THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS, A Bearish Tone is Noticeable in the Wheat Pit. CORN CLOSES SOMEWHAT LOWER. Oats Easier With Little Doing—Small Interest Shown in Provisions— Cattle Rather More Active— Hogs Brisk—Quotations. CHICAGO PRODUCE MARKET. Cnicaco, Sept. 25, —[Special Telegram to Tne Bee.] -The steam was let off this morning and the wheat market slowed up a little. More than that, it reacted, and rather sharply, too, though there was a recovery later, and closing quotations are about mid- way between the two extremes reached on more active futures. September, on the contrary, not only held its own, but scored another gain. It opened at £1.03, sold down L0114, advanced to £1.04!¢, hung around #1.04 for a while and closed at £1.04. The of- ficial opening range, after a wild and very irregular start, was 98¢ for December and $1.01 for May. Themarket was overwhelmed with realizing orders, and a bear eontingent, headed by Ream, promptly got on top. They pounded away vigorously and helped knock oft fractions until 06%c for December, and Wic for May was twuched. This marked a decline of 1'jc¢ from yesterday's closing figures, The marke looked weak at the reaction, May especially But at the tical moment Hutchinson come to the front. December worked back to 973 for quite a time, fluctuated within lim- its of Bc with 971{@ as the battle ground.” Towards noon there was renewed stimulation and prices shot upward. The early advantage gained by the bears was al- most entirely lost, but just before the close the crowd was plugged full of wheat, and the market staggered back The volume of speculative business on change in wheat was very large. There were seasons of dullness when it looked as though the excitement had entirely died out, but these periods were of brief duration, The averaee of business was quite up to the recent record. Professional speculative sentiment 18 again getting r- ish. The weather was again threatening. Late grading of new corn into quality suit- able for delivery on speculative contracts, together with numerous buying orders at the start, opened the market firm and '{c higher for October than the closing price yesterday. The quantity inspected out of store was also large, amounting to 467,424 bushels, which was well regarded by the bulls, and ables noted a better demand in England. 'here was also a decrease of 160,060 bushels in the amount on occan passage, and the opening firmness was of short duration. A trader who figured prominently yesterday as a buyer had large quantities for sale, and, aided by other local speculators, hammered the market down from 48c, which was the opening for Octobe: ¢, The inspection expected for to-morrow was 540 cars, and this was not considered excessive, though enough, and wheat at the same time firming up caused a reaction to 415{c, and the closing price was at 41}¢@415¢c for October, 411¢¢ for mber, 40%c for November, and May at 35%c. These show declines since erday of about 1!J¢ in near months to }j@¥{c in more remote. In oats there was little doing, with an easy feeling apparent, which developed into fractionul decline, with a part of vesterday's improvement lost. Receipts were liberal, and in sympathy with the other heavy markets there was a lack of speculative demand. Prices were g@lyc lower, with May selling down to 285 @?Si{c and September to 231;¢, with the next month at about !jc mium, store lots, receipts dated to- u..k! sold at v's inside prices. he provision interest failed to command any diget o positive support. On the con- trary, the tendency was to hammer the mar- ket “whenever a good opportunity was pre- sented, and from the start the bear side was regarded with the greatest favor. Lower prices were made the rule and on most lines of product yesterday’s lm‘vrovnment was in & great measure lost. Trading wi lno spasmodic and the condition of affai on the whole, unsatisfactory forholder Closings for tho day showed a decline of 7i¢e on September pork and Jnnual’y lard; 15¢ on October short ribs, 27'¢c on November and year pork, 121¢c on November lard, 10c on year lard, © on January pork and 5¢ on January lard. z)cwbor lard closed un- changed, though the absence of English houses controlling it from the pit was taken advantage of just before the adjournment :al:.l several sales were made at a decline of CHICAGO LIVE STOCK, Cmicago, Sept. 26.—[Special Telegram to Tur Bee. |—CarrLe—Trade was rather moro active that yesterday and the general mar- ket about the same. The depression was somewhat less and the chances were that a greater number would be sold than yester- day. With 14,000 fresh . there was at least 16,000 to 18,000 on sale. The few thousand weighed and sent to the shipping division did not seem to make much of a clearance. As to prices, there would seem to be little or no change and but for the oversupply of me- dium rangers values would have ruled stronger. *‘Itisthe great number of medium rangers that is taking thelife out of the mar- ket,’ said many a salesman, . On low grade and medium stock, either natives, Texans or rangers, prices are so low that it ‘scems im- ssible for them to go any lower. I3ut there is no saying what may happen if the run kecps up to the present volume. Cow stock remains slow at the lowest figures for this reason and some lots were sold tos day that barely paid expenses. The stocker and feeder trade was fair and prices on good stock remain steady; natives, $3.50@6.50; cows, §1.80@2.80; stockers, $2.003.10. Hoas—Business was brisk and prices B@10c lower, making a decline, as compared ‘Wwith this time last week, or 40@dbe. Big strings of good mixed and packers were made up at about §.90, and common mixed went as low as $5.75. Best beavy sold at 26.0 o(m 25 and fancy heavy §6.356.40, a few at §0.45. Light sorts were '@10c lower prime §1.70@1.80. Yorkers, closely assorted, could have becn had at §6.10@0.15, and com' mon light at $5.75@5.90. FINANCIAL. NEw Yurk, Sept. 20.—[Special ‘Telegram to Tue Ber.|—Stocks—There was rather a strong opening this morning with some small advances exhibited and more activity than of late. New England, Northern Pacific preferred, St. Paul, Oregon Transconti- nental and Louisville & Nashville were leaders in the action, and in early trading a further slight gain was made. Chesapeake & Ohio common certificates were strong, rising 1 poiut on large business for that stock. Prominent commission houses were conspicuous buyers of stocks and London ‘was reported firm. After a small appres tion the early market became more quiet ana prices reacted somewhat, displaying, how- ever, a stronger tone after 11 o'clock, though Do new feature of interest was developed as far as the general list was concerned. In the unlisted securities cotton oil certificates were active and strong, advancing rather freely, the “big four" also going up amid consider- able activity and a display of bullishness. ‘The general list made slight advances and at noon was quiet but firm to strong at small fractions better than opening prices. Toward the close the market gained in strength and activity, though the movement was confined to a few stocks. ‘T'he ‘‘big four closed 1 point lower than its best figure, which was a gain of 2 points. Cotton oil advanced about 2 points. The bull feature of the day was New England and Northern Pacific pre- ferred, the latter gaining 1) points. New England sold up to 49, an advance of 24§ points, and exhibited a good deal of strength. A director stated that at yesterday's meet- ing it was voted to issue and sell 2,500 shares of preferred stock for the purchase of equip- - meuts..
