THE CHICAGO MARKET.

Special to White & White.
CHICAGO, September Corn
opened higher and active. Argentine
shipments were 1864, 900 bushels, and
there were low temperatures in the
northwest. Good buying by Patten
and Bartlett Frazier party with selling
by Cudahy in this and country houses.
Cash demand was not so good. Cables
were MONO higher. Receipts were
$50 cars. C~learances were only A, 900
bushels. The weather forecast pre-
dicted frost for the Dakotas and Mon
nesota. but suggested more for the
corn States.
Oats-Patten has been a buyer of
oats. Elevator people and cash people
have led the selling. General trade
slow. Prices up and down with corn.
Receipts 14S cars.
Wheat-Wheat after a firm opening,
ruled weak under large primary re-
ceipts. pool cash demand and small
speculative trade. The strength in
corn has added somewhat to early
strength in wheat. Export clearances
are light, while supplies are accumu-
lating. Likely to have dull market
until after the government report is
made public.
Provisions opened strong but active
and higher on 1000 less hogs than ex-
pected. Shorts bought October lard.
Cudahy Packing Company bought jan
nary lard and sold October. Export
demand for lard ~ small. Towards
the close prices were easier on moder-
ates selling by the packers. Thirteen
thousand hogs tomorrow.

PROFESSIONAL OPERATORS
Alone Were In .Yester-
days stock Market.

NEW YORK, September 6.-Profes-
sional operates who were alone con-
eerned in to-day's market for stocks
had even more difficulty than on yes
terday in inducing any movement of
prices, and the direction OF the move
ment was also more shifting and un-
certain. The volume OF business fell
back to about the lowest of the year for
a fun days trading. The uncertainty
OF the money market outlook prompted
the restriction of outlay In stocks,
while the strength of the general stu
alton continues equally eficacious in
lettering holders from selling. The
usual weekly forecast of the weekly
changes of the cash reserves of the
banks which is compiled from state
ments furnished by the banks them
selves. was awaited with unusual In
terest to-day. II was an agreeable dis
appointment in showing a much
smaller movement of cash TO the in
terror by the regular export movement
than was expected. But to the effect of
this express movement is to be added
the loss on sub-treasury operations,
which amounts to sS.S79. 900.
The market was inclined to rally on
the bank statement, and on the alb
senee of the furry In the call money
market which was expected on account
of the special demand usual to a FRI
day. The rise in the New York ex-
change at Chicago to 40 cents dis
count compared with 60 cents discount
earlier In the week indicated relaxed
pressure for funds. The high point
touched for call loans was 4is per cent
and it was only momentarily held.

NEW YORK, September 6.-4:04 D..
m.-While to-day's stock market was
quite dull it nevertheless presented in
teresting features. The weakness of
yesterday afternoon was followed up
for an nour, but the declines that took
place this morning were rather limited
and later the market continued to ad-
vance and almost fully regained the
losses of yesterday and to-day's early
session. Contributary causes to the
firmer tone were arrivals of gold from
Australia, a further reduction of ster-
ling exchange, and prospective gold
shipments from either London or Paris,
a stable rate for call money, which did
not go above 4 per cent, and the gem
eral idea prevailing that no severe
stringeney is likely to take place this
season. The remarkable good railway
earnings continued to be reported and
the conferences of the Steel Trust with
the strikers committee seems to lead
to a speedy end of the trouble. From
surface indications it looks as if there
were not many stocks for sale at pres
ent, and nc doubt this caused covering
by the short interest. To-morrow's
bank statement is awaited with a great
deal of interest, but it is hard to tell
what the figures are likely to be. A
special feature in the market, and one
that was entirely contrary to the gen.
eral trend, was the stock Of the Amer
lean Smelling Company, which declined
about 3 per cent on heavy dealings, due
to reports that the earnings are not
up to expectations. The general mar
ket, while exceedingly dull, closed at
nearly the best figures of the day and
with a more confident tom than yes
terday. J.. S. BACHE & CO.
NEW YORK, September 6.-The i'm
ports of gold were being used to some
extent to stiffen the market. 1t was es-
timated that 5000, 900 could be import
ed at a loss of about SC, 900, and would
have an excellent effect in offsetting the
talk of dear money. A prominent
Broad street operator with a large for
eign house, was said to have got to-
gether at any rate sufficiently to stimu-
late talk OF gold imports which, per-
haps. would be equally effective and
Sc. 200 cheaper. 1t was doubted If the
$500. 600 bought in London to-day was
for the United States. London traded
in about 5000 shares equally. 1t was
absolutely a holiday market on the
other side. and arbitrage houses there
thought it hardly worth while to cable
quotations. There was talk of a lease

Still, the rally carried prices for a
