Corn Movement.
CHICAGO , Sept , 23. Deferred futures In
nil the grain markets were strong today
nnd closed nt advances. A good export da-
mand for wheat and constantly decreasing
receipts formed the foundation of the wheat
strength. Trade was broad and general In
most markets. September wheat advanced
J/ic , December ' , ic and May e. September
corn declined ! 4o on heavy selling by longs ,
but December advanced He. September oats
declined Vic and December advanced a
ehade. Provisions were steady , but closed
unchanged to a shade lower.
Liverpool played a prominent part In In
fluencing the early tone of wheat trading.
That market opened lower , but quickly re
covered and at the opening here showed
good advances. This was regarded us indi
cating the seriousness of the Transvaal sit
uation. Early Indications also pointed to
largo clearances for the day. Outside buyIng -
Ing was quite heavy at the opening. Now
York houses being especially prominent.
The opening In December was at (3 * } i3)ic ) ,
un advance of V < 3c over yesterday 8 cloae.
This was at call price and for a time ihe
market met heavy selling against those
jirlvllegeft. A good deal of general prollt-
tnklng wa also done nnd a decline In De
cember to 73c took place , but before U
o'clock the market had again become strong ,
with heavy and general buying. 'Ihe con
tinual falling off In receipts at prominent
receiving points attracted more attention ,
nnd the belief was more general that the
winter wheat supplies from now on would
bo much lighter. New York nnd St. Louis
at the same time reported numerous acceptances
' offers.
ceptances of yesterday's cabled
JJcst prices wore obtained In the last hour
of trading. The market during that time
exhibited a good deal of nervousnessi and
the price changed r.ipldly , though within a
narrow range. Realizing wan heavy , but
on all slight breaks the market received
substantial support and , though best prices
wore not maintained , the close was at a
substantial advance. A good Improvement
In the demand for Hour was reported and
this liad an Inlluence on speculative trad-
Ing. The market at the close showed a
marked growth of bull sentiment among
local traders and trading tnrougout showed
the effects of Increased outside Interest. A
bull feature was the falling oft of 800.000 bu.
In primary receipts In the last four days.
Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 974
cars , against 884 last week and 1,190 a year
ogo. Chicago receipts worn 123 cars , two
of contract grade. The lightness of local
receipts was a factor In the early strength.
Total primary receipts were 1,122,000 bu. ,
ngalnst I.BJC.UOO bu. a year ago. Atlantic
jiort clearances of wheat and Hour amounted
to 841,000 bu. The seaboard reported twenty-
three loads for export. December advanced
to 74 c and reacted to 73c. where It closed.
Considerable trading was donu In May , and
that future developed more strength than
nnythlng else on the lloor. It ranged from
7GJ475o to 7Cc nnd closed % c higher at
Corn was fairly active and Irregular.
There was heavy liquidation of September
by the Interests supposed to be most promi
nent on the long side , and this Influenced
the market all day. Deferred futures , In
which trading was mostly of a scalping na
ture , were weak for a time In sympathy ,
but later recovered on covering by Bhorts
nnd closed steady. Receipts were 1,139 cars.
The seaboard reported eighty loads taken
for export. December ranged from 29lc to
SO o and closed Uu higher at SO'/fcc. Sep
tember ranged from 33c to 32i4o and closed
% c lower nt 32'/tc.
Oats renected the action of corn , Septem
ber being weak on moderate liquidation , in
Bplto of small receipts , while deferred fu
tures were steady. Trading wns small and
mostly of a scalping nature. The cash de
mand was rather slow. Receipts were 231
December ranged from 22Jc : } to 22Tx ©
UUl D. 4/clllll uci if lbl .v. * * /4\
2.1o and closed a shade higher at ,
September closed Uc lower at 22V4c.
Provisions wore firm and In good demand.
The chief Inlluence was the heavy cash de
mand and fair advances were scored during
the morning on buying by local operators
nnd exporters. Later heavy selling by
nackera caused a reaction , but the market
closed steady at slight changes. At the
close January pork was 2'/4o lower at $9.80 ,
January lard unchanged at J5.62U and Janu
ary ribs a shade lower at J5.12V4.

the banks to meet the demand for the
October settlement. The showing of the
bank statement nnd the continued tight
ness of money were offset by the addi
tional engagements of gold for Import
and the drop In the rates for sterling exchange -
change to very near the regular Import
I'olnt. ' The settlement sentiment on the
Stock exchange was that further relief to
the money market from this source Is
now available and that n largo movement
of gold Is now fairly Inaugurated. No
pressure of liquidation was manifest nnd
present holders of stock evidently feel
themselves strong enough to awnlt a
more favorable turn ot affairs. The con
fidence in further gold Imports was em
phasized by the failure of the Bank of
England to Increase Us ofTlclal discount
rate , notwithstanding the fact that the
principal demand for money In London is
now thrown upon the central Institution
by reason of the higher prevailing pri
vate rnto of discount. A fall In sterling
exchange nt Berlin In response to the
former discounts there suggested addi
tional pressure on London for gold from
that source nlone.
With gold moving to Now York some
measure of protection bv the bank at nn

try gave no evidence of a relaxation of
the prcssuro upon New York for funds ,
Now York exchange at interior polnti
tending rather downwards. Some relief Is
anticipated next week from dividend nnd
Interest disbursements nnd from the
money to bo left In this city by visitors
to the Dewey celebration.
Except for a recovery of 3V4 In Ten
nessee Coal gains of 1 nnd 2 and In the
St. Louis Southwestern stocks nnd wide
movements In a few usually Inactive
stocks , today's market was without notn-
blo incident. The total dealings fell to
the level of the midsummer period of
dullness. Dealings In bonds wore on 'a
small scale and price changes were
mixed. Total sales , par value , $1,325,000.
United States new 4s declined % In the
bid price. The elimination of two days
from the business week nnd the prospect
of dullness next week consequent upon
the yacht races accentuated the specula
tive stagnation which always follows a
period of unusual activity In the stock
market and limited the transactions of
the last four days.
The hope Is expressed that the dividend
and Interest disbursements next week
may servo to relieve somewhat the local
presure upon the money market. Many
widely varying estimates are heard also
of the effect of expenditures by Dewey
day visitors on the local money supply.
But as to the main causes of the deple
tion of banking reserves. It is manifest
that the needs of the Interior for money
to move the crops nro not yet appeased.
Neither Is any cessation of the absorption
of money by the treasury In sight as the
government's expenditures are now run
ning well under receipts. The August
surplus will apparently bo doubled In
September and the July deficit Is more
than wiped out , leaving a growing sur
plus as the fiscal year progresses.
There has been constant demand for all
the gold certificates which have been
available nt the New York subtreasury.
But as these simply served to convert the
gold of New York banks into a form
more desired by the depositors , their dis
tribution has augmented rather than re
lieved the drain on New York banks.
Many of the clearing house Institutions
started the week with their cash reserves
under the legal limit and with additional
has been
demands upon them there
further calling of loans. The stook market
has been unprepared to move upwards
ket
wards under the circumstances. But It
signs of resistance to a decide
hag shown
cide also which made the bears wary of
nc stocks. It Is evident that stocks
much less vulnerable to attack and
are
weak speculative holdings on margin
that
have been

CATTLE There were enough cattle hero
when the trains were all In , but the trouble
was that some of them were late in getting
to the yards. The market as a whole was
very alow and backward and It was late
before very much business was transacted
and later than usual before anything like
a clearance was effected.
Only ten or a dozen loads of cornfed cat
tle were In the yards this morning , nnd
while buyers were not particularly anxious
for them and the trade was slow and dull ,
values did not appear to txj yery much
changed. In fact , cornfed cattle have
shown very little change during the last
week or two. Some choice cornfed heifers
sold at t5.
The market on grass beef was Blow and
about like the weak close of yesterday. It
is safe 'to say that grass beef steers ore
now 25c lower than last week.
The market on cows and heifers was also
Blow and late In opening. The state of the
market may bo Imagined from the remark
of a buyer that ho had orders to buy them
lower or lot them alone. "With the buyers
feeling that way It le hardly neceesary to
add that the market was lower , unless It
might be on something very desirable.
Holders of feeders found It very difficult
to Interest buyers unless they had some
thing very desirable. Even when the cattle
were good , which was not often , as the
most of the offerings consisted of trashy
stuff , buyers were bidding lower and were
constantly bringing It to the attention of
sellers that It was a Thursday nnd that
the week was drawing to a close. The re
sult was a weak and dull market , with
values anywhere from 15c to S6c lower than
on Monday. Repreaentatlvo sales :

HOQS It was another day of large receipt !
of hogs , but the market , nevertheless , wnt
active at an advance of 6JJ10c. Packers oil
seemed to want hogs and a good many ol
them , even nt higher prices and Uicy got
right down to buslnces early In the mornIng -
Ing , so that the most of the early arrivals
changed hands in a very short time. There
were a few late trains which delayed mat
ters somewhat , so that a complete clear
ance was trot effected as early as might
otherwise have been the case. The close
wns a little easier.
The advance was the- most marked on the
heavy and mixed loads. Heavy hogs sold
very largely at Jl.40 .42',4. as against J4.305J
4.33 yesterday. Good mixed loads sold rlghl
around $4.45 , while yesterday a good many
of that kind went at $4,3534.3714. On. light
hogs the advance was not so marked ,
Lightweights went largely at $4.45 ( 1.60 , and
yesterday the same kind brought $1.40 4.45.
There were , however , more sales at the top
price , today than yesterday. Representative
sales :
were only nine fresh lends In night , with
twenty-six reported tack to arrive some
tlmo near midday. Under such circum
stances buyers all seemed Inclined to hold
off until the late trains arrived , which made
the market very clew and dull. Not enough
business was done In the morning to estab
lish quotations or make a market. The gen
eral feeling appeared to be rather weak.
Feeder ancep and lambs appear to be In
good demand and the market was without
much change on that kind.
