SLUMP IN
 WHEAT MARKET
Bearish Report on New Crop is
 Cause of the Weakness
LATE SELLING IS HEAVY
BulIish Report on Corn Crop Affects Market Decisivey and Corn Prices Go Higher-oats and
 Provisions Close Strong.

Chicago September 1.-Bearlsh statistics on the winter wheat crop of the United States given out by local crop expert inspired free selling of wheat late In the session today and caused a severe slump In the prices, the market closing at al- most the bottom with prices 3sassc below yesterdays final quotations The same authority made public bullish report on the new corn crop. and as a result the market was strong almost all day, and closed at net gains of 9s@%c to 1Bc. Oats and provisions also closed strong.
 After Ignoring a report of the Hun garian minister of agriculture. which esti- mated the wheat crop of the world to be 262, $40, GOO larger than that of the pre- vious year, wheat traders finally were aroused by the report of local crop ex- pert, which placed the winter wheat crop of the United States In the neighborhood of 425, ,ooo.ooO bushels. and sold freely late in the session. As a result of this selling prices broke from 1Ao to 11so in the final hour.
 The market was bulishly affected dur ing the greater part of the day by sharp bulge in corn prices, which prompted lib- eral covering by shorts. Cash demand here was poor, and weather conditions in the northwest were favorable for harvest ing and threshing. The Oklahoma crop report given out late yesterday which showed a further deterioration In the con dtion of the corn crop during August and q report of a local crop expert. which claimed a falling off of 233, ,0000O0 bushels in the total yield of corn for the United States compared with the latest govern ment statistics were the basis of a heavy buying movement in the corn market, which caused sharp advances in all dellv- cries. One leading short was credited with purchases aggregating more than F. GOO. GOO bushels. The May delivery dis played the greatest strength, and at one time was 15sc above the lowest point of the day. There was some realizing at the top, and prices at the close were about 1sc below the best marks.
 Oats scored substantial advance owing to buying inspired by a report of a local crop expert, which estimated this years crop of oats in the United States to be nearly 100000 bushels less than fore casted by government officials. An ad- vance of 1e in the price of cash oats, due to light receipts, also had strength ening influence The market closed strong, with prices up 1k@ssc to &a7sc.

MARKET
 IS IRREGULAR But Tone of Days Trading Is
 Very Quiet CABLES ARE DISAPPOINTING Private Reports Are Bullish, Making Condition of Crop e6 per Cent. Deterioration Is per Cent
 For the Month.
CABLES ARE DISAPPOINTING

New York, September 1.-Today's cot ton market was quiet and more or less irregular with early gains. followed by reahzlhg Tar over the government re- ports. The cbse was steady, net 8 points higher to 4 points lowerl gener- ally to points lower on active months The market opened steady at a decline Of J points to an advance of points, some positions being influenced by dis appointing cables, while others felt the effect of a bullish private report, mak- ing the condition of the crop 66 per cent and showing deterioration of about per cent for the month.
 At first this report confirming expecta- tions of a bullsh bureau at noon to- morrow created some scattering demand on which prices sold up to a net ad- vance of to 2 points shortly after the opening but offerings increased on the bulge and the market later, while very quiet, reflected the tendency to take profits on long lines far over the govern ment report and approaching holidays Selling may have been encouraged to some extent by rumors that considerable staple cotton was to be brought here from Texas for delivery on October con tracts and talk of offerings from the south to Liverpool but generally speak, ing, 1t looked like realizing rather than bear pressure and was chiefly for Wall street account
 Al the low point active months showed net loss of 5 to points, closing at fl slight rally as 8 result of covering.
 The New York cotton exchange makes the commercial crop of l90s-0e, 1S.sl7. 516 bales, the largest on record. Today's market began the season of 1909-10
 Southern spot markets as officially re- ported early were unchanged to Ho lower. Weather reports attracted little attention.
 Receipts at the ports today, 14.2G bales, against 364s last week and 10.07 last year. For the week, 60,o00 bales, against S4, 709 last weak and 79,982 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans, two bales, against 2SS last year. and at Houston, AIS bales, against e,222 last year.

STOCK MARKET IS
 VERY STAGNANT Speculative Activity Reacts From Previous Period BULLS STILL IN CONTROL While Prices Slowly Sag There Is Enough Strength in the Market
 To Keep the Bears From
 Hammering Prices.

New York, September IA decline in prices is the natural course in market so dull as that of today, for stocks, even where there is not an urgent pressure of stocks for sale, the apathy of the de- mand affords no sustaining force to prices and they sag of their own weight. The most stagnant condition of the trading today threw some mystery over the tur- bulent markets of the last two weeks and has made 1t difficult to explain the sudden withdrawal of operators whose congested dealings in few stoehs were responsible almost altogether TOT the million-share daily totals such succeeoed each other day after day. Conditions bearing on values have undergone no change to correspond with the sudden cessation of the speculative activity.
 The feyerishness of the interest mani fested in the health of E. H. Hartman has abated end this seems the only ex- planation to offer of the change in the complexion of the market The With drawal of orders on large scale recently prevailing suggested more than anything else that the capitalists responsible for them had concluded to let the market rest for time. The punishment admin istered to the bears on Monday served to admonish them that the bull party was able still to exercise a control of the market This is taken to account for the comparative timidity of the bear party since that time.
 The renewed bulletin from Boston through the medium of the advertising columns and the telegraph had its effect in the latter part of the day and impart- ed some new courage to the bear party but they re-bought hastily. The lethargc demand manifest throughout the day was calculated to invite attack from the bear party in the speculation. The less favor able crop aspect was dwelt upon to some extent to warrant the contention for lower prices. Further detailed accounts of the condition of cotton emphasized the expectation of a showing of serious deterioration in that crop in the govern anent estimate to be published tomorrow.
 The cotton stocks, both amongst the railroads and the industrials, wero amongst the few to show some strength today. But the large part played by cot ton exports m our 1orelsn trhue iidhee the prospect of that crop of peculiar in- terest. at this time, owing to the im- portance of the exchange situation on the future of the money market. Last year decline in exports of merchandise and the very heavy imports threw the exchange situation out of normal. In order to tide over the situation American borrowings in Europe have been very large, estimated by some authorities as high as s5O0000,ooO now outstanding as indebtedness against this country.
 Reliance has been placed on a subsi- dence of the excessive import movement and upon the placing of some forthcoming issues of railroad stocks abroad, as well

New Orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, September 1.-Spot cot ton quiet Quotations were revised and the market quoted in an entirely new way. New grades were added and tinges and stains quoted. Middling unchanged at 12 7-16c; grades below unchanged: good middling, 1-16c off trades above. sc up. Sales 275 bales on the spot; to arrive, none.
 Futures opened steady, unchanged to 1 point down. Liverpool was not up to expectations and after the call the market sold off to a slightly lower level. Private reports forecasting a bureau condition report faround GA caused the market to steady up and ad- vance until the active deliveries were 8 to points above yesterdays clos ing. These were the highest prices of the day and they tempted selling from the bears, who were aggressive during the remainder of the session. Their selling was aimed at the uncertainty of the trade over the pending report and they succeeded in dislodging some long cotton. At the lowest of the day prices were steady at a decline of to 10 points. The close was steady al a net decline of to s points.

New York, September 1.-(speclal .)-lt- tie attention was paid to crop advices by the market today as the trade was indis- posed to take any decided stand before the bureau report tomorrow. So the mar ket had a holiday appearance. ana as the belief exists that the planters Will sell freely at present prices there was a gen eral disposition to anticipate lower range of nrices no matter what the gov ernment may report the condition to be. If Is this view that the situation differs materially from what 1t was before the August report. No one questions the con- tinuance of the deterioration in the crop, but they look for a pressure from the movement which may bring about a mod crate decline. However opinions are Of late value before the bureau day.

News of the crop of corn proved unsatisfactory also today and prompted some notable revisions of estimates on the forthcoming crop in the trade. London sent reports of weak market for copper at that center. The un-' changed dividend on American Smelting seemed to cause some disappointment to spectators.
