WILLSON, Local Forecast Officlal.. PP = s FASTERN MARKETS. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. NEW YORK, Sept. 22.—The day’s market was largely given over to what are known as the spectaltles. There was an upward rush of prices in these stocks at the opening, but the evidence of weakness in Sugar, which doml- nates the epecialtie eales. The times 80 day. Traders who had turned bullish on su- gar on the supposition t.at the long reaction was over, made up their minds that the recent San Franciseo for thirty tone was rather heavy, and-at rise was simply a campaign against the shorts | and turned sellers again. The railroad lists were rather sluggish and reeisted the depression in the speciaities, ex- cept for a few stock: The Pacifics were not- ably heavy, especially Union Pacific preferred. This was partly due to the fact that London had onjy just arrived at the conclusion quite definitely formed long ago in Wall street that the dividend on the preferred stock would be only 1 per cent. The announcement of the dividend caused a rally of about a point, the shorts having evidently awaited the event to cover. Pacific was unexplained, unless as realizing since the second week's statemen* showed earn- ings over $36,000 in excess of last year's high level. Northwest's August statement show- ing a gross increase of unprecedented earnings was responsible strength 1a_the Grangers. The process of re- lief of the New York money market was con- tinued to-day by further large engagements of gold from London, by a debit balance agalnst the sub-treasury of $1,27144t and by demands upon domestic centers. New York exchange in-Chicago rose from 10c discount to 10 prem- fum, call money in London rising % per cent, open market discounts there rose 4 to % per cent, and the Bank of England raised its min- imum rateof discount from 2%@3 per cent, after baving borrowed largely from the market- to Talse the rate to the level of fts own. The demand for sflver dollars for shipment to the West has led to the sub-treasury giving notice that the dollars must be pa:a for in silver cer- tificates or treasury notes, since the supply of coin has been nearly reduced to the amount of outstanding silver certificates. The bond market continued comparatively dull, but prices were well held. Total sales ‘were §1,220,000. United States seconds declined % and the new fours %, while the old fours coupon advanced % in the bid price. CLOSING STOCKS. Atchison . . 19%) Do prefd .. Do prefd . % 5t P M & M.

NEW YORK, Sept. The Evening Post's London financial cablegram says: The stock markets here remain lifeless. They opened dull to-day on a rise In the discount rate of the Bank' of England from 2%@3 per cent. The rise surprised the market, the advance not be- ing expected till next week. The movement, however, is justified by the bank figures, and the fact’ that the bank is now cbtaining con- trol of the market is shown by borrowing by the market from the bank having commenced to-day, the bank charging 3 per cent for four days. ' The banks and discount houses raised money rates in sympatiy with the bank rate and the London rate is now 2% per cent. Americans alone were good during the great part of the day, but they fell away at the close, chiefly on'French selling. The feature was ‘a sharp relapse In Unlon Pacific, whose dividend is anxiously awalited. Argentines were easler on unsatfsfactary cables concerning the boundary question, byt I am informed in the best quarters that large buying orders came from Buenos Ayres to-day. Brazils were better on'improvement in exchange. Spanish fours were very strong. Negotia- tlons are reported with Rothschild for a fresh Spantsh loan of about £5,000,000. It 8o it will be on the security of the’ Almaden quickstiver mines. Detafls of the gold movement for the week shows the sale of £427,000 in bar gold and of £264,000 in Amerfcan coin, the export of £100,- 000 pounds to New York of £100,000 to Egypt; £10,000 to South America, of £15,000 to Santos, and of £20,000 to Batavia, and the receipt of £30,000 from Australia. A'large bank in Hamburg is said to have lost about £50,000 in consequenice of the advances made on forged securities. axe o NEW YORK GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. | ' CHICAGO, Sept. 22.—All the weakness which | marked the close of yesterday's Wheat mar- ket had disappeared at the opening to-day, and was replaced by strength exceeding that shown for several weeks. Nearly all the fea- tures influéncing the market were distinctly in favor of the buying side. Liverpool was etrong and -higher at the opening, and con- | tinued to advance during the day. Parls was | also_higher, showing an advance of 25 centimes. Duluth and other outside markets reported materfally higher prices for the cash article. Nerthwestern receipts were as reported, 351 cars, against 444 last week and 1134 a year ago. The figures were afterward corrected to 951 | cars, ‘but the correction had apparently no | effect on prices. Opening trades for December | ranged from 63%@#c, compared Wwith yester- day's closing price of 3%e. This was about at call price, and selling | against those privileges caused the market to hesitate for a short time, a few sales belng made at 63%@63%c. That was the low point of the day. The demand of the shorts, which was good at the opening, grew heavler as the session progressed, and &s no great amount of Wheat came out a steady upward movement took place, which did not stop until 64%c had been bid. At those figures holders began to let go more freely, and the advance was checked. Some selling was caused by reports of rains in the winter belt which were badly Deeded, and receipts yesterday and to-day ot 220,000 'bushels brought here for mixing pur- poses, and which was expected to bring to de 1,000,000 bushels or more of low grade ‘heat, ‘was also a slight incentive to sell, but _not_enough to affect prices much. Late in the day the market, which for some time previous had been rather quiet, became active again on reports from New York that_eighty boatloads had been worked for export. Private | London cables reported poor Russian crop prospects. Buying orders became very heavy after that and offerings became still more re- stricted. December ciosed 1%@1%c and Sep- tember 1%c higher. Corn was steady, with a somewhat better trade. Shorts were free buvers and there was a good speculative demand for the long ac- count. The market was influenced somewhat by Wheat. The close was %c higher. There was a large trade in Oats and prices again advanced sharply. Commission houses which have recently been large sellers bought y, and the elevator people and shorts » also free buyers. The cash demand was excellent. 2 Provisions were affected by the firmness of grain and acted as a check on short selling, and although the demand was light_offerings were more ®o. December pork closed 2lgc higher, December lard a shade higher and January ribs 2%c higher. 3 The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles— Open. High. Low. Close. Wheat.
