PRODUCE.

CHICAGO, September 17-Unfav-
oraible conditions in the northwest fur
nished the bull motive to-day, Oc-
tober closing with a gain of &c from
Saturday. Corn closed 5sc lower and
oats a shade depressed. Provisions
closed 21a@c5 to 1O@12hc higher.
Save for moment of easiness at the
start when traders were feelingtAt the
disappointment over an advance of
only 1s pence at Liverpool in the face
of the bulge here Saturday, wheat was
buoyant. The market made further
gains in spite of Liverpool and in spite
of an increase in worlds shipment and
was general and broader than usual.
October opened A@9sc lower at 76@1s
and under liberal buying, advanced to
775s@Mc. The visible increase of
2,191.000 bushels put wet blanket on
the market, influencing considerable
profttaking by longs The close, how
ever, was strong. October, after re-
acting to 76%c, steadied and closed u
over Saturday at 7718c. New York re-
ported II loads taken for export While
cash sales here were 10000 bushels
Clearances in wheat and -four were
equal to 1000 bushels. Primary re-
ceipts aggregated 1872 600 bushels COM
pared with 1,68S,000 bushels last year
Minneapolis and Duluth reported 1874
cars against 891 last week and 1,452
a year ago. Local receipts were 446
cars, ten of contract grade.
Corn was dull and inclined to weak
ness. At times the market tried to
brace up bit in imitation of wheat,
but the efforts were weary and in the
end the price settled back. Heavy To-
cal receipts, 15S cars-a liberal esti-
mate for tomorrow, the belief that the
crop had not been hurt by the frost
in the north last night and the cash
demand were all factors in depressing
the market. Country offerings were re-
ported freer and this also had an eff
feet. October sold between 1915 and
3S3s01ac, and closed sc lower at 3S1a
Oats were dull. The market took a
little sitter appearance at one time
in sympathy with wheat but eased off
again after transferring its affections to
WHICH IucdullllS was cCChiAS
lower level. October sold between 22c
and 215s@&c, and closed shade down
at 21%c. Receipts were 498 cars.
Provisions again felt the pressure
from shorts who were on the trail of
pork and ribs. Lard was supported by
light stocks Of that product. Lard and
ribs both held their gains well, but
when the short interest in pork had
become apparently satisfied that spec
ulative article eased off. October pork
sold between 81 2 20 and IL 80 and
closed 21a@5c higher at So O2h@
s12 O5. October lard between Sc S71a
and Sc IS, closing 10@121s better and
October ribs between 81 40 and 81 271a
with the close 10@121ac improved at
81 371aG7 40.
Estimated receipts tomorrow:
Wheat 395 cars; corn 610 cars; oats
ATS cars; hogs 10000 mead.

STEPHENS WILL NOT ACT.
Missouri Governor Declines to Order
Out the Militia to Preserve Or
der I'm st. Louis

St LOUIS, June s.--Any hopes the gen.
eral public may have INDUCED that Gov.
Stephens would call out the state militia
70 maintain law and order in st. Louis
during the prevalence of the great street
railway strike were dissipated tonight.
when that worthy gentleman departed
any decisive step in the matter nor Civ
ing any intimation as to what course he
intended 70 pursue In the future.
The subject OF calling out the state
troops was discussed at great length to-
day by Gov stephens, the police commits
sloners, the sheriff and commanding Of
ficers OF the militia, but no decision on
the direct issue was reached. II was
learned In certain authoritative quarters,
however. that while the governor could
not be brought over TO the way OF reas,
oning of some Of the city officials. he did
unbend to the extent OF Offering some
suggestions which in his opinion might
have a salutary effect upon the more
rabid element OF the general public. II
not, then he would act rs in his iudg
ment seemed proper for tho preservation
of the law. He advised, among other
things. that the transit company augment
the running OF Its cars ct night. and II
this experiment resulted in disorder and
Its attendant results. he would unhesi-
tatingly cali out the state militia for its
suppression.
Acting apparently upon this advice, the
transit company tonight further increas-
ed Its transportation facilities by run
ming cars on three more OF Its divisions,
the Laclede avenue. Market street and
olive street. The Lfndell division, which
resumed Its night services two days ago,
