NEW YORE. ‘Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. . ‘New Your, Sept. 11—The day and week ends ‘witha much stronger and hopeful feeling than has beri perceptible since Wednesday. Various onslaughts upon different stocks have not pro- duced the effect that was expected, and at the dose of business to-day the market was gener- all strong. All the same, there is evidence of ‘want of faith on the part of many of the bulls, » gndriext weok may tell a very different story. Our Dank statement is no longer regarded asa trustworthy exponent of the actual condition of cur finance. To-day’s statement shows & mall gain. But this is not sufficient affect the market, even if it ‘ere not understood that the methods followed {nthe preparation of the statements are faulty, and tend to deceive those who rely on them. ‘The Secretary of the Little Chief Mining Com- takes to heart certain statements concern- Teh George Daly, telegraphed from Lead- tothe une, Of this city, and writes to that Mr. Daly was removed for cause, and @idnot resign; that bis statements have been unwarranted; and that the Iatter are nuw pre- pering a true statement of the condition of the ine, which will shortly be published. _ ‘The report that John Herrick, late “Superin- tendent of the Little Pittsburg, had been made Saperintendent of the Little Chief appears to ‘beat least premature. It sbould not surprise any one if next week ‘the stock market should be marked by a dispo- tition to sell rather than to buy. A careful re- ‘view of the stiuation will lead any one to the conclusion that prices are now very high. When one is asked why they should go higher a sutis- factory answer is not forthcoming. ‘othe Western Associated Press. ant ‘York, Sept. 1L—Governments quiet but Railroad bonds irregular.

There wee very littte change in provisions, but tard wwas somewhat firmer, with a steadier hog mar- ket. Wheat was slow and rather firm, consider ing that Liverpool lost part of Friday's advance. Corn weakened with warmer wenther, and oats wwere-decidediy lower, while rye and barley wero firmer. Mess pork was steadier, closing at $17.85 for.

Some departments of the market displayed real activ- ity, andthe general. movement was of more than ordinarily generous proportions for the time of year. Prices ruled steady. Boots and shoes begin to receive some attention, but the season has not yet fairly opened. Hats, caps, ‘and millinery were reported active. In the grocers market the positon of affairs was un- changed. Trade fully met general expecta- tions, and former quotations were uniform- ly well supported. The dried’ fruit trade remained quiet, with «prices leaning jn buyers’ favor. Fish ‘were quoted as before. ‘There was a firm market for butter, but busi- ness was to some extent restricted by the ruling high prices. Cheese remained.quict and un- changed. There was 2 good demand for oils at sustainéd prices. Coal and pig-iron were un- changed. ‘The yard Jumber market continues active,and the quoted prices are gencrally followed ia bill- img stuff. The shipments aro beavier than in any previous fall. The cargo offerings were light Saturday, and probably will be for a day .or . two. Common ‘pricks are ad- vancing: Dealers are asking $7.50@8.00 per 1,000. The late bad weather interfered with work ‘at the brickyards, and the supply of brick that has not already been con- tracted for is said to be not very large. If the weather is fine the yards will turn outa good many brick this month and next. Wool and Droom-forn were quiet and unchanged. Hides were firm. Hay wasin only fair request, the up- per grades being steady. ~ Poultry was stronger. Green fruits were not so plentiful, and firmer. Lake freijghts were steady at 3xXc for.corn and 4@4%c for wheat to Buffalo. Carriers wanted more for corn, and few charters were made. Room was taken, principally on steamers, for 100,000 bu wheat, 265,000 bu ‘corn, and 36,000 bu flaxseed. . : ‘The following table exhibits the number of cars of each grade of wheat inspected into store in this city from Sept. 1 to date for five years: * ESD. | 1978. | THB. | B877- | 156. 73] 18 452) a au] ge] 8 3H] SST 86] 151 c} G58] 6536). 1008 Of the 1,561 cars inspected so"far this month 949 cars were winter, which graded as follows: No. 1, 10 cars; No. 2, 606 cars; No. 8, 964 cars; re- Jected, 6 cars; no grade, 5 cars: ‘The receipts of wheat in this city during last week were .just about 30 per cent: of those tor the corresponding week a year ago.

We have hitherto accounted for the fall- ing off on the theory that the farmers, or many | of them, are looking for something like the ex- perience of last year, when those who sold latest gt tho best price. A gentloman from thé front- for yesterday stated another fact which partially accounts for it,” He says that the farmers in Northwestera Iowa, Minnesota, and Dakota aro finding profitable’employment ‘for selves and teams in working on’ the numerdus railroads that are now being built or improved in-that section of the country. ‘They are getting near- ly as much for their dny’s labor as they. would {f teaming their wheat and counting the grain | as’ .!worth’” nothing ~ on the farm, It . pays. em to stack their wheat now and market it later. Advices re- ceived by Alexander; Mitchell, of Milwaukee, from numerous points In Minnesota, state, how- ever, that thrashing is -proceeding more freely than heretofore;. whence larger receipts may be expected shortly. Atone.or two points the wheat ig too damp to be thrashed. Cowles & Dunkley’s:¢ircular says of pro- visions: Nt ‘The future of the market-is now attracting vel great attention, not only here'in Chicazo, Sat at all Other puints nt this country and Kurupe. It is'well Understood thut at the present time the stucks of pro- Yisions tn hund in America ore riot inggo, and, cha ese aro very largely held here tn 0, and mainly owned by one tirm. It 4 also quite well un- someon that pork for. September und October ie- ch higher than the more distant options, ue to the inet that the market is largely oversuld. Under the ruies of the Board of Trade mess pork to be “reguiar” for delivery on option contracts must be munufactured in the imonths of November, De- cember, January, or f ebrunry, hence, inasmuch ns at. Teast thirty days is required to cure the product, It's ditlicult to see any goud renson (except tut the mur- ket is largely oversold) why incss pork fol should be selling 3.50647 per bri under the Sepiem- der or Uctober options, inasmuch as very litle if way can be mude of the new crop in time fur delivery on November contracts. - ‘There Is not such a wide vari- ‘Anco in prices current for other descriptions of prod-- uct between the near und deferred dealings except Inthe cose of short ribs, und they are in much the same condition as pork."-It argues, therefore, the September and Uctuber options on both pork und short ribs are, to some extent, artitclally bleh, else the deferred -options aro ‘too low. It is ‘true that pAlces of the deferred options ure much Iigher than ast. year at this time, but au the same time’ product cannot be called very dear at $180) for pork, 7c per Ib tor lard, Ugo for shore ribs, and te for longs und shorts, and tho indi- Cauions ure thut there will Le a good demand on con- sumptive account: at prices in this nelztborhood.

HOG PRODUCTS—Were quiet and: unusually steady. Liverpool reported 1s udvance in pork, und ‘the local hog market was steady. ‘The pork shorts were less anxions to sell, some holding: back, think- ing that possibly there may be a reaction, due to cer- tain legal proceedings instituted the previous day. ‘There was a relatively fair Inquiry for new. Lard ‘was not much wanted, but strongly beld, and buyers were obliged to pay an advance. . Meats wore stendy on local futures, and the shipping business was ap- purently. inactive; possibly some orders wero tilled privately.
