WILLSON, Local Forecast Official. EASTERN MARKETS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—There was a con- tinuation of apparently urgent liquidation on the Stock Exchange this morning, caused by covering of short stocks, which speedily wiped out the recoveries of Saturday and carred | prices sharply below the lowest level of last Friday for nearly all standard stocks. But the pressure of liquidation seemed to be relleved by noon and there was a disposition to pick up stocks quietly and to accord support to weak spots, notably St. Paul. The dealing in 044 lots in some of the standard dividend payers also became quite a feature, indicating & supply of money for investment, notwith- standing the stiffness of the local call money market. Weakness in some of the industrial speciulties caused the market to wase off again before the close, but the last prices of the rail- | roads were in many cases at sharp recoverles from the lowest. Nevertheless marked net | losses resulted from the day’s trading, owing to the severity of the pressure early jm the | day. There was continued apprehension over the outlook for money, ut the Go\'ernmenl’ crop report and the snow storms in the West were also material factors. The crop report, though bearish on the corn crop as a whole, showed sharp deterioration for Kansas, Ne- braska and Jowa. This, coupled with the snow storms in the corn belt, was very largely in- dicated In the weakness of Rock Island, Bur- There was ho ac- t lopment to account for a decline of apprehension over the money market outlook, and how far this feeling was connected with a reported conference of leading bankers is not certain. There was & growth of a conviction that there is a large avallable supply of money at least outside of New York City. Money rates are easy at interior points, and there is even buying of commercial paper in the New York market by Western banks. It is quite possible also that a larger amount of the new Government 3s might be made available both for purposes of circulation and as security for Government deposits in the banks than has yet been the case In the event of any real . Nevertheiess the drain rom the banks to the sub-treasury on of subscriptions to the loan continue: of accoun and the sub-treasury was even a creditor at the clearing house to-day on account of an accumulation of drafts from interor depository banks in which Government deposits have ex- ceeded their security by reason of heavy in- ternal revenue collections, There were rumors all day of engagements of gold for fmport, but none of these were confirmed. The easier tone of the money market and the consequent recov- ery in the stock market were apparently dus to other causes. The large forelgn demand for wheat and the evidence of underlying strength in the Wheat market in face of the bearish Government crop report had some influence in the stock market.

LONDON MARKET, NEW YORK, Sept. 12.—The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here were generally dull to-day on the Austrian news, on the report of French occu- pation of Fashoda and on a telegram stating that the Chilean Government has called out 5000 men of the National Guard. The collapse of Argentine stocke was particularly marked. Consols were also slow. Americans opened flat, turned weaker on seliing here and closed at about the lowest on the continuance of New York. Later business was assisted by heavy purchases by Parls and the Cape. Gold was in very strong demand at 77s 1}d.

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.—Lower Liverpool cables, big receipts in the Northwest and the increase in the world's visible supply and the increase of the shipments from Russia, which seemed to discredit the reported crop disaster in that country, started wheat a trifie lower. The corn market was also weak and had a depressing Trade was dull and longs sprinkling of selling orders from the outside. Later, however, it found that the North- west markets were holding strong and higher in spite of big receipts thers, and that both cash and futures were advancing. Thal gether with light speculative offerings alarmed the early sel re, lers and there was some heavy covering for a time, which turnal prices upward, The statistical news was very bull- ish and was largely instrumental In keeping the price on the advance as it came to the knowledge of the traders. The close was ¢ l;‘l[her for September and December rose %@ c. ‘Warm weather, large receipts and an increase in the visible supply weakened corn. The Goy- ernment report was also = disappointment to the bulls. The pit sentiment was very bearish and there were few buyers on hand to take the offerings. The close was %c lower on the day. Oats held firm under a good demand for Sep- tember from shippers. Trade was quite active. May gained Hc. Provisions were firm on_an extensive de- mand, together with heavy buying of lard and ribs.

HIDES, TALLOW, WOOL AND HOPS. The circular of W. B. Sumner & Co. says: “To a certaln extent there seems to be a slight improvement in the Hide trade. Sales have been made at full values to the tanners, quite large lots have been shipped to the East on orders, and to-day there are small stocks in the market. ““The war created a demand for certain lines of leather, and in consequence Hides have been firm." We might add also that Hides at this season are more desirable on account of the condition and short hair. The high values for harness leather have created a demand for the heavier grades of steers at liberal fig- ures and it looks as though the present values will remain for a time at least. ' For the local market we quote: ‘““Wet Salted Heavy Steers are in demand for harness and skirting. ‘‘Wet Salted Medium and Light Steers are fairly active. ‘Wet Salted Cows sell quite readily, ““Tallow continues fairly active at full prices. The dry season in California nas lessened the output of Tallow, and the supplies which are now coming in the market are hardly suffi- clent for the demand of trade. The better grades of Tallow are freely bought. Clean, hard Tallow {s in demand and No. 2 stock fairly active.’ HIDES AND SKINS—Culls and_brands sel} about ic under the quotations, Heavy salted figers, o, medium, sc: light, S4e: Cow- hides, 8%@9%c; Stags, 6c; salted Kip, 9c; Calf, 9¢; dry Hides sound, 16@15%c; culls and brands, 12@13c; dry Kip and Veal, lsc: dry Calf, 11@sc; Sheepskins, shearlings, ' 16@%c each; short wool, 30@40c each; medium, 60@80c; long wool, 90c@$1 10 each; Hopse hides, salt, $2 25 for large and $1@1 75 for small; Colts, '50c; Horse- hides, dry, $1 50@1 76 for large and $1 for small, TALLOW—No. 1 rendered, 3%@3%o per | No. 2, 24@2%c; refined, 4%@4%c; Grease, 2c. 60 In a case, 9%c; c; 5-1b pails. 12 in a n’a case, $%o; EM»“; fWOgb;g‘nl clip, fimlthseml wfimn, @1 ree Northern, ;2}!« pring cl ut!
