Advances in Coarse Grains
Provisions Lower.

Chicago, Sept 15-Trading in wheat to-
day was marked in weakness of Septem-
Der and comparative frmness in deferr-
ed, futures. Elevator interests were will
ing to sell September and disposed OF
enough to cut 7-Sc off previous prices. De-
cember was helped by firm northwest
markets and good demand and closed
is higher Corn advanced 1-Sc for De
cember and lie for September, Oats ad-
vanced about 1-2c. Provisions closed IL
Csc lower.
Wheat opened a triie lower than it clos
cd yesterday The decline in September
was quite marked, but deferred futures
had some outside support and resisted the
influence Of the lower cables and heavy
primary receipts, prices for over two hour
holding close to opening quotations. The
market during that time, outride of short
periods of activity in September was eX-
ceptionally dull The strength Of Decem-
Der was mostly artificial, as good deal
of changing was done, selling Septera-

Der did not advance was due to the SELL
ing by shorts and though price changes
were narrow, the general feeling in the
pit was one of heaviness. The Septem-
Der premium in the meantime entirely
disappeared and the price of the cotton
finally declined TO a point about 1-2c I'M
der December, with elevator people ap-
parently willing to sell even at that fig
ure. Up to within 80 minutes of the close
trading was the dullest in weeks. To-
ward the end of the session more activity
was shown. December became quite firm
near the close. with prices gradually ad-
vancing Total primary receipts were L.
$4,000 bushels against 1903 coo bushels a
year ago. The northwest predicted heav-
fer receipts next week. Argentine ship
ments were liberal 1,O4O. 900 bushels, which
was given as one of the reasons for the
weakness in foreign markets. The north
west promised an increase in stocks of
about 10000 bushels, which indicated a
visible increase of over 100000 bushels.
December closed at 20 7-Sc. September
closed at 70 1-2c, a decline of 7-Sc.
Corn was very dull but steady until
near the end of the session, when a sud-
den advance in September was caused by
good buying by shorts, who were influence
ed by the large cash demand and the late
strength in December wheat. Trade in the
deferred futures was unimportant all day
December closed 1-Sc higher at % 5-S62S
34c. September closed lie higher at 80 lac.
Oats were steady all day. Trade was
unimportant until near the close, when
the strength of wheat and corn was sym
pathized in and prices advanced mater
tally under good general buying, shorts
being prominent. The market was help
ed by the continued large cash demand.

yesterdays closing figures. Late in the
session Gudahy selling of pork started
the local crowds in the same direction,
and prices suffered a little all around.
