GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, September 9.-For the first
time this season wheat today dropped be-
low 80 cents bushel. Unusually heavy
receipts formed. the main reason Primary
arrivals for the week were the largest on
record for the present time of the year.
1t was believed also that the government
report this afternoon would confirm re-
cent generous estimates of yield. The
opening was unchanged to h lower. De-
cember started at so to 9OA, varying from
h lower to Is UP. and then declined to

crop led to free selling of corn. December
opened ls to a down, at 541s to oT4, but
rallied to J4ss.
Bidding up of the September delivery
made other options in oats relatively
firm. although business was small. De-
cember started a shade to 1saA high
er. at I2A to 1925. and seemed disposed
to hold within those limits.
Provisions weakened because of the
slackness of demand; First sales

Causes Assigned Tor Heaviness.

Last weeks banak statement, which re-
duced the surplus reserve to a very NOM
inal figure. and the Mexican situation
were held accountable for the ccompara-
tive heaviness of tOday's market. Har-
rimans. which sold ex-dividend. and
Reading were mildly pressed for sale,
with less pressure against Hill issues.
Canadian Pacific rose on rumors that op-
position TO the stock increase had been
overcome. Coppers, Chino excepted. and
Steel were under restraint. probably in
connection with the forthcoming state
ment of operations for August. Among
specialties Sears Roebuck and Goodrich
were conspicuous for gains of and )
points. respectively.

smoothes out the ruffled cares of the
day, and inspires us with sense of
intimate and loving kinship to the
great, throbbing, inarticulate life

places by field and stream, but never
succeeded in finding the place Of its
