CHICAGO, Sept. 6.~ Heavy liquidation, to- | gether with lower cables and increased ship- | ments from foreign countries, caused weakness | in wheat here to-day. Late in the day a re- | vival of damage reports from the Northwest, | | however, nearly offsai these bearish influences, the December delivery closing with o loss af | only %c. Corn was a shade higher. its | were Off 4. Rrovisions Were Tl4c higher to | 173c lower, % At the start the wheat market was deddedly weak, the December option being down e to lsc to is@le at §105% to $1 06%. The initial décline ‘was due to general eelling, with only | a moderate demand. Lower cables, heavy | worid's shipments and liberal receipts in the |'Northwest were the influences that brought on ihe seliing pressure. Heavy offerings by an | nfiuential operator was a feature of the early | session. Pit traders were apparently discon- | certed by the action of the big holders, and | the - result was quite free profit-taking. Be- | fore the declining tendency could be checked December £0ld off to §1 05%. During the day Teports | were received from Minneapolls to the effect that rains in the Northwest were much more general than indicated by the Weather Bureau reports. These advices tended to check | the downward trend of prices. The weekly ! | Government report also was bullish, the claim being made that wet weather had interfered with harvesting and had injured the grain in | shock in Minnesota. In North Dakota dam- age by rust and smut was becoming more pro- | nounced. A partial confirmation of these ad- vices was the strength at Minneapolis. Dur- ing the last hour of trading most of the early loss was regained on covering by. sherts, De- cember advancing to $108%. The market closed firm with December at §1 0%4@1 0614, Corn_closed firm at about the best prices of the day.

Owing to & break in the ranks of the strik- ing stock yards cmployes there was more snap | to trading In provisions than had been mani- fested for some time.

The world's shipments last week were as follows, in quarters: Russian, 459 tine, 133,000; dian, 199,000; Australian, , 000. Chicago declined from Sl 06% to $1 05% | and_ closed at $1 06%. Minneapelle teported Bood buying, but the Northwest sold December at Chicago, The Chicago wires of E. F. Hutton & Co. said: "It was a very me;uju mar- ket, Liverpool was sharpl lower on large world's shipments Piae increased | Russian _offeringe This made a weak | opening here and the prevailing tone was heavy until later in the day, when it turned strong, and most of the declin2 was regained. It was & natural reaction after three ys' Dbreak. | There was & revival of Northwest damage complaints, which were confirmed by the weckly Government repoft. They not oniy maintain | previous estimates of damage, but say the | injury bas increased and uew estimates of the crop will be necessary, The whole’ situa- tion is sensational and hardly favorable to a continued bear market, but of course it will depend on the volume of Northwestern move- ment as to stocks accumulating rapidly or not.”” In _this market there was nothing doing. The Exchanke was almost deserted, owing to the Knights Templar parade and the day was practicaily a holiday. Futures were from 1G2c lower, but recovered somewhat as the day went on.

Sept. 6, 1964.—For the information of many iniquiring friends I publish the following in re- iy to a letter addressed to me DY a gentie- n'In" the South criticising my tecent pub- licly expressed change of opinion 1a regard to the cotton market. A 1 may say that the developments of to-day do not lead me to modify my expectation of substantially lower prices for cotion durmg the period when receipts are likely to be heaviest, 200 1 think that thoss who Bave cottom which they must dispose of within next two months will do wisely to accept current quota- ns. NEW YORK, Sept. 3, 1904 Dear Sir: 1 reply particularly to your letter received to-day, In which you that recent change of front in rexard to the prob- able course of the cotton market will ‘.prho me of all foillowing and any capacity of mar- ket leadership in future. In reply thereto, I bex to say, first, that I do not asvire to so-called market leadership, llld think it a detriment rather than an advan- 50 far as it affects a speculafor's money- making capacity. It burdens him with a moral | responsibility for other people’s transactions i 3 5 5 i i i i i i i i gi i ; i at gk § i i (1 : j it % il il koL 35 | g % Eiii i i i i : 53 . %i § L) i | § E L : : | £
