THE SPECULATIVE MARKETS. ‘Wheat Shows Its Only Firmness at the Start. SPIRITLESS TRADING Oats Show Up Rather Firm—Pro- visions Prove ing—Uattle Business A the Same—Quotations, IN CORN, ! 7 CRICAGO PRODUCE MARKETS, Curcaco, Sep'. 27,—[Special Telegram to Tie Bes,]—The wheat market was firm and even strong early today, butas a whole it was heavy in tone, and a sharp decline oc- curred in the last hour and a quarter. Bentiment was bearish, though great caution ‘was exercised in starting the market. The demand was moderate and offerings wero not excessivo in the first half of the session. Four out of five of the operators who were wore “‘whooping things up" a few days ago are outspoken for a reaction. Cab) ame along earlier than usual, and the blackboard was distinctly not bullish. For that matter it has not been bullish for two weecks, the iterior receipts being largely in excess of the shipments, while exports arediscouragingly light. A great deal of stcam has been et oft in the speculative market since last Wednes- day, and, as no new fuel has been added, the feeling is that of languor, Indications wouid point strongly in the direction of a further reaction but for the one fact that stocks of contract wheat are dangerously light and the quality of arrivals continues to make a poor showing. It is true that the advance of the past ten days has started considerable wheat forward, but only a small cantago of it will come to 20. St Louis will get the bulk of southwestern wheat and Duluth and Minneapolis the bulk of northwostern wheat. The movement in the northwest promises to increase to a larger volume proportionally than further south. Indeed, the ptincipal factor of weak- ness to-day was the assurance received by opening and sugar dropped 8 per cent 87 and Atehison i to 84, There was a partial reao- tion from these figures, but no material ims provement was made. The general list, though Louisvilie & Nashville, Reading, Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific showe considerable activity, was generally dull and fluctuated over an extremely narrow range, while the general drift of prices was down ward after the first fow minutes of trading. Lake Shore lost 3¢, but the others made ouly slight movements. Cotton oil dechined to 473, against 40 last evening, but recovered to 48)¢ and sugar to 88%. The bank stat ment showed a further decrease in reserves, but this was already discounted, and the closing hour in stocks brought little chauge, Sugar recovered 10 last night's Aigure—001g. Atchison also returned to851¢. The Granger group closed with small fractional gaius, Mishouri Pacitic gained 1¢, Manitoba ¢, Jer- sey Central { and Pullman 1 per cent. The total sales were 102,000 shares for the half day. U. 8. 48 regular, U8, 48 coupons UL 8. 4)gs roguinr. . 4145 conpons 1Mlc Bs of *05.. Central Pacific Chicagod Alton. ..

Dispatches from Duluth early in the day mentioned the work- ing of 75,000 bushels of hard wheat for ex- port, but this could not be confirmed. New York advised that cight loads had beon taken there for shipment to South Amer- fea. The local market did not display decided weakness until nearly 12 o'clock. Up to that time December hud averaged about 83¢ and May above 85%(¢c, the extreme range having been 828{@s3%¢ 'for December and 85}@85%c for May. During the last hour, howevcr, values receded and'the mar- ket did not manifest rallying power. Last prices were at about the bottom and the tone at the finish was that of weakness. Decem- ber opened at 83¢, scld off lge, advanced to 883¢c, clung around 830 for awhile and ' then = advancad to 833 @sBie, Mitchell leading in the buying. he market slowly yielded /@3¢ and then sud- denly broke off 1o 82%c. The recovery to 8230 was followed by & decline to S2ic. The last fifteen minutes of the session were not marked by especially new features. The closing quotation on Decomber w. e, n net loss of %{c. May sold at the opening on & basis of 8514c, then off to 85){c and up to 8h14@S5occ. A decline to 85l @shigc fol- lowed and subsequently a bulge to 85%(@ 853¢c. The long breck carried the price to 843{c. The olosc was 85%c. Sepiember ranged at 81%@S(3{c and closed at 8037c. Trading in corn was spiritless and the ten- dency was toward still lower figures. Tran- sactions are said to be curtailed by firmness and a scarcity of ocean tonnage. The ship- f‘" demand here conflues itself at present argely to high mixed sand lower grades. ‘Lhere was again a good deal of changing be- tween October and December, selling out of the near and buying the wore distant deliv- ery, The range of fluctuations was sightly wider than has been usual for some time, but a further loss in values was the ultimate outcome, September sold early at 31%c, but declined to 81)¢e, and closed atthat, ana May sold from 83%c early to 5384c wter, and closed at 8337c bid. Oats were rather firmer to-day and consid- erable life was infused ivw the deal by quite heavy trading between Hutchinson and Sibley, the former seiling and the latter buying 500,000 to 400,000 bushels for May delivery, ‘Trading in neur futures was small. Receipts are not excessive, but seemingly sufticient to providu for the necessities of buyers. Closing quotations record a small advance in the whole list—a mere fraction. Provisions were fairly interesting, In October there was some buying by commis- slon houses supposed to be employed by mu- nipulators, and ‘n later futures of pork as well as lard and short ribs, trad- ing made quite n good showing for Satur- day. There was no marked activity at any time, but tho easier turd to_ prices, as a rule, induced copsiderable covermg by shorts whose operations were well distri buted throughout the session. Prices were affected by the continued good receipts of hogs and predictions of local arrivals this coming week amounting to 120,000 head. Excepting October pork, the elosings all around were lower than yestorday's last quotations. In November pork the decline suffered was 12!¢c, in September lard and Junuary lard 5¢, and in October short ribs aua Junuury purk 73¢e. October pork was 20¢ hugher. CHICAGO LIVE STOUOM. Cnioago, Sept. 28.—|Special Telegram to Tuw Bek,) —CATTLE—Receipts wera about evenly divided between natives and Texans, _Business was about the same as on any other day of the week.

Hoas—The demand was active and prices teady. At ono time in the morning in the 'k Island division a fow loads of packers so0ld a nickel lower, but the general market was steady from the opening to the close. Packers paid $3.95@+.15 and shippers $4.10@ 4.0, with butcher averages at $4.15@4.50, l‘l bt sorts $4.50@4.75 and singe sorts $1.50@ FINAN New Youk, Sept. 25.—|Spacial Telegram to Tur Ber.]—S100ks—The bulls in stocks ‘were not discouraged at the unusual trans. motions of yesterday. They very properly attributed the sot back in railroad stocks to the eccentric action in sugar and the drop in Atchison. The cause of thio weakness in those stocks, they agree, does not affect the rest of the list. They further contend that with such disturbances as existed most of the motive stocks showed remarkable tirmuess, The holding of Grangers was excellent. Fresh gossip has started about the pool in Burlington, which will soon cause a sharp advance in that favorite stock., The intro- duction of natural gas at Chicago is also disoussed 1n its bearings on gas certificates. ®he money question 1s & great obstaclo to bull plans, and Sage and others, who are looked up to, say that the spasms are about over, The openingto-day was marked by big offerings of sugar. Atciison, and Louisville, Bull commission houses bought freely on the declines. Fivst prices, while somewhat ir- regular, wore generally lower, and declines from last evening’s figures extended to % per cent, though sugar and Jersey Central were each up 3. Sugar and Atchison, of eourse, still monopolized attention and each began anotuer decline mmediately after the Horn Silver.. ... PRODUCE MARKETS. -Cnicaao, Sept. 25.

There was not much to do with in the way of beef cattle to-day. There have been days when the beef supply was light, but to-day there were practically no beaves here. The market was nominally steady at vesterday's prices. The demand for butcher stock was light and the same thing was true of the supply, A fow cows sold at $1.50@1.90_and a small bunch of westerns brought $2.00, The bulk of all the cattle here was made up of feeders, which moved quite freely for the last day of the week. Quite a good many western feeders sold at $2.40@2.55. How To-day's hog market experienced a dscline of 5@10¢ on heavy weiehts, while light hogs were easier, The market on heavy hoys ovened with the shippers paying about yos- terday's prices for the best, and a very fancy load 80ld as high as #1 00. This state of the trade was of very brief duration, and prices were lower almost immediately. As the later trains rolled in heavily loaded, bring- ing the receipts up to a hundred cars or more the market flattened out and the buyers were bidding fully 100 lower, ana in some cases 15¢ lower, ‘During that time quite a good many hogs sold 100 lower. For a time the trade was very slow, but as the later ad- vices from easiern points were a hittle more favorable, and as it became apparent that there were none too many hogs to fill all the orders, the market recovered a good deal of its lost atrength, and tho bulance of the offer. ings soon changed nands.

Some Buying, However, is Going on— Values Held Fairly Steady for Al Grades—~Condition of Other Markets, The Conrse of Commerce. BostoN, Sept. 20.—The total receipts January 1, 1580, com- domestic and 121,843 bales foreign, against 820,645 vags domestic und 80,247 bales of foreign during the correspond- ing period of 1883, Tne volume of business shows an increase over the past fow weeks, but this increase comes principally from the fact that some large sales made previously have just been reported, Several large buyers have been in {he market and taken some good-sized lots, thew object being to get good selections, which they think will be more to their advantage than any lower prices which might result tirough their holaing back for the purpose of break- ing values any further. These buyers urs in many instances paying cash and are thus able to get ull the concessions going. The market reatly shows considerable strength, notwithstanding the depression that has Dbeen brought to bear on it, and it is only in exceptional instances where holders ure weakening, As arule the leading houses are not press- ing ther wool in the least, und many con- signed lot held _considerably above the present market. Some sales made show concessions, but for desirable parcels in good condition values are fully mam- tained. The staple of much of the territory wools is not equal in quality to the last year's clip, and wuere a buyer has the pick of a pile he generally secs 1t is to his advan- tage to get tue good wools while he can. This is the principal reason of considerable of the buying done lately, and the fact that some of the large buye are beginning to operate proves an inducement for others to follow thewr example. That considera- ble firmness is shown by holders is maonifested by their disinchination to reduce prices where bids have beey made within ' cent of theirusking ligure. Some louses when bids are so close have conceded the hulf cent and sold the wool, but wany instances are noted where this would not be done, and the sale of a large block of wool lost in consequence, The situation with maoufacturers con- tinues unchanged, and the goous market is certainly no better. They are generally only lightly supplied with wool, and will have to buy before doing much on heavy weights, but most of them can get along for a num- ber of weeks yet, without buying much of the raw matérial. These large purchases made of late are uudoubtedly for the purpose of stocking up, and so long as they come along onlyn few at a time they have ravher the advantage of the seller. Any free buy- ing in this way, however, would entirely change the tone of the murket, a3 owing to the strong conditions ruling abroad it would not take much to start the *boom” here. The buik of the receipts of the new clip came in_early this year, they footing up 7,000 bags of domestic more than at this date in 1888, The sules 80 far this year show a falling off of 24,000,000 pounds from this date last year, which shows that the stock on the market should be considerably in excess of what it Was a year ago. Cas:imere manufacturers report some new business in the wuy of heavy weights this fall, the generally active demand for cloth- ing ‘inducing dealers to increase their stocks. Worsteds are steady and trade 1s fair i all departments, the general business being up to expectations, Overcoatings rule firm, and some reorders for heavy-weights have been placed. Dress goods are firm and the mills are generally adhering to the recent advance made. Trade is slow with manu- fucturers, but jobbers are placing large antities of goods, and as they are obliged 10 fill up their assortments they are paying the advance. Flannels hola firm, with job- bers busy, but manufacturers report only a moderate’ business as yet. As the auction purchases become reduced the aemand from the mills increases. ‘The movement in cotton goods continues of a quiet, steady nature, with the mills gen- erally selling their product. Brown and bleached sheetings continue steady, with colored goods, such as ticks, demins, etc., rather slow. 'Cottoh flannels are going for- ward frecly in the way of delivery of former orders, while the jobbing demand is also steady. Prints sell well and hold steady, with ginghums fairly steady but seasonably quiet. 1 New York business contintes quiet, al- though a fair jobbing trade is steadily gomng on. ‘A very fair distribution of prints, do- mestics and department goods are being made by the leading jobbers, but at first hands the domand by personal selection is compara- tively hight, although there is a steady call for smull reassortments of seasonable goods by mail and telegraph, and some very liberal orders for certain spring goods are also Dbeing received by the commission houses through their salesmen traveling.in the west and south. Low grade union and cotton-warp cassimeres continue in moderate demand by the clothing trade, but the better rrades are somewhat sluggish. Light weight worsted suitings and trouserings are in lim- ited request, but some duplicate orders for certain makes ure being received. Heavy woolen and worsted suitings are in light de- mand for the renewal of assortments, and there is a fair movement in overcoatings and satinets on accountof back orders. Cloakings, stockinets and jersey cloths contioue in mod- crate request by manufacturers and the jobbing trade. Flannels and blankets ure re- ported to be moderately active in jobbing cir- cles, and a light reorder demand for certain malkes is also reported by agents. Carpets are being jobbed in fair quantities, with skirts uufi woollen and beaver shawis steady. The general movement has been fair in all departments of trade, and in some lines conditions are stronger. The most strength at present is noticeablein the irom market, the improvement having apparently struck all kinds, Pig iron is firm and the domand appears to be safficient to absorb the production, although the output of the furnaces is larger than ever before. Swedish iron continues firm, with rivetco ils advanced $2 per tov. Bars and shapesi re firmer but not quotably higber, Maaufac- tured iron 18 doing better, and prices tena upward. Copper is quiet' and still rather unsettled, Dry goods huve sold fairly 0 jobbing departments, but the bad weather has interfered with trade. Lumber is goiug quite freely iuto use, building operations be- icg carried on quite extensively. Leather holds steady in price and buyers are taking supplies to keep their factories employed au full former rates. Rubber is foeling the ef- fects of a brisk demand, and general values have advanced. Mr. A, H. Alden, of G. A, Alden & Co., leading rubber operators, in speaking of the outiook, says: ‘“‘Buyers have held off in their attempt to force rub- ber down, until now they are obliged to have supplies, The low prices ruling for African grades has discouraged gatherers in Africa, and notwithstanding the generally dull busi: ness donelast year, the world's supply has deoreased 875 tons during that time, Medium gradus are now very scarce, with the out- look unfavorable for getting immediate sup- plies, Nospeculation is noticeable, but man- ufacturers are now obliged to buy to keep their factories going. The flour market is quiet, but values hold steady, and are maintained as buyers are in need of supplies, There is still a steady business doing with jobbers, und fair lines of scasonable fabrics are continually guing into use. ‘I'he brighter weather 1s belpiug retailers, and gives prom- 130 of @ good fall business. Cotton goods are being taken steadily, but in a quiet way, aud values hold up well. Prints continue steady and counsiderable lines are goiug into use, while general oporations foot up well. Spe- clalties in wide priuts are still moving well. Ginghams remain quiet, but some business is still being done in dark fancies. Dress goods sell well with jobbers and hold firm in price, the strong tone on the part of manufacturers being maintained. Flannels are still meet- ing with a good demand from jobbers, but manufacturers report a quiet busincss still, Men’s wear woolens hold tirm, with busi- ness quiet on the part of manufacturers.

Dan relative to the rice growth of the present yoar. The promise of earlier perioas borne out in all of the states except Louisi- In August the latter promised to dis- tance all previous rocords, but owing to un- toward circumstances sinca and now pre- vailing it will not exceed that of last yoar, and many predict a falling away of from 25 to 80 per cent., The largest crops made were those of 1885 ana 1386, which stood respec- tivoly 485,000 and 410,000 barrels, cleaned rice.” The total crop is now placed’ at: At lantic coast states, 200,000 bbls. (323-1bs euch); Louisiana, 825,000 bbls. (200-1bs ench). The product, position and prospoects of the crop in the respective states are as follows : North Carolina.—Acreage about the same as last year. Yiold 15 per cont larger, but Quality ssting on tide-water orop’ fairly under way; uplund not ripe. Planters in good -financial condition and will not part with crops at much if any below present prices, South Carolina.—Acreage slightly under t year. Yield larger, but below the aver- of the pust decade. 'Quality prime. Har- % of early plantings progr & under ble conditions, but not over 2 per cent absolutely safe, balance still in fields. June uplands scarcely ready. Plantors in good position to hold, but disposed to meet fair price, Georgla,.—Acreage as last one-half larger, but below Quality best in many years. Harvesting woll advanced, one-haif crop stacked in fields. Crop will be marketed at reasonable price ut planters strong enough to carry and will nov sacrifice. Louisiana.—Acreage less than last year. Yield disappointing and not likely to equal that of last year, but exceeds the average of the decade.” Quality fair to good, maiuly fair. Harvesting about half over! balance maturing now and through October. Plant- ers are disposed to hold, awaiting final out- turn. Much of the foregoing is of necessity of a This is one of the A considerablo per cent of that Which is harvested is lying or stacked on the fiolds. Large quantities are just maturing or not due until October. I weather suca as they are now having in Louisana will materially injure the yield; on the other hand heavy storms may arise, damaging both quality and quantity. Rice is hardly to be calculated on before it is milled and barrelled for market. 1f all goes well the total production will not vary ma- terially from last vear and if, ns now ised, of zood and prime quality, will be casily marketed at about the present rates, which are under the importing cost of nearly all styles of foreign of equal grade, — T cannot praise Hood's Sarsaparilla half enough,” says a mother whose son, almost blind with scrofula,was cured by this medicine. = Painted the Wrong House. There is a real estate agent living at Kingston, N. Y., who takes a gloomy view of life, and especially of house painters, these days. A few day: ago he hired an artistic house painter to paint a house which he has on his list. But, unfortunately, he gave the nter the wrong number, so that it was the wrong house which received a beautiful and becoming new coat. The agent is receiving a good deal of sympathy, and the man who got his_house painted for nothing is understood to be measurably resigned. of reports Talmage's Sons floe. H year.

To inhale the germs of disease with their daily breath 1s the fate of denizens of malaria-scourged looalities everywhere, The endemic atmospheric poison _way, however, be reft of its venom ana_rendered innoxious by a defensive uso of Hostatter's Stomach Bitters, This pre-eminently safe and effe tive remedy and safeguard not on)y eradi ocates the disease when developed, but en- ables the system to safely brave its as- saults. Kvery physical function is con- firmed in or restored to reguiarity, the cir- culation quiclkened if sluggish, and a bilious habit, which of itself begets & pronenoss to both ' intermittent and remittent types of mslarial disease, where extrinsic atmos- pheric causes exist, powerfully counteracted by this inimitable’ fortifying and defensive agent, which has, moreover, none of the dis- agreeable characterisiics of a drastic cathar- tic or un alkaloid. KFever and ague, dumb ague and ague cake, and the calentura of the isthmus, are conquered by it surely, pleas antly. Rheumatism, neuralgia, gout, kidney and bladder troubles, constipation and indi gestion yield to it.
