 A heavy tone characterized the wheat market all day, the exception of a few minutes at the opening. but losses were not material. At the onset. shorts held the price up in sympathy with an advance at Liverpool, which market re- fused to be impressed by large worlds shipments for the excellent reason that the shipments were not headed her way The buying power here exhaust ed Itself early and the heavy offer ings from the Northwest made them selves felt The selling of December and buying of May by certain elevator interests furnished the only feature of the day. Cash wheat was firm.
 The trend of corn was still down ward Receipts were liberal and the Eastern distributed demand unimpres- sive although there was some little ex- port business done in the old corn. Weather was reported perfect for the curing of the new crop, which Is estI mated by a local expert at 2,70O.OOO, 900 bushels. The country was reported a free seller of old corn Cash corn in the sample market declined half cent
 Oats developed an unmistakably weak tone, as was very promptly dis covered by holders of local stock when they attempted to unload. shipping

THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Oct 4-The stock mar ket developed uneven strength after a weak start today. but the activity dWindled In the course of the day un- der the influence of the call money rate. Call money touched Ia per cent. Fridays high rate. early in the afternoon. gradual recession from Requirements of the first of October is looked for ordinarily. The weekly bank statement. published after the close of business on Saturday offers the occasion for the conservative att titude of lenders. The surplus reserve point and the forces of depletion of cash are still at work.
 The government report on condition of cotton offered small prospect for an increase of exchange from exports of that commodity. the condition show ing low record per centage for this season of the year.
 The principal stock market influence which contended with the restraints of the money position was the determined advance in U. s. Steel. After open ing down a point under the influence of selling from London. that stock started upwards again and narrowed Ns distance from par to only a shade more than five points.
 A good impression was produced by the ready sale of a $25,00o, 900 issue of New York Telephone bonds offered in this country and abroad Some or the bonds of industrial companies rose in sympathy, but the general bond market was irregular.
 Total sales, par value, $5,37b.ooO.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

New York, Oct. 4-The Government reports were followed by activity and excitement in the cotton market today, put fluctuations were irregular and net cnanges small; the market closing steady one point lower to one point higher as compared with the last prices oI saturday. The census report was issued at the opening and showed a ittie less cotton ginned to September 2S than the trade had anticipated. Prices started steady at an ad.ance of aour 70 eleven points in consequence, and after some little irregularity work ca still higher on covering by shorts and bull support in spite of the dis appointing cables and good weather oyer sunday. After advancing to 1850 for January and 1860 for March. or within couple of points of the sea- sons high records, however the mar ket reacted under heavy realizing fol- lowing the publication of the govern ments condition figures. The condi- ton of 5S.5 per cent. fully equalled ouilish expectations but failed to stim- ulate 8 broadening speculative demand ana as soon as local bears found that there was barely enough buying to ab- sor6 realizing they became aggressive, evidently in the hope of catching stop loss orders There was good buying oh 2 seaIe down but the market closed within four or five points of the low est. Very bullish crop estimates are being based upon the condition figures. which are the lowest with but one ex. Seption on record and 1t is supposed here that the figures will strengthen expectations that the crop will not exceed 11,500,000 bales. Today's was the last Government condition report of the season, the Department of AgricuI- ture issuing an estimate of the yield Tn December. Based on the reports of premature opening, the local trade nave been talking a census report of perhaps 3.00o,000 bales but the actual ngures, 2,562,8SS bales had little or no influence on crop views.
