STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Sept 15.-Extensive short
selling and not unmixed liquidation was
the feature of the days stock market
particularly during the early session.
Much Of the selling was based on unfa-
vorable crop reports. While the market
movement was governed largely by this
factor, others almost as depressing exert
ed no inconsiderable influence. London
advices reported that the Macedonian
situation had assumed a graver aspect
and this, together with the probablel
crisis in the British cabinet bringing in
creased weakness to consols, all made
for lower prices. 4 further hardening of
discounts in Londo.. and Paris was re-
ported, though Paris exchange on Lon
don was easier. For all that London
bought perhaps 5000 shares on balance,
chiefly Atchison. Southern Pacific and
Erie. 1t is quite probable that all Of
these transactions were of the arbitrage
sort.
The local market opened with rather
more than the usual amount Of activity.

soon followed, under the lead of Atchi-
son. Other features of strength at this
time were st. Paul and Reading a num-
Der of inactive issues. Including General

Chemical were traded in moderately. all

take a passimistic view of the call issued
by the syndicate to carry out the bond
conversion. The heaviness OF Amalgam-
ated Copper reflected drop in Rio Tintos

increase OF 500 900 In net for the year

WHEAT HOLDS ITS OWN
EARLY Holders Let Go but Buy

FR0STS DIDN'T APPEAR
Provisions Keep at About
the Same Values.

Chicago, Sept. 15.-The early wheat
market showed easier tone and there
vas a disposition on the part of the long
holders TO let go. December responded
with a decline from S2l4c to SIC within
the first hour Easier cables and weak
ness in corn were the influences. but re-
ports of the effects Of the rain in the
northwest grew more sensational and
houses with northwest connections, Ar
mour and local shorts bought Receipts
were fair, but offerings became limited
and the market soon reacted, December
going to S314c. At that price there was
profit taking on large scale and part
of the advance was lost. the close show
ing December back to S2i4QS25sc, a gain
of 1zc.. Trading was active and on a
large scale. Clearances of wheat and

receipts were 1606 900 bushels. against

three points of 1,1S9 cars, against I91
cars last week and 1,4S1 cars a year ago.
Corn had occasional spurts of activity
but on the whole traders appeared 10 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 threatening freezing weather west
there was renewed activity in the ranks
of the shorts. The result was reaction
from 511sc for December-the lowest
point reached-to 521sc, but the strength
did not hold. Profit taking brought the
price of that option back TO 51l4c. where
it closed. barely steady with a loss of

HOG MARKET HIGHER
Sales Were Made at 7 ~
Cents Advance.
TOP PRICE WAS S6.75
Cattle Market Was Active and
About Steady.

Hog receipts were light yesterday and
the market was active and nc higher.
A few sales at the close might have
been lee higher than anything sold the
previous day. Cudahy and Dold bought
everything in sight and then did not get
as many hogs as they wanted. There
was a marked difference in the demand
for heavy hogs. The packers heretofore
have acted as if they did not want any
well finished hogs, but now they buy the
heavy hogs if they are smooth and fat.
The heavy, rough hogs, Of course, sell at
q lower price. All of the good hogs at
the close sold for S5.75. and some that
were not extra brought that figure. The
buyers for the packing houses seemed
10 realize that they could not get as
many hogs as they wanted and they con
tented themselves with taking what did
come. Dold bought 2S5 and Cudahy IS2.
