Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-Wheat traders were In

this was due to a scarcity of cars and would
be sllcce eded by correspondingly heavy arrl-
walls later, and for tue time being mad no Ell
feet on trading. The Liverpool hrmness was
reflected by an opening advance of Aq$sc here,
Dacemher starting at 73Aq73asc, and under
good buying-mostly by local professionals-a
further slight advance took place, December
getting 10 BIC but the buying movement soon
became quite general, and though no marked

advanced to 7334c. There was considerable

business was done. The selling movement was
freest shortly before the close. Estimates of
365 OC0 600 bushels for the French CROP the larg-
est ever known, had some influence on traders.
Corn was quiet, active and firm for the more
remote futures, but decidedly weak for Sep
tember There were heavy additions to the
contract stocks out of private houses and ele-
vator concerns offered freely, the price declin-
ing sharply under the liquidation Early in
the session there also considerable De-
cember liquidation, but later that option be-
came frmer helped by wheat and the immense
export engagements-15O loads. Belief that the
contract stocks would be ample by Saturday
to fill the shorts influenced trading December

Oats were inactive and steady. There was
fair demand from shorts for December and
an inclination to dispose of September which
resulted in a disappearance of the slight Sep

EASTERN MARKETS
Ne7U York Stock Market.

NEW YORK Sept. 27.-The stock market
fell g degree further to-day toward stagnation
and the activity. such as It was, showed an
added tendency TO center in a few specialties.
Tennessee Coal was relatively much more
prominent than for some time and registered
an extreme decline Of 6l5 points. American To-
bacco showed the continued effects Of the pres
sure to which it has recently been subjected
up to the time of the announcement of the
declaration Of the regular dividends. The
weakness in these two stocks served to hold
back the market, which showed a tendency to
advance from an early period in the day. Bet
ter advices from abroad made the opening
higher and the announcement OF an additional
engagement of S750. 600 in gold in London for i'm
port added TO the convictions that the exchange
situation admitted Of regular import operations.
The continued high price for money in spite of
the gold engagement served a setback TO
the advance as the yesterday, but
late in the day rumors were industriously cir
culated of the early approach Of gold imports
on a large scale. At the time the money
rate was quickly offered down by successive
stages 20 per cent, but before o'clock call
loans had been made all the way from u to %
per cent. 1t said that money could have
been had at lower rate some high-grade
railroad stocks but the higher range that
quoted on the Stock Exchange. Even on the
higher grade of collateral the margin required
widened materially. Under cover OF their
requirement and of what were called commits
sions, there room for considerable manipu-
lation OF the quoted rate. This was true in the
time loan market, in which there was consid-
cradle demand for short loans. as well as in
the call loan department. Very little is doing
in mercantile paper but rates are firm. Pre-
dictons of a favorable bank statement to-mor-
row under which date the clearing house in
stitutions to make their weekly return
We're a factor in the frmness of the market.
The outgo to the sub-treasury Will be something
less than half million dollars. Shipments to
the interior have continued on a considerable
scale. How far they have been offset by small
here and there, attracted by the high
money rate cannot be clearly estimated. Sc
far as stock market operations so, there has
evidently been a further contraction of loans.
The character of the statement VIII largely de-
pend on how far the demand for accommoda-
tions in preparations for October first settle
ments has offset this contraction. The move
rnent of prices in the railroad list was very
narrow. Atchison preferred, enjoyed belated
demand on account of its August statesnent.
and Southern Pacific rose quite strongly late
in the day. The stringency of the money mar
ket resulted in a decline in the sterling ex-
change rate In spite of the further advance In
