THE STOCK MARKET

Dealings elsewhere were dull and the price movement narrow. The Hartman stocks failed to exert any pronounced sympathetic effect in the groups in which similarity of condi- lions would place them. in the trans- continental group there was an early advance in the Hill stocks. but even fered by MT. Hartman in the inter- views reported with him that mutual " helpful intentions now ruled between the two controlling railroad powers indifferent, the activity in Reading being at some - expense to its price. Pennsylvania and New York Central scarcely moved. Illinois Central was strong without the usual response in other southern trunk line stocks. Atlantic Coast Line was. In fact. sharp ly depressed. Louisville and Nashville moved narrowly and there were only a few isolated transactions in Norfolk and Western and Southern Railway. The immediate new development af- fecting the Hartman roads was the eonfident and cheerful tone voiced by the head of the system in public out givings on his way home from his vacation. The decline in the surplus reserves of the banks shown by the saturday bank statement was not con- sidered important in view of the large proportion of reserves still held. New York exchange at Chicago today was reported at forty cents premium per 1000 which Is sufficient to influence shipments of currency to this center. The hardening of foreign money mar kets, while it pulled up the rate of foreign exchange in this market. was without apparent influence on our money market. London buying of stocks was said to play a part in the strength of some of the low priced railroad stocks. The strength in the exchange market, however, is attribut- ed by exchange experts to remittances for American securities sold by money rates abroad. The government report on conditions of the grain crops was not liked. The condition figure Tor corn was not accepted as threaten Ing any disastrous outcome of that crop. but revision of earlier and more hopeful views was impressed as a necessity.

Chicago Grnin nnd Produce.

Chicago Sept, 8-The government crop report caused strong upturn in wheat prices on the local exchange to- the session reduced the gains to only slight lead at the close compared with final quotations of the previous ses- sion. Corn. oats and provisions closed strong.
 The condition of spring wheat at the time of harvesting, according to gov ernment statistics was 77.6 per cent per cent a month ago and the total yield was estimated at 336, 900, ,000. The report was generally considered of bullish character inasmuch as the total yield was estimated at only about nine million bushels in excess of last years crop and while last year the stocks of old spring wheat in terminal elevators and at interior points were large, the reserve in store at the present time is small Prices responded readily to the buying which followed the publication of the report and advanced to point to 1 3-4 above the low marks of the day. The market had previously dis played considerable strength owing to a moderate demand by commission houses despite a decline of more than one pence at Liverpool and also despite liberal receipts in the northwest The movement in the northwest. however, was not so heavy as had been expected, total arrivals today at Minneapolis and Duluth being 1856 cars. while about D. 800 cars had been predicted. Export business today, according to reports was practically nil, but ferty-five boat loads were reported as having a.t been be- ai lost nearly all its strength late in the day because of free selling for profits and closed barely steady with prices unchanged to Is cent higher compared with tSe final quotations of Saturday
 Continued drouth in the corn belt was the chief reason for a strong mar ket for that cereal, the government .a~An n.a K4s.rr nHf government figures which showed the condition of the crop to be 79.4 as against S2.5 a month ago were about what had been generally expected. Numerous reports were received today telling of corn drying up and there were also advised which claimed that the crop in Northern Indiana had been damaged by frost. Corn at the sample liberal receipts. there being brisk de- mand by elevators and cash interests The market closed strong with prices 1-2 to 3-4 cent above the previous close Local receipts were 42O cars, with 150 of contract grade.
 Trade In oats was light and the mar ket was firm chiefly on account of the strength of wheat apd corn. Cash prices were steady to S-4 cent higher. The government report caused con- siderable covering by shorts and helped to hold the market firm. The close was firm with prices 1-S to IA cent to 3-S cent higher than Saturdays close.
 The provisions market was dull but firm. The market was bullishly af- fected by the strength of corn and by small receipts of live hogs at West ern packing centres. The total ar rivals of .hogs today were estimated at about 10000 head in excess of those of the corresponding day g. year ago. Buying of October lard by the packers and shorts was the feature of trade. The market closed firm with prices 1-2 cents to 10 to 12 1-2 cents higher than the previous close.
