CHICAGO. Sopt. IS. The addition of over
8XWO.OOO bu. to the visible supply of wheat
ovorHhadowcd In Influence everything clso
today find caused a decline of ? sOV4c. Corn
and o < it3 were nrm , corn closing unchanged
end oats US-He higher. Provisions closed
without material change.
Wh it oponcd nt an advance of MSHiiC .
from Saturday's closing price , with a good
Bcnoral demand at these ngures. The cause 1
of the advance was the strength of cables
en account of the critical South African
nltuatlon and some rather liberal covering
hy shorts was done during the flrst halt
hour's trading. The demand was readily
hujiplled , but though plenty of bearish news
iwun at hand In regard to crop movement
and seeding conditions the market held up
well until near the noon hour. After the
flrst rush of buyers had been accommo
dated trading became dull and prices kept
within a narrow range , December easing
oft slightly from opening figures. Septem
ber In the meantime was decidedly strong
on a narrow nmotint of trading. very
Jlttle was offered for sale and elevator
noople were moderate bidders , prices In
consequence advancing sharply early. Be
fore noon December began to weaken ,
partly on account of the we.ikncM In Wall
fitreet , but principally on the indentions of
nn enormous Increase In the visible the
flgurod of which were finally put nt 3lil.-
Oi ) bu. The heavy selling was done by
one flrm supposml to be In the way of
liquidation of a long line. Most of the
wheat wan offered at under 71c for Decem
ber. It was estimated that fully 3,000.000 )
bu. was disposal of by this flrm and It 1
Imrt considerable effect on the market. :
General raino were reported throughout
the west and southwest and conditions
were reported aa now favorable for fall
needing. Primary receipts were heavy.
1.CSR.OOO bu. . compared with 1,489,000 bu. a
year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts
w-ro 1,452 COTS , against 1,236 last week and I
1,993 a year ago. Chicago receipts were -17
cars S3 of contract grade. Atlantic port
clearance of wheat and flour amounted to
SS4 000 bu. A better cash demand de
veloped on Uio break and CO loads were rc-
norted worked for export at the. seaboard ,
with 100,000 bu. sold here. The break in
December brought more liberal offerings of
enptomtoer and that option also declined.
The market closed weak all around. De
cember opened at 71@lJ4e. It declined to
70M07OTHC and closed % c lower nt iO-c.
September ranged from 71c to 714c ; and
closed % o lower at 70c ,
Corn was quiet and steady. Shorts were
trooJ buyers of September early In the day ,
affected by Uio strength of wheat , and ue-
comibor wtis also In fair demand. Sllgnt
advances were ultimately lost. Receipts
boavy. 1.216 cars , and an Increase of 490,000
tra. In the visible was reported. The cash
rtemand continued good. December ranged
from 2S ic to 2ST429c and closed unchanged
at S2 ic , selling as high as,33Hc.
Oats wna flrm and fairly active. There
was a largo cash demand , at le-ast 2uO,000
ibuTbelns worked all rail. Shorts were
good buyers of both September and De
cember and prices ruled slightly higher all
nround. Receipt- were 541 cars. December
ranged from 21VS6214c to 21 o and closed
Ho higher at 21 j21&c. , September closed
The rade.ain" provisions was unimportant.

NEW YORK , Sept. 18. There waa a fur-
ther ilraivtlo liquidation of fipociilattve ac-
counts on the Stock exchange In response
to the continued contraction of credits by
the banku , which entered upon a struggle
to maintain their reservf * within the legal
limit. Since Friday more than encugh
money has gone from the t uiks to the stib-
treasury and the Interior to wlpo out the
Insignificant surplus shown by Saturday's
bunk Htatenicnt. Aa only a half hour wo *
afforded after the appearance of the utatr-
ment on Saturday for the liquidation of ao-
counts a very large vuluine of Belling or
ders from all quarters hail accumulated In
brokers' hands when the market opened
today. Prices took a downward plunge on
opHilng transactions throughout the list.
The profeadonal traders * were very bold on
the bear s ! dn and helixxl on the decline uu
large tales for ehort account ,
T-lie highly spoculattvo Indu-trlal special'
ties allowed the moat serious lodsva , the
opening tale aliowiiif anywhere from 2 to
over 5 points clipped from Saturday's lit-t
prlcea for pretty much all of the active
Industrials. The New York munlo'pal '
stacks , Sugar , Tobacco , the Iron and steel
stocks and the so-called Flower stocks , as
a group , led In the dellne. Rock Island ,
as a member of the latter group , fell tt',4 '
points. Declines In the railroads otherwise
were not ns violent aa In the apoclaltiM ,
but extended very irentirully between l unit
2 polnto. Thu BeJUng waa In thousand
eharu lots and upwards .n ' practically all
stocks dealt in in the flrst few minutes.
The hears TVWO somewhat daz < nl by thflr
own succf-s and almost ImmMliatcly pro
ceeded to toke quick profits by buying to
cover ehorts. Ralllcx of S to 3 points re-
tfulted In mnny stocks. Hut her re noon
pressure wag renewed , when n il tig , of
Brooklyn Rapid Transit was poured upon
the market. The New YorK traction nnd
g s stocks moved In close sympathy.
Brooklyn Rapid Trnnslt dropped an tx-
tremc D'.i ' points , Metropolitan fi 4 polnis ,
Consolidated Uas 7 points , Manhattan 3 > i
po'lntiTh'.nl ' Avenue 47j points and Br.i k-
lyn Union Gns 6 points. The lowest prices
of the day g i6raily were touched on tnla
movement. St. Paul extending Its loss to ;
tpoints. .
I The very violence of the movement In
I vited BOino recovery nnd coon after I
o'clock pr.cea generally had turn d upward.
! The evident relaxation of the pressure to
| liquidate 1 warned the bears that tiuy a < l
oversold the market and the buying demand -
mand became rather urgent. Prices of the
flpt-clalties recovered from 2 to over 4 points.
' The nbiorptlon of railroad stocks became
quite conspicuous , New York Central espe
cially moving up 3H points from the .ow-
est and many others rallying from 1 to 2
points. Slight gains over Saturday's prices
were recorded for New York Central , AtchIson -
Ison 1 preferred. BurJuKton , Union Paclllo
preferred , Reading flrst preferred , North
western nnd I > ackawanna. Best prices
were not maintained nnd the market c.osed
easy.
The late rally In prices was ass'.Ftcd by
nn oa-nlng of the rate for call money to 7
per cent. After ruling at 10 IKT cent a
sharp drop of H per cent in the actual
rates for demand sterling and cable transfer -
fer nnd the marking down of posted rnt s
Mr per cent nlso had nn Influence In re-
i llevlng the strain on the stock market. Ru
! mors were circulated of a conference of
. bankers I to take measures looking to the
relief of the money market by an Increass
of circulation , but these -were ilenu-d and
bnnkcm eefined free from anxiety over the
outlook. Only one bank took out addi
tional t circulation , according to reports from
Washington , and that t& the extent of only
about J200.0W. Since the first of the montii
the New York banks hive Increased their
circulation loss th.in $1.000.000.
London sold heavily In t'hls ' market on nc-
i count of the Transvaal crisis to too ex
tent of about 40.000 shares and no gold
i movement from that quarter seems likely ; ,
for the Immediate future. The October .
coupons of United Stairs 4 per cent bonds
of 1007 were payable today at the sub-
tronsury and some slight relief was af ,
forded to tihc money market by that means.
No roUaulp estimate Is possible of the ex ;
' tent to which loam were liquidated today , .
but Chat repayment * to the banks were
very heavy Is the testimony of all authori ,
ties on the subject. .
Bonds were wait in sympathy with
stocks and liquidation of the speculative
Issues were on n Inrce scale. ' Total sales ,

CATTLE AU records ror single day's
receipt * at South Omaha were broken to
day. Until today October 4 , 1S98 , Wig the
big day , when 322 care were reported In. or
S.bie head , but that number was exoooded
by a very comfortable margin by today a
run , as will be noted from t'fte ' table of re
ceipts above.
Almost ail the cattle hero were rangers ,
about tlfty loads of grass beef , sixty loads
of cows and heifers , ten to twenty loads of
cornfeds and the balance s.tockers and
feeders.
The offerings of cornfed cattle bedng light
and the demand good the market on that
kind was steady. Good grass beef also soid
in about the same notches as last week , one
bunch of big , heavy cattle going as high
as $5.25. The receipts , however , wore so
large and Chicago did not report any too
good a market , that buyers showed some
disposition to bear 'the market a little where
they could.
The offerings of cows and heifers were the
largest of the season and buyers took advantAge -
vantAge of the situation to take off as a
rule lOc on the general run of oow stuff.
There were so many here that In spite of
the fact tlin-t the demand was of very fair
proportions It was late before a good many
cattle were even shown.
As the most of the cattle on sale were
stockers and feeders that branch of the
trade absorbed a good share of the at
tention. 'It h ( hardly necessary to remark
that all kinds were lower , au that might be
inferred from the size of the receipts. The
general run of pretty decent cattle , even
w'hiere they had some weight , sold lOc and
even 15c lower , while common kinds were
practically unsalable all the morning.
Buyers went around the yards nnd llrst
picked up the choice heavy cattle , and until
they were disposed of they would not look
at anything , light weight or of. Inferior
quality. "Wo want good heavy cattle , " wns
what all of them wore saying. Yearlings ,
even when right good , were also very Blow
and lower. Ropreseu/UiUve / sales !

HOGS Only th1rty-elx cars of hogs were
reported in the yards tills morning , re
ceipts txring lisrht as usual on the flrst day
of the week. The fact of the light receipts ,
however , did not help matters any , as the
advices from other selling points were
lower , while a still further bear Influence
was the expectation of large receipts for
Tueaiay. The result wae that the market
oi > ened 2V4c lower and flow and draggy at
the decline. In some cases sellers reported
that they had to take off 5c. The big
packers seemed to feel that there were not
enough hero to bother with , and the mornIng -
Ing was well advanced before a clearance
was effected In s > plte of the fact that there
were so few loads on tale.
The heavy hogs sold largely at J4.30.g )
4.32V4 , mixed loads at $4.32j > 1.35 and the light
loads at H.SS'iN.ST'/i. There did not appear
to be any good light loads in the yards.
It vriU be noted from the table of average
prices at head of column that the present
week Plarts out with the market jtjst about
f > o higher than the market was at the be
ginning of last week and about 12'Ac higher
than two weeks agt > . Representative sales :

SHEEP Only fourteen loads , all told 1.
were reported In the yards , and as there
was a good buying demand the offerings
were all taken early In the morning. Owing
to the liifht receipts and active demand
values were stronger all around and an a
rule a. peed IBc higher. A omall bunch of
native lambs sold at JG.EO and westerns at
JCOO. Buyers claimed that they boueht Ju t
as good lambs the low dnyji last week at
J4.7fiAs high a $4.a3 vra paid for Hhoep
-which looked eon id < rably hlglier ,
The supply of feeders waj too miall to
talk about , but It Is "i'o to say t'hwe is
no immediate dantjnr of there beinur any '
too many for pome lime to com , as orders \
are coming in freely nnd there aru a good l
many more buyers than whoop.
