Chicago Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO. Oct. 3.-A seevre decline occurred in wheat today due to the bearish advices from the Southwest. where stocks are said to be piling up rapidly and December closed at a loss of l6iM. December corn closed lc lower. oats were off %0l%. while January provisions were from 2la to 715 lower.
 With the opening sales wheat prices started in downward direction and the decline con tinued throughout the entire session. The open ing was barely steady on rather indifferent ca bles December being unchanged 10 shade higher at 78%67Sh to 7Sls Local houses with St. Louis connections had selling orders from the start and added to this was the break of nearly cents in the December price at St. Louis One or two of the big houses here were on the selling side early and this started a general liquidation and values declined rap Idly One of the chief factors in creating the bearish sentiment was the large promary re- ceipts those at St Louis showing the greatest gain. There was little demand at any time in the session and the volume of trading small Closing pircs were at about the bottom figures. final figures on December be- ing lls lower at 77A977$. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 227. POO. Prim- ary receipts were II4l.7oo bushels. against l, 57oo bushels a year ago Minneapolis and Duluth reported receuts of 633 cars. which. with local receipts of 39 cars, none of contract grade, made total receipts for the three points of 67I cars, against S77 cars last week and 93I cars year ago.

Virgin dE Faunce's Cotton Letter.

 NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The Government cot ton crop report was construed quite bullish today. The condition of 6S. 1 was considerably under the condition reported last month. but it was over points better than the October condition last year. The trade rather mixed In Its views during the greater portion of the day. It was figured that the present condition while higher than that of last year finds the price of cotton considerably higher than at this time last year. The trade also llaid much stress on the fact that the acreage this year is quite large and that a result tn ecrop will be an extensive one The busi- ness was rather nervous and uncertain There was some evidence of clique support during the day. but the whole certain lopgs were inclined to take profits on the better levels. The room eltment did the bulk of the business. the outside element being inclined to hold off until next week. There was a moderate de- mand for spot cotton and offerings were only moderate. The foreign cables were generally about as expected and the Liverpool specula- tive operations fin the local pit were without feature. Shorts covered to some extent during the day. but the large bears inclined to wait for natural declines before taking on the cotton. of which they short The ment of cotton continued quite liberal. and many interests disposed to look for a further increase in the receipts during the suing week. On the other hand, stocks were generally regarded as small in this country and in Europe, and the argument was naturally advanced that sooner or later the foreign de- mand will haev to increase or the mills on the other side will have to curtai production.

 NEW ORLEANS. Oct. 3.-At the opening of sentiment was overwhelmingly bearish Liv- erpool started with decline which was fully answered on this side. However, the Gov ernment's Agricultural Department condition figures made up to Sept. 25th of e5.I com pares with Si 2 for August 5S for Septem- Der. 1901. and 6i.4 the year before. and ten-year average of 67.4. which was published at io:i5. Washington time. was sufficient to arrest the decline and cause a reaction of some 20 points to 39 for December when consider able sho tselling set n resulting in a reac- tion. Final figures are from 2 to points above yesterdays close The future course of prices is wide open to discussion and there are numerous factors to be considered both outside of and strictly within cotton cir cies.. Teh bureau figures compared with 1902 taken as a mathematical problem, wyould in- dicate crop much in excess of last year. but 1t must not be forgotten that the season year the reverse was the case. and when the figures (5S. 1 for September. l9o2.) were made up the farmers figured on little or no top crop whereas there was considerable addition to the yield from that course. The visible supply figures are unquestionably bearish and show an increase for the week in American cotton of 24i .2ee against is5.454 for corresponding time last Mills takngs. l39. GOO. against 243, 900. which is not surprising con sidering the price and the desire of the spin to get his supplies as eheaply as possible Spots however, are now down to about a parity with futures and an increased inquiry was evil dent today. We believe that quotations are now around figure at which the mill men will take hold and that necessity will not permit them to remain out of the market much longer. Finances appear to be the upgrade and while we do not expect consumption to reach the maximum this season. all indications point to a crop beneath requirements. However. we look for frequent fluctuations while the bulk of the crop is being marketed,

tBy Private Wire From c. w. Lee & Col
 NEW YORK. Oct. 3-The report today sus- tained all that has been said about crop de- terioration this month. We do not doubt that many have made light of the damage and said reports were all exaggerated In view of the decline of 6 points in condition. or the most extensive decline in a great many years. in view of the lateness of the crop and the needs of the world we do not believe in shorting cot ton for the time being. The condition of Tex as Is 5l compared with AZ last year. As soon the condition of the crop becomes gem erally known. we are inclined to look for more buying by consumers It is hard to just how spinncrs will dare to remain out of the market on such a report as this. They have no cotton on hand and will not be disposed to let foreigners get all the cotton. After last years experience 1t would not be policy to de- fer buying till prices are higher. Some cot ton will be bought now; possibly such buying as would run in large number of shorts. The market Is oversold and this may cause an ad- vance later on If one can not buy moderately on the decline the situation does not seem such as to warrant short selling. It will be too dangerous with the crop going back every day. On the report there was some short cov- ering today a,1d the most conservative traders in the market were more inclined to buy than sell cotton Of course the situation is very complicated. but crop prospects furnish no evidence of over-production and we will not have too much cotton this year.
