IA. r. Thompson & Co.'S Telegram.l
NEW YORK, Sept. 22-If there is any
change in the stock market at the close Of
business to-day it is simply that the street
is more bewildered than ever. Some of the
morning papers printed encouraging arti-
cles, and after it was seen that the Consoli-
dated Lake Superior crash did not seriously
affect general sentiment traders apparently
tried to bid up prices, but the extent of their
success was TO influence some short cover
ing. assisted by some buying by Standard
Oil interests, after which the little activity
that had been created ceased, and the mar
ket sagged off of its own accord. Ordinarily
it would seem that a rally in prices was
due. but the precedent counts for nothing
at the present time, and the course of the
market remains extremely problematic,
there being information sufficiently def
mite upon which TO base an opinion. People
having idle money are making small invest
ments now and then in good standard divi-
dend stocks, but this is only a drop in the
bucket

GRAIN PRICES HIGHER
REACTION COMES IN WHEAT AFTER
AN EARLY DECLINE.
Corn Prices Reach a Low Point, but
Go Up on Report of Prospect of
Break i'm the Fine Weather.

CHICAGO, Sept. Primal grain prices
was up 14c, corn sc higher and oats &c
ever yesterdays close. Provisions were ir-
regular. from &c lower to 221kc higher
There was good buying in wheat early
after moderately strong opening based
on fairly firm cables and good export trade
prospects. with December up 1sGAc to A9
CSC, at 1850 to 7S1ac. and soon going to 7Ss4c.
The firmness could not stand against the
fine weather and an easy tone in the North
west markets, due to the prospective mill
lers' strike, and prices went down before
liberal offerings from Northwest and
Southwest December touching 7S1sc before
the decline was checked. A demand arose
out of reports of small receipts Northwest
and heavy clearances of flour and the mat
ural reaction" theory appeared to influence
some buyers. December went back to 7SS4@
1S7sc late in the session, and closed steady
at TS1z01S5sc, with gain OF &c over yes
terday. Trade was of good volume. Clear
anceS of wheat and flour were equal to
$4,000 bu. Primary receipts were about
LOIS, 900 blu, compared with 1.5S2, 900 bu last
year. Minneapolis and Duluth reported re-
ceipts of $50 cars which, with local receipts
of 133 cars-slx of contract grade-made a
total for the three points of 653 cars against
1,1s9 cars last week and 1,526 year ago.
Corn prices reached the lowest point
touched since the recent frost scare, with
December down to 463sc, but the decline was
checked on buying induced by indications
of break in the present fine weather de-
creasing receipts and the excellent cash de-
mand. The latter tone was better than
has been in evidence for several days. Late
reports of damage by the recent frosls came
in and helped the strength. There was a
large trade by commission houses on both
sides of the market. The December option
showed a gain of sc at the close, at 474c,
after reaching 479sc on the late bulge.
Local receipts were $50 cars, with 81 of
contract grade.
Oats received good support by commits
sion houses and local traders Oh small re-
ceipts and adverse crop news. There was
considerable long oats on the market early,
| but the offerings were well taken, and the
close showed December i4c higher at 41lac,
after ranging between 3734c and 37lsc. Local
receipts were 12S cars.
Provisions, except lard, participated i'm
| the general advance. and the market was
| strong on steady hog situation and fair
general demand There was considerable
| selling of October lard for account of the
| smaller packers, and that product showed a
| decline of &c, at $3.50 October pork was
up 22l.c, at s13.10. with ribs 10c higher, at

LOW RECORD FOR CoNsOLS.


LONDON, Sept. 22.-The rates for money
and discounts were firmer to-day owing to
fears that a per cent. bank rate is imm-
nent- Germany was still keen after gold.
Trading on the Stock Exchange was in
active. The transactions were confined 10
a little investment business. Consols were
opened dull. but were afterward irregularly
firmer and quiet United States Steel being
the weakest. Prices closed dull. Other sec
lions were featureless.
Consols to-day touched S3st. another low
record. The depression is attributed to sell
ing on account of the hardening of rates
for money and the talk of advance in
the German bank rate and In the Bank of
Engiand's rate of discount. Later consols
dropped to SSss In anticipation of the Bank
of Englands rate of discount being raised
to per cent. on Thursday next.

Hogs-Receipts, 5000: shipments, ZOO When
the market opened this morning the supply or
hogs In sight was small and the quality repre-
sented just about the for the past
few days. There were quite number OF good
hogs, but others the mixed order and
a few were lacking in quality and finish. The
market opened with all buyers In the field. and
with quite active demand from shippers the
trading from the start animated. Prices
probably for the most part represented an ad-
vance OF &c over yesterday but occasionally there
did not appear TO be much gain, and few of
the hogs were possibly only steady. The princi-
pal requirements of buyers quality, and
therefore hogs of all weights that were fully up
10 the requirements received the full strength Of
the demand. Local packers were not active buy
ers at the advance. but were forced TO give ship
pers terms TO get their requirements. The early
supply was exhausted promptly at opening prices.
There were not many hogs came In late
trains and with all buyers still In the field the
last transactions were at steady prices com
pared with the opening, and a good clearance
was made Sales ranged from s6l0 to s6Ss, and

UNION STOCKYARDS INDIANAPOLIS, Sept.
22.-Cattle-Recepts. LOO; shipments. 800. The
consignments again consisted principally OF cat
tie that Were little below the principal
qurements of buyers at this time, and there is
continued scarcity of or absence of cattle
good enough to command the top prices in their
class. Therefore. there not much to
courage buyers and from the start IL was evil
dent that statesmen would have considerable diff
fcuty in transferring the supply. The receipts
of good cattle were hardly large enough to invite
competition from all buyers. and in this line
the trading was also rather sluggish. In fact,
the trade in general was rather lifeless through
out the day, and the results while probably
good could be expected at this time. were
nevertheless unsatisfactory. 1t is possible that
cattle that just suit in quality, weight and
dition sold at about steady prices compared with
those prevailing at the close OF last week, but
in a general way the market was reported lower
by most dealers. Sales of the bulk of the cattle
were again very irregular, and it was difficult
to make an accurate estimate of the true condi-
tions existing hut 1t is probably safe to say
that for all cattle below top kinds prices were
around 10c lower than the close OF last week.
and the greatest difficulty in finding out
let for large number Of common to fair cattle
at any price. There was practically no compe-
tition for the big heavy steers and common kill
ers, for the fair to medium cows and heifers.
The bull market was steady, and calves sold at
strong prices. Quotations.:
