DECEMBER ONE AND a QUARTER
CENTS LOWER At THE CLOSE.
Weather and Weak Cables Cause the
Sharp Decline-Trade Is Large and
Active-Strength in Corn.

CHICAGO, Sept. 23.-Wheat ruled weak,
December closing 1i4c lower Corn was
steady, December showing a decline Of y
@Ac. oats were strong, final trades being
AGSc gain. Provisions closed from &c TO
15c lower.
Wheat opened firm, Influenced largely by
the bull sentiment carried over from last
night, December selling early up to 7Ss4c,
but the fine weather, the bearish situation
in foreign markets and the weakness which
finally ruled in the Northwest and at st.
Louis. induced heavy selling by commits
sion houses on the advance and the feeling
turned bearish. December went off to 77$4c
under the pressure The absence of eX-
port business was a depressing factor,
while cables were indifferent at the close.
Local traders bought freely, however, on the
sharp bulge in corn prices while wheat was
at the low mark and the close showed
portion of the loss regained, but with De-
cember still 1l4c under yesterdays final
figures, at 77A@77ssc. Trade was large and
active. Bradstreets worlds visible showed
an increase of 4,S00.0o0 bu, against 6043.0o0
bu last week and 2,SS6,ooo bu last year;
Clearances of wheat and flour We're equal
to 27o,000 bu with primary receipts 1,235,Wo
bu, against 1,65S,0c0 bu a year ago. Min
neapolis and Duluth reported receipts OF
36S cars, which with local receipts of 1o3
cars-but two of contract grade-made "a
total for the three points of 400 cars. against
169 last week and 9S5 year ago.
Corn after opening at a trifie higher level
was dragged down by the weakness in
wheat, but later renewed its upward ten
dency, and the close was isMAc better for
the December option at 47%d47lsc. ranging
between 47i4c and 4Sc. There was good
buying by cash houses early. and to this
was due much Of the strength while pre-
dictions of light frosts in several Western
States tonight helped the late tone. Local
receipts were 422 cars with SO of contract
grade.
Oats showed considerable strength the
greater part of the day in sympathy with
corn. There was selling on an early
advance by those who bought at the outset
and temporary weakness resulted, but the
later demand was general and prices ad-
vanced easily scarcity of selling orders.
December closed kQSsc higher at S7s4G577sc
after ranging between 3SSG3S1ec and 37$4c.
Local receipts were SO cars.
The provision market was slow and ir-
regular. October options being offered free
ly by commission houses and the result
was a decline of 1oc in closing pork prices at
Sl3. of l5c in lard. at S.75 and Of &c in
ribs at $40.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
VERY FAIR AMOUNT OF TRADE IN
ALL LINES OF BUSINESS.
Dry Goods and Groceries in strong
Position - Manufacturers Chary
About Accepting New Orders.

The conditions of trade continue very
steady TO strong and orders from the retail
trade liberal The steadiness in dry
goods is something remarkable. The very
high cost OF rsw material continues 20 re-
strict the output. and manufacturers in
many cases absolutely refuse 10 accept
recorders on any terms that can be accepted
Local jobbers are well stocked up, and
ready to meet the demands of their Gus
toners: but should there be an extraordin-
ary demand from the retail trade they
would find difftculty i'm restocking. Present
conditions indicate that country merchants
can make no mistake in providing for the
demands OF their trade promptly at prevail
ing quotations, as there Is no likelihood of
an eesing up OF the market In the near
future.
Groceries are steady TO strong in all the
staples. and this condition is likely to pre-
vail for some days or weeks to come. Pro-
visions. also. are firm. Candies are un-
changed as TO quotations, with brisk
movement. As one dealer put IL. '"rhe
trouble is to get the orders filed on time. I"
The drug trade is quite active. and the
same may be said OF all other branches
OF trade
Country produce is very steady. There
has been no change to note for some days
In quotations. There is fair amount of
fruits ana vegetables offered-suficient TO
tically unchanged from those that prevailed
early In the week.

Sept. 23-Cattle-Receipts. 1850; shipments. 500
The arrivals to-day included about 300 head OF
cattle billed direct TO local packers and the sup
ply sale hardly large as recently on
Wednesday There was no perceptble improve
ment in the quality condition of the consign-
merits. and a very large proportion OF the supply
were below the requirements of butchers. The
market opened with fair demand for good
steers, and with very few OF that hind on sale
they were taken rather promptly steady to
strong prices. In all other departments the OPEN
ing market slow, and it was difficult to
arrange a selling basis in prices In fact. aside
from the steers good enough TO sell around s.
and upwards. and top cows and heifers the mar
ket was as dull as it has been at any time re-
Gently, and in fact some salesmen declared they
had experienced more difficulty I'm finding
an outlet for the common to medium cattle. Buy
ers claimed that the cause for the slow trade was
that sellers were asking higher prices, while
sellers claimed they We're only expecting steady
prices and were being offered lower. Therefore,
it required considerable argument to agree on
prices but finally all that could be sold brought
about yesterdays figures. As usual for several
days past, the demand was not near equal to the
supply OF unfinished stock, and large number
answering this description had to be carried over.
There is no prospect for any improvement in the
market so far as the undesirable cattle are con-
cerned. but to-day there seemed TO be a little
healthier feeling for the thick fat stock of good
quality. Quotations:

Indianapolis people, or great many of
them at least, did some knocking on the
fair last week because ii was not managed
to suit them. They contended that il was
not the kind of a show that appeals TO
''city" people They seem 10 forget that
the state fair is not an institution that be-
longs 10 Indianapolis. but to the State. and
that there are other classes out over In
diana quite as important TO the progress and
welfare of the commonwealth the self
appointed city critics. These people
should be able to get satisfaction out of
their norse show this week. which they
advertised to the detriment OF the state
fair
