Primary com receipts were 494.000 bushels and shipments 919,000 bushels, against receipts last year of 333,000 bushels and shipments of 347,000 bushels. Broomhall estimates the world's wheat shipments for Mondav will be about lO.nno,- 000 bushels, of which Kurope will take about S.MW.ono bushels. Arrivals of breadstuffs Into the United Kingdom during the week will aggregate about 4.4o0,ll"0 bushels. He predicts there will be a fair decrease In the quantity on passage. A Chicago trader Is quoted thus by the Tribune: "We have got to move soma of our wheat. If the price were around 82c 1 think we could work a deal abroad, and after the ball was started rolling I think wheat would be worth more money. But If we hold up around 86c tha wheat will stay here, will become a drug on the mar ket and we probably will have to get out around 75c. Now Is the time to do export business, before competition gets the upper hand."' Omaha Casto Prices.

Sent. 30 General llqulclitlon In the wheat pit resulted today from heavy forward movement of the new erop. In consequence the December option closed He on. Other staples showed iracnonai losses, corn, Vc; oats, H'ac, and provis ions, 21Vi!e.e, The wheat market was docHiiy wean. throughout the session. From the start the market was subiected to much selling pressure. The greatest weakness was mani fested In the BeptertiDer option wiucn tanged between KNtyttSV:- News of the day was almost entirely favorable to the beam. Cables were lower. Receipts In the northwest were heavy and the price of cash wheat at Minneapolis was 'oft about 2c. Arrivals today at Minneapolis and Duluth were 1.115 enrs against 1,009 cars a year ago. In addition to the heavy move ment in the northwest, receipts today at all primary points In the United States showed a huge Increaee, total arrivals tieing 1.700.K) bushels, compared with l.OSo.OOO bushels the corresponding day a year ago. At the opening December was off Vc to He at 84WiS4c. During the first half hour the price made a further decline to 837p. At that point the market was steadied bv temporary support from a lead ing bull. Following subsequent withdrawal of that support the market became still weaker, December dropping to S34ilc. Part of the loss was regained on covering by shorts, September delivery showing the greatest reaction. The market, however, closed wenk with December at 83Hc. Sep tember closed at &3c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 272,000 bushels. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 1,135 cars against 1.0S6 cars last week and J. 100 cars a year ago. Considering the sham break In wheat. the corn market held remarkably steady al- tnougn prices showed slight losses. Local receipts were small but the total primary movement was 25 per cent In excess of that of the corresnondlne dav a vear ago. A carload of new corn was received In Chicago today from central Illinois, hut the grain was suld to be absolutely unmerchantable. Several leading commission houses were liberal sellers. Lower prices it Liverpool aided the bears. The market closed steady; December opened unchanged to MiC lower at 43&44c, sold off to 48feO and closed at 4.1x4c. "Local receipts were 266 cars with 118 cars of contract grade." The oats market was affected to some extent by the slump In wheat. The mar ket, however, was held comparatively steady by the purchasing of nearly 1,000,- 000 bushels of May oats by a leading com mission house. Liberal receipts tended to produce bearish sentiment. December opened a shade lower at 28't Bold off to 2i7c end closed at 28o. Local receipts were 6ii cars. With the exception of a small flurry In September pork the provisions market was steady. A few lots of September pork were wanted but no offerings developed until the prospective purchaser had bid up the price 65c a barrel. In general trading was very quiet. At the close, January pork was off Be at 812.371: lard was down iHQSc at 86.77H-80. Ribs were 60 lower at 8. 4714. intimated receipts for Mondav: Wheat.

A good proportion of the receipts this week consisted of western beef, although there was a fair supply of corn cattle on sale, considering the time of the year. Values held up fairly well and trade favored selling interests to some extent. 1 here was a good demand for native beef and on ac count of the small supply prices held up in ?;ood shape and values on the close are very Ittle different than the close of laat week. or just about steady for the week. The westerns, while they have been a little lower for the week, have been In big supply, which fact was partly accountable for the decline. There Is quite a difference of opin ion as to the exact condition of the market, as trade was very uneven, but weak to a dime lower, which will about cover ihe de cline. The trade on she stuff was In a little bet ter condition and trade was a little evener. There was a good demand all the week for supplies of good quality, especially the early part or tne weeK. dui toward tne latter part prices eased off some on the commoner and rough grades and on these kinds tne mar ket was about a dime lower. The good kinds held up all through the week and ruled generally steady. Bulls, veal calves and stags were fair sellers all the week and prices were gener ally steady There was a fairly good run of stockers and feeders here and there was a fair de mand from all sources. Medium grades were wanted most and buyeis were willing to pay good price for them. For the week prices on these kinds show a gain of 15&25a, while heavy and light grades were Just about steady. HOOS There was a good comfortable run here for a Saturday, about sixty-three loads being on sale. Early reports from the east tended to make a weaker feeling here and buyers were bearish and asking concessions. Trading was rather slow, as buyers and sellers did not get together very early. Si ill the hogs were picked up in fair time and the market was closed by midday. Packers were pounding the rough, heavy, sowy loads and they suffered the big end of the decline.

The week has seen the heaviest receipts of the season so far, but values held up well and the market was In satis factory condition all tho Week. The mar ket Is well in line with other paints. In fact, there la very little stuff that sheep men can afford to ship past this point. The-i was a good demand for fat sheep and lambs all the week, with prices fully steady, with the exception of fat ewes, which ruled a little stronger. The only thing that has worked any hardship on the market Is the fact that receipts have been late In arriving on some days, which made the niarket slow, but did not affect prl.-es any. There waa a good aupply of feeders on sale, but not too many to overload the trade. There are plenty of orders to be filled and buyers are anxious to All them Prices for the week ruled fully steady, but with some rf the commonest feeding lambs livpifrc lower.

O. Druldlng of Chicago, an expert writer on flninctal topics ana delineator of stock ex change probabilities, to furnish, a weekly review of the salient features of current financial topics- gleaned from the various exchnnges. We desire, however, on the part of The Bee to disclaim all responsibility for the oc curateness of any forecast Mr. Druldlng may make concerning future prospects of any Investment or enterprise. All special Inquiries about the present or prospective value of any particular se curity should be addressed direct to Mr. F. O. rruldlng. No. 524 First National bank building. Chicago, 111. CHICAGO, Sf-pt. 30 (Special.) Money again has shown Its influence over the stock market and to such nn extent that ell drilling has very nearly come to a stop. Al though a few storks have continued to shew strength stagnation exists with most of them. The expected discount rate of the Bank of England has taken place, as the directors ordered minimum figures ralxed from 8 per cent to 4 per cent. Careful ob servation, however, would lend me to be lieve that the rate has been discounted, be cause British consols remain unchanged, and home securities of the gllt-crlge chur acter remain rather steady. The slight flurry In money served to Increase Interest In the weekly bsnk statement, which enn hardly be regarded to prove favorable. The International and domestic money markets are really the center of all Interest at this time, and trading will not roopen on a broader basis until the money marltet settles at a normal rate. Pessimists are of the opinion that the Rink of Oermany !t Its next meeting will follow In the footsteps of the English bank. Southern Pacific and Chesapeake A Ohio are practically the only two stocks which yesterday showed any strength. Rumors of an early dividend In Southern Pacific were largely responsible for the steadiness which develnpd. Among the August earnings I.e hlgh Valley shows the most favorably. The showing Is a gain of 34:5.000. or nearly 18 per cent In gross for the month: or about $217,000, or a little over 0 per cent In the net. As much as SUm.OfO was added to the sur plus. At least temporarily the erratic movement of Subway shines, which had a range of 6 points, seems to have sub sided. So many Inquiries ha-e come to me about the Tonopah mining district that a few words on the subject may not be amiss. There are three mines In the Tonopah gold camp which are really paying dividends. These are the Tonopah Mining company, the Montana Tonopah company and the Tonopah Extension company. None of these companies have paid dividends until 2F9 Idaho lamb feeders 621 Idaho lamb feeders 64 69 8 35 6 60 CHICAGO LIVE STOCK. MARKET Cattle tendy Holts Five Cents Lower Sheep and Lambs Steady.

BOSTON, Sept. 30 WOOL The Com mercial Bulletin says of the wool market: The strength of tht4 market has been Intensified by the position of the IiOndon suctions, which closed September 27. Trading has been strong and with a general advance of 6 per cent. Sales of territory wools, principally in original bags, have taken place In 24,001 to 130,0ii0 pound lots, with occasional transfers of loO.OuO pound lots. Business, as s whole, has ben comparatively quiet, although there Is more inquiry and call for sample bags of territories, as well as fleeces. Ix-alers feel that trade will follow In the course of a week or ten days. Quarters and s have the call In combing wool and half-bloods In clothing Scoured wools are also meeting with demand. Texas and California wools are quiet, while pulled wools have had some business In fine, long staple carrying wools ar.d quarter comb ings. WihiIs have stiffened here In sym pathy with their strong position at Liven, pool. The woolen mills In some instances are receiving more orders, having turned to the manufacture of finer woolens, which have the appearance o worthed. Con tracting for the 1& 4 clip h.-s practically ceased In the west for the present, al though there ia a report of several 1907 clips contracted in Idaho. The shipments of wool from Boston Id date, from lurciii ber, 23. 1!04, a. 'cording to the same au thority, sre 181.867.115 pounds, against 171, 047.O44 pounds at the same time laat year.

Bv thie win are Intimately afqualnted with mining It is claimed that the Held 4f Tom ,h outclasses anything that has been difcoxered In Colorado or Nevada. A few days ago 1 bad an xti nried conversation with a scientific prospector, who has spent considerable time in Tonopah. Bull Frog and Ool.ltWld districts. His views are verv (.pinmlstlc. but he hastened to explain that great numbers of enterprises Were being started that had absolutely no foundation or hope of ultlmnte success, Persons looking for Investment In these famous regions should exercise the greatest caution before arriving at any iinnl con clusions. To offer some consolation to those speculators who bsve been holding Subway shares 1 quote a statement which was given out ns otllclal: "The decline In the shares la not due to any physical or financial Ir regularity. It Is simply the result of selling out speculative accounts. Commission houses, when the stock reached Its high level, ordered their customers who had bought on margin to either sell out or tnke up the stock. This started to decline. There has been some good buying on the decline, but the outsiders are not obliged to support the stock and have not been doing so The Tunnel rompnnv has constructed 187.417 feet of freight tunnel under the Chicago streets, and It Is Just beginning to renllin the Im mense benefit from the millions of dollars spent in the work of construction. It is es timated that the Chicago teaming business amounts to 35O.O0O.OOO a year, of which the Tunnel eompanv expects to be doing 10 per cent by the first of the year. I can see very little logical reason ror any Immediate reaction toward higher prices In the stock markets', for the reason that monev rates are going to be strength ened still further both in New ork and In Chicago, the principal cause for which may be found In the steady demand from west ern farmers for moving western country orops. Crops are slow In moving this year. As a matter of fact, August demand for credit money was heavier than during Sep tember and the chances are eminent that October will demnnd even more money. In my opinion the monuy devoted to the pur pose of moving crops this year will be the largest that has ever been known. All things considered. It appears to me that n good bull campaign cannot be expected until after the first of the yeur, when the up-turn will start from much lower prices. EDWARDS-WOOD CO. (Incorporated) Mala Office!
