CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
 CHICAGO. Sept 16:.A 2-cent increase heavy liquidation due to warmer weather and lower cables. The market closed al- most at the lowest point Corn ,d vas down 1@1hc; oats a shade higher and provisions unchanged to 5G7hc lower.
 From start to finish wheat was character ized by extreme weakness. A belief that the present bull campaign had reached its zenith apparently prevailed and as re- suit tho market was subjected to heavy realizing sales throughout the session Warmer weather in the West and Northwest was perhaps the most influential factor The improvement in weather, together with lower cables caused liberal selling at the opening. December being down l. a %c to M %c at 1. 1.1+41.15A May opened 9s Q kc to M e s4c lower at .16A 9l. 16h. A slight rally occurred soon after the opening on covering by shorts and May advanced to ll6%c. The rally was only momentary. however, the market soon weakening again under free offerings. The weakness of the wheat markets in the Northwest was pow erful influence during the latter part of the day A decline of 4c In cash prices at Duluth and sharp break at Minneapolis seemed to presage more liberal country movement in that section. A report of- q St. Louis trade journal was construed as hearish, the announcement being made that weather conditions were extremely favor able for seeding operations and that large acreage is assured. Before the decline was checked prices were fully Pc below the high point of the day. December sold off to il3 and closed at 1.13h q1 lsA. and May sold to l.14ts and closed at l.l4%9 Is. Clearances equaled 46.60o bushels. Exports for the week. according to Bradstreet'S were equal to s3s.ooO bushels. Primary re- ceipts were 52,600 bushels. against 1.05T.- 100 year ago. Minneapolis. Duluth and Chicago reported 574 cars, against 424 last week and 799 a year ago.
 Prospects of better weather continued large primary receipts and the slump in wheat were tho factors that accounted for a break of 1e in corn. Longs were liberal sellers throughout the day. December open ed %gAc to NGNc lower at 5lH g52. sold between 50% and 52h and closed at 51E Receipts. 5O5 cars. 3S contract.
 In spite of the weakness of other grains oats held steady. Business was light. De. cember opened Ac lower at 321z 32%, sold up to 32A and closed at the top. Receipts. l12 cars
 Influenced by the weakness of corn and by the continued liquidation of october holdings. provisions had an easier under tone. Trading was quiet. January pork closed 2ik q 5e lower at 12 .7b: lard off SQ 7lac at 7,lOG7.l2hc and ribs unchanged at 65 5d6.67Il
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat. s4 cars; corn. sos cars; oats. 13s cars; hogs. ll.0o0 head.

 (By Private Wire from Gilbert 6 Clay.l

NEW ORLEANS. Sept. 1e-Al informa- tion pointed to a lower market today. The Liverpool quotations were disappointing and cables evinced an easier tendency with only moderate activity The chart showed much improvement, superb picking weather being general over the entire belt and the frost moving north. Forecasts suggested down 2 points. Trading continued on very limited lines and tre range of fluctuations was almost insignificant Miss Giles sub mitted a. semi monthly condition figure showing deterioration for the past 15 days of about per cent. and further stated that per cent of the crop would be endangered by frost, against 20 last year Some selling may have been induced by this re- port. as prices experienced decline of a few points at about the time of its re- ceipt. The Liverpool reduction was Englsh points on both options and spots, with sales of 1000 bales of the latter Man chester trade in cloths and yarns was re- ported quiet. Spot business in our market was not particularly large. for the quite suf- ficient reascn that there is not a great deal of cotton here, ana while the inquiry was understand, however. that a very excellent business is being done in the interior. The season has not progressed far enough to bring about an accumulation at the ports, and consequently broad markets there, early requirements being generally obtained throughout the country. Opinions as to the course of The. tnerket are quite evenly bal port of both contentious that the highest respect endures between those differing, clearly evidenced by the existing truce. We expect a continuation of scalping condi- tions until developments become of a more convincing character.

| d Il. 4 ' c 4 out hedges bought in the interior yesterday. but largely bearish pressure applied by a prominent American operator> There was good deal of interruption to teiegraphsc communication with the South early and absence of outside orders to hammer prices The result was that the lowest level of the day was reached shortly after the opening when prices were depressed about 10 points under yesterdays closing The strength of interior spot markets hcwevev caused sharp rally which recovered all the early loss. although futures had declined 2s points from yesterdays prices.
 Spots were selling at interior at prices to current Exporters are free buyers at full prices. There seems no reason why fu- lures should have declined. Damage from Wednesda''s storm was confined to small places in Youth Caroina' and North Caro- lima, and 1t had no influence on the mar ket Market is in the hands of professionals who are quick to seize the opportunity to pepress prices The market seems to have had all the reaction that was due and to be ready for another upturn.

Virxin Taunce's Cotton Letter. (By Private Wire from J. Walter Labares

NEW YORK. Sept. 1e--The cotton mar ket opened easy in response to the lower quotations cabled from abroad, some GOV ering by shorts. shortly after the opening caused an advance of about 3 points, but here offerings became large and this fea- ture, coupled with some aggressive short selling, carried prices down to below the opening figurea The more favorable wealth CT South was bear help Trading was not active and neither side appeared dis posed to take the aggressive. pending more definite news from the cotton belt. The general feeling in the pit. however, was in favor of higher prices It is reported from New England that the textile strike will soon be broken. What this means to the cotton market can readily be conceived, ana with the mills running to their full capacity and with an increased demand for cotton goods, spinners will be compelled to enter market as heavy purchasers in spite of the comparatively high price of cotton and pros poets for good crop. It is for this reason that we favor the long side of the market and are .$advising purchases at present prices.

New York, Oct. 1.-Tne second annual
report of the Rockefeller Institute for
Medical Research, just issued, deals
largely with the archaeological investi-
cation of children affected with differ
ent forms of diarrhoea.
The report declares that dysentery is
contagious and that the use of anti
dysenteric is not proved a success.
Nearly half of the children treated with
the serum died and in only few cases
did a noteworthy improvement follow
it's administration. The investigators,
however, have not yet given up hope
of using the serum to advantage and
the experiments will be continued
The Rockefeller institute was founded

So far the experts connected with the

largely to children's diseases. TIE
scope and facilities of the institute will
soon be increased by the erection of a
laboratory which will cost $500, 900.
