VIOLENT BREAK
 IN WHEAT PRICES Sharp Advance Is Made Follow
 ed By Heavy Reaction SELLING IS VERY HEAVY Liberal Sales in Corn kiarket Cause
Liberal Sales in Corn eiarket Cause Weakness and Close Is at Loss-oats Close Weak
 and Provisions Firm.

Chicago, September 22-Wheat prices on the board of trade broke violently today on heavy liquidation following fresh ad- vance at the start, at which time the September delivery advanced to $1.07 and the December to $1.001s. The market closed weak at almost the bottom with prices 1sc to AQssc below yesterday s final figures. Corn and oats also closed weak but provisions were firm.
 The September delivery of wheat again displayed considerable congestion dur suit the price of that option was forced nearly Pc above the closing quotations of the previous session Deferred months followed the lead of the current month, and advanced nearly 1c above the point at which they closed the preceding day. During the last of the day, however, ex- treme weakness developed and prices de- clined from 1hc to 2Ac from the high points.
 Shorts were again active bidders for the September delivery, and with dim of- fers the price was readily forced upward. Decreased receipts in the northwest and the strength of the cash grain at all the leading grain centers in this country were chiefly responsible for the urgent demand. The sharp advance stimulated more ae- tive selling toward midday and prices began to decline. The September delivery broke from N.07 to S1.04az, and the De- cember option from s1.00ssd1. .00s4 to 991aq 99ssc Final quotations on the former were $1.05, and at 99asc for the latter. Liberal sales of the September delivery by cash interests caused weakness in the corn market. The deferred months dis played fair steadiness early in the day owing to a forecast of frost for portions of the corn belt tonight. The market closed weak at almost the bottom at net losses of ss@1ac to 1Ac
 Oats were firm early in the session on buying by cash houses, but weakened in the final half of the day owing to the slump in wheat and corn. Prices at the close were off 1s@3sc.
 Provisions were firm all day because of moderate demand based on light receipts of hogs at all western packig centers. Prices at the close were unchanged at 7h @10c higher.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, September 22.-(Special.) The reaction which the trade antici-
 pated proved to be only a small one | if the action of the market in closing Fat the best prices of the day at to s points over last night, is to be ac- cepted as an indication of the course
 of prices. Buying of the October posi-
 ton in order to secure possession of
 the desira ble cotton in our local stock was the feature of the day, forming one of the factors which stopped the
 liquidation early in the afternoon.
 Photographic communication Is still interrupted with the Mississippi val ley, so that the trade is without infor- nation as to the effect of the storm. Tonight the market, while quieter, has a better tone than yesterday though
 the local short interest has been elimi- mated. Arbtrage selling from Liver pool supplied the early demand for the distant deliveries. It Is evident some position must advance to bring a new stock from the south, either October or December.

SLIGHT ADVANCE
 IN COTTON MARKET Business Is Active and Offer ings Are Well Absorbed OUTSIDE BUYING RENEWED Reports from Storm Area Are Con- flictng But Crop is Damaged to
 Certain Extent and This
 Adds to Bullish Feeling.
OUTSIDE BUYING RENEWED

New York, September 22.-The cotton market was very nervous and irregular today, refiecting disposition on the part of old longs to take profits pending more detailed reports from the storm area, and Indications as to the further attitude of spot buyers, Business was very active, and offerings so well absorbed on a scale down that the final tendency of the mar ket was upward, and the close was very steady at a net advance of to b points. The opening was steady at decline of point to an advance of points, and dur ing the early trading prices sold to g points net higher, somewhat disappoint ing cables being offset by reports of an advance in prints at Fall River, continued storm damage reports, bullsh rumors concerning the attitude of big Chicago in- terests, and a renewal of outside buying for long account.
 There was a great deal of cotton for sale as the market approached the 13c level, however, and as local professionals believed the speculative demand, stimu- lated by storm news. had largely run it's course, part of the pressure represented selling for reaction. After easing off to a net decline of some to 56 points, the market firmed again to about the best prices of the day on bullish spot news and persistent buying by one of the lead ing New Orleans traders of October, whose purchases of that position for the day are estimated at fully 15,000 bales. October was relatively firm in conse- quence of this demand, and the small local stock showed the maximum gain at the close
 Reports reaching the trade from the storm area are somewhat conflicting, but generally indicate great damage to prop erty, and while the storm has now passed out of the belt, It's effect is expected to show in the October condition figures which will be published at noon on De- tober 2.
 Southern spot markets officially report ed were 1sc lower to 1sc higher. with private wires reporting a good spot de- mand in the southwest.
 Receipts at the ports today. 35,000 bales, against 29,712 last week and fl ,653 last year. For the week, 100000 bales, against 241 ,526 last week and 179 last year.

[OCK MARKET |S GENERALLY WEAK |eel Stocks Go To New Record In Spite Of Weakness TILE SUPPORT GIVEN To Much Speculation in Reading is the Main Cause of Uncertainty
 and the Downward Trend
 of Prices.

New York, September 22.-Various req | at was shown by the stock market to- y. The real reason was the suspicion . at the capitalists who have played the |ading part in the prolonged advance prices and their party followers were Hing or had sold great part of their ldings. The support accorded the mar
 t was not of that determined and effec- Ie character that has been manifest at l " period of pressure for a long time

Efforts at sustaining .5ere made plainly enough. but inelleetiveness suggested the recent egsstocks from strong to weaker A s. The belief that this process has er ping on is fostered by the number stories recently influential in stimu- Itiug Speculative buying which have zef confirmation.
