The world s whent shipments for Monday are estimated nt about 8,sh0.(j0 bushels, of Which quantity Europe will take about I.OuO.OOO bushels.

A round lot of 10,000 tons of flour was sold at Minneapolis yesterday to go to China. All the leading markets reported large sales of flour, Kansas City selling S.o"0 barrels.

Clear weather in the northwest was the chief reasons for a somewhat easy tone in the wheat market hue today. At the nose wheat for De- ember delivery was off c. Corn is off ic. cuts are practically unchanged. Pro Islons are a shade lower to 7al"c higher. The wneat market oncned easier, with December off a ahade to gc. Dry weather throughout Minnesota and the Da kolas was tha main cause of the Initial de clines. As a result of Improved weather conditions it was claimed that arrivals of new wheat at Minneapolis on Wednesday would show an -enormous Increase, t'oin mlssion houses later became quite active purchasers. In consequence the market for time showed considerable firmness. De cember advanced to 83c. The principal source of strength lay In large export bus iness reported at the seaboard. Anotner bullish influence was continued demand from millers for cash wheat. The market soon yielded to persistent offerings from pit traders, prices selling back to about the opening level. The Michigan crop report waa a bearish factor In the reaction. The wheat yield of that state Is estimated at 19,(j,noo bushels, as against S.OnO.tmo bushels ust year. The market closed easy, with December at 82c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 335 000 bushels. Pri mary receipts were 13,C) bushels, com pared with 918.000 bushels a year ao. Min neapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported re ceipts of fH cars, against 469 cars last week and 332 cars a year ago. Sentiment In the corn pit was bearish as result largely of the excellent weather for the maturing of the crop. Trading was very quiet. At the close prices were at the lowest point of the day. December opened unchancert to V4c lower at 43'il43 c. sold off to 43c and closed at the bottom. Ixical receipts were 459 cars, with 206 cars of con tract gTade. A liberal Increase In local receipts caused some weakness in the oats market. Mod erate purchases of May by a prominent commission house prevented any material decline In prices. December opened HvSc lower to 2714''a 27Vc. sold ud to 27Sc and cloned nt 27c. Local receipts were 336 cars. Provisions were steady on a so advance In the prlcea of live hogs; offerings were small.

NEW YORK, Bept. 9 The restored con fidence over the money market, which caused the. rally in stocks, was somewhat impaired again when trading in stocks was resumed today. An active bear party put out short lines freely in various quar ters of the market. There was some cover ing from this source after the bank state ment appeared, but prlcea eased off again before the closing, as the radical changes In the various items of the bank stste ment were not liked. The bank statement In fact, showed a much heavier loss of cash than the most liberal estimates of the preliminary computations The high est of these had run to 8S.5oO,nno when the decrease shown by the bank statements run to nearly lll.ooo.ooo. In order to ef fect the necessary reduction in the de- fioslt Item to keep pace with this heavy uss of cash and conserve the surplus, the clearing house banks had marked down the average of the loan Item for the week no less than 830,227. OoO. The decline In de posits thus effected amounts for the week to 841,166.100. These changes are far In ex cess of the reductions made in any prevl oua week in the history of the clearing house, and are the more notable as they Include operations for only seven bank ing days. The largest previous loan re duction for a week was less than S25."00.ftX), and this occurred for the week following the Stock exchange panic in May, Idol. The large reduction in reserve require ments caused by the cutting down of de posits restricted the Inroad upon the sur plus to $'167,525 as compared with last week. That Item now stands at 84.831.3.'i0, which Is the lowest figure it has touched alnce November, 1908. No one supposes that there has been any such drastic contrac tion of credits during the past week as the reduction of loans by the banks would Indicate. The liquidation In the stock market has been moderate compared with previous pe riods of active liquidation and the fluctua tions in the money rate have indicated no such urgency as would be caused by such a withdrawal of credits. It Is to be taken for granted, therefore, that a large shift ing of loans has occurred from the banks to other Institutions. The trust companies alone have taken over large loans during the week. The break in foreign exchange has been due to the borrowing of funds In foreign markets It Is reported also that some western Institutions have placed some large loans In New York this week, ana tne upward course or New York .ex change at Chicago bears out this supposi tion. The comparative tranquility of the call money market Is supposed to be due to a large shifting of stock market bor rowing from call loans In the time loans. The market closed unsettled and irregular and very- dull. Total sales of bonds today, par value, 11,045,1100. Following were the sales and range of prlcea on the Stock exchange today: Sales. High.

I...II .... ... ..a 1 a.. which nearly all of the financiers predicted and confidently expected, has failed. Wages I are high, crops are promising, the output ! of pig Iron has reached recotd figures, the , population of the country Is continuing to increase, the earnings of railways are satis factory and the general health of the coun try Is In superb condition, yet the stock market Is tumbling. It can only be attributed essentially to one reason stocks have reached very nigh figures, and the Industry and progress of the country has been discounted by specu lators. Tne fact Is. under present prices Wall street has little or no attraction for the Investor. It at once becomes evident that when an Investor can earn as much money by allowing his money to remalrr on deposit at a savings bank aa he can by Investing In Wall street values the com parative safety of the two will opernte in lavur of the savings bank. Prices are ut a very high level, and al though the chronic bull Is still predicting high prices, I am Inclined to think that after a temporary reaction for lilt; '1 figures the market will react to a lower plain. As a general thing hull movements of a radical character do not take place unless they start from very low niarke's The moneT situation, more thsn anv thing else, has been responsible for recent breaks. n Thursday call rates advanced In New York to 3 Advances were also made In tendon and Parle In banking circles the point Is advanced that although Hie banks are losing cash to the sihtreasury and the interior the end of the week ban statement will be favorably reinforced by the reduction of loana wl.lch will follow the recent heavy liquidation. Estimates made on Thursday show that the loan contraction this week will totnl over lavw fliHi. On top of the present dis turbed condition of affairs comes the trouble at Toklo. Another disturbing sign Is the keen competition among railways. The reduction by the tlrent Northern In rates for hauling grain will act seriously upon the plans of a number of competitive roads which had planned on prospective dividends on the profits created from haul ing this grain, which profit were speedily wiped out by the reduction of rates by the Oreat Northern Oould. who haa been busy pushing Ms sstem to the Pacific, is another disturbing factor. A sword suspended by a hair la hanging over the neck of the Steel trust by the threatened building of Independent steel plants. Those who have carefully watched the markets Insist that the Stand ard Oil Triple have been eellers, but It is by no means a certainty at this time. Among those prominently mentioned as operating on the short side of the market Is the Qntrs crowd. The west has len playing; the short side and the east the long side. Reading has shown a tendency to react. Few people venture an opinion aa to what Is going on In Erie, but It is being verv strongly manipulated and had best be watched verv carefully when traded In. The campaign of the press, ljwson's con tinuous harangue to the public and the tennv public exposures are unquestionably afToctlng the present condition of affaire. The big operators made a tremendous at tempt to get the public Into the market, but. although a rising market was created for them, they declined to accept the offer. The public Is not In the market today and prices will decline. There innv be tem porary reactions, but on the whole It la generally felt that prices will reach lower levela. t 72 8 62 6 47 S 48 t 4.1 6 36 37 t 30 ( 33 6 76, I 24 1 6 21i S 30! t 36 6 ob. 6 44, 6 50 6 44, 6. 6 34: i 6 46 ! 51, 6 36, 6 1'j 4 31 5 05 1 4 23 6 uti 4 30 5 10, 4 30 1 4 29 Qulncr shannon Tamarack Trinity V- Ited Coppar I. s.

This has been a week ot large receipts, the total tor tne six uays looting up 6, its head more tnan lust week and 10,9i6 head In excess of tne record lor tne cor responding week a year ago. While the big end of the receipts has consisted ol western rangers as usual at this season, there bus been quite a sprlnallng of cauio from the feed lots and pastures of Uie corn belt. The market on beef steers has been in very satisfactory condition all the week. Coin fed steers of desirable quality have been quoted as at least steady every day tins week and occasionally strong. Good weU-flnlsned loads have sold up to $6.90. While range steers were quoted tt little slow and weak one day the market was stronger again, and at the close of the week it would not be an easy matter 10 point out any hiaterial difference between prlcea now prevailing and those of a week ago. The tendency of the market on cowa and heifer lias been toward a luwer bam, till the oliangea In the market from day to day have not been very noticeable. On Monday the market was quoted aa weak to lower, on Tuesday atrong, on Wednesday and Thursday easier and on f rlday sieadv Taking the week as a whole the market is nut over 10H116C lower There has been good active demand all the week for feeders having wciynt and good flesh and good to choice cattle - of that description have been steady to strong every day. On the other hand catile, even If good, but lacking flesh and light and thin, as well as common stockers and feed ers have been slow sale and are 2uu3uc lower than a week ago.

Ae was the case yesterday morning buyers picked out the light loads paying prices that looked a lime higher but tne trade was not active and It waa slow work unloading. After the belter loads were disposed of toe niaiket slowed down nnd became verv dull and weak on heavy packing huge. AS a whole the market did not show much change, the hogs selling in about the same notches as yesterday. The hog market has been decidedly un satisfactory this week and still the cnaugu In prices has been very small. On Tuesday and Wednesday the market was quoted generally 6c lower for each day and every other day of the week It was Blow and easier. In fact dullness has been tne chief fsalura of the market for some days back and silll at the close of the week prices are on an average, only about 10c lower than they were at the close of last week. Heavy packing hogs have been the hardest to sell and have been neglected 10 such an extent on some days that It was almost Impossible for holders to unload iuie arrivals si wie yards have Deen especially iimu 10 sen the market was closed dull and easier al most every day and anything arriving late was almost certain to sell lower than the early .market.

After twenty-four hours of steady rain the sheep arrived thoroughly wet and in no shape to sell, so that the market was the duilevt and deadest that It ha been at this point in a long time, In ad dition to being lower. On Thursday and Friday values remained Just about steady at the decline. Now, at the close of the week, sheep are all of 25c lower than they were a week ago and lHtnbs are 25tf4oc lower. Otoer markets have suffered In about the same proportion, the break In prices not being confined to thia point by any means Feeding sheep and lambs at the close of the week are 15jj2c lower than a week ago, tne decline Delng due to t he breaL on fat stuff.
