FIRST SCARE FAILS TO RUN IN SHORTS niK bear House Pate Oat a Llaej ef pteinter ill DMfmlirr That Helps to Depress Pricee. CHICAGO, Sept 18,-Oraln traders were walling for a sign today. Ruslnoss wa less active than It has been for many days. Supporting orders were not In evidence enough to hold up prices and with a bear ish report on the corn crop put out by a hailing statistical journal several protes slonals took advantage of the dullness to put a selling pressure on all markets. The weather connmon was an ciuij m i prices, particularly to corn, but depression soon followed the selling. At the close li.-.emU-r corn whs hVWc lower, Decem ber wheat Wq c down, September oats c lower and December oata "o off. Fro vlHlona closed 2htc to 2Vo down. Corn business was the most active of the unlet markets. At the start reports of iroeti and rain In much of the corn belt, with freealng temperatures tn Iowa ana .Nebraska, stiffened prices. The frost talk, however, failed to hold up prices. A prom inent Journal printed a report on the corn situation, t,aylng that the crop condition had been lowered a little by the frosts, but that practically all the big crop was made. A big Interest that Is short heavily in both September and December put some lorce on the selling side, with a result that prices broke In December. The local crowd took to the same position and on a few stop-loss orders the decline was aug mented. September held fairly steady on the poor condition of arrivals. There waa un Increase of receipts, cables were lower Hnd estimated, receipts for Tomorrow were liberal at S30 cars. St. Louis had reports of new corn to come to that market noon. It waa a pet theory that an attempt was made to sell a line, while the frost talk helped up prices. On the down-turn houses with country connections took some of the stuff and a small rally resulted. December opened a shade to up at 44c to 444c, dipped to 43lc, and closed weak, HfeiC off at 43Sc. Receipts were 360 cars, n of con tract grade. ... Wheat ruled dull, but held up fairly well under the pressure. Corn was an Influence In bringing about an easier tune, but the adverse weather for spring wheat move ment, the lighter northwestern receipts than were expected and a fair export busi ness mada the market stubborn. The mar ket In the main waa of a waiting character. Keports had fine weather for seeding of winter wheat. Cables were lower. Decem ber opened unchanged to 4c up at 6!ic to 6!"4,c, fell off to 64c and closed weaker, 4 toSc lower at 6M,S'c. ,ocal receipts were 244 cars, 10 of contract grade; Minne apolis and Dulutb reported 6fil cars, making a total for the three points of 896 cars, against 770 a week ago. This day last year was a holiday, consequently no compari sons can be made with statistics. Seaboard clearances In wheat and flour equaled 596, insj bushels. Primary receipts were 1,211,000 bushels. There was an early drive against Sep tember oats by elevators, which knocked lc off the price. Receipts were only fair at 17.1 cars, 16 of contract grade. But private houses put out 62 cars and sold against them. Tho weather worked against the grading of new stuff, but the corn break was a bearish Influence. Trade was small. September sold from 33c to 32c and closed weak, 4c off at 324c. December sold from 314c to a weak clone, 4c down at 30c. i'rovlslons were fairly active, especially In October pork. Hogs started out weaker unil later held only barely steady, and were a depressing Influence. There was an attempt to cover October pork, but some support was put under that commodity. I'rlcea rallied well for a time, but renewed selling resulted In final losses in every thing. October pork closed ic off at 118.20, January potk 74c lower at $14,974. Septem ber lard lfto off at $10.60. October lard 174c down at $8.60 and January lard 74c lower at 18.474. September ribs lost 224c at $10,724, October ribs at $9,074 and January ribs 24 at $7,874- Estlmuted receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 2.'5 cBrs, corn, 330 cars; oats, 150 cars; hogs, 11,000 head.

Reports of a plan were current with color o; official sanction for an exchange of St. Louis Southwestern preferred for a Mis souri Pacific bond. This was Interpreted by a speculative contingent as a forerun ner of the long expected uouia consotiua tlon plan. Missouri Pacific came Into the movement late in the day and took the leadership of the whole market. The return to New York or fresiueni uouia irom a tour of Inspection served to stimulate the ovement. Rock isiana maae a mucn larger gain on a small volume of dealings. The advance was based upon the decision of the Iowa state authorities that the Rock Island reorganization plan Is not in con travention of the Iowa law. There was ac tivity and strength In the curb market In contracts for the new Rock Island securi ties. The stocks of Independent steel coin- anles were strong as a rule because of the reports of the extraordinary pressure of orders for all grades of iron and steel products and a degree of activity In Dro- uction wnicn is umneo. oniy oy ine avau ble supply of material. The freezing weather In tho northwest was Ignored until the break in the corn and wheat markets, which helped to stiffen stocks. The com parative heaviness of some of tho Mouthern railroads may have been due to tne per sistent unfavorable reports from the cot ton crop, ine money outlook continuea the principal topic, of discussion In the financial district. There was no radical change In the situation today. An addi tional engagement or x.-tfJU,uoo Australian gold was announced to arrive several weeks hence. The banks continuea to lose to tne ubtreasury. notwithstanding the disburse ment by that institution on account of Oc tober government Interest, the customs col lections and tho deposits for transfer to the Interior serving to more than offset the In terest payments. However, the loss to the subtreasury since Friday has reached only $l,i8,UtiO, compared with $4,725,000 for the same time last week. While the decline is thus reduced. It will be seen that nothing of the needed recuperation of the banks' re serves has been afforded by the treasury s measure of relief. The fact that the Bank of England refrained from advancing lis discount rate today was given a favorable interpretation. But sterling exchange here ccntinued to harden to a full cent above he low level of the week, carrying ex change well away from the gold Import point, ine prices. 01 gold in tne ixmdon market was advanced and something, over $1,000,000 was withdrawn from the Bunk of England for shipment to points other than than New York. It Is evident that the quiet money market In New York Is due In no small part to the constraint upon the spec ulation at the Stock exchange.

Fu tures opened steady, with prices unchanged to 5 points lower, this being an Indifferent response to weak cables and failure of the predicted cold wave to reach the western belt. In fact, the latter factor appeared to be totally unfounded, for the early weather chart gave mild temperatures pretty much over the entire western portion of the I'nlted States. Scattered showers are re ported In the central. and eastern portion of the country, said by private telegrams to be ravoraoie to tne late crop. Alter a lengthy period of wavering the whole mar ket rallied toward midday and in the early afternoon gained tremendous upward head way on a bad share of prominent Phila delphia, southern and foreign shorts. The bull leaders made the most of this stam pede and rushed January up to 8.80c, other options following at their normal differ ences. The commission house and room longs sold out In the first hour In expecta tion of a slump later on, which new ven tures could be. made to advantage. Specula tion In a feverish way was very active and general. The Liverpool market waa weak and Irregular all day, closing at about the bottom. Belief that a stampede . of the shorts there will occur tomorrow caused local traders near the close to take the bull side.

The way things look now this will be a record-breaking week. The record so far Is held by the week ending October 81, 1901, when 39,399 head of cattle arrived, and, as will be seen from the table below, the supply so far this week Is nesrly up to that mark, and unless the supply Is ex tremely small on Friday the record will be broken by a good margin. It Is Interesting to notice, too. that the record is broken about six weeks earlier than It was a year ago. A fair test of the market for cornfed steers was not made today, as there was nothing good In the yards. Th? half-fat cattle do not sell to good advantage, ns packers claim the western rangers are preferable to warmed-up corn cattle. The cow market started in this morning quite lively and just about ste.idy with yesterday. When buyers realised, though, that there were a good many cows In sight they cooled off a little and were bidding a little lower. Sellers were holding their of ferings at steady prices, so that the mar ket waa not very active. Bulls, veal calves and stags sold In about the same notches they did yesterday. Stockers and feeders were In big supply again this morning, snd although there were close to 175 cars shipped to the coun try yesterday yard traders had a good many 00 hand this morning. The good cattle, though, sold at about steady prices. while the commoner grades were extremely dull and a little lower. The general situa tion was expressed by one speculator when he said that he was not buying any com mon cattle, as he already hid 500 on hand and had not had a bid on them. It Is very evident that the demand from the country Is for the better grades. For the week nil but the best cattle may be quoted fully 25c lower and even the best cattle are a little lower. Western beef steers were no more than steady today, and If anything the common grades were a little lower. There have been a good many on hand all the week, and as a result packers did not act particu larly anxious for supplies this morning. Range rows were about steady at the open ing, but a little lower on the close. The best feeders held about steady, but the commoner grades were dull and a quarter lower than a week ago.

Packers seemed to be fairly anxious for stuff and the better grades commanded about steady prices. A good deal of sorting was neces sary, though, so that the morning was well advanced before much trading was done. The lambs in particular were a mixed lot. There was a fat end to nearly every bunch, but the bulk of them were rather common quality. The packers bought the fat ones that were at all good at about steady prices and the better feed ers, both sheep and lambs, held about steady, but the common grades of all kinds were dull and weak.
