FIRM CLOSE in WHEAT
MARKET is EASY AT THE OPENING,
BUT GAINS STRENGTH LATER.
Corn Rules Weak, Traders Holding on
to Judge COndftiOns-Oats I'm SYM
pathy with Wheat.

CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Wheat was easy at
the opening, and the market gained strength
and closed firm at gain of nc for Deem
Der. Corn ruled weak, December closing &c
lower. Oats were steady at a small adj
vance, December closing 1sc higher. Provi-
sions were easy to 15c lower
The early wheat market showed an easier
tone, and there was a disposition the
part of long holders to let go. December
responded with decline from S24c to SIC
weakness in corn were the influences, but
reports of the effects of rains Northwest
grew more sensational, and houses with
Northwest connections, Armour and local
shorts bought Receipts were fair, but Of
ferings became limited and the market
soon reacted, December going to S3Ac. At
that price there was profit-taking on large
scale, and part of the advance was lost,
the close showing December back to S21s0p
S2ssc, gain of Ac. Trading was active and
on a large scale. Clearances of wheat and
flour equaled 5000 blu. Primary receipts
We're 100000 blu, against 1,SSS,0OO bu last
year Minneapolis and Duluth reported re-
cepts of 1.051 cars, which, with local re-
ceipts of 100 cars-only four of contract
grade-made total for the three points of
1,1S9 cars, against 1,94l cars last week and
,4S1 cars year ago.
Corn had occasional spurts of activity, but
on the whole traders appeared to be holding
off until conditions can be more accurately
judged. Prices were down early because
the expected frOsts were not realized, but
upon renewed reports Of threatened freezing
weather West there was renewed activity
in the ranks of the shorts. The result was
a reaction from 5lhc for December-the
lowest point reached-to 521sc, but the
strength did not hold. Proft-takng brought
the price of that option back to 51hc, where
ii closed barely steady, with a loss Of &c.
The market was nervous. offerings light,
and trade very moderate in volume. Local
receipts were 765 cars, with As of contract
grade.
The oats market was sympathetic, wheat
being the governing influence. Local bulls
preferred the long side on the weather out
look but trading was small and featureless.
December closed Isc higher at 3Slsc. after
ranging between 1850 and 3Ss4c. Local re-
ceipts were 209 cars.
The early provision tone was steady on
the hog situation. with prices unchanged.
but there was free scattered selling later,
and the close showed October pork off l5c
at s13671k with lard down 7l2c to 1Oc at
IS 49, and ribs unchanged at 50.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
30 cars; corn, 315 cars; oats, 40 cars; hogs,
%. 900.

LOCAL WHOLESALE TRADE
INDICATIONS ARE THAT EGGS WILL
NOT BE CHEAP THIS FALL.
All Lines of General Business Are Re-
ported Fair-Grocery and Hard
ware Trades Are Excellent.

In all the lines of trade merchants speak
OF general business as fair for the second
week In September. The trains yester-
day brought in number of buyers who
came with their families to visit the State
fair and take the forenoon to visit the
wholesale houses, examine stocks and get
better acquainted WITH the owners of the
stores. The situation in the dry goods
market has not changed materially for
some days. Buyers are beginning to take
fall and winter goods fully as freely as in
corresponding seasons. Jobbers who have
large supplies OF cotton goods are dispos-
ing Of them at relatively lower prices than
they can be replaced. Wooden goods are
firmly held, and the market is in strong
tone. The wholesale grocery trade is quite
brisk Sugar is the most active article,
there being good demand for IL this
month A local sugar broker says he is
making a record this month, having made
heavier sales the first two weeks in Sep
TENDER than IN any corresponding period
since he has been in business. The weaker
tone 10 the market will probably Increase
sales the remainder OF the month. as there
IS little probability of further reductions
OF Importance in the sugar market The
hardware trade Is fully up 10 the move
ment of last year at the correspondine
time. Prices I'm the main are well held. but
some dealers are OF the opinion that there
will come a time when concessions will be
made In some lines of steel and iron goods
In paints and oils fair trade Is reported
Dealers express the opinion that linsesd
oil will advance on account of the frost in
the Northwest, which will iniure fay seed
II is feared. The report regarding produce
IS that trade is in excess Of the corre.pond-
Ing period last year. but still the uni,sual
warm weather for September Is afYecting
fruits. Grocers are conservative In their
purchases and are buying sparingly lest
goods rot on their hands. Irish potatoes
are in good supply and easier In price
Choice apples as well are In good demand
but prices are hardly as firm as ten DAYS
ago. The egg market continues strong and
prices tending higher. Receipts OF strictly
fancy stock are not large, and dealers are
drawing more less upon storage goods
TO supply the demand. which is unusually
large, and from present indications cheap
eggs need not be expected this fall. But
ter OF choice grades Is in excellent de-
mand. and the same Is true OF well fatted
country poultry. especially large young
chickens. The flour market Is little slow.
an impression prevailing among dealers
that lower prices are to prevail IN the not
Instant future. In other lines of trade
there Is nothing calling for special mention.

Horses-The receipts OF horses this week are
more liberal, nearly 200 head having arrived
for the initial sale conducted by the Warmsn-
Black-Chamberlain Company. The consignments
consisted principally OF good heavy chunks and
draft horses, and there were fewer common
horses than last week. so that the average quail
ity to-day satisfactory. There
a good increase in the attendance of buyers
especially from Eastern and New England States
and the increased competition. OF course, created
livelier market The demand was best for the
high-class stock, and all that answered that de-
scription sold promptly at strong prices Other
kinds were lower, but less
difficult to sell. There were several extra good
horses in their class that sold around $500. and
a large proportion OF the medium TO good chunks
and draft and coach horses sold from $lz5 TO
