Excepting Corn, Which Declines on the

CHICAGO. Sept. 9-It was almost stagnation
to-day on tie Board of Trade The general
feeling seemed to be that while the cholera
shadow is hanging over the market there
can be little activity and no material i'm
provement Wheat closed with about 70
gain; corn with Nc loss; oats are about %c
higher and provisions moved up several
points.
Wheat, which was strengthened aIlittle by
heavy exports, the falling off in the local
receipts and the small proportion which
graded contract, was extremely slow all
through the session. The traders seemed to
be absorbed watching the progress OF the
cholera. There was a report from the North
west that farmers were storing their wheat
rather than sell at present prices.
Corn was weak and lower early, mainly
on the absence OF frost last night and re-
ports that the crop was maturing rapidly
to free selling of long corn and short sellers
were pretty active for a time, causing a net
foss in price o 15c.
Oats sympathized strongly with corn, fol-
lowing that cereal closely all day.
There was a fairly good trade in provis-
ions without any violent action in prices.
Compared with last night pork is TIC
higher, lard is from 215c to sc up, and ribs
from TIC to l0c.

A GENERAL ADVANCE.
Industrials and Specialties Prom
inent in the Movement.
A REVIVAL IN R. T. A FEATURE.
Jersey Central and Reading Show Activity
and Strength.
THE GOULD SHARES ALL RULE WEAK

NEW YORK, Sept. 9.-The stock market
was again principally professional to-day.
New England became less promin ent in the
market, though there was no light thrown
on the intention of the management st.
Paul gave no response whatever to the
declaration of the dividend, and while it
kent within the narrowest limits during the
entire dav, it was allowed to fall below 81
even in the face of the strength displayed
by the other prominent stocks The feeling
on the coal shares was better and Jersey
Central was again pushed up on light
transactions while Reading still led the list
in point of activity and gathered strength
as the day wore away. One of the most
prominent features of the day as the re-
vival of interest in Richmond and West
Point, some activity in it being accom-
panied by fractional advance, but like all
other movements during the day, it was
spasmodic and soon died away. Among the
industrials, Distillers, General Electric,
Lead and Sugar were paid most attention,
all rising about per cent, put later sinking
into the general duilness and stagnation.
The opening was generally at lower fig
ures than those OF last evening, but there
houses were sellers and London quotations
were lower, and while dullness and stagna-
tion early became the principal features of
the general market, the strength OF the
leaders soon impaired firm tone to the
whole list. Among the specialties which
scored handsome gains were Evansville and
Terre Haute, which rose from l4O to 15l,
Minneapolis and st. Louis preferred and
New York and Northern preferred. The
Gould stocks were prominent in the early
dealincs !or strength, but later in the day
all displayed weakness, Western Union in
particular The close, considering the
pressure was quiet but firm with most
stocks only slightly changed from last night.
Railroad bonds were more animated, but
there was if anything, less feature than
usual of late, the animation of a Jew issues
being the only prominent feature.
Government bonds were dull and firm.

CHEESE DRIFTING UPWARD.

Ohio Makers Say Prices Are Going to Be
Higher = An Easier Tone in Sugar
Grain Steady and Provisions Weak
Latest Crop Gossip-No Radical Changes
in Prices.
FRIDAY, Sept 9.
A good trade was experienced to-day in
nearly all lines of merchandise, the move
ment in country produce being especially
good, as usual to Friday. There were no
radical price changes, however, and no
symptoms or indications of any excepting
in cheese, which showed stronger upward
drift than was noted in the last report.
Advices were received by dealers from
Ohio factories to hold stock firmly, as prices
were likely to be higher. Grain was little
steadier. groceries were steady, with
slightly easier tone in sugar, provisions were
weak and others unchanged.
llThe market is glutted with fruit and prices
were never lower all round than at present.
Refined sugar in matter Of movement
shows about former characteristics, says
New York paper. There is some demand,
but manly of q perfunotory nature, as
buyers may be compelled to take up odd
parcels, and business in the aggregate Is.
slow and unsatisfactory.
Several New York State canners report
that corn is backward in their vicinity, and
that the pack this season is unlikely to be
equal to previous calculations.

IN THE IRON TRADE.
The Volume of Business Increasing
and Prices Looking Up.
ANOTHER BIG LIST OF SALES.
Scrap Iron Is Firmer and Old Iron Rails
Are Higher.
PIG ABOUT UNCHANGED IN PRICES

FRIDAY, Sept. 9.
The sales for some time past have shown
up remarkably well. The mills that have
been idle, undergoing repairs and adjusting
the scale of wages, are gradually starting
up and will soon be running steadily with
or without the scale. The demand for
Bessemer, steel billets and gray forge has
been large. Sales the past two weeks
amount to ia, 435 tons. Values are prac-
tically unchanged, prompt delivery COM
manding the top figures; later deliveries are
stances and the views Of dealers. As usual,
scripttons.
The Outlook Bright
Producers will have to start out this fall
with considerable dead weight in the shape
of accumulated stocks against them, but the
outlook is certainly encouraging, there be-
ing increased inquiries, good deal of bust.
ness actually in hand and more in prospect.
Taking all things into consideration, there
fore. the trade has good reason for feeling
cheerful, although it is perhaps
too much to expect that the improvements
will con tinue without reaction. The curtail-
ment of production since the 1st of July
caused q shortage in finished material,
which, of course, will be overcome as the
mills get to work, although with such q good
start it is quite probable that full activity
will be maintained to the close of the year
unless something unexpected occurs. There
have been some good-sized orders, and some
buyers who bought a few weeks ago express
O willingness to duplicate their orders upon
the same terms, but the leading producers
are firmly auhering to present prices for de-
Hveries during the next few. weeks, and are
not disposed to accept orders excepting at
full prices.
Temper of the Market
There is considerable inquiry for most de-
scriptions of building material. Scrap iron
advanced during the week, with increased
sales. Old iron and steel rails are on the
mp grade, with offerings light. In new steel
rails the demand is principally for limited
amounts at unchanged prices. The amount
Of raw iron and steel required to complete
the new buildings now under contract is
enormous, and in general the volume of
business present and prospective is largely
in excess Of midsummer expectations.
