 That the spinner has been keeping out of the market of late. simply because of the restriction of speculation In the South, has been plainly shown by his attitude since pressure was brought to bear on the New Orleans market Prior to that time sales of 10000 and l2,ooo bales were of common occurrence.

CHIcAGO GRAIN AND PRODUCE.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-Realizing by local longs caused a weak wheat market here today. At the close wheat for December delivery was down 1c: corn was Nc higher; oats were off Ac. Provisions were un- changed to 5c higher.
 Sentiment in wheat was bearish all day. despite a fair amount of bullish news. The most important influence for higher prices was a higher market at Liverpool The strength of corn on the local exchange all so aided the bulls somewhat.
 During the early part of the day prices showed but little change, but as the ses- sion advanced several large local holders sold freely and brought about material de- cIines. The market closed weak and near the lowest point of the day,
 December opened a shade to Ac higher at $1 .0o% to E. declined to 99hc and clos ed at 9s% Q %c.
 The corn market opened strong because of frosts last night in various sections of the corn belt. The advance met with heavy selling movement, but the market held strong until the close.
 sold between 5skc and 59Ac and closed at 5S%c. Local receipts were 564 cars with 292 of contract grade.
 Oats were weak because of heavy liquida- ton, the weakness of wheat and a belief that the Northwestern crop will be larger than had been estimated. The close was weak.
 December opened hc higher at 52Kc and sold off to 51hc. where 1t closed
 The provisions market was firm early in the day because of the advance in corn and higher prices for live hogs. Later the market eased off on realizing. Final quota tions on January pork were 5c higher at S15. 35. Lard unchanged at ss. .75 Ribs were 2Mc higher at s7.s7h.

MARKET FOR COTTON

New York. Sept 25.--The cotton market was higher during today's trading, on reports of steadiness on the part of interior spot holders, of a better demand from the spinners, and on predictions for frost tonight in the Carolinas. The close was steady at net advance of 12 to IT points. Sales for the day were estimated at 275,000 bales. The opening was firm at an ad- vance of to 16 points fin response to higher Liverpool cables than expected. and during the early session the mar ket worked about IS to 16 points net higher on the active months This was followed by a reaction to within 6 to ' points of last nights finals an- der realizing by recent buyers and sell ing for a turn, but the market was rallied sharply during the early after noon by the frost predictions. There was more or less selling at the ad- vance, but sellers were not aggress- i've in the face of the outlook for cold weather in the eastern belt, but the close was near the top on the active months, October being relatively weak, presumably in fear of notices on Fri day.

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Sept, 25.-Today's small total of business accomplished at the stock exchange was done mostly Tn Iew short periods of comparative ac- session the market offered an appear ance of stagnation greater than at any time this year, this alone sufficing to account for the general tendency of prices to sag. The wide declines re- corded in some active stocks on light transactions made bad impression ow- ing to the suggestion of paralysis of any demand to necessitate such radical price concessions to effect sales. New York. New Haven and Hartford was conspicuous example with drop to l42 following reports that the new stock was to be offered to stockholders writing syndicate. The company's last offering of stock was at 15o. The fall In prices in the general list was mod crate. The most important news de- report of killing frosts in the. West, extending to the northern portions or the corn belt, the lateness of the crops in maturing this year giving occasion for some real concern. This was solved to some extent when the mod crate effect of the news was perceived. One cause of the halt in speculative activity Is the desire to await the out come of conferences in progress to de eide on the pattern for new steel rails, as it Is felt that the decision will be followed by clearer light on the dimen- sions of the, steel rail requirements and it's bearing on the future activity Of the steel trade as a whole. A recov- cry in the London price of copper was feature of the days news and this helped the copper industrials to resist the depression. Money on call contin- ued easy. but the shipment of currency to the crop regions is now actively In progress and likely to be continued Tor some time. Foreign exchange turned sharply downwards in spite of the stiffness of money rates in London due to preparations for the quarterly and over rate on American securities at the settlement proved easier than expected and occasioned some purchases.
 Bonds irregular. Total sales, par value, 2074.000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.
