DOWNWARD TREND
 0F WHEAT MARKET
Continued Good Weather Influences Wheat Pit and
 Causes Decline

I Chicago. September 3.-General selling
 lowered wheat today. the market showing
 net loss of 1so to 2a21sc, with septem-
 Der at ssc, December at s2ssc, and May al 961sc. Corn followed the course of wheat, closing at a net loss of s.e to 2ls@24c l Oats finished ,s@ssc lower. and provisions | irregular 7i1c up to 25c down.
 The bear spirit was manifest at the opening of the wheat market Local | traders and commission houses entered the selling ranks aggressively. Favorable weather in the northwest was an early bear influence and the market was at first nervous and active. An early small | rally took lpace on the buying of Septem- Der by some of the leading houses but little the upturn did not last long, The lowering tendency in the wheat pit was augmented not only by the fact that threatened rains in the northwest failed to develop. but by the fact that the out look seemed to be for continuance of good weather.
 Reports said that threshing of winter wheat was going on rapidly. but that returns from Missouri were disappont- ing. Large yields. it was said, are being returned In the northwest and in Cana da- Unfavorable weather reports from Argentine and India were ignored In the general bearish sentiment that pervaded the market.
 Corn dropped to new low figures for the crop after September alone had made a slight advance on early scattered buying. Reports that the west was selling corn to be brought here caused September sell ing pressure and the market broke moro than a cent. Part of the loss was recov- cred. New crop deliveries were under stress almost throughout the session on favorable weather news and good crop re- ports. Eastern demand was rather slow Selling of oats was not pushed There were large bids from seaboard for cash oats, but they were slightly under work ing basis. Domestic demand was only fair after an early rather strong opening and the market eased off.
 Weakness In pork was due to general liquidation by longs and this carried down values rather sharply. Lard and ribs were influenced somewhat by weakness of pork but held up fairly we'll under the circumstances.

 Wholesalers expect farmers to come into the city this morning from surrounding towns and many shipments from other counties in the state are expected to- day. The principal products are butter sorghum and late fruits There have been few shipments this week. but the week end usually sees good-sized consignments

WEATHER REPORTS
 ADVANCE COTTON Bullish Sentiment Encour- aged by Improved Pros
 poets for Peace

New York, September S.-Realzing fol over the-three-day adjournment caused more or less irregularity in the cotton market today. but the prospect for an other gulf storm checked anything like aggressive selling, and the market ruled generally steady with December con tracts selling as high as 1O 25c, or 1G points over last nights final figures. Re actions occurred in the late trading, with the close steady. net points lower to points higher.
 Relatively easy Liverpool cables were attributed to the advance in sterling ex- change which was considered bullish factor on the export situation. and after opening points lower to point higher. the local market quickly firmed up on re- newed Wall street and commission house buying. Apprehensions that the low ha- rometer reported off the southern Florida coast would develop into storm before the reopening of the market on Tuesday morning. checked offerings for reaction. and bullish sentiment was also encour- aged by the talk of improved prospects for peace negotiations in Europe and predictions that the arrival here of for eign fnanciers next week would be fol- lowed by permanent improvement in the sterling exchange situation. Consid- erable realizing was encountered as prices worked higher. but was readily ab- sorbed by covering or fresh buying with october contracts selling up to 9Oc and January to lo.&c during the middle of the afternoon on reports that the tropical storm would probably hit the gulf coast between New Orleans and Cedar Keys. Realizing then became rather more ac- tive. while demand tapered off and la st prices showed reactions of some 10 to Il points from the best with October closing around 9.S0c and January 1o. .2sc.
