing effect on wheat today and re
sulted In a decline of about ' , { .0 In both the
September and December options. Corn was
heavy with wheat and declined > ,4c. Sep
tember closed practically unchanged after
nn exceptionally dull season. Provisions
wore weak throughout and closed Cc to ISV&c
lowor.
Wheat exhibited some hesitancy during
the flrat half hour's trading. Receipts In
the northwest were exceptionally heavy ,
Minneapolis and Duluth reporting 1,993 cars ,
against 1,443 last week and 1,313 a year ago ,
und though the crowd was In a measure pre
pared for this , yet enough liquidation and
Bhort selling resulted to cause prices to
Bug for a time. December , which opened
unchanged at 62C-8062c. declined to 62',4c.
This ohow of weakness was only temporary ,
however. Notwithstanding the ticavy northwest -
west rocelptB , prices nt Dulutli , especially
for cash wheat , wcro firm anil this fact
caused a bullish feeling to gradually de
velop. Ucsldcs the flrmncBS of the northern
market prices hero wcro helped to a cer
tain extent by the small Russian shipments ,
1,200,000 bushels , and the receipt both here
and at New York of numerous foreign buy
ing orders. Many of tbo early sellers turned
buyers , and in the absence of any particular
veiling pressure December soon recovered
Its early loss , advancing to 62 7-8c before
the demand was satisfied. For some time
after that price was reached the market
ruled very duil , but was steady until after
the visible supply statement was completed.
This showed an Increase of 1,782,000
bushels , making the total 10,188.000 bushels ,
compared with 17,140,000 bushels a year ago.
The figures were a distinct disappointment
to bull traders , as an Increase of not ever
fiOO.OOO bushels was looked for , and the
market was affected at once. Under the
liquidation that resulted the prlco for De
cember sagged to B2Uc. After noon the
market became very dull again and con
tinued so until the close. The price In the
tnoantlmo dropped to 62c for Home time. A
llttlo better feeling developed late In the
session and December recovered to 62c ,
which was the closing price. Not much was
done In September. The price ranged be
tween 65',4c ' and 04o and closed at the low
point.
Corn was dull and Inclined for the most
part to follow wheat. It was firm early ,
duo partly to light receipts , 521 cars , but
when wheat turned weak corn did likewise.
Shipping demand was moderate. The visible
Increase was 1,887,000 bushels , somewhat
moro than expected. December ranged from
20c to 29Vic and closed < /ic lower nt
Oats were very dull. Considering the
weakness of other grain markets , however ,
oats held very steady. There was a very
good demand. The market was uninterest
ing throughout , trading being almost en
tirely of a light scalping nature. May
ranged from 22'Ac. to 22 1-Sc and closed a
uliado lower at the latter figure. September
and December showed no change.
The provision market was weak from the
ptnrt. and substantial declines took place ,
duo principally to the yellow fever reports
from the south. The speculative market
was moderately active but cash trade was
light. Hog receipts at all points were lib-
oral. December pork closed 12'/ie lower nt
$8.20 ; December lard , 7 > ,4c lower at $4.72 % ®
4.75 ; January ribs , 2'/ic lower at $1.70.
Estimated receipts Tuesday : Wheat , 315
cars ; corn , 960 cars ; oats , C50 cars ; hogs ,
19,000 head.
The lending futures ranged as follows :

NEW YORK , Sept. 19.-Tho stock market
started off this morning as though It had
shaken oft the Incubus of the recent tight
money scare , but the market weakness of
Sugar , which niado up two-fifths of the
total transactions , unsettled the tone early
and carried prices below Saturday's level.
The decline was steady and qulto general
for the remainder of the day. Evidently
last week's sharp recovtry was the result
of extensive covering of short lines by Hpec-
ulators and the general speculative public
Is now prepared to pause and take breath
to study how far the last oscillation of the
market has brought prices to the true level
of value.
It Is more and more evident that the late
apprehension over ti squeeze In money was
largely HrtltloUH. How far the cITorts to
manipulate the money rnto wtro Intluenced
by the natural desire of money lenders to
obtain better rates and how far by a pur
pose to effect a reaction In the stock market
cannot be dellnltcly ascertained , but It
might be ascertained that very powerful
llnanclal Interest ? which have u dominating
voice In the control of vast surplus capital
had taken their prollts In stocks and were
willing to see a reaction. It l obvious ,
however , that their motive In taking prollts
must have been a conviction that prices
were equal to or In excess of their true
value. The problem of today's speculator
Is whether the reaction has carried prices
below their value or whether conditions
have so far changed as to have Increased
their value.
The monthly report of the treasury bu
reau of statistics just Issued throws lighten
on the money question. The amount of cir
culation , after deducting such sums in the
treasury August 1 , was $162,727,205 greater
than one year before. Saturday's treasury
statements showed that the cash balance
In the treasury had Increased since that
time n little over $ G3,000,000. This would
leave an Increased circulation for the year
of about $100.0110,000 , not counting the Im
ports of gold and the Increase In bank cir
culation since August 1. Neither does this
take account of the large Increase in the
last few weeks of government deposits with
the banks. There Is room there for a
largely Increased use of money In the coun
try , In spite of the treasury's absorption
by the loan. The actual surplus reserve of
New York banks , although reduced to loss
than $5,000.000 , also requires some qualify
ing considerations. For one thing the gov
ernment deposits are secured by govern
ment bonds , thus obviating the nco ! > slty of
actual cash reserves to secure them. Some
of these do not represent their government
deposits at all In making out clearance
statements. Furthermore , the surplus re
ported Is above the 23 per cent requirement ,
although the state banks are required by
law to maintain only 13 per cent of reserve.
These facts explain why the measures of
relief offered by the Treaniry department
have not been availed of.
Bonds were dull , but yielded slightly In
the late trading. Total sales , 201 , 19S shares.
The Evening Post's London financial ca
blegram says : The stock market hero
opened good today on the more cheerful
political outlook as represented In thi > mornIng -
Ing papers and bettor prices In Paris , but
there was a sharp reaction later on dull
ness In the Paris bourse and on the chilled
optimism hero and prices closed generally
dull. The decline was most marked In such
Kalllr specialties as were dealt In In Paris.
Consols were extremely dull , due to a little

CATTLE Receipts today showed up fairly
well on paper , but thuro was really very
little on sale and buyers were complaining
of the meager offerings. This was duo In
part to the fact that eighteen loads wcro
consigned direct to a packer and wcro not
offered for sale , and In part to the addi
tional fact that of the cattle on sale a
good many wcro undesirable and of the
kind that would not attract much attention.
The market as a whole was In very satis
factory condition and about everything on
snlo found nn early buyer.
The supply of beef steers consisted of
about sixteen loads of cornfcil steers , which
sold largely at $4.90(35.15 ( , which was fully
steady to strong. The trade on that kind
was active and the offerings were not long
In changing hands. Thcro was also n
sprinkling of western grassers that were
good enough for beef and which sold at
steady to strong prices.
Cows and heifers brought about last
week's prices and the few loads hero sold
early. Dulls and stags were In light sup
ply and steady. It la remarked by buyers
that there are not nearly BO many bulls
coming forward this year as usual and the
same Is true of veal calves. In past sea
sons It has been nothing unusual to receive
carloads of veals , but this season none have
been noted and the supply has been limited
to a few scattering bead , some days none
being reported In.
The feeder market was Just about steady ,
though the most desirable kinds may have
sold a llttlo stronger than they did on Fri
day and Saturday , as la very apt to bo the
case on the same kind of a market , hold
ers at the close of the week being Inclined
to shade prices rather than carry cattle
over. Common and medium grades were
slow and If anything weak. Just as they
were at the close of last week. Representa

up very \\ell llila morning on paper , but
part of them were consigned direct to | ck-

actual supply on sale was by no means so
very large. The market was entirely ictls-
