SCANNING The FINANCES
SPECTATORS TURN THEIR ATTEN-
TION TO BANK STATEMENT.
Showing Is Expected to BE Weak and
UnfavOrabIe-Day's Price Move
ments Are Unimportant.

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-THE news from
Buffalo was practically eliminated as an
influence from the stock market to-day,
for the first time since the event of last
Friday. The coming bank statement began
to loom big on the horizon, as to-morrow's
preliminary figures of the weeks cash
movements will allow some estimate of
what the showing will be. In the item of
loans, however, the statement itself on
Saturday will have to be awaited. Appar-
emily there can be no escape from weak
statement on both scores. The banks have
lost cash on the interior movement dur
ing the week, but the drain to the subtreas-
ury has been sensibly diminished. Large
payments have been made to the banks on
account Of Australian and Klondike gold,
and the diversion of internal revenue re-
ceipts into bank deposits is apparently
beginning to affect the account with the
government institution. The increase in
government deposits from this source Is 10
be distributed ultimately among banks
throughout the country that have bonds
deposited with the treasury 10 secure lneHl.
But the bulk of payments TO the govern
ment are made in New York, and conse-
quently they will be deposited temporarily
in New York banks having what are called
live accounts with the government and
so may affect the showing of the banks
this week. The acceptanceS by the SeCre-
tary of the treasury OF tenders of govern
ment bonds were not known until
after the market closed to-day and the
payments for these bonds are too late TO
figure in this week s. bank statement any
how. Yesterdays feeling of skepticism of
the efficacy of this measure to give Such
relief to the mony market as would benefit
speculation in stock was deepened and the
additional sharp rise in the bid prices or
government bonds call increased the
doubt as to tenders being made at prices at
which the secretary would be inclined TO ac-
cept in any large amount. The st. Paul dlVl-
dend episode was disconcerting to a part
Of the Spectators who had made very con-
hdent predictions of an increase In the
dividend and had bought stocks on the
strength of their belief Their most plausi-
bic argument was that at the time the st.
Paul authorities rejected the offer from
Northern Pacific, which was afterward
accepted by Burlington, assurances were
given to stockholders that they would tare
as we'll as though the offer had been ac-
cepted Republic Steel was particularly

CEREAL PRICES FIRMER
CORN STRENGTH THE DOMINANT IN
FLUENCE IN THE MARKET.
Early Weakness in Wheat and Oats
Soon Overcome Provisions
Steady on Higher Range.

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Grains in general
were quiet on the Board of Trade to-day,
with a little nervous activity in corn as
the only feature. December wheat closed
11c higher than yesterday; corn was UP
CSC to nc, and oats Ac higher. Provisions
were rather steady, but closed &c to 10c
higher.
December wheat opened rather steady at
7Olsc, &c under yesterdays close, on lower
cables, large receipts moderate clearances
and Indifferent cash demand. Local condi-
tions, however played some part, and un-
der buying by shorts and d fair commits
sion-house demand at the low figures the
price fuctuated narrowly till it touched
7O3sc, where it closed. Local receipts were
2OS cars, 60 of contract grade. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported TAG cars, making
total for the three points of 954 cars,
against 1,OS1 last week and 746 a year ago.
Primary receipts were 1926 blu, against
1,Ol1, 727 a year ago Shipments were 49,,
125 bu, against S04, sos last year. Twenty
loads were reported taken for export, and
the clearances at Atlantic and gulf ports
in wheat and flour ecualed 539,964 bu.
Corn had something of an active market,
which opened in fear of frost in the North
west. December opened unCndHSeu 10 t4C
higher at 57Q5714c, but was at once de-
pressed by a large offering by the same
crowd of longs who sold yesterday. The
price slipped back by degrees till it reached
565sc On a little nervousness and a report
Of some cash demand the cereal firmed up
we'll till it stood SAKE better than yes
terday's close at 572sq571kc. Receipts were
252 cars.
Oats had a dull and featureless market,
inclined to follow corn, but nuctuating only
narrowly December opened very quiet
and unchanged at S5q501sc. There was
little outside trade and but scattering
demand, which made the highest price Tor
the session 35$sc. Here it closed. Receipts
were IS cars.
There was moderate trade in provisions,
with a firm undertone in the demand for
cash lard and ribs, buying by Cudahy being
most prominent. January pork opened Zl2g
sc down al $l5.70Ql5.7212, was the lowest
at $l5.7O, and closed firm at $lo.SO. Lard
opened 21zc under yesterday at -. l2l9, and
one time touched $780, but closed nrm at
S9l71k Ribs opened 21zc under yesterday
at $S.O712. and firmed up to $S.15, closing
pretty firm at $S12k0Sl5.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow:
Wheat 100 cars; corn, 900 cars; oats, rs
cars; hogs, 10000 head.

UNION STOCKYARDS. INDIANAPOLIS,
Sept. 2.-Cattle-Receipts. LOO; shipments
small. Combined receipts of cattle for four
days show a decrease of nearly 400 COM
pared with the same time last week. and an
increase of nearly $500 compared with the
corresponding time a year ago. The re-
ceipts to-day were fully as large as ex-
pected, but nearly 500 smaller than last
Thursday and 200 larger than a year ago.
Most of the different varieties were repre-
sented, but there is a continued scarcity
of strictly choice kinds IN their class and
buyers claimed that small proportion of
the supplies are equal to their expectations
in quality and flesh. 1t seemed that there
was a very Indifferent demand for any
kind Of cattle to-day, and statesmen did not
have anything good to say Of the market.
1t was evident that buyers were hard to
please and in many instances it was
claimed that bids were SO low that they
could not be considered. Sales, therefore
were at irregular prices, and it viii be very
difficult to give an accurate account Of the
market 1t is safe to say, however, that
there is a strong tendency toward lower
prices of all kinds and probably few if
any sold as satisfactory to-day as yes
terday. At a late hour a large number
of cattle remained in the pens unsOld, and
there were many that had not received
