HOLDERS OF CORN AWAIT ON WEATHER Oats Followed the Market for Whrat ad Trading Was Featarelfss Provisions Market Waa Easier. CHICAGO, Sept. IS. Wheat was ensy St the. opening, but gained strength, clolns; firm at a gain of ',c for Uecemher. ('nrn ruled weak, December closlns; r: lower. Oats were steady at a Kmall advance, iJe cember clrwlne; higher; provisions were esxler, closing: unchanged to l'ic lower. The early wheat market howed an eae;r tone and there waa a dlspoHltlon on the part of long holders to lei gn. leieniber responded with a decline In the flrt hour Kaslcr cahle and weakness In corn were the Influences, but reports of the rains for the west grew more sensational and houses with northwest connections, Armour and local shorts bought. Hecelpts were fair, but offerings became limited and the mar ket noon reacted. December s-olnj? to 83'c At that price there was profit taking on a large scale and a part of the advance waa lost, the close showing December back to 82V4tS2S,c. a gain of 14c. The trading was active and on a large scale. Clearances of wheat and flour equaled Z6M0 bushels. Primary receipts were l,en,000 bushels, against l.KSS.nort bushels last year. Minneapolis and Dnluth re ported receipts of 1,051 cars, which, with local receipts of 1.10 cars only four of con tract grade made a total for the three points of 1.1MI cars, against 1.941 cars la-st week and MM cars a year ago. Corn had occasional spurts of activity, hut on the whole holders appeared to be holding off until condltlona can be more accurately Judged. 1'rlces were down early, because the expected fronts were rot realised, but upon renewed reports of threatened freezing weather west, there was renewed activity In the ranks of the shorts. The result was a reaction from ElVfco for December the lowest point reached to IttSc but the strength did not hold. Profit taking brought the price of that option back to Bl'c, where It closed, barely steady with a loss of r. The market was nervous, offerings light and trade very moderate lh volume. Docal re ceipts were 766 cars, with forty-five of contract grade. The oats market was sympathetic, wheat being the governing Influence. Local bulls preferred the Ion side on the weather out look, but trade was small and featureless. December closed Ho higher at 3sc, after ranging between nc and SSStC. Local re ceipts were 2(9 cars. The early provision tone was steady on the hog situation with prices unchanged, but there was free scattered selllYig later and the close showed October pork off 15c at 113.674, with lard down 7Mpo to loo at I8.3R, nd ribs unchanged at lt.00.

Extensive short selling, not unmixed with soma liquidation, was the featare of the day s stuck mar ket, particularly during ino early session. Much of the selling was based on uninsur able crop reports. While the matket move ment Was governed largely by this factor, others almost as depi easing exerted no inconsiaerabie Innueine. London aavices reported that the Macedonian situation had assumed a graver aspect ana mis, togetner wiin tne prooable crisis in tne uriii-n cao Inet, bringing Increased weaaneaa to con sols, all maue lor lower prices. A further hardening of discounts In Lon don and Paris was reported, though Pans exchange on London was easier. For all that London bought perhaps fiu,(i00 shares on balance, chleflv Atchison. Southern Pa cific and Erie. It is quite probable that all of these transactions were of the arbitrage Sort. The local market opened with lather more than the recent amount ot activity, giving promise of a busy day. Fractional declines were the rule, but a rally soon followed, under the lead of Atchison. Other features of strength at this time wero St. Paul and Reading. A number of Inactive Issues, Including General Electric, National Biscuit and Virginia-Carolina Chemical, were traded In moderately, all at declines. The steel stocks held barely steady and the street was Inclined to take a pessimistic view of the call Issued by the syndicate to carry out the bond conversion. The heaviness of Amalgamated Copper re flected a drop In Rio iiiitos abroad. The market continued comparatively narrow and irregular, but In the late trading prices moved up, and there wns considerable short covering. A decline of, S1 per cent on the meei o per cent oonns was in mrming con trast to the material improvement made in the final trading by the grain-carrying roads, also by Union Pacific and Southern Pacific. Private advices indicating that early reports as to crop damages had been somewhat exaggerated were largely re sponsible for the comparative strength of the market at present. The report of the quarter ending June SO showed an Increase In net earnings of more than $1.6'.OiO and a surplus lncrense of $250,000. An Increase of $222,000 In net for the year was shown by tne Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville road. There was onlv a slls-ht further drain on local cash holdings, $150,090 being shipped to New Orleans. An item of greater sig nificance was the government report show ing an excess of Imports over exports for August of $7,650,000. The feature of the bond market was the heavy liquidation In United States Steel second mortgage 6s. which declined to 75c. The general market showed some heaviness in sympathy. Total sales value $1.5,10.000. United States 2s regular advanced V4 per cent. The 2s coupon declined M per cent on the last call.

Cotton Market. vpvw Tfink- Ront IS COTTON The cotton market opened barely sttsdy s.t an advance of 11 points to a decline of 3 points. February and March were the only options there. The advances were due to a renewal of bull support end covering, fol lowing the higher English spot market, where prices were marked up another 16 points and the relative firmness of Sep tember in that matket which advanced be yond local expectations, while the latter positions, were hardly as high aa has been considered due on the New York closing of the previous day. September here came In for the most aggressive support and read as high as ll.SOc on the call, while Ootoher reached lO.lOo and December 9.90c and January, 9.77c, Almost Immediately, how ever, selling orders came pouring In as a rosult of disappointment over the show ing of the weather map which had been expected to reflect no little damage from the southern storm. This, however, ap peared to have spent Its force In Florida and to have developed into nothing more than "good soaking rains" by the time It reached the central belt. These were thought to be more beneficial to cotton than harm and brought about active selling for oth accounts, under which prices reached a level some 7i&9 points below yes terday's level. Then It was noted that the forecast called for cooler weather, with frost predicted In portions of Texas and outside selling ordera subsiding, the room turned for cover and prices rallied par tially. The advance was short-lived, not withstanding the fact that the regular weekly report of the weather bureau proved more bullish than had been looked for and during the afternoon the market ruled generally weak, reaching the lowest point of the session under active liquida tion and selling for short account. Septem ber sold as low as 10.93c, October 9.86c and December 9.79c and January 9.97c. Just before the close the demand became slightly better on the reaction theory and Septem ber rallied a few points, closing at 11. 01c. Generally speaking, however, prices were finally at the low point, with the market steady, net 16i?W0 polnrs lower. Sales were estimated at 600.000 bales. Metal Market. . . NEW YORK, BenV 1 15.

Packers, however, were Blow to take hold, owing to the fact that reports from Chicago were not very favor HljJe. The heavy hogs sold largely around $5.55, with the medium weights going from $5.60 to $5.65 and lights sold from $5.66 to $5.75. There was nothing strictly fancy on sale In the way of light weights and consequently the top price does not show the strength of the market. Trading was slow from the start to finish and the morn ing was well advanced before even the bulk of the small receipts on sale was disposed of. The last end of the market was, if any thing, a trifle weaker, especially on the heavy hogs, so the late arrivals did not sell to quite as good advantage as those that came In earlier.

Packers all seemed to have liberal orders and claimed that they have not been getting near enough so far this week to nil their orders and said they were willing to pay good, strong prices for desirable grades. There were not enough killers offered, however, to make a test of the market. The demand for feeders was brisk as a large number of country buyers were on hand. - Yearling wethers sold us high as $3.50, which looked like a good, strong price. Feeder lambs, of good quality In particular, were scarce. The quality of the feeders offered today, taken us a whole. was better than the average, so that trading was active ana tne nunc or tne arrivals was disposed of In fairly good season.

The hens are getting discouraged. This kind of weather makes exercise necessary to keep the blood circulating nnd sedentary occupations are depressing. Eggs nra scarce. There are of course a few young pullets who, with the perennial enthusiasm of youth, are trying to supply the market, but they can not do It, and Omaha Is on tho verge of the refrigerated egg. This Is the season of the year when the old haps refit themselves with feathers nnd they are too busy with the milliner and seamstress to do anything else. Partly for this reason, but more probably because of the heavy roads, the market Is In that con dition that birds are received with one hand and handed out with the other. The farmers by their prosperity have made the market In a way less stable than It wns In former years. Then they needed money every day and rain did not keep them from marketing their chickens. Now It does. They can wait contentedly until good roads are reported. Another thing", fowls are scarcer In times of prosperity, because the wealthy farmer can't be bothered with their raising. For the spring chicken 104 cents Is now being paid and for hens $Vx cents. If the rains continue the market will ho better In two or three days. Young durUs show the disrespect to their elders of bring ing 2 cents more, that Is, 9 cents from the wholesalers. Turkeys are beginning to get too busy fattening up for the Thanksgiv ing season to como often to the market now. The butter Is getting new life from tho fresh, cool air. Best creamery goes nt 20 or 21, cents, dairy at 15 and 16 and packing at 13. The refined product of the process houses Is at 16 and 17 cor.'.s. This last butter Is very bitter at the legal designa tion, "renovated." The pats say that it Is an Insult to their perhaps lowly country origin, which If not "highfalutln," Is hon est' and decent. When they come to the city. If perhaps lacking a little In polish, they are as good at heart as any other butter.
