WHEAT PRICES BREAK
ON BEARISH CONDITIONS.
BULLS ARE UNABLE TO
CHECK THE SELLING.
Corn Holds Up Fairly Well, but
Closes With a Slight Loss on
the Active Futures.

a sharp decline in wheat values was
the feature of yesterdays local grain
market. Corn held up fairly well. Bulls
made an early attempt to rush the shorts
to cover. but later conditions were so I'M
mistakably bearish that those who bought
at the opening turned sellers in the last
hour Light receipts in the Northwest
were more than offset by the brisk move
ment to this market and the lack of for
eign response to domestic advances.
Weather conditions were generally favor-
able. There was more talk of strike by
Northwestern millers. but this had only a
slight effect. Russian and R~oumanian
offerings were said to be large and export
trading was extremely light.

had a depressing effect, the market was

WHEAT OPENS FIRM, BUT
TURNS WEAK AND LOWER.
LACK OF EXPORT BUSINESS
A DEPRESSING FACTOR.
Corn Dragged Down in Sym
pathy, but Afterward Regains
Strength and Closes Higher.

Chicago. Sept. 23.-Wheat ruled weak,
Dec. closing 1l4c lower. Corn was steady,
Dec. showing a decline of 1sa14c. Oats
were strong. final trades being at La9sc
gain. Provisions closed from sc to 15c
lower.
WHEAT.
Wheat opened firm. influenced largely by
the bull sentiment carried over from last
night, Dec. selling early w to 7SAc, but
the fine weather, the bearish situation in
foreign markets and the weakness which
finally ruled in the Northwest and St.
Louis induced heavy selling by commits
-sion-houses on the advance, and the feel
ing turned bearish. Dec. went off TO 774c
under the pressure. The absence OF export
business was n depressing factor. while
cables We're 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 q portion of the loss regained,
but with Dec. still nc under yesterdays
final figure, at ThTI12sc. Trade was large
and active. Bradstreet's worlds visible
showed an increase of 100000 bu., against
G.0i3,GO0 bu. last week and 2,S36 600 bu. last
year. Clearances of wheat and flour were
equal TO 2I0.S0J bu.. with primary receipts
l.335.3G bu.. against 1880 bu. n year
ago. Minneapolis and Duluth reported re
Ceipt of 1S cars-but . Of contract grade
made a total for the three points of 466
cars, against 16S last week and JoJ a year
ago.
CORN.
Corn. after opening at a trine higher
level. was dragged down by the weakness
in wheat, but later renewed its upward
tendency. and the close was isG14c better
for the Dec. option, at 4I5sd4I12c, ranging
between 47hc and 4Sc. There was good
buying by cash houses early. and to this
was due nue. of the strength. while pre-
dictions Of light frosts in several Western
states tonight helped the late tone. Local
~receipts were 400 cars, with 60 of contract
grade.
OATS.
Oats showed considerable strength the
greater part Of the day. in sympathy with
corn. There was selling on an early adj
vance by those who bought at the outset,
and temporary weakness resulted, but the
later demand was general and prices ad-
vanced easily on scarcity OF selling or
ders. Dec. closed AGSc higher. at STAG
SFkc, after ranging between 3sasG3SI2c and
37%c. Local receipts were s. cars.

LIVESTOCK MARKET.
Native supply Fair-Beef Cattle
Strong-Sheep Close Weak.

NATIVE CArTLE-Beef Steers-A fair sup
ply OF native cattle came in, the largest por-
ton OF which comprised stocker and feeder
offerings. A very small share Of butcher
grades was included. but not a large repre-
sentation OF beef cattle. The three days re-
ceipts total T.eCO head. showing u decrease OF
over 1900 head compared with the same period
of last week, and a few hundred smaller than
the same period a month ago. The early sup
ply in the steer department embraced about -
loads. S loads being Westerns and the balance
natives. sales on the early market Included

$40. medium and fair kinds, loo to l,GJ lbs.
at A-6Jq5, with a few palmer kinds at 81. 20
and under.
Most OF the late arrivals were of medium to
good grade and several strings Of fair to good
Westerns were included. Values on all fat of
ferinss were strong TO l0c higher. While me-
dunn grades sold with more life than on Tues
day, values generally did not rule any better
than steady. Westerns sold from S3.god4.4 40 and
We're considered fully steady. no sales OF West
eTn stun appearing owing TO the lateness when
they were weighed.
