HOG MARKET.
TELEGRAPHIC MARKET LETTER

Minneapolis. Sept. 1O.-Wheat: The
market conditions were almost identi-
cal with those of yesterday around the
opening. The market appears some
what strong, yet considerable resist
ance is offered to any advance. but as
previously mentioned. the public in
general are drawing comparisons of
values, and are discovering that wheat
today is the cheapest comm odity-un-
der existing circums tances-of the ex-
changes of commerce. Gables were
not noticeably strong and receipts if
anything inclined to show no DISPOSE
ton to increase while the cash demand
holds up admirably fine. At Duluth
and here there we're but fewe cars
over one-third of last years. We have
every faith in higher wheat values and
believe shorts will be the prime movers
in the next important upward move
ment.
Corn is demonstrating that several
warm friends have been retained in the
ranks of the bulls. Surely there is
nothing indicative of any corner dur
ing the balance of this month. as few
outside of the cash market are work
ing into the September. but the danger
lies in drive against the shorts in the
December especially. 1t would be folly
to anticipate any new arrivals to be
sufficiently seasoned for delivery on
short December contracts. especially
with corn so poorly matured. The
government leport-out this afternoon
at 3 o'clock-will show conditions on
couple of points loss compared with
the August report. Believe it will be
close to points and possibly more.
The cash demand holds surprisingly
well and gives promise of being more
urgent as the month advances.
Oats maintain their ratio of strength.
Outsiders are not quite SO aggressive
on the short side as heretofore but
cover spalingly Receipts were but
l62 cars, II of which were contract
quality. We fail to note any encour-
aging features for the short interest.
Provisions: There is nothing espe-
scially noteworthy in the provision pit.
The bull sentiment in the grain pits
puts scarcely any confidence in the
provision crowd who are awaiting de-
yelopments. Look for scaping mar
ket with gradual recession on prices.

Paris. Feb 16.-La Patrie to day

the massacre of French scientific
