GRAINS ARE LOWER
THEY ARE LIKEWISE WEAK MOST
OF THE SESSION.
Wheat Does Fairly Well Till Pulled
Down by the FeebIeness in Corn
News from the Corn Belt Is Betrish
and Predictions of Frost Are Unin-
fluentiaI.

CHICAGO, Sept. S.-Grains were all
weak and lower. December wheat
closing R@Bc lower, December corn
"a C lower and oats down nc. ProVi-
sions were irregular, closing 12bc low
er to 2242 @25c higher.
Wheat was strong at the opening, in
1uenced by bad weather in the North
west. December being Is a q C higher at
81 @S23sc. When the weakness in
corn developed, however, local traders
sold freely and the early strength was
lost. On the reaction that followed
the early gain was lost and re-
ports of increased country move
ment being against the price, but
there was but little rallying power,
and the close was but shade above
the bottom, at 81A@81Bc, a loss of
h@9s from Fridays final figures.
There was small increase in the Wis
fble supply.
Clearances of wheat and flour We're
equal to GAL, 900 bushels. Minneapolis
and Duluth reported receipts of 1,541
cars for the last four days, which, with
local receipts of 400 cars, 10 Of con-
tract grade, made a total for the three
points of 1,941 cars. against 481 for a
similar period last week and 1,215 cars
year ago.
How Corn Fared.
News from the corn belt today was
extremely bearish. and predictions of
light frosts in Kansas and Nebraska
tonight had but little effect against the
Summerlfke weather of the past three
days. The large accumulation of re-
cefpts over the holidays was also a
weakening factor, as were also in
creasing receipts. Commission houses
had selling orders, and although there
was buying of good character, the vol
ume thrown on the market could not be
absorbed. The December option sold
off from SIC at the opening to SOS c,
stealing a trifie at the close to Sic
Inc net loss. The market was the
center of much interest and the trad
ing was active. Local receipts were
1888 cars for the past four days, with
96eof contract grade.
Oats were affected to some extent by
the weakness in corn. Local longs and
commission houses led the selling, but
small receipts and some unfavorable
crop news prevented a large decline.
Trade was of a moderate volume and
with no special feature. December
closed between BIC and 3756c Local
receipfssfer fo1Ir days were ATS cars.
The nearby deliveries in. provisions
were strong, packers selling the de-
ferred product. The demand was suffi-
Client to hold prices, however, with the
exception of pork, which, due to the
weakness in corn, showed loss. The
market on other products closed firm
and higher. October pork was &c high
er at $12.S71s, with September 121@c
lower at $12.70. October lard was up
l2As @15c at $7.95, with ribs 221b @25c
higher at $S.37R @S.40.
The estimated receipts for tomorrow
are: Wheat, 240 cars; corn, $50 cars !:
oats, 265 cars, and "a, 1000 head of hogs.

Wheat-The weather map this morning
was exceedingly unfaYorable for the
spring wheat movement and for thTeSh-
ing. There We're rains all over the North
west the past twenty-four hours. The
accumulation of wheat over the holidays
soon showed it's effect ON the price of
wheat, although the market opened strong
at 1ac over Fridays close for our De-
cenber.
Corn-There has been general selling
of corn this morning by shippers and ele-
vator people on improved weather condi-
lions the past four days. Receipts Of
corn at Chicago, 1888 cars for four days.
Visible supply Of corn increased 500, 900
