Chicnro Grain and Produce.

Chicago, Sept, IA Cold weather in the Canadian andywest caused strength today in the local wheat market, December closing at a net gain of 1-2 to 5-s. Corn was down 1-2 oats were off l-8 cents. Provisions were 100 to two cents lower. Wheat today re- covered much prevailing loss on buying brought out by the Low temperatures prevailing over the Wheat Fields of Western Canada. The weather bureau forecast says frost tonight for that sec- tion of the country and this tended to stimulate the buying of wheat here.
 Reports from New York which claim ed that an active export business was being transacted at the Seaboard were additional strengthening influences. The sharp break In corn caused con- siderable profit taking at times but prices held firm the greater part of the day and the market closed firm. December opened firm. December opened 3-S to 8-4 cents at 9.S 3-4 to 5-S, sold off to s7 3-4 and then advanced to 9s 7-S to ss. The close was at sS 3-S to 1-2.
 Provisions were dull and weak. The bearish feeling being due to the break in corn prices. At the close of January pork was off 20 cents at 15.45. Lard was down 10 to 12 1-2 at s.62 1-2 to 8. l Ribs were 10 cents lower at sec

THE STOCK MARKET


 New York, Sept. 14--The disordered condition in the metal markets was the dominating influence again in the stock market and defeated any tendency to- ward improvement prompted by other considerations.
 The distinction was marked again be- tween the railroad list and the metal industrials. the former being moderate ly affected by the depression on the latter. and showing some disposition to rally at the last The feature of the days market was the heavy liquida- tion in the United States Steel stocks. both classes failing to new low levels for the year The common stock sell- ing at 27 l-2 and the preferred at 90 1-4. EaA
 Evidently the speculative assumption was that the conditions that have over come the copper trade might develop in the iron and steel trade No news was forthcoming to indicate any fresh changes in the iron and steel trade. Effect was felt from the publication of a report from Pittsburg that the produc- CTS of iron had determined to meet any falling off in deniand with curtail- ment of production. Reports that the United States Metal Company. the sell ing agency of the Amalgamated Cop per Company. had cut It's price of elec- trolytie copper to 16 1-2 was an effect i've factor in the hands of the pear party. The principal product of the AInAt BauldIeu COpp6E SOhpahS tS Aaot lake, but electrolytic copper. The copper stocks were not So actively depressed as yesterday. neither Amalgamated Copper nor American Smelling selling at yesterdays low figures. Sentiment continued very Respondent, however. over the copper situation.
 The bank statement did not reflect the expected gain in cash put the changes in the averages of the differ ent items were small, in spite ofEgener- al transactions concluded during the week and confidence was unimpaired or the growing improvement of the money situation. Payment was made today of the $6. 000, 900 Standard oil dividend dis tribution. The under tone of the mar ket remained weak in spite of some fe- verish rallies in the closing dealings. Bonds were irregular Total sales, par value $1.196.000: United States 22s reg advanced 3-4 and the coupons 1-2 per cent on call.

TURNS TO AMERICA
CHINESE LOOKING TO UNCLE SAM
 AS THEIR FRIEND.
Mongolians are Greatly worried over the Threatened Terrft@rfmI Az.
 Sressions of Japan and
 EurOneun Powers.

London, Sept. 15.-The Chinese are again turning toward America as their only friend among the nations, who can be expected to take their side against the threatened territorial az gressionsA of Japan and European pow CTS. according to the statements con- tained in letters which have been re- ceived here from an exceptionally well informed American, who has been trav- cling in Manchuria and Northern China.
 President Roosevelt's proposal to re- init part of the indemnity appears to have effaced the resentment caused by the exclusion policy and the prepara- tfons made by Chinese mercantile guilds of Shanghai, which a year ago were actively promoting the boycott to give enthusiastic reception to Sec retary Taft. appears significant of the changed trend of Chinese feeling to- ward the United States.
 One letter says:
 'The Franco-Japanese entente is re- garded with muohl suspicion by the Chinese who consider that France and England are now mutually acquiescent as regards the Japanese policy-dis- tinctly an aggressive one-in Man churia- Should Russia sign a similar agreement with Japan (the Russo-Jap- anese convention has been signed since the writing of the letter quoted) China will have to turn to America for ass sistance, should such be needed"
