GFLOUR SALES
 AT MINNEAPOLIS Prospects of Record Break ing Imports Give Grain
 Market Impetus

Chicago, September 11.-Bald signs that European countries were preparing for recording breaking imports helped turn the wheat market today from depression to strength.
 The close was unsettled, ranging from a shade down to shade over last night s quotations. Corn was left ssGpi4c net low CT. Oats were 1sc off to like amount up and provisions unchanged to an ad- vance of 20 cents. Top figures for wheat today were 2c higher than Mondays low point. Weakness early was due to fine weather northwest. Big flour sales at Minneapolis checked the decline later and made the market responsive to news of huge import requirements across the Att lantic and of damage by heavy rain in France and Germany, Reports of a squeeze in the September option at Kan sas City tended also to aid the bulls.
 On the ensuing advance shorts in wheat covered freely, but commission houses were persistent sellers. causing the mar ket to react, but not altogether to lose buoyancy. December ranged from 9o?a 9l&c, closing a shade net higher at 9O7sa 9lc. Unexpected advancement shown by samples of new corn from Illinois led to s withdrawal of the industries from the marekt for old corn and left prices weak. December swung between 52Ae and 5Sh, with the close 52i4c, or loss of 1hqlAc net Cash grades were depressed in It's theatre. No. 2 yellow was quoted 753s d76c.
 Some slight improvement in the export trade held oats steady despite the weak ness of corn. Outside limits reached fo1 December were g. e and 32ssc. with last sales lsc down at 321saS2hc. In the ab- sence of any selling pressure packers had trokers in the provision pit bidding products higher, especially nearby op- tions. September pork scored net ad- vance of 25c. The lift in prices elsewhere did not exceed ten parts of one dollar.

LEADING ISSUES
 SUFFER DECLINES Specialities Show Strength in Early Session-Call
 Money 5lz Per Cent

New York, September 11.-Dollars ana its higher interest had a depressing in fuence on the stock market today. Call money opened A. per cent, the highese initial price of the present movement and at noon as much as 5ls per cent was paid. Later the rate relaxed slightly but nor until number of leading issues had suffered declines of l and points.
 Institutions here lost more cash to the sub-treasury and interior.
 Indications pointed strongly to deheit of the excess cash reserves which were at such low ebb last Saturday HeaVi- ness in foreign exchange gave rise to ru- mors of impending gold imports which lacked confirmation in responsible quar- ters. It is not improbable that the Bank of England may meet with some com petition for a large amount of the gold soon to be delivered in London from Australia. Time money rates were un- changed here despite more active de- mand. Some significance attached to the fact that a great deal of the collateral offered for loans was made up of so- called special stocks.
 The market made it's lowest price level in the last hour. It was accompanied by greater resilienoy than at any previous period of the session, Reading and Ca nadian Pacific being more prominent. The latter two were the weakest of the rail- road group, however, with a great deal of pressure against United States Steel. Amalgamated Copper, American Smelting and Southern Pacific. The latter is dis turbed over the Mexican situation. The industrials. especially Tobacco, were down 2 to 1 points.
 Specialtes in the early session show ing strength yielded toward the close when money again loaned at 553 per cent London's operations here were unimport- ant, consisting in part of small sales on balance. The general sentiment in Lon don was marked by the higher carry over charges, Americans being quoted at 41s per cent.
 There was more activity and a further shading of prices in the bond market Total sales, par value, $1,9oo,000. United States government bonds were unchanged on call.
