RECEIPTS IN CHICAGO.
Mummy G. Co.'S Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, Sept. H.-Trade in wheat to-
day has been rather dull and without any
special feature to the market, has kept
within a narrow range and a shade under
yesterday for most of the day. The break
in December corn and selling by the
northwest caused a drop to 50 1-Sc for De-
cember. There was scattered liquidation
in September, and has ranged between Sc
and SIC. Armour was a seller and he gave
support to May under zoe. Cables were in
different, unchanged TO S-Sc lower. The
weather was not favorable to the move
ment of grain, although receipts kept up
on a fairly liberal scale but the grading
does not show any material improvement.
The market was largely a scalping one,
and May continued so until the September
deal was out of the way. Market closed
quiet and steady.
Corn was the leader today, and heavy
liquidation caused break Of cent in De-
cember. Bartlett Frazier, Harris-Gates,
Reynolds & Ware and Leland were prom
inent sellers of this option. May held fair
ly steady and without much change on
good buying by Comstock. Armour was
buyer Of September. Liquidation in De-

has been hidden.

FIVE HUNDRED
BODIES ARE
RECOVERED
TEMPEST THAT RAVAGED IS
LAND OF SICILY is STILL
RAGING, TAKING SCORES OF
LIVES.

ROME, Sept. N.-Advices received this
afternoon from Sicily show that the tenn
pest that worked such damage in that is
land is still raging. Details Of the storm
multiply the number of deaths.
On the east coast SO bodies have been
recovered and the sea continues to give
up corpses which were swept down by the
torrents from the interior.
1t is estimated that 500 bodies have al
ready been recovered.
Three hundred lives were lost at Modica,
The churches there are filled with dead
and the cemeteries are wastes of mud,
rendering the interment of the bodies of
the victims impossible. Salvage operations
continue, troops and peasants working
without intermission.

New York Cotton.

NEW YORK, Sept. H.-Cotton opened
steady 2 to points higher on a nervous
demand from room shorts and some sup
port from the bull syndicate. This buy
ing was based largely upon a favorable
class of cables from Liverpool and dan
gerously low temperatures in the ncrth-
western portion of the belt. Following
the call commission houses re-entered the
market as buyers, taking back cotton
sold at a lower level yesterday and on
Thursday. For the balance of the fore
noon speculation was brisk and general,
with the bull element systematic buyers
of the winter options Whereas receipts
were very heavy, many attributed this
movement to a drouth forced crop and
predicted a marked falling off in the i'm
mediate future.
The crop news was again very bullish,
indicating very poor top crop prospects
over the better part of the belt. The
south, Europe and spinners were buyers
of the early months up to the closing hour
and bid January up to S.S1, and March
to 8.5s. At this level smaller longs sold
for profits, preferring to take neutral
stand over the Sunday adjournment.
Southern spot markets were described as
steady to firm with buyers disposed to
meet the views of sellers on the matter
of prices.

NEW YORK, September 27.-The January
March difference narrowed to p points this
morning showing further undoing of straddles
between the two months. This should operate
i'm favor of the market. and has appeared to
yesterday and today. While receipts are sen
sationally large, the demand for March and
May at Si5 cents is such to steady the flu
ture market considerably Then the coming
bureau re: Ort on Friday of next week is be-
ginning to receive attention. Traders believe
it will be rather poorer than the last, and
may grove rather bad For this reason few
care TO oe short and in the absence of pres
sure, comparatively steady market is looked
for. Exports are heavy with receipts and
news from the south is not such as TO discour-
age large crop views. As there is the pros
pect of monthly reHort and no one cares to sell.
we look for a trading market the coming
week. Money conditions We're better. but to-
days stock market broke lower and excited
