Chicago, Sept. 22.--Cables on wheat
only VI to " higher against our adj
vance OF 1M to TX yesterday.
It Is evident the foreigner is not
as alarmed about securing mis- wheat
as the American Spectator.
The situation in the northwest com
tinues very bearish.
Southwestern markets are very firm
for cash but we believe as the farmer
finishes seeding through the winter
wheat belt supplies win increase rap
idly.
We do not believe in wheat at these
prices.
Cash and September corn was heavy
yesterday. we believe corn and oats
are high.
We can not advise buying.
Receipts OF hogs very light, stocks
small and while prices are high we
still favor short side Of provisions UNI
I'll better stocks are secured.

stock Market.

New York. Sept e.. The market
was more irregular today with an cas-
Ter tone prevailing after the farst
hour. A noticeable feature Of the re-
action was the marked falling In the
volume Of business. This would I'm
dictate a withdrawal OF activity by the
aggressive element for the purpose Of
testing the market. The bear leader
finding prices yielding more rapidly,
sold stocks with more confidence and
the lower levels uncovered moderate
liquidation. We do not believe there
10 much significance to the selling as
trading was too listless on the de-
cline % indicate anything more than
g natural reaction. The underlying
tone Of the market il strong and we
advise the purchase OF stocks on FUR
