CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-WHEAT-Bearis
Influences predominated IN the wheat
pit at the opening. as q consequence
a reaction was in order. May wheat
sold off from 1914 to 106A. while the
December sold down from 1918 to
1OO%. There were various Influences
to cause the weakness. chief among
them were the lower foreign markets;
Liverpool opening three-Quarter of a
penny lower and closing almost a
penny under Saturdays figures,
Weather conditions in the northwest
were moro favorable than expected;
severe frosts were predicted for the
extreme northwest. but they failed to
materialize. Reports from that SEQ
ton Of the country, however. are not
very encouraging. the crop being back
ward ana a frost at the present time
would retard 1t still farther. Statistics
throughout the day were rather bear
ish. The receipts Of new grain at this
market being 2ss cars; estimates for
tomorrow still larger Arrivals OF new
grain at all primary points larger than

port was reported. New York is said
TO have sold about 100000 bushels Of
wheat TO exporters A4AAN al III ssN4AS 0N-

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Sept. 23-The stock mar
ket suffered a slight reaction today due
in the main 70 profit taking by pro-
fessional operators who purchased
stocks last week. Copper and Shelters
were again the weak issues The re-
port of another cut in the metal mar
ket and rumors of cuts in the dividends
% several of the subsidiary companies
of the Amaigamated Copper company
was the chief bearish factor.
The railroad list also showed some
depreciation in comparison with Satur-
days closing figures. Union facihc de-
clined a point and one half; ST Paul
one point: tho Hul shares about point
and one half and Reading one point
The market was almost stagnant at
times. The entire dealings We're con-
fined almost exclusively to the above
named stocks.
The break in the grain markets at
Chicago should have given some i'm
petus to bull operators, but this factor
was ignored
The market seems unable to extract
itself from the rut into which it has
fallen. During the past ten days stocks
have not varied over three points from
top to bottom This iethargic condl-
ton will not induce outside speculation.
therefore the professional element have
the market to themselves.
Money conditions are not altogether
satisfactory although call loans can be
had at reasonable rates, but long time
loans are still being made at per cent
The demand for the New York city
bonds continue good and at a higher
range of prices.
