COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Oorn and Wheat Bo:h Decline in Price on Weather Reports. OATS FIRM REGARDLESS OF OTHER GRAINS d as Anticipated rengthened Provisions arket, CHICAGO, Sept. 17.—Corn_and rices took a saasp drop, Wheat eak, closing with Deccmber % Corn was steady at a loss of % to O showed a uaegree of stren Decemie closing %c higner. Provisions showed a de- cline of 1 loc. Better weather codditions and the grow- ing bellef that neither quantity nor quality of the wheat yield has suffered apprec.able loss, with lower cables and weakness in corn caused a weak vpening in wheat, De- cember showing a loss of % 1o %c to ) e, at 81%@s2%c. On top of these infiu came anotner bad b.eak Be wheat at Minneapoils and a rush of seliing orders that forcel cember back to si%c before the decline wa Cchecked and some recovery scored by in- fiuential buying brought about by a report of a big export business in flour ana_an improved cash demand. The close steady, with December off %o at s1%GSL) Clearances of wheat and flour were equa to 130,000 bushels, with primary receipts 924,000 bushels, against 121000 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported Teceipts of 561 cars, which with local re- celpts of # cars, none of contract grade, made a total for the thres points of 6 cars, against 1,067 cars last week, and 595 cars' & year ago. Crop damage reports from the country were few and the corn market opened under heavy selling pressure with commission houses In the lead. There was a big trade nearly all session with the late sentiment somewhat divided, There was a show of strength in the closing hour on the pros- pect that frost danger is still imminent @and that the damage to the crop had been underestimated, December corn, which #0ld off at first from 61% to G1%@SIkc, re- acted to 62c, but profit taking by the long holders brought the price back to about the starting polnt, the close being steady at 6i%0, loss of % to %c. Local receipts were 587 cars, with forty-five of contract wheat ruiing lower. showed a loss early with other grains, but ‘shorts covered freely at the ecline and Jocal traders followed, caus- ing considerable strength. The volume of trade improved with the better tone, and cash demand was good. December closed %o higher, at 38%@d9c, a shade below the top, having sold to 38c. Local recelpts were ninety-nine cars. 4 Packing houses turned a weak provision market to firm and some early loss in Jrices was recovered, aithough prices hroughout the list were off.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—Interest in to- day's stock market centered largely around the steel issues and certain other industrial securitias, The crop situation, concerning which farther contradictory reports came to hand, was of secondary imporiance, com- pared with the impression conveyed by the Turther heaviness of steel common, which blished & new low record of iSioc. There was little pressure against Steeel preferred and the 6 per cent bonds were steady, compared witn the pervious day's marked weakness. Another feature of the industrial situation, which was not without intiuence, following hard upom the early | week's developments in United States Realty, was the showing made by the | Btanaard Rope company and the break in | Tennessee Coal, Under tavorable coadi- | tions prices in New York probably would | have shown some advance at the outset, if only that the Bank of Englana's discount rate showed no advance, but persistent selling of Americans by London and the suspension of a prominent Liverpool cot- ton house helped to produce an irregu.ar opening, Buying of Standard Rauway shares by brokers commonly supposed to represent strong Interests together with heavy covering turned the course of the market upward before noon. Alchison was taken in large amounts by a western com- mission house, and some of the stocks ad- ced on buying by brokers, prominent | in these issues recently. Breoklyn Transi concerning which many rumors wefe circ lated, was again irregular. Pracileally all of the mornings improvement was wiped out. In the last hour the| weakness of the industrial group be- came more acute, Tennessee Coal sell- ing oft four points, and Steel common touching the low figure of the day. The:e| were losses in Republic Steel and Pressad Steel Car. The break in Tennessee Coal was not explained. Some of the high grade raflway shares participated in the decline, which was followed by a rally In the course of which prices recovered to a level approaching yesterday's clos>. Steel common made a net decline of % per cent, | and_the preferred was unchangei. The | market closed steady. It develop d afier | the close of the market that much of the selling of Tennessee Coal came from a Fhiladelphta, house and was sald to be bascd on adverse trade reports. London's sales on balance were estimated to be 20,00 shares and purchases were nor- mal._Foreign exchange advanced sharply to 486.25 points, due largely to a demand for bilis to meet maturing n'nety-day ivans. A feature of the day was the sale ol 110 shares of United States Shipbuildiug at $1_per share, o subtreasury made another shipment of $100,000 to New Orleans, In addition to which further direct shipments to the west and southwest were reported. The banks reported a loss of $3,000,000 as against a gain of $1,149.00) in the same period last week. The bond market showed some slight ir- regularity in sympathy with the wide fiuc- tuations in United States Steel. Total sales. par value, $1,420,000. United States s and 014 4s advanced 4 per cent on the last call. Following the New Atchison do 4. Bal. do ple Canadian Pacific. Central of N. J Ches. & Ohlo.

NEW YORK, Sept. 17.~COTTON—The market opened weak at unchanged prices to a decline of § to 9 points, and at first showed a little further loss umder the disappointing cables and liquidation, but almost immediately rallied and during most of the balance of the session rule tairly active and strong on heavy cover- ing, bull support and buying from out- sidé sources, following _further adverse woather news. Not only were ‘the tem- peratures over the belt generally low, but [fost was reported in one section of Texas and continued cold was indicated for the northern portions of the belt. The weather chart also showed heavy precipitations again in some sections of the belt, and, taken altogether, the news was character- ized on the floor as downright bad. Prices {In the early morning hour had reached a |level net 1 to 11 points lower, were ad- | vanced in" spite of continued’ opposition by certain prominent bull interes d the realizing that the gains natu tracted, until a level net 1 to 28 points higher 'had been attained, with September selling at 11.48c; October, 10.07c; January, 9.96c. Then offerings became heavier and in the last hour there was-heavy selling by a local bear interest, which, in con- nection with realizing, was heavy enough to cause a decline almost as rapid as the advance, and the market was finally barely steady, 3 to 7 points lower on all options excopt’ September, which was 15 poinf higher. All day sentiment here was ne vous and unsteady. Sales, 5,000 bales.

There was a keen demand for Punta Arenas wool and all the offerings were sold at an advance of from 5 to 1% per cent above the July prices. A good sup- ply met with a good demand.

Several trains were late in arriving and that fact prevented an early close. There were quite a few corn fed steers on hand this worning and some of them were of better quality than that have been received here in some little time. price_of the day was $.7, which is also the highest price for gome little time. The market on desirable corn feds could be quoted firm, and even the short feds sold (o as good advantage as they did yesterday. The fact that Chicago was quoted slow to a_dime lower did not seem to have much effect upon the market here. The demand for cow stuff was apparently fully equal to the supply and all grades sold In just about the same notches they aid yestérday. Trading could not be quoted as exactly active, but still the cattle kept moving toward the scales and the bulk of them was disposed of in good season. The same as hasgbeen the case all the week, good stuff was scarce and consequently in the best demand, Bulls, venl calves and stags showed no particular change. The stocker and feeder market took on considerable life this morning, and trading was active with prices a liitle stronger, There were about 100 cars shipped to the country yesterday, which cleaned up the supply on hand in fairly good shape, and | made speculators anxious for fresh cattle | this morning. The good heavy cattle of | course sold to good advantage, but still | even the commoner kinds were casler to dispose of than they were yesterday and brought fully as good prices. There was a fair sprinkling_of we beef steers included in ’um ofterings, but ackers took them at just about steady v HEIFERS. 2. vees 605 235 . 638 170 ..1280 2 15 1 BTOCKLKS AN 60 3 50 70 325 S 8 u 2 § calves. 5 heifers 57 cows. 21 calves. 4 calves. 1 co 11 cows. 1 bull. b feeder: 6 feeders 3 cows. 1 cow 1 cow 1 cow 4 cows. 5 feeders.. e 2 THEERTBES 17 cows. 1 cow. 1 cow 1 cow . 880 4 cows. i J_and J.

Packers started in bidding 6@10c lower, but sales- men were not willing to take off over a nickel, and for that reason trading was rather slow from start to finish. As a gen- eral thing the market was only about a nickel lower, but the same as yesterday there was considerable uneveness to the trade, 8o that some sales looked much bet- ter than others. About half of the hogs were late in arriving and that fact of course helped to make trading slow. The heavy hogs eold largely from $5.60 to $.65, medium welghts went from $5.65 to $5.70 and lights sold from $5.70 to $.50.

Packers, however, were all very anxlous for suppliés. as they have not been able to get near enough this week to fill their orders. For that reason it Is safe to_quote the market on all grades of both fa: sheep and lambs active and strong. The demand for feeders was also in good shape as a number of buyers were on hand walting for the trains to arrive. The mar- ket on all desirable grades of both feeder sheep and lambs was safely steady and something strictly choice might have sold better advantage.

GOSSIP ON COMMISSION ROW Think of the Clder and Nuts to Come After the Cold Winter is Here. It will be well to consider, while the cold, cold winter and the hard, hard coal are taking up so mueh of people’s thoughts, that there will be nuts to eat and apples, and cider to drink, by way of mitigating hardships. The cider may be only water, burned sugar and chemicals, but the nuts and apples are the real thing. The new almonds and the new English walnuts are to be In this month and the Brazil nuts are already housed In the wholesale places. 80 get your hammers ready to knock on the poor little shell game. The Brazils are new by courtesy and custom, for the weather works on a differ- ent schedule down there, and by the time the first of the crop reaches us here the excitement of the thing has somewhat sub- sided there and the citzens are looking for new buds on the trees. The opening price 1s 12t cents. No. 1 soft shell English wal- nuts are at 16 cents, and nearly all in, whils the hard shells are closing out at 13% cents. The figure Is rather high. - While ®00d American nut ‘eaters were proudly eating the walnut as a fellow citizen from California, and the Anglomaniacs were doing the nut as something from the other side, In most cases lately it has been the dark hulled nut of Chile which has bees } fliling the breach, because the western crop was high priced and short. The South American walnut Is dark of hue, becauss the {mmigration officials will not stand for bleaching. While people are sticking the live bofled peaches iIn the preserwing jar, it is inter- enting to observe that California has sent out 300 more cars of that fruit this year than ever before, The total ear number for all fruit this year has been 5,000. Good oranges are probably hard to buy In San Francisco, NOAH'S PIGEON COMES NOT Bird Stays Away and Groce Butchers’' Plenic is Regarded Certain, and Noah of the Retail Grocers' association, he being disguished as Harry Fischer—and u quite ‘effective disguise, too—has fafled to get back his pigeon, and sd claime it a cinch that ground has appeared whereon a plenfe may be held. The other birds sent out have all sailed back to the ark. Ha expects to get a telegram from the last bird any day giving the location and depth of dryness. The place, says Noah, will at least have all the advantages of Mount Ararat—drainage and pure air, with an extensive water view, and In addition will have a number of distinctly modern amusement features. A tent show will be glven and in addition to the other things the butchers will barbecue two steers. A foot ball game, either between Creighton and the Commercial college team or the Dodge Light Guards and Council Bluffs, is to be played. The only thing that Mount Ararat lacks, says Mr. Noah Fischer, is a modern heating plant, and that diwad- vantage will be met by large bonfires, ‘which will be fed from the superstructure of the ark or from convenient private wood piles. Weather Forecaster Welsh is the rain- bow in this particular case, and Father Noah has seen it, that is, Mr. Welsh, and is assured that rain s a practical impossi- bility. Mr. Fischer would hardly have been led to think this by former experi- ences, but is Informed that the conditions are such. THREE WATCHES ARE STOLEN Two Time Pleces Taken from One Place and One from An. other nt Night.
