J.881 Cattle As usual on Saturday, there were practically no fresh cattle on sale, but for the week receipts hav been the heaviest on record, footing up approximately (1.700 head,vor nearly 10,009 more than a week ago, and 3,500 more than a year ago. Ex cessive receipts the early part of the week demoralized the trade and forced prices down fully 60c, but with moderate supplies the latter part of the week much of the early decline was recovered, and closing prices for both beef steers and cows are not more than 26c to 60s lower than a week ago. In fact the desirable heavy cattle are not appreciably lower than at that time and the decline has been mostly on the light and medium weight stock that has consti tuted the big bulk of the offerings. Considerable activity has featured the traddln stockers. and feeders, and demand from the country has been broader than at any previous time this year. Fleshy steers of good quality have been firmly held frem ats.rt to finish, selling from 110.00 up to 114.50.

Unexpected Cool Weather Encourages Corn Dnjerat Oats Harden; Hogs firm. Chicago, 111., Sept. 29. Unexpecjed cool weather with frost Indications for tonight encouraged buyers today In the corn mar ket. Largely as a result prices at the close, although unsettled, were o to 114 01c net higher at $1.181.18 to $1.18, I. 18 December and $1.16 to $1.16 May. Oats finished unchanged to Ho higher and provisions ranging from 12o decline to a rise of 7c. Investors, who appeared to have been giv ing considerable attention to the feeding value of corn as compared with prices for live stock, took prompt notice of the chance that the prevailing wave of lower tempera ture mlicht bring about eleventh-hour dam age to the corn crop. Houses with seaboard connections were especially conspicuous In the purchasing, whereas big sellers proved scarce, the bulk of the offerings coming from pit longs, who had week-end profits to realize. The country sold almost bo corn and offering everyyjjere were light. Oats hardened in response to continued demand from export Interests. Heavy d Hv9f les on contracts were expected after the clcise, but arrivals here remained small. Owing to the recent Bharp advances, the provision market encountered a decided lull. For the most part, however, quotations were sustained by the comparative firmness of prices on hogs. ' ... Cnsh Prices Corn: No. i yellow, $2.01 2 02; No. 3 yellow, $2.00; No. 4 yellow nomi nal.

New Orleans, Sept. 29. Word was anxiously awaited here today from Pensacola, Fla., which was struck by the tropical hurricane. AH wire com munication with Pensacola had been cut off since about 1 o'clock yester day afternoon, when messages from that city stated the wind was blowing about 100 miles an hour, and indicated considerable damage to property. Telegraph and telerhone companies said their wires to Pensacola probably would not be restored before tomor row or later. No serious damage and no los of life were reported from the Mississippi coast or from eastern Louisiana and danger from high tides apparently had passed. Some storm damage to standing timber and to crops vas reported from Mississippi and Louisiana, Int no estimate is available. Residences Damaged. Mobile, Ala., SeptJ 29. The gulf coastal sections ot east Louvsiatia, Mississippi, Alabama and western Florida were emerging today' from the tropical hurri -ane which swept in from the Guff oi Mexico Friday and for a number of hours isolated many towns along the coast. Koofs of residences and frail build in gs were "damaged, but warniugs in advance prevented extensive damiiRC to shipping, and no loss of life was reported. Telephone, telegraph and railroad communication still -was vir tually paralyzed and washed out tracks, and damage to wires by hinh winds was expected lo constitute the chief loss. Causes Fire. The storm, struck the coast at the mouth of the Mississippi and. sweep ing across a narrow portion of Louis iana, missed New Orleans, but hit Gulfport, Biloxi and the Mississippi coast section, swept through Mobile at times with a velocity of ninety-six miles an hour and extended east to Pensacola, where communication hs4 not been restored early today. A three-story structure occupied by the Chamber of Commerce and the cotton exchange and several other buildings in the business district here were destroyed by fire, demoralra tion of the fire alarm system giving the flames a start. The loss is put at $350,000. The storm early today was continii ing its way inland in a northeasterly direction through Alabama and Flor ida, though apparently with diminish ing force.
