late Wednesday night by the steamer

had held her at their mercy. All the
way up the coast she battled with
them. F.rst almost all OF her deck
load was carried away and then ore
sail after another went By the board.
Her steering gear became injured
and she rolled In the trough Of the
sea while dig waves crashed over her.
The strain was so great that hel

his language, but repeated it to the

TRADE IN CHICAGO.

nv Telegraph to The Tribune
Chicago Sept. 2a.-The wheat market changed It's
tone today and ruled heavy. Declines at the close
were sc for September. and 1c each for December
and Nav Corn and oats were influenced by the
weakness IN wheat the former leaving off at losses
for the day OF &c in September. &C in May, and &c
in December Oats lost from &c TO &c, and pro-
visions were in line with the declining tendency in
grain.
Wheat opened with an easier tone. due TO the
sensational decline in price Of September wheat at
Liverpool, which was equal 10 1910 q busheI, and
declines OF Sc in the more remote futures at the
same place.
There was little appearance Of the recent Armour
support. which was only nominaIly maintained by
the manager Of that firm personally taking a little
around the opening. The impression in the pit at
the time was that his brokers were doing some
selling on a larger scale while he was doing the
opposite. There was no particular change il the

the lowest 50zsc, and the close $3.50. Old De-
cember closed at 45C. The highest was 4524c
Unloading of longs and general selling charac-
terzed the market for oats at the opening. Trad
ing was active for the first two hours. but gave
way TO duIness later in the day, with prices rest
ing at about 14c decline from yesterdays close.
The weakness in the other grains was depressing

Receipts were 304 cars. December sold from 2Sl5c
down to 2S1sc, closing at 2S1sc to 2814c May closed
at 80Ac The highest was 3o12c and the lowest
801sc 70 S014c
Provisions ruled weak There was considerable
liquidation in evidence. and, no support was af-
forded this delivery, prices rapidly receded. The
packers have shown no disposition Of late to hold
prices and. if il is the plan to shake off traers,
they are meeting with success. as the smaller
holders in the last few days have become dis
couraged and have been selling out in small lots.
January however showed steadier tendency.
There was better demand for this delivery, and
offerings were few The buying of October was
scattered and the largest trade was the purchase
