CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago, Sept. 3.-Reports reached the trade here
today that Pacific Coast points have been exporting
wheat on enormous scale in the last few days,
ard this news a big factor in rallying the
ket The Seattle correspondent Of a big local house
wired that he had 1t good authority that 5000 900
bushels Of wheat had been sold for export from
Portland IN the last week and as much more from
TacomA and Seattle
This report followed upon earlier claims Of liberal
-four and wheat loadngs at the Pacific Coast for
Great Britain, and 1t is evident that foreigners
buying in that territory unusually large sale.
Little export business in wheat from the Atlantic
coast, but exporters at Winnipeg were doing a large
business which gave the local trade the IMPRESSION
that the foreign demand will be diverted here
II Is an uninteresting trade. with the usual ureS
incident TO war times. Quotations Liverpool

Saturdays close.
Trading in corn futures was dull but the late
strength in wheat carried prices up substantially
from the bottom, and resting spots about
steady with previous closing figures. The early sell
ing had apparently been overcome. Shorts taking
too much stock in the wheat market had the effect
Of very poor shipping trade, and the fact that the
New England reselers were under selling anything
that could be quoted from here. The country con
tinued to offer com sparingly. Cash com trade was
light. with prices halc lower, and local sales were
only S. 900 bushels
Oats also rallied in the final hour and closed
shade better than Tuesday. The market under
much hedging pressure in the fore part Of the
sion, and there also quite persistent local short
selling Export business curtailed by financial
stTingency at the port which has been the most active
buyer recently, and only 5000 bushels were reported
sold from here. In addition about 100 900 bushels
cash oats vert sold for shipment.

NEW YORK COTTON MARKET.

New York. Sept 3-The Liverpool Cotton Er-
change reduced the liquidation price in that mar

place the New York price at SC per pound. or

Thus is the last NOTCH so TO speak, 70 be reached
under the agreement following the international
conference held in New York last month and at
posed to be msrgned- There appears to be no
longer any reason why the process should not
reach a more rapid conclusion.
It may be also said that the baIloting has been
slow and the result unimporant that fur
ther trading might just as well be conducted
which has been invoked since the exchange closed
and which has resulted in cleaning up Of the
books to extent Of 100 900 bales, according
to some calculations
liquidation Of what may now be called distressed
contracts" will Be Simpihed and perhaps the ex-
change Managers viii also find reopening plans also
easier to conclude and announce. This includes
new trading rules.
Liverpool reported 100 bales drawn for Houida-
ton, against which equivalent amount was sold
in New York to various firms Less than 5000
bales. however. have been closed under the ballot
and tie market has declined $50 per bale since
its initiation and $s.75 bale since the exchange
closed,
All reports from the South indicate steady or
strong markets with increasing demand from
the trade. Exports and American mill takinTS are
steadily absorbing an increased percentage Of the
receipts while the 'buy-a-bale" movement is aiding
powerfully.
The conference committee OF the New York
exchange posted q notice today establishing the
price Of December At cents effective tomorrow

New York banks are expected to sub

one-fourth is to be paid to the clearing
house committee on demand, and the
interior banks will supply the rest. Dis
trict banks probably will contribute.
Business is hampered by lack OF ere
dit in London and this will tend to de-
crease imports and custom-house re-
ceipts. Important matters Of public
policy are therefore involved in this
foreign exchange question and It will
become acute when October disburse-
ments of interest and dividends have to
be made in London and on the Con-
tinent next week. At this tuncture the
Federal reserve banks would be of great
service, but they will not open their
doors until the end Of October at the
earliest.
