F|RMNESS SHOWN
 IN WHEAT MARKET
Threshing Delayed Through Wet Weather in Canada
 Main Factor

Chicago, September 1S.-Threshing de- layed through wet weather in the Cana dian northwest brought about firmness to- day in wheat. A big increase in the United States visible supply. however, acted as an important offset. Closing fig ures were 1s@l4c to 1ac higher than Sat urday Latest trading left corn A@asc to 9sc up, oats at 1sc to h@Ao advance, and hog products either unaltered or varying to 759c decline.
 In addition to heavy rains having re- tarded harvest in the district west of Winnipeg, there were reports from Mani toba that country offerings had greatly diminished and that hedging sales were light. After the visible supply figures were announced the market underwent a reaction, but the closing tone, neverthe- less, was firm.
 During the session December ranged from 95A@95s4c, with last sales 1s@Ac net higher at 951ac.
 Corn rose on account of heavy rains checking country offerings of the old crop for this months delivery. Not much attention was given to the improved out look for feed. December f1uctuated from 63M@64c to 641sc, closing steady at ssG4kc up at 64asc. Cash grade were firm. No. yellow finished at 6S9SSAc
 Assertions that even in the event of reciprocity no large quantity of oats would be shipped to the United States from Canada led to a firm feeling in that cereal. It was argued that instead, Can ada would ship barley, of which it has a surplus of more than 100000 bushels compared with last year. High and low prices reached by the December option were 4514945ssc and 447sc, with the close 1sc net higher at 451sc.
 Liquidating sales by longs tended to carry down provisions. At the end of the day though none of the declines showed in excess of 71sc.

CIRCULAR LETTERS
 SENT UNION MEN

Kansas City, September 1S.--Clrcular let ters giving the union side of the dis pute with the Hartman lines are being sent to all members of the blacksmiths' boilermakers and machinists' unions. These letters are signed by A. E. l.. Reguin, president of the organiza ton, and mailed in San Francisco. The fedora ton objects to the criticism of it's appren- tice system and expects that it became necessary to establish the present system on account of the abuses that had been practiced by the various employees.
 The unions contend that their employees should not be subjected to physical ex- ertion, but that the foremen should be left to judge the ability of his men to do their work. The unions also ask for a better hospital system and they con- tend that the railroads should pay more money and keep the institutions in better condition.
 The pension system employed by the Hartman lines is a little more than a farce. according to the federation officials.

FIVE STREAMS OF
 LAVA FROM ETNA

Catania, September 1S-Although the eruption of Mount Etna seems to be lessening in activity and the earth tremors are more infrequent the im- mense flood of lava which has spread down the mountain side continues its work of destruction. There are now five main streams stretching for miles over the country.
 Professor Ricco, director of the ob- servatory, who has spent two days on the top of Mount Etna making observa- lions, returned to the observatory. He sail the initial speed of the lava at the mouth of the crater has slightly diminished but added material Is still being poured out quantities probably as large in volume as in past times.
 Several cones have formed near the craters mouth, varying from 50 to 200 feet in height.
 who came here at the behest of the professor, continues .-s work of com forting and assisting the peasants. A great procession bearing statue of Christ marched in front of the advanc- ing lava and offered prayers for the immediate cessation of the flow.
 Hundreds went to the homo of 2 blacksmith where 1t is said a miracle occurred. The lava had passed around his house and the peasants believed this was due to picture of saint hanging on the door. The lava stream. however, returned and completely de- stroyed the home of the blacksmith.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter

New York, September 1S.-tSpecial.) Liverpool slowly declined under what was said to be offers from the south. Our market followed, remaining aprac- tically unchanged for several hours. The southern markets were lower with an accumulation of cotton at the in terior towns, which seemed to confirm the advances from Liverpool. Reports of worm damage are reported from the same section as before and some fear Is expressed that the reported storm in the gulf will enter the cotton belt. where the cotton has opened rapidly for the past week. Each time for the past month that the market has reached this level it has rallied quickly so that many of the trade are look ing for another recovery, but unless spinners buy freely we expect lower foreign markets tomorrow.

COTTON IS QUIET
 AND IRREGULAR Weather Approximations Re strict Aggressive
 Selling

New York, September 1s.-Apprehension Of unfavorable weather restricted agres- sive selling in the cotton market today, but fresh buying for long account was discouraged by continued reports of easier spot markets in the south, with the re- suit quiet and somewhat irregular, but generality lower, market which closed steady, net unchanged to points lower; September being unchanged while latter months were from to g points below the closing figures of Saturday.
 The market opened barely steady at decline of 3@7 points in response to lower Liverpool cables and over Sunday selling orders, which had evidently been attract ed by the easier tone of Saturdays mar ket. Leading bull brokers gave just about enough support to absorb these offerings and during the middle of the morning the tropical storm reported east of Jamaica might work into the cotton belt, but there was no broadening of demand on the ad- vance and the market later weakened again under southern selling and local pressure following unfavorable spot ad- vance advices from the south. This de- cline carried prices into new low grounds with October selling to 200 and Jan- uary to 11.27c or from 8 to 10 points below the closing figures of Saturday, but with the weather outlook uncertain. sel- lers were not aggressive in following prices down and subsequent fluctuations were irregular. Profit taking by scatter ing shorts caused only slight reactions, however and closed within point or two of the lowest.
 Aside from the possibility of unfavorable weather there seemed to be little in the days development that figured in bulllsh arguments, while the increasing receipts, rNports. or lower southern spot mar kets and unfavorable financial and po- ltical conditions abroad, were all used as a basis of prediction of lower prices. Rumors that leading bulls were reducing their lines during the early trading were denied, and while leading spot people were credited with selling during the morning, they were supposed to be giv- ing the market some support after niid day, A private condition report of 72.6 against 75.9 at the. end of August was without appreciable influence.
 Receipts of cotton today were 52, 325 bales, against 32,960 last week and 30.57s last year. Today's receipts at New Or leans 2913 bales, against 1769 last year. and at Houston, 34,040 bales against SOFIA last year

STOCKS SHOW
 NERVOUSNESS
President Taft's Speech Is Cause for Very Much
 Uneasiness

New York, September 1s.-Wall street suffered today from one of it's frequeh' attacks of nervousness over the uiicei tainties of politics. The source or uheasi- ness on this occasion was President lal' speech at Detroit in regard to the enforce ment of the antitrust law. This lnnu- ence was sufficient to bring about a siiarp reaction in the stock market Ife hsipoT some gains recorded on Saturoay were crossed off the list in short oroer "ie'i trading was resumed today. Later III ths session, however, the market peca'iie s+ronger Losses were gradually recov- cred and at the close some stocks ruieo slightly above Saturdays final figures. In spite of the mornings decline there was no important liquidation and With the memory of Saturdays rout still fresh' bear traders were cautious. Business ac- cordingly became dull. The declines were due to some careful short selling
 The action of the market was disap- pointing ito traders who had expected continuation of the upward movement. No active demand, however, appeared this morning and the market seemed to sag of It's own weight. Suspension of two financial institutions, one In Philadelphia and the other in Cincinnati, was not with ont its sentimental effect and furnished ammunition of which the bears quicKiy availed themselves Further reports of governmental action against corporations accompanied the decline on United States Steel and International Harvester. The latter stock sold down to 1ol%, its lowest price of the year. New Haven, on the contrary, was exceptionally strong, re- covering more than points of It's recent heavy loss In the late trading the Erie issues were the conspicuous features or the list. both the common and preferredd stocks making gains in response to heavy buying.
 London bought stocks on the early de- cline, being perhaps 25.0Oo shares. The effect of recent financial conditions abroad was reflected in the Bank of Ger many's weekly statement. This showed an increase of s42,oOo,ooo in loans and ac- counts apparently as a result of calls on the bank for assistance from institutions which were involved in entangiements which brought about a crisis in the Ger man financial world. The governments statement of foreign trade in August showed an unprecedented volume of ex- ports, the balance of trade in favor of this country surpassing all previous rec ords for that month. Agriculturals were not greatly changed in value from the same month year ago, the increase be- ing larger in other products.
 Bonds were irregular; total sales par value, s1,457,oOo. United States bonds un- changed on call

BUSINESS IS FAIR ONMORR|S AVENUE Poultry Scarce and the Hot Weather Is Damag-
 ing Eggs

A fair volume of business was trans acted by most of the Morris avenue mer chants Monday. The avenue seemed to be we'll supplied with everything except poultry, which is again becoming scarce. The demand for fowl Is much heavier than receipts, but there is scarcely any call whatever for eggs. The hot weather is vry effective in the egg market, and several of the merchants have experi- enced considerable damage.
 Trade with the packers was rather slug gish yesterday when compared with con- ditions the latter part of last week. Re- ceipts were very light, and quotations have downward tendency.
 Arrivals Monday were of little conse- quence. The only reported shipments were several crates of grapes and a few boxes of California fruit.
 The following are current quotations:
