Chicago Change.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-A reported call for special meeting of the British cabinet com ing simultaneously with decline in English consols, although 1t was claimed that there was no relationship between the two. alarmed the shorts in wheat today, furry in prices taking place as a result. The market aside from this incident was firm, and at no time was there more than the most insignificant fractional decline from yesterday. December wheat opened at 59a @591ac, sold between 593s and 691hc, closing at 59Bc, ss6112c higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was firm and 1s4%c higher Corn--The sentiment in corn shows an in- crease in the bullish feeling which origina- | ted with the reduction in the crop pereent- age as given by the government. May corn opened at 24Ac, advanced to 2i5s6124a4c, clos ing at Assc, 1sc higher than yesterday. Cash corn was 12c higher.
 Oats were affected with languor. Even the boom in wheat was barren of effect, a slow and dragging market prevailing throughout. May oats closed 1sc under yes terday. Cash oats were firm and advanced 3sc.
 f'rovisions-Not much action took place in provisions. Due attention was accorded an easy hog market, prices declining moderate ly during the first half hour on that consid- era ation. The strength of wheat did not at first find response in products, but as the session progressed a gradual hardening took i#ace. January pork closed 517lAc higher dtan yesterday and January ribs 5c higher.

Suns Cotton Review.

New York, Sept. 12.-The Suns cotton re- view says: Cotton declined 15 to 21 points, recovered 10 to 17 of the loss but later re- acted and closed easy at a net decline of 10 to 16 points, with sales of 167 900 bales.
 Today's features: The Liverpool news to- declined in sympathy. It was reported that Neill Brothers would issue large crop esti- mate, and this report, together with some long selling against southern purchases de- pressed Liverpool prices. New Orleans sold freely and the unsettled European political situation also contributed to the weakness. There was a rally at one time in which most of the loss was recovered on some cov- ering of shorts and absence of sellers, and more favorable advices from New Orleans regarding the financial situation in that city, but the improvement was only tenn porary.

In Wall Street.

New York, Sept. 12.-The stock market in the mafi was weak and lower today. At the opening foreign houses were free sellers of the iiternat tionally listed stocks on ru- mors of a further advance in the Bank of England discount rate and fears of trouble in tue east. Cable advices from London were received by bankers to the effect that meeting of the cabinet had been called to discuss the Turkish question, and firms with English connections were free sellers of Louisville and Nashville, St. Paul and other stocks. The bank statement proved disappointing and failed to reflect the enor- anous receipts of gold from Europe At the opening leading issues declined anywhere from H to l per cent, but subsequently, the traders bid the market up on the shorts Sugar and Manhattan were conspicuous III the rise, selling at l16 and s41s respectively.

Dry Goods.

New York, Sept. 12.-The rapid pace at which prices have advanced in the dry goods IT arket this week has had an effect on the demand today, generally quiet mar ket being reported In staple cottons. The unexpected decline in the cotton market following the bad bureau report on the crop has also probably had something of a quiet ing influence over buyers. The business done this week has been liberal enough to relieve the market from any pressure of un. failure to at least fully maintain the gains in prices already made. In prints the ten- dency of the market is upward for staple goods, and advances on some important lines are looked for shortly. Staple ging- hams are also strong, with limited supply
