Richmond dispatch. [volume] (Richmond, Va.) 1884-1903, 1891-09-09

Tho enormous receipts which had accumu-
lated since Saturday were the principal reason
for a drop Of 116al34c. in the price OF wheat at
the opening OF business this morning. They
amounted 90 1853 carloads here, 500 at
Minneapolis, ami 965 at Duluth. Tho most
palpabls effect OF the heavy run Of wheat OF late
is that the ca-h article, which about three
weeks ago commanded a premium over the
December delivery, to-day sold ut a discount or
nearly %. per bushel. The opening range Tor
December was 99ag9Lc, against Sl.OO9sa
Sl.0O1i az the close on Saturday. There was
heavy business done Ia the pit for the first hall
hour, by which time prices had declined 10
9694c. for December, but although that Was the
point at which buyers had the protection oi tho
puts II did not bring in enough Of that business
TO LIT the price more than &c. up 10 about II
o'clock, and in fact IL dipped on one oil the
counter reactions to oS14c., and remained Tor
some time Dioless and heavy AT around that
price.
The most encouraging point TO holders was In
the movement OF wheat from the seaboard,
which was over 900, 900 bushels. Tho cash de-
maud improved also and allowed OF some good
business between here and tho seaDoard, and
tho increase In tho visible supply was only about
half as much as WAS looked Tor. These bits OF
news caused stay in the downward course and
n reaction 10 $3.50, the market closing at 9sasc.,
or PC. lOwor than on Saturday. The corn ma ket
was nervous nc the opening OF the session. IL
was pulled In downward direction by the re-
cepts since Saturday, amounting 10 SlT car
loads. II was drawn upward by the cool weather
throughout the corn-bot and reports OF the con-
dition Of tho crops Of Wisconsin and Iowa.
The former was said TO promise not
over half crop, and third OF
the crop Of tho latter, II was
reported, Swould require thirty days more OF
good, warm weather to mature IL, while the ave-
rage condition had declined from 90c. 10 SAC.
The opening was over o wider range OF prices
There were free sellers o. September at oSc,
but no buyers at over 07j4ad1lec. October vas
offered at from 69c. down 10 56l9c. There was q
uf.hr N, - tgl. ala
readily tho first offerings were absorbed. The
Dit was palpably In fear Of the dealings OF the
clique, and Immediately after the nrst brush OF
activity was over the scalpcrs took their cue
from what they could discover OF the movements
OF the mauipulators, The market had many
current fits OF alternate strength and weakness,
selling as high as 59@sc. and down TO
5ac, but In the end In rested az
5Sstc.. or only lSc. decline since Saturday.
Oats were dull, and the fluctuations were mar
row. There were 93S cars Of receipts since
Saturday. Provisions started on strong, aud for
time II looked like boom. October pork sold
at from sll.12lS TO &11.271e In very few min
utes. Then tho longs attempted % realize but
found few buyers, and the selling pressure
rapidly increased, when tho market weakened
and soon went all 10 pieces. October declined 10
$1,000. There was rally 70 Sl0.SO, but the
pressure was renewed, and the market again
broke, going this time to S10.55, and tho close
was only 3l.c. higher. Tho packers were FREQ
sellers on tho early bulge, but when the break
came they tried 10 stop u. when u started
down, however, IL met a vast number OF stop-iots
ORDERS and the executions OF these demoraized
IL. Pork closed with a loss compared with satur-
days close OF 55a62itc. Lard lost i21tai7ltc.,
and ribs 2111c.
