Hay and Feed.tufrs

Receipts of hay $50 TONS all
The lower grades are dun and hard to sell with
stocks beayv' Choice grades rule firre
The circular of Scott. Magner & Miller says:
Our market this week has been badly inter
fered with. Monday having been legal holiday
and Thursday another holiday. Prices have
not been well maintained. excepting in choice
lots Choice wheat. wheat and cat and red Oat
have commanded full figures. hut all other va
rieties have been weak. 1t has been with great
difficulty that much of the hay has been
moved from the cars and boats at anything
near satisfactory figures. Everybody appears to
be decidedly of the opinion that prices should
be even lower than at present prevail
Present conditions show plainly that choice
varieties rapidly being cleared from the
fields and that this class will command COM
paratvely better figure than medium and poorer
varieties until the fields are cleared. There are
extensive holdings of the poorer varieties in many
parts of the country tributary TO our markets,
which are endeavoring to fpd sale here during
this month. and which, being we'll understood.
is standing menace TO the stability of the
present market. There has been no export de-
mand recently. few small lots have moved
off for coastwise shipment. but not enough TO
he noticed in the general result.
Alfalfa hay continues to arrive freely. and
the feeling this article is a little weaker than
at any time this No .. or any on grade

lively low figures.
Straw has been arriving in moderate quan-
titles, but the demand has been decidedly
light the market can be quoted somewhat
weak. our markets do not require as much
straw in former years, and no large quan-
titles can be aheFe at tHtc TIME

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
Future Grain and Provisions

CHICAGO. Sept. 11.-Wheat was extremely er-
ratio and prices moved over wide range today.
Interest OF traders centered in September, which
again manifested signs OF considerable conges-
tion. Shorts in that option bid up the price
sharply at the start and again at times during
the day. but later several leading holders sold
freely and this caused severe declines in all de-
lveries
Late selling was based on the expectation of
greatly increased receipts at northwestern grain
centers and on the continued absence of export
demand. The range for September was between
$1.O2 and S1041s and for December 96M965sc
and 97Ac. The market closed weak with prices
only trife above the lowest with September at
$1.02k.
Corn was depressed by liberaL sales by leading
holders caused by reports of greatly increased
country acceptances. The market lacked any
good support. The close was weak with prices
off as@ Sc.
Realizing in the deferred months caused weak
ness in oats. Covering in September by shorts
caused fair rallies. The close was weak
with prices Il 0asc below yesterday.
Trading in provisions was dull. At the close
prices were 21a 05c lower to zoe higher.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
