WHEAT CLOSES Off
IN SPITE OF RALLY
New Low Price Record of
Season Due to Selling
Pressure

Chicago, October 1.--Selling pressure
due largely to a flood of receipts in all
directions, carried wheat today to new
low price record for the season.
Despite lively rally. closing figures
were sc under last nights level Corn
finished ssd7sc down and oats off 1sc to
1kQssc, but provisions were at from 2lac
to 225ac advance.
Wheat prices broke 1c to liso a busne
before the force of the drive at prices
could be checked. Cable advices were
that both Canada and Russia had low
cred offers in order to bring about sales
Then came the news that northwestern
receipts continued heavy and this was
followed by. word that the southwestern
movement had increased, so that the
primary arrivals as whole surpassed
even the hugh total reached a year ago
On the rebound, wheat as a rule passed
into stronger hands, the smaller shorts
meanwhile grabbing profits Absence of
export demand served to halt the upturn
Feeling at the close was steady.
Corn suffered violent decline on ac-
count of belated liquidation by bulls and
because of selling pressure by specula-
tors who were taking advantage of the
situation. Fine weather, which it was
predicted would last several days, in
creased the depression, and there were
reports of unlimited offers of cheap Ar
gentine corn at New York. The decline
however, resulted in shutting down rural
offerings and consequent stampede of
shorts.
Oats were mainly governed by other
grain, though having a special cause for
weakness in rival shipments from Cam
ada to Buffalo, Boston and New York
Provisions bulged after being easy in
the first part of the session. The runs
of hogs at western markets was lib
eral but corn traders and packers took
the buying side and kept the pit bare
of offers.
Futures quotations were as follows.

COPPERS MAKE BEST
SHOWING OF GROUP
Reading, Union and Cana
dian Pacific Each Rise
a Point

New York, October 1.-Under the lead
of the coppers which made the best show
Ing of any group in the market. stocks
moved upward today. Union Pacific
Reading and Canadian Pacific rose point
each, but the advance in general was
small and its chief Significance lay in the
fact that the decline of the previous two
days was effectually checked.
The demand for stocks was better, ow-
Ing perhaps to the belief that the short
interest has been over-extended by re-
cent selling and that the market was in
strong technical position. Business was
still concentrated. largely in the specu-
lative favorites.
The market opened with a general ad-
vance, largely in response to the rise of
American stocks in London. Bear traders
renewed their attack again centering
their efforts on Steel, which was de-
pressed under yesterdays low price. The
other active shares also were hammered
but the resultant decline failed to bring
out stocks. Instead, a better demand ap-
peared at the lower levels The market
moved irregularly for time, but grad
ually developed strength. The undertone
was strong during the remainder of the
day.
The exceptional rise in Coppers was as
sociated with the advance of the metal in
London and the strong showing made in
the European fortnightly report of cop
per stocks.
The position of London in this market
was an important factor. A better feel
Ing abroad was reported and stocks were
bought ON a liberal scale for foreign ac-
oount.
Unfavorable August returns for a num-
Der of the large eastern lines failed to de-
press the railroad stocks New York Gen.

There were rumors of impending labor
