CONTINUED GAIN
 IN WHEAT MARKET Foreign News Gives Increased
 Strength to Wheat RECEIPTS ARE VERY HEAVY
RECEIPTS ARE VERY HEAV'
Corn Is Affected by Special Weather Forecast Predicting Rain Which Causes a Decline, Oats are
 Lower, Provisions Lower.

Chicago, September 1-The wheat mar ket gave evidence of broad elements of strength, advancing in the face of heavy receipts in the northwest to a firm close. The undertone of the corn market, on the contrary. was heavy, the weather map indicating the end of a long dry spell. Oats sympathized with corn, while provisions increased in value under the influence of rise in the price at the stock yards
 At the opening the wheat market had the support of firm cables and the strength of northwestern markets, which were firm in the face of enormous re- ceipts. On top of this came the pre- diction that arrivals would continue heavy for some time as threshing is gen. orally reported finished in North Da- kota. Winnipeg received S94 care today, compared with only 3S year ago, when the season was much later, Opening prices showed a fractional advance all along the line, December A@sso over Saturdays close at 9SAQ9Sssc Buying was general and liberal selling largely for the account of profit-taking found steady market. Reports of 42 cars taken for export were influential In the advance and, although in the late session, after the most buying orders had been sat isfied, there was a reaction in prices. The close was firm, December Aqt5sc over Saturady, at 9S%@9SMc.
 Primary receipts were 2,259, ,000 bushels, compared with 1,1SO.OO0 bushels a year ago. Local receipts were CT cars, with 17 of contract grade.
 The issuance by the government of special long time forecast predicting abundant rain this week started con- siderable realizing in the corn market and in the absence of marked support the tone was heavy. An incident of the day was the selling of new high record of the season by the September option which touched 81ssc, but failed to hold 1t. There was very little bus mess in this delivery. The cash market was comparatively firm, car lots being in good demand with prices A01so higher A fair demand was also reported in the sample market Local receipts were 3O3 cars with 118 of contract grade.
 The oats market was comparatively dull, the tone exhibiting a heaviness borrowed chiefly from corn. The coun- try was seller of December and To- cal longs were smaller sellers of May Local receipts were 311 cars.
 The provisions market was steady Light receipts, an advance at the yards and firmness at Liverpool, caused ad- vances in the market today, prices closing from 7hcQ17Ao over Satur- day.

STOCK MARKET IS
 VERY SLUGGISH. Trade Is In Waiting Mood and
 Much Restricted PRICES DECLINE. SHARPLY  Adjustment of Hartman Pacific Stocks Is Being Awaited and This is Primarily Responsible for
 Lower Closing Prices.
PRICES DECLINE SHARPLY

New York, September 14.-Whilo not precisely apathetic, today's stock market lost much in animation com pared with last weeks rate of activity The dullness of the trading through much of the session was due to waiting attitude rather than to indif- ference. The waiting was on an eN- pected announcement of financial re- adjustments of the Hartman Paciflcs primarily. There were definite intima tions that some such announcement was to come shortly and speculative surmise was alive as to it's nature, with no authentic information to guide it. A segregation of Union Pacific treasury assets and their distribution in the form of shares in a holding company was a form of the surmise heard much of News that D. H. liar riman had not returned to his office from his country home, left the situa- tion in suspense. A large proportion of all the dealings was in the two Hartman Pacific stocks and Reading. These three stocks were lifted aggres- sively at the opening and at various times thereafter.
 A large proportion of all the deal ings was in the two Hartman Pacific stocks and Reading. The way in which prices ran off from the opening level suggested distribution and a suspicion of this dominated the professional at titude towards the market for the rest of the session. The quieter specula tion was due primarily, no doubt, to the recognition that conditions have ceased to work toward increasing supplies for the money market and have turned in the direction of deple- ton. Some impression was caused by the announcement of an arrival or S75O,O00 of Australian gold This, it was explained, was the belated result of a transaction closed when foreign exchange rates were lower than today.
 The call money rate hovered around per cent and the prolonged period of 1 per cent call money was regarded as evidently ended. Time money rates were marked higher. Other depart

COTTON ADVANCES
 IN STEADY MARKET
Business Is Restricted Owing
 To Fears of a Storm
RALLY IN MIDDLE SESSION
Opening is Lower, Followed by Decline On Bearsh Estimate of European Demand, But Weather News
 Induces Upward Turn.

New York, September 14-Business in the cotton market was restricted by con tinued storm uncertainties today, and af- ter moderate decline during the early trading, prices firmed up, with the close very steady at a net advance of to 8 points. Sales wee estimated at 100000 bales. The market opened steady at a decline of 1 to 4 points, and soon sold off to a net loss of to points, with October relatively weak under scatter ing liquidation, promoted by indifferent cables. @ bearish estimate of weekly European requirements and the fact that the West Indian storm had not reached the cotton belt over Sunday. But adylces from Washington indicating that this storm was still working toward the Flor ida coast checked the decline and caused some rally during the middle session, with the upward tendency becoming more pronounced towards the close on a firm turn in the New Orleans market, which was supposed by some to reflect in- creased apprehension that the storm would eventually work into the belt.
 The close was at practically the best point of the day. Southern spot mar kets reported early were 1sc lower to 1sc higher.
 Receipts at the ports today, 5,669 bales against 19,427 last week and 23, 306 last year. For the week, 15O,O00 against 12S,- s2s last week. and 150,S62 last year

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, September 14-(Special )-The market was apathetic during the fore noon. Opening with a slight decline and a bearish sentiment the development of a moderate short covering found few sell CTS, and a small advance was made on the buying. No special feature is to be noted. October was in good demand on small trading. In brief the market was well held, and after the first decline the better feeling and demand advanced prices. Re- ports of boil weevil in Louisiana came by mail and the usual deterioration may be expected, but speculation, other than local, is dormant, and that waits on more defined improvement in general trade
