A LECTURE HAT.

market opened. October at 78@77Bc.
The steadiness was short-lived, how
ever. Heavy amounts were for sale
under the influence of clear and cool
weather in the northwest. The stuff
bought early was unloaded in the gen.
eral rush of liquidation and before the
bulls could muster any force, October
had declined to 1880. A good ship
ping demand here made it's appearance.
commission houses had heavy buying Or
ders which had been waiting for the
market to get under TIC. Northwest
markets, easy early, turned strong and
damage reports from the spring wheat
territory were numerous and very
gloomy. Estimates of a 50,O00,OO0
bushel crop were made and French
crop organ estimated shortage in the
Worlds crop of 120000,000 bushels.
Local shorts moved by these consider
ations found wheat hard to get and
sharp rally to 7S$@3c for October
followed. The close was strong, Oc-
tober &c over yesterday at 7SAc. New
York reported forty loads taken for ex-
port and local sales for the other side
were put at 10000 bushels; No. l
Northern. Clearances at the seaboard
were equal in wheat and flour to 3Z0,-
600 bushels. Primary receipts aggre-
gated 1,025,000 bushels compared with
1857, 900 bushels last year. Minneapo-
lis and Duluth reported 400 cars against
$50 last week and 94S year ago. Lo-
cal receipts were 274 cars, seven OF
contract grade.
Corn was weak early, strong later, but
at all times quiet. The weakness early
was with wheat and the recovery Fe-
suited from the covering OF shorts by
prominent shipper. Offerings were
light and a sharp rally took place, the
close being firm. October sold between
3SAc and 1874 @3S7sc, and closed 40
1ac higher at 1875 @3S%c. Receipts
were TAG cars. The bulge cut off ship
ping business.
Oats gave another exhibition of stand
ing In their own tracks and were gen.
orally neglected. October sold between
215se and 277s022c, and closed firm Ac
improved at 21B@22c. Receipts were
327 cars.
Provisions were quiet and irregular,
hard showing up as the weak sister. Oc-
tober pork sold between $1205 and
$3.50, and closed sc higher at S12.15;
October lard between sos and $7.15,
closing 10c lower at $7.071s, and October
ribs between $7371a and S7.4215, with
the close 21sc better at $7.40@7.421s.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat, $40 cars; corn, 600 cars; oats,
$50 cars; hogs, 10000 head.

is the overshadowing influence in bus
iness. This conflict disturbs business
and interferes with calculations OF
merchants over large part of the At
lantic seaboard, and is really the only
tangible check to the general recovery
which set in with the larger demand
for iron and steel products. Outside OF
the anthracite industry enforced idle
ness of hands is an exception, and
even in the Pennsylvania coal region
other employers would gladly take on
thousands of ,he more intelligent mill
ers. The Doscher Sugar Refinery closes
down on account of the scarcity, OF raw
sugar. of which all refineries are esti-
mated to hold only 10000 tons, but the

months, is starting its furnaces, with

from last year.
In iron and steel products greater ac-
tivity at former prices was the rule
New contracts were for moderate
amounts, but large order for MALE
able Bessemer pig iron was placed at
Pittsburg. Reduction in stocks OF pig
iron at southern points makes the out
look more encouraging and scotch
concern is only prevented by high
ocean freight rates from closing very
large contract for billets. The break
in Scotch pig iron warrants had an IN
ternational significance. Puddlers ane
bar rollers are still waiting their turn
for wage settlement. Orders for rail-
road equipment in September are ex-
pected TO include fully 5000 freight
cars. A sharp break in tin was aided
by heavy shipments from the straits
Lumber is in a stronger position, spruce
selling at $375 per thousand, an adj
vance of % per cent for the month.
Failures for the week were I'll in
the United States, against 154 last year,
and SO in Canada, against Is last year.

Stocks-There was considerable Ii
quidation in to-day's stock market,
but prices showed some resistance all
day, and in the later trading there were
quite general recoveries OF all the ear
lier losses, and small net gains are the
rule. The late recovery did not, how
ever, bring prices fully up to the open
ing level. Buying by arbitrage brokers
when the market opened here was re-
sponsible for the advance, and the buy
ing for London account was estimated
at close to 10000 shares. The profess
sional operators in New York seemed
suspicious Of the rise in London, and
of the high opening made in some OF
tn specialties, notably Sugar and
Brooklyn Transit. They, therefore,
sold those stocks with assurances at
the high level. Yesterdays rather vio-
lent decline had the inevitable effect
of attracting considerable selling Or
ders from outside sources. Prices
yielded very generally after the open
ing and declines ranging from to / u
We're effected in a long list of stocks.
Peoples Gas was especially affected,
and lost "a, and General Electric as
much. Louisville was the weakest
of the railroad list, and fell at one
time a point under last night. Some
wider declines were made by newly
1 awakened dormant stocks. Consider
ing the range of this movement, to-
days final changes will be found sur
prisingly small, a contamination which
suggests a general closing up of spec
ulative accounts. That the shorts were
buyers on a large scale, was palpable,
and the circulation of the favorite can
ard of the Presidents death went to
show that the bears were rather hard
pressed. The forecast of an unfavor-
able bank statement, the development
in the miners strike and the report that
an agreement between steel operators
and their employees seemed improbable,
did not appear to weaken the market
as they had been discounted by yes
terday's selling.
The report of the weeks currency
movement indicated loss in cash by
the banks Of 100000, or upwards of
S1,000,000 more than last week. This
showing disposes of the superstition that
last weeks movement was made abnor-
NAL by the movement of the relief fund
to Galveston. A further loan expan-
sion is counted upon with confidence.
in view of the large remittances known
to have been made on account OF the
German loan payment which is certain
to be reflected in the loan item of the
banks There is every probability,
therefore. of a further substantial in
road upon the surplus reserve IN the

large In the same spirit it was argued
that the flow of American capital into
foreign government securities is likely
to aid the country's export trade in view
of the fact that our needs for foreign
merchandise continue less than foreign
ers needs for ours, and that domestic
money eondrCions do not call for gold
imports, the foreign demand for our

urday, the occasion being the spring
opening of new millinery goods. Mrs.
Kohler was contemplating selling her
store but the deal was prevented by the
illness Of the intending purchaser, and

new stock. In selecting the hundreds
Of pretty new hats, Mrs. kohler showed
exceptionally good taste and received
many compliments on her selections
During the day and evening the store
room was thronged with ladies and the
large stock was greatly thinned out when
the store was closed for the night.
The store was prettily decorated with
palms and houseplants, and the decora-
tons were encanced by the bright
ribbons and flowers strung in tes'
toons. Carnations were given az
souvenirs to all who called. Good music
during the day and evening added to
the enjoyment, of the Of casior
and the store was thronged, keeping
