CHICAGO. Sept 15.-Snow in the Canadian
Northwest and reported decrease in the
to-day in turning the wheat market upward.
At the close the December option showed
gain Of 1SQli2c- At the outset sentiment In
the wheat pit was weak, largely in sympathy
with a sharp break in corn prices, the non
appearance OF predicted heavy frosts being
the depressing influence affecting the corn
market. Some Of the initial weakness was
possibly traceabe TO the estimated size of the
crop given out by two weli-known trade
journals. The figures in both instances made
the total yield about $40, 000. coo bushels an
amount considerably larger than several pre-
vious private crop estimates. When trading

were advices from Winnipeg claiming poor

Trade in the fruit market was active on 10
cal account and aside from Melons and Ber-
ries. choice offerings OF all descriptions met
with a good demand at well maintained rates.

bulk of the days receipts were not delivered
until late after most buyers had left the mar
sket. Owing TO the continued cool weather,
there was very little inquiry Tor Melons. ana

previous striking advances. Aside from re

The marking I'D Of the oan loan rate to >

shrinkage in the bank surplus and was an
influence IN the growing weakness OF the stock
market which carried the grangers and Pa

the gains elsewhere. Bankers loan bills also
made their appearance in the foreign exchange
