Howard, Crosby & Co.'S Boston letter.
Boston, Sept. N.-Wheat opened strong,
3sq12c over last night, on the small re-
ceipts at Duluth and the advance of
much of q bull factor as the northwest
receipts, which were at first reported to
aggregate only 556 cars. There We're, how
ever, in reality. including Chicago, ll2l
cars, the small receipts at Duluth being
offset by big receipts at Minneapolis. The
strength in Liverpool was due to the
strength in our markets at the close yes
terday. The advance there failed to re-
ceive sufficient support, however, and
prices eased off Nd. during the morning.
The trade was not important until buy
ing was started by brokers, credited to
Barrett & Farnum. Later the failure of
this firm was reported said to be due to
enormous selling early in the week. and
notice was posted to close all trades with
the result of heavy buying to cover, as
stated above. AS soon as the covering
was completed, prices eased off some
what. Price Current says: Marketing
of wheat is not enlarging account of firm
holding sentiment; The weather map
shows moderate fall temperatures and
practically no rain at all in the west,
northwest and southwest.
The principal features of the stock mar
ket at the opening were local fractions,
anthracite coalers and the grangers. The
sentiment regarding this group appeared
to be that the way has now been cleared
for new deals of great magnitude Trad
ing IN brooklyn RAPID transit was enOr-

considerably in excess of selling, said to
be buying for control. Its failure to open
materially higher occasioned some disap-
polntment at first, but when it commenced
to rally traders became more confident
and took the buying side for turn.
ATTACKING orders were plainly evident
in Manhattan and P. O., but met
support in both instances. We understa nd
that people heretofore identified with
BROOKLYN Rapid Transit have satisfied
themselves that the stock has now passed
into the strongest hands on the street
The transactions have been on an enor-
nous scale. The buying in Southern
PACIFIC was considered good and secured
following. Traders worked generally
for a rally, finding some support in
specialties. On the rally, however. there
was some selling of grangers, indicating
continuance of bear operations. although

BLISS CONFIRMS 1T.

Regarding the matter of the new
ticket for the directorate of the
Boston & Albany, prominent
member of the protective committee
who was seen yesterday evaded an
swering the question asked him, if can
didates for a new board of directors
were being considered and a ticket
made UP for presentation at the coming
meeting, He said that the committee
had nothing to say, and tried to give the
impression that nothing had been I'M
dertaken along this line of action.
President Bliss of the Boston & Albany
later stated, when seen about the mat
ter that he had received word from
leading member of the committee that
such action on the part of the commit
tee already is well under way
and that an independent ticket will be
offered at the meeting. Mr.. Bliss said
that he understood the statement made
to him by this man to be an official one
to his railroad. He certainly so consid-
cred it.

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York. Sept. 21.-The tone Of tba
trading in stocks was much quieter to-
day than for some time past. No such
pressure Of forced liquidation was oh
servable, and there was very general
ana substantial recovery in prices
Ihere was large demand from the ex-
lehslVe outstanding short interest. and
PROBABLY this constituted a DrincinaI
eiellent IN the recovery, but there was
also very good absorption of Some of
the railroad stocks, which had the an
psarance of coming from large interests

the present level.
Brooklyn Transit continues to absorb
large proportion of the dealings and
the concession of pressure against n

important influence. A revised inter

But their success in affecting the gem

their efforts to cover developed in the

aided the bears in their part today.

When We Think

stocks will do to buy. Our reply to this
is: Don't buy stocks for long pull IN
permanently easing up" We may be
wrong, but we believe that we shall see
higher rates for money in the next two
weeks than we have yet seen; and, if that
is so, stocks will again sell as low or
lower than during the breaks of the 10th
and 18th, Consequently we consider stocks
a sale on the rallies. Now about wheat:
Until the fall rains set in primary re-
ceipts will continue large and the market
dull; after the rains, the roads will be
impossible, the receipts will fall off and
prices will advance. Buy wheat now on
breaks and hold it. Send for our free
