This absorption has not only Drought

taken up much of the surplus and relieved
trade of any selling pressure. Roche has
returned from the Northwest and brings
gloomy account of the situation there and
says that in many sections OF Southern

Corn opened lower and weak for time,

Flour in the Northwest.

MINNEAPOLIS. MINN., Sept. 22.-Tne North
toestern Miller says: The flour output was
practically unchanged last week, attaining
almost the 200, 0o0-barrel mark. The weeks
production was 19s, 800 barrels, averaging 49,
Jos barrels daily, against 1874 barrels the
previous week, $50 barrels for the CORE
spondtng time in 1884, and l6i, $40 barrels in
1880. Nineteen mills were in operation
w ednesday and they were grinding at
the rate Of about $4,000 barrels per "a hours
Most OF them are using little new wheat
the proportion varying from to 20 per cent
and as far as can be ascertain ed
1t Is working very favorable, In
fact some millers think that the -four
made partly from new wheat is better than
that from old wheat alone. While the sales
of flour for the past week have probably
been equal to the output there is nc snap to
the market. Some of the heavier concerns
sold in excess OF their production while
others did not do 80 wen. The domestic
trade was rather better than the foreign In
order to sell, however, It is necessary to &C.
cept pretty low prices and millers who are
disposed to hold up quotations are given q
cold shoulder. Foreigners bid largely for
patent but usually want it at figures 6d0ls
below the views OF the millers, Bakers and
lowigrades are pretty dull. Freight rates
are higher and work against the exporting
business. Direct exports for the week were
81, $40 barrels against 1858 barrels for the
week before.

FOUNDRY AND FORGE IRONS
Firmer at All Distributing Points-Bad Re-
ports From London.

ports From London.
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-[SpeclaLJ 1.-The Iron
Age says: From practically every important
distributing point of foundry and forge
irons come reports of firmer market This
is due primarily to the attitude of the lead
ing Southern furnace companies, who have
marked up their prices 25c per ton. As yet
there is very little evidence that they are
making any sales, but it is pretty clear that
buyers are taking a little more interest in
the market and are more readily picking up
what bargains are offered. For Immediate
work makers of soft steel billets, East and
West still secure pretty fair prices In the
East business in bars is somewhat disap-
pointing and plates are only moderately 40
tive.
LONDON, Sept. 22.-The movement in prices
of warrants has been downward, and the
mark ct is at present in a weak and spiritless
condition. Scotch sold at Ais 4d, Cleveland
at 39S 80 and hematite at 49s. Stocks in store
have been further reduced to 3S3, 900 tons
Scotch and 1000 tons Cleveland, but that
fact is Offset by the unfav orable condition OF
the man u iactured iron and steel trades and
the depression in the Clyde ship building
industry. In the latter line there are now
1900 idle workmen. There are now 78 fur
naces in operation in Scotland. Statements
of last years business of several concerns
are very unfavorable. The Round Oak
Works show a loss of Els 192: Palmer's Ship
building Works, f22, 100. and the Steel Com
pany of Scotland S13,0G0. Losses are at.
tributed chiefly to low prices.

GRAIN Is EASY

And the Demand for Flour Is Improving
Hay Firmer and New York Cheese
Higher-Sugar Somewhat Easier-Pro-
visions Weak-Gossip and Quotations.
THURS DAY, Sept. %.
No new features of prominence were
noted in local mercantile circles to-day.
Trade was fair and prices were unchanged.
Grain was a little easier, according to the
bids and offers on Change, but it was ad-
mitted that no one of the cereals, excepting
possibly rye could be laid down here at the
prices bid. The demand for flour has i'm
proved somewhat, as it always does about
this season, and hay is little frmer under
comparatively light receipts. Provisions
continue heavy and some OF the quotations
will pro badly be revised downward Satur-
day. Groceries and dairy products are
about unchanged, though sugar is a shade
easier and New York cheese fraction
higher.
The demand for refined sugar has moder-
ated, and refiners are making deliveries
more promptly: still the unusual demand for
granulated keeps that grade backward. The
manufacture is now virtually limited to cane
sugar, the assortment of which Is by no
means complete. The supply should be equal
to requirements until the crop of Louisiana
Is at hand next month, which crop meets a
portion of the demand. A few English re-
fined are on the way here, but the American
granulated still remains cheapest. all things
considered. Refners have been busy trying
to obtain beet sugars now detained In port
This detention may necessitate the running
of ref1neries entirely on cane sugars for the
time being, but the American Sugar Refining
Company is sufficiently well supplied with
such to meet any ordinary demand for re-
fined. Large receipts of Cuba cane sugars
are noted at New Orleans for supplying the
river districts with refined sugars. European
markets are comparatively steady in view
Of the cessation of demand from America
Crop Expert Prime says A correspondent mt
of mine who has recently been over the
entire corn belt reports that he has not seen
since 1872 such an uneven and spotted corn
crop as is on the ground to-day. We need
all of this month, without any more frost
think, to give us 70 per cent of crop. The
spring wheat thrashings have been more
or less delayed recently by rain. The crop
is disappointing in yield and quality, aris-
ing from the premature ripening OF the
grain by sudden hot weather in August.
Rains all over the winter wheat belt in the
last fortnight have put the ground in ex-
cellent @ on dition for seeding and the gen.
eral seeding OF winter wheat has begun
Everything now points to the conclusion
that the crop will go into the ground earlier
and in better shape than it did last autumn.

READING THE LEADER.
Moving Up on Rumors and the
Campaign Against the Shorts.
BIG ADVANCES AT THE CLOSE,
Especially in New England, Northern
Pacific and Distillers.
BONDS STRONGER AND MORE ACTIVE

NEW YORK, Sept 22-The coal situation
attracted attention chiefly because of the
movement in the Reading securities This
is attributed to a squeeze of the shorts,
and while the new rumors of q change in
the status of the combination-that Jersey
Central will become the lessee of both
Reading and Lehigh Valley-meet with but
few believers, the interest displayed in the
stock market centers entirely in
Reading, though the activity and
strength in that stock are powerless
either to stimulate trading in the rest
of the list or to impart more than firm
temper to the trading. The threatening
aspect of Trunk Line affairs, notwithstand-
ing the withdrawal of an obnoxious rate by
the Nickel Plate, and the even less encour-
aging prospects farther West in the railroad
world, acted as deterrent in the stock mar
ket, and until q more promising state of
affairs is developed it will be hardly posi-
BILE .or movement confined to one group of
stocks to favorably affect the rest of the
market.
The temper of the traders was favorable
to rally and London was to limited ex-
tent a buyer of Louisville and Nashville at
the lowest prices, but the withdrawal of
outside support to the speculation was
relieved. The opening was made at only
slight changes from last evenings prices
The pressure upon Louisville and Burling-
ton was continued with some effect, but
there was no pressure to sell in any other
portion of the market and while both lost
large fractions, both later in the day we're
lifted materially, responding to the firm
temper displayed by everything else on the
list.
The Hebrew holiday contributed in a
great measure to the dullness in the general 4
list, but there is no reason to suppose the
Absentees had not seen that their interests
were protected, and with the growth of the
bull sentiment in the board there was q
gratifying increase in the amount of bust
ness done among the leading shares Prices
moved up almost steadily throughout the
day.
Among the stocks which became promi-
day we're New England, Northern Pacific
preferred and Distillers and all scored sub
stantial improvements toward the close. The
market finally closed active and strong at
or near the best figures of the day.
Railroad bonds furnished the most en-
couraging features of the market their in.
crease in activity rejecting an increasing !
interest on the part OF investors, and while |
the Atchison incomes and the Northern |
Pacific 5s were specially prominent in the |
dealings the trading extended to a larger |
number of high class issues than for some 4
time past The Readings were strong and |
both the 2ds and 3ds were moved up u |

Government bonds were dull and steady. |
