OATS FIRM REGARDLESS OF OTHER GRAINS lews of Crop Damage Was Sot So Bad a Anticipated aad Packers Strragtheaed Provisions Market. CHICAGO. Sept 17. Corn and wheat prices took a snasp drop, wheat ruling Mk, closing with DccmbT lo lower. Corn wan steady at a Iocs el 4i to vc. Ui. showed a u.-giee of strengin, December cloning V1' hlgner. Provisions snowed a de cline of i'-i'yiw. better weather coridltlons and the grow ing belief that neither quantity nor quality of the wheat yield has sunered apprec.able loss, with lower caoles anJ weas.ne.is in corn canned a weak opening In wheal, De cember showing a Icfla of s to c- to li to He, at 81Vtf52Wc. On top of theae Influences came anotner bad b.ea In Hep.embtT wheat at Mlnneapoila and there wan a rush of selling order that Ion e l De cember back to tiJ'-ic before the decline was checked and aome recovery scored by In fluential buying brought about by a report of a big export bulness In flour ana an Improved cash demand. The close was ateady, with December off c at kMkfy'8rc. Clearance of wheat and fi.mr were equal to 130,000 bushels, with primary receipts 924,000 buahein, against 1.21'i.Oiu bushels a year ago. Mlnneapoila and Duiutli reported receipts of 667 curs, which with local re celDta of 89 cara. none of contract tirade. made a total for the three polnta of 60 cara, against 1.067 cara laat week, and 9i cara a year a no. Croo damn if e reports from the country were few and the corn market opened unler heavy selling pressure with cemm.Hslon houses In the lead. There waa a big trade nearly all session With the late sentiment somewhat divided. There waa a show of strength In the cloning hour on the proa pert that front danger In Mill Imminent and that the damage to the crop had been underentlmated. December corn, which old off at first from 614 to 61k4i51ttc. re acted to 62c, but profit taking by the long holders brought the price back to about the starting point, the close being steady at 61c, a Toss of i to c. Local receipts were 687 cars, with forty-five of contract Trade. Oats showed a lona early with other gralnn, but ahorts covered freely at the decline and Jocal traders , followed, caus ing considerable strength. The volume of trade Improved with the better tone, and cash demand wan good. December closed 34e higher, at SRTtQ-ISc. a shade below the top, having sold to 38 Vic Local receipts were ninety-nine cars. ' Parking nouses turned a weak provision market to firm and some early Ions In firlees) was recovered, although prices hroughout the lint were off.

Interest In to day's stock market centered largely around the steal Usues and certain other industrial securities. 1 he crop situation, concerning which f jrther contiadlctory reports cama to hand, was of secondary imparlance, com pared with the Irnpiet-s.on conveyed by tho lurther heaviness of steel common, which established a new low record of I80. Ihere waa little pressure against Stei-l preferred and the 6 per cent bonds were steady, compared wltn the pervious day s marked wtakness. Another feature of the industrial situation, which was not without Influence, following hard upon the early weeks developments in United StatiS Realty, was the showing made by the tttanuard Rope company and the break in Tennessee Coal. Under tavoiablo coudi tlona prices In New York probably would have shown some advance at the outset, if only that tho Itank of Englanu's d'MOunt ate showed no advance, but oer. stent selling of Americans by London and the suspension of a prominent Liverpool ot ton house helped to produce an lriegu.ar opening. Buying of Standard Ranway shares by brokers commonly supposed to represent strong Interests together with heavy covfrlng turned the course of the market upward before noon. Alchlsin wis taken In iarRe amounts by a western com mission house, and some of the stuck ad vanced on buying by brokers, prominent In these Issues recently. Brooklyn Transit, concerning which miny rumors wete circu lated, was again Irregular. Practically nil of the morning s improvement wns wiped out. In the last hour the weakness of the industrial group be came more acute, Tenneaee Coal sell ing off four points, and Steel comnun touching the low fleure of the day. The: were losses In Republic Steel and PressM Steel Car. The brenk In Tennessee Coal wan not explained. Some of the high grade railway shares participated in the decline, which was followed by a rally In the course at which prices recovered to a level approaching yesterday's cl:s Steel common mado a net decline of per cent, nnd the preferred was unchangc 1, The market closed steady. It develop d niier tho close of the market that much of the selling of Tennessee Coal came from a Philadelphia house and was said to be based on adverse trade reports. London's sales on balance were estlmtcl to be 2(1.000 shares and purchases wero nor mal Koreicn exchange ndvanced idiiirplv to 48fi.2o points, due largely to 11 demand for bills to meet maturing n:nety-day loans. A feature of the day was the sale ot l'O shares of United States Shipbuilding at $lper share. The subtreasury made another shipment of $100,000 to New Orleans, In addition to which further direct shipments to tho we'U and southwest were reported. The banks reported a loss of $3,000,0iio as against a gitn or 1.H uu 1 in tne same perioa last ween. The bond market showed some slight Ir regularity in sympathy with the wide fluc tuations In United States 8tee1. Total sales, par value. $l,42n,O0O. United States 2s and old 4s advanced per cent on the last call. Fo'lowlng are the closing quotations on the New York Stock exchange: Atchison 54 St. Piul p(d 172V4 trading was Inactive and prices closed heavy. The private rate of discount was 3 11-1 per cent.

Sept. 17.-COTTON-The market opened weak at unchanged prices to a decline of 6 to 9 point, and at first showed a little further loss under the disappointing; cables and liquidation, but almost Immediately rallied and during most of the balance of the session ruled laliiy active and Ktrongr oil heavy cover ing, bull support and buying from out side sources, following further adverse weather news. Not only were the tem-pt-iutuies over the belt generajly low, but frost was reported In one section of Texus and continued cold was Indicated for the northern portions of the belt. The weather chart also showed heavy precipitations again in some sections of the belt, and, taken altogether, the news was character ised on the floor as downright bad. Prices in the early morning hour had reached a level net 1 to 11 points lower, were ad vanced in spite of continued opposition by certain prominent bull Interests, and the realising that the gains naturally at tracted, until a level net 1 to 28 points higher had been attained, with September serilna; at 11.18c; October, 10.07c; January, 9.96c. Then offerings became heavier and In the last hour thero was- heavy selling by a local bear Interest, which. In con nection with realising, was heavy enough to cause a decline 11 1 most as rapid as the advance, and the market was finally barely steady, 8 to 7 points lower on all options except September, which was 15 points higher. All day sentiment here was ner vous and unsteady. Sales, 6,000 bales. NEW ORLEANS, Sept. 17.

Packers started In bidding 6100 lower, hut sties men were not willing to take off over a nickel, nnd for that reason trading wns rather slow from mart to finish. As a gen eral thing the market was only about a nickel lower, but the same as yesterday there was considerable uneveness to the trade, so that some sales looked much bet ter than others. About half of the hogs were late In arriving and that fact of course helped to make trading slow. Tho heavy hogs sold largely from 85.60 to $6.66, medium weights went from 86 66 to 86.70 and lights sold from 35.70 to $6.80.

Sept. 17. Money was In good demand in the market todav. Discounts iwere maintained. Prices on the Stock ex change opened allrhtly firmer. The un certainty of the money situation and the closing of the 6t'k exchange next Sat urday checked business. Consols opened with a better tone on the development of the fiscal question. A large line of stock was offered on various rumors, including expectations of dearer money and of tha Bank of England withdrawing heavily from the market. Americans opened un settled and mostly lower, but they sub sequently hardened and closed firm. Grand Trunk waa ateady on the traffic returns equaling expectations.

COFFEE The market for futures opened steady at un changed rjrlces to an advance of 5 points and influenced by continued small primary receipts covering and some nine outaioe demand In the absence of important of ferings, ruled firm at first with pncei at one time showing net gains of 6 to 10 points. Later, however, the demand fell off and prices sagged down to about the opening basla. the market at the close being steady, net unchanged to 6 points higher. Bales were 11.000 bags.

Several trains were late in arriving and that fact prevented an early close. There were quite a few corn fed steers on hand this morning and some of them were of better quality than any that have been received here in some HttTa time. The top price of the day was $5.75, which la also the highest price for some little time. The market on desirable corn feds could be auoted firm, and even the short feds sold to as good advantage as they did yesterday. The fact that Chicago waa quoted slow to a dime lower did not seem to have much effect upon the market here. The demand lor cow stun was apparently fully equal to the supply and all grades sold In Just about the same notches they did, yesterday. Trading could not be quoted as exactly active. DUt sun tne came Kept moving toward the scales and the bulk of them was disposed of In good season. The same as has been the case all the, week, good stuff was scarce and consequently In the best demand. Bulls, veal cilves and stags showed no particular change. The stocker anil feeder mnrket took on considerable life this morning, and trading was active with prices a little stronger. There were about 100 cars shipped to the country yesterday, which cleaned up the supply" on hand In fairly good shape, and made speculators anxious for fresh cattle this morning. The good heavy rattle of course sold to good advantage, but still even the commoner kinds were easier to dispose of than they were yesterday and brought fully as good prices. There was a fair sprinkling of western beef steers Included In the offerings, but packers took them at Just HKIFKR8. 1 433 1 70 I BULLS. tun 3 ik 1 BTOCKliHS AND FaUSDaiRa 360 I 30 4 871 I 33 TM lis 40 177 t 34 347 3 30 NEBRASKA No. 3... sn... 41...

Sellers are firm in their Ideas and will not make concessions, be lieving that they will be able to secure better quotations In the near future Had weather has Interfered with Jobbers" sales. GOSSIP ON COMMISSION ROW Think ot the rider aad Hate to Com; After the told Winter la Here. It will he well to consider, while tb cold, cold winter and the hard, hard conl are taking up so much of people's thoughts, that there will be nuts to cat and apples, and cider to drink, by way of mitigating hardships. The cider may be only water, burned sugar and chemicals, but the nuts and apples are the real thing. The new almonds and the new English walnuts are to be In this month and the Braxll nuts are already housed In the wholesale places. So get your hammers ready to knock on the poor little shell game. The Braxlls ore new by courtesy and custom, for the weather works on a differ ent schedule down there, and by the time the first of tho crop reaches lis here the excitement of the thing has somewhat sub sided there and the cltiens sre looking for new buds on the trees. Tho opening price Is 12'4 cents. No. 1 soft shell English wal nuts are at 18 cents, and nearly all In, whlli the hard shells are closing out at 13V4. cents. The figure Is rather high. While good American nut eaters were proudly eating the wnlnut as a fellow cltlsen from California, and the Anglnmnnlacs were doing the nut as something from the other side. In most rases lately It has been the dark hulled nut of Chile which has bee:i filling the breach, because tha western cron was high priced and short. The South American walnut Is dark of hue, because the immigration officials will not stand for bleaching. While peopls are Sticking the live boiled peaches In the preserving Jar, It Is inter esting to observe that California has sent out 300 more cars of that fruit this year than ever before. The total car' number for all fruit this year has been 6,000. Oood oranges are probably hard to buy In San Francisco.

Packers, however, were all very anxious for supplies, ns they have not been able to get near enough this week to fill their orders. For that reason It Is safe to quote the market on all grades of both fat sheep and lambs active and strong. The demand for feeders was also in good shape as a number of Iniyers were on hand waiting for the trains to arrive. The mar ket on all desirable grades of both feeder sheep and lambs was safely steady and something strictly choice might have sold to a little better advantage.

Bird Stays Away and Grocers' anil Botchers' Picnic la Regarded Certain. Noah of the Retail Grocers' association, he being disgulshed as Harry Fischer and a quite lelTectlve disguise, too has failed to get back his pigeon, and sd claims It a cinch that ground has appeared whereon a rlcnlc may be held. The other birds sent out have all sailed back to the ark. He expects to get a telegram from the last bird any day giving the location and depth of dryness. The place, says Noah, will at least have nil the advantages of Mount Ararat drainage and pure air. with an extensive water view, and In addition will have a number of distinctly modern amusement fentures. A tent show will be given and In addition to the other things the butchers will barbecue two steers. A foot ball game, either between Crelghton and the Commercial college team or the Dodge Light Guards and Council Bluffs, Is to be played. The only thing that Mount Ararat lucks, says Mr. Noah Fischer, la a modern heating, plant, and that disad vantage will be met by large bonfires, which will be fed from the superstructure of the ark or from convenient private wood piles. Weather Forecaster Welsh ta the rain bow In this particular case, and Father Noah has Seen It, that is, Mr. Welsh, and Is assured that rain Is a practical Impossi bility. Mr. Fischer would hardly have been led to think this by former experi ences, but Is Informed that the conditions are such.' 9M MVl S30 17 cows 963 1 cow 9-0 1 cow I:i0 1 cow 770 4 cows 8'j5 NEW TORK.
