New York, September 19-tSpecial.)
Gables were rather indifferent this morn
ing, so that. our market opened at a de-
cline of some 10 points but almost i'm
mediately met an active trade demand
which led to a slow improvement through
the day, the market closing around the
best and some or points higher than
last night.
In the first hour there was considerable
realizing still in progress and free selling
from Liverpool on arbitrase transactions
as a result of the relatively narrow diff
ference between the markets.
Our advices from the south are TO the
effect that there has been in tho past
few DAYS an active demand from the con-
tinent, and certainly there was not today
any marked pressure of hedging sales.
The market has no large speculative o
interest outstanding, the strength of the
position apparently lying in the trade de-
mand which appears on the declines owing
to the forward business in goods and
yarns transacted during the summer with
ont the covering of cotton.
The local feeling is still rather against

NERVOUSNESS IS
SHOWN BY TRADERS
Reports Free Listing of
Wheat Could Be Accom-
plished Responsible

Chicago, September notwithstanding
assertions that the present Canadian ad-
rninistration cannot afford to reverse its
anti-reciprocity policy, the wheat market
to day showed heaviness on account of
the apparently certain removal of WASH
ington obstacles to Canadian shipments of
wheat to the United States, closing prices
though steady ranged from last night IS
level to ssc below. Other leading staples
all scored net gains-corn, h@9sc to 1sc;
oats, l4@ssc to 1ae; provisions. 5a22lkc
Wheat traders evineed unmistaka BILE
nervousness regarding Washington reports
that the free listing of wheat could now
be considered virtually accomplished. Ac-
cordingly the market seemed inclined 10
drag lower and only the operation of
resting orders to buy at decline prevented
a decided setback. Canadian assurances
that government action at ottawa ap-
peared to be wholly improbable did not
greatly auay misgiyings. Prospects that
the winter crop acreage will be fully up to
normal was a further handicap to bulls
There was also gossip that flour mills
We're unable to sell further ahead than 60
or 90 days.
Corn turned strong on a decrease in ar
rivals here. AT first however, the market
was easy because of improved weather
that seemed likely to promote freer move
ment from the farms. Oats followed corn.
Shorts did most of the buying.
Provisions bulged sharply when corn
switched to the upgrade. Early weakness
in packing house products was due largely
to demand for hogs being too ilesitatng.
