THE TRADING PITS (QUIET. A Qenoral Absence of Outside Speculative Orders Noticeable, CORN FOLLOWS AFTER WHEAT: No Particnlar Change in the Pro- vision Trade—A Liberal Supply of All Kinds of Cattle— Quotations, . CRHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET, Ciicaco, Sept. 14, ecial Telezram to the Brg.]—The trading pits were very quiet Indeed all the forenoon to-day. Outside do- mestic markets were, t) judge from the dis- patches, as spiritles: as our own and noth- ing came over the wires of a character to disturb values materially., The yellow tissue had it that the New York produce exchange was in ahuff over an article published in the ‘Times of that city, purporting to be an inter- view with President Wright concerning the bucket shop question, and were giving more attention to “turning over” this exchange than they were to business. TLe goneral absence of outside speculative orders here, the lack of local interest and gossip over the news from Ottawa on the anarchist case, all tended to make it a dull day on the Chicago bourse. Wheat opened firm ana fractionally higher, with “the crowd” in an excellent humor for giving prices a little boost. This inspiration was drawn from the ‘“on-passage” figntes, It was shown that during the past week there was a decrease in the amount afloat of 1,760,000 bushels, and althongh the New York market was firm, cables were unimproved, spot wheat being reported in limited de- mand, with India sorts lower. Good buying early by Driver & Shaw and the scalping ele- ment, sent October from 605%@00%{c at the opening, up to 70¢, December improving in the neantime to 72%c and May to e, But a8 the market received no outside support, the improvement did not hold and by noon October had dropped back to yesterday’s closing range, or 69}@09%c on the svlit. That future sold very sparingly at 70c. The reaction was rather sharp and on the down turn the weakness was intensified by sell- ing orders from New York. The market showed no recuperative power dnring the last hour of the morning session and the 1 o'clock closings were barely a spht better than yesterday afternoon. The extrome range covered by fluctu- ations was only about ‘e, and when the bell tapped quotations stood at 695%e for October, 71'sc for November, 72%¢ for December and :H‘,(m.\‘fic for May. Ex- rt cleatings made a small showing—only 4,000 bushels—and rerr)gt.a at twelve princi- pal points were 627,000 buskels, against 228,000 shipped from the same. ‘T'he arrivals here continued very light—only thirty-elgnt cars of both winter and spring in yesterday’s inspection, including but one car of No. 2 spring. ‘The estimated receipts for to-mor- row are fifty-seven cars. Corn tollowed pretty close after wheat. Dullness, narrow fluctuations and a general absence of interesting features was the order of the day in the pit, and the leading futures closed at 1 o'clock about ‘e off as compared with yesterday’s last bid. October opened stronger at 42igc, sold up in the early deal- ings to 425¢@43%c together, and then off to 423%c, which was the market at 1 o'clock, In the November and Dacember options there was only a limited business passing, and while tho opening figures showed 's¢ pre- mium on November fover October, it finally disappeared, and toward the close Noven was lge discount. ~ May corn opened at touched 458c and later sold off to 45% @ on the split. _All months rested at the bottom at the close of the morning session. Trading throughout was of a light scalping order, and although the tone of the warket was in the direction of a lower level, after the little l)lll{{u early, the feeling was at no time espe- cially weak. The New York market was firm and caoles were dull with “a poor de- mand.” No fault can be tound with the cash movement at this point. To-day’s charters footed up 296,000 bushels, with lake freights by water to the seaboard unchanged, where pretty much all of the shipments are point- ing lately. Receivers say that all the indi- cations are in favor of continued hberal re- ceipts and most of the banks report larger shipments of currency to Interior oints for the movement of corn. esterday’s arrivals exceeded the estimates nll htly and expectations to-morrow are for cars, which is a little larger still. 'The nnun are not dismayed, however, by the re- ceipts. There was decrease in the amount of corn on ocean g; age last week of 720,000 bushels, and it is believed that if prices do not get oo high the export trade in this creal will from now on cut more of a fizure than it has for years.. Hutchinson was a free seller of October corn to-day. This would not have special significance, perhaps, were it not for the fact that he has been the leading bull in this market for a month pns( and as a leader. and heavy nw-ralur his movements are closel; watched by the crowd. was also reported that “Hutch” had sold all of his cash holdlnzs. amounting to about 700,000 bushels, to Baker, who will keep on moving it out. Captain l'mm 08 18 an un- compromising pbull on corn, o does not go back on the government tlxurcn. but says they are good enough for him, reading them this way: Crop of 1886, 1,665,000,000 bushels; erop of 1557, 1,445,000.000 bushels: shortage, 220,000,000 bushels; amount less in farmers hands and in visible than Iast year, 180,000,- 0 busiiels; * total ~ shortage, 400,000, bushels. Oats were again very dull in the specula- tive market. Orders to either buy or sell were phenomenally light and the slight changes that occurred in prices were in ln\'or of holders, October improved from 258(@-5 together to 258¢c straight, November trom 2 10 2635 and Muy sold and closed at 30, about e better at 1 p, m, In provisions there was no particular change. Trading wasfair and in the ceneral market the bear side was regarded with the greatest favor, though the most serious de- pression suffered was in lard, which declined 2lg@de from last night’s closings. Short ribs for the different deliveries dealt In were unchanged, while in Jnnulrx lxurk there was even advance of 25e. 1l things cnn— sidere®the trade was well supported. Sep- tember and October short ribs ranged ot !5 00 (@8.95 and rested at 1 o’clock at $3.00. Sep- tember lard was about the same as Oetober, which sold from $6.55 early down to $6.4754.

Shipping FINANUIAL Niw Yonk, Sept. 14,—[Special Telegram to the § Bek.)—S8t00 Stoek operators were slow to take hold this morning, being disposed to await the action of the treasury in the purchase of bonds. The offerings were less than expected, aggreeating 85,175, 110 at §1.10 down to $1.07, $4,000,000 being offered at §1,08. The announcement of the aceeptance was slow in coming, and during the interval the bears hammered the market with telling effect, using Western Union, of which the bulls have been suspected of late as the leader, and when it started downward the bulls be:an dumping, and it broke from 814 to 7614, and 20,000 shares changed hands. Coal stocks followed, and were sold by room traders on anticipation that there would be a general strike, and prices aropped 1} to 2 voints. The Grangers were weak, declining 3¢ @1 point. The rest of the active list broke 1}4@? points, but rallied slightly about 2 o'clock. When the announcement of the government's acceptance of §4,000,000 of bonds was made, the market rallied @1 per cent on coverinz by shorts, but after a brief period the bears again attacked the market, and it sold off rapidly, the last sales being at almost inside tigures, and showed a net decline of 2! on Reading and Western Union, 3 on St. Paul, ’§ on Northwestern, 3¢ on Lake Shore, 13 on Lackawanna, % on Cotton Oil, *and 35 per cent on Chicago, Burlington & Quiney.
