BIG PRIMARY MART.
LIFTS WHEAT PRICES
Increase in Visible Supply
a Decided Factor in
Strengthening Prices

Chicago. September R.-DecreasinS
stocks in Liverpool and at the big pri-
mary markets on this side OF the At
lantic tended today to lift the price Of
wheat. The market closed strong IA to
l5s net higher. with December at 1887
to 14sa4 and May at 1884,. Corn fi.,shed
Il to ic up and oats with a gain of a
shade TO i to sc. In provisions the out
come varied from 55c decline to rise
OF 12lsc.
strength displayed itself most plainly
in wheat at the opening and the close
During part of the interval between
these two points an increase in the
United States visible supply total led to
rather freely selling and to a conse-
duent bearsh reaction but analysis
shoed that the enlargement Of the sup
ply was chiefly at the seaboard and at
Buffalo. This fact caused sellers to
change front and was decided factor in
bringing about the final bulge. An
nouncement that 100000 bushels had been
disposed of for expert helped also to en-
courage holders late in the session.
Reports that much wheat on track at
Kansas City and Omaha had not met
with ready sale brought out assertions
that this was the sole reason for the
disposition on the part of the owner to
wait for better prices
Frost damage reports from Illinois and
from western Indiana and northern Iowa
had a bullish effect on corn. Ten to Is
per cent of the late corn in the district
mentioned was said to have been injured.
Oats gained in value with other cereals.
Trading, though, was light
Most of the provision transactions were
in lard. Packers were said to have
taken the September and October options
against export sales

Hubbard Bros. e. Co.'S Letter

New York. September ia better de-
msnd from Manchester advanced Liver
pool early today, beginning ar5itrage
buying orders from abroad. which abb
sorbed the hedge selling from the south
at an advance Of 10 to 10 points. Private
crop reports published early indicated an
other falling off IN condition.
The market remained quiet until after
noon when large buying orders appeared
from brokers supposed to act for large
Wall street traders. which advanced the
market, closing firm at the best prices.
Local sentiment is bulish on the idea
that Liverpool and Manchester will now
buy freely and absorb the offerings.
From the plantations many hedges were
sold by southern buyers. but there are
no short sellers in anticipation of any
decline.

Sugar Market

New York, September 1s.-The local
market for raw sugar was firm and prices
were &c highed to the basis of 4lzc for
Cubas, cost and freight, equal to 5.52c
for centrifugal and 462c for molasses-
Trading, however, was small, sales
amounting to only 5000 bags of Cubas from
store at 5,52c for centrifugal, although
it was said that refiners would pay only
47sc for Cubas cost and freight, for
prompt shipment, while holders asked
41sc.
In refined there were moderate with
drawals on old contract, but new business
was light, buyers evidently not being
inclined to anticipate In view Of the re-
cent irregular movement of raw sugar.
Prices remained unchanged at 640c for
fine granulated
Futures followed the same course as
raws on covering by Wall street and com
mission houses and some inquiry from
trade sources closing l to 20 points net
higher, the maximum gain being In Sep
TENDER, while other positions advanced
only l to 10 points. September sold from
4.3Sc to 4.52c, closing 4.50c; October 1850

Grating with the New York Milk com
mission. He says:
"!All milk should be graded and

fined as subjecting milk to not less
than 145 degrees Fahrenheit for not
less than thirty minutes. This pro-
cess should be carried on under the
supervision of local and state health
officials. Pasteurized milk should be
divided into three grades:
"First, that which contains not
more than 100000 bacteria to the Gu
bic centimeter before pasteurization
and not more than 10000 bacteria to
the cubic centimeter when delivered

to do this.
"Most state health departments, -
he continues, "issue pamphlets or

Some of these are excellent and: the
value of this literature is probably
considerable, though the experience
in eastern cities has been that it is
markedly inferior to personal 'instruc-

'In most states this literature is
simply distributed as are other circu-

given to mothers clubs. In North
Carolina and Indiana an excellent
baby booklet is sent with a congratu-
latory letter of the governor to every

bly, DIR. Murphy concludes, "but a
greater aid in removing the difficulty
would be local effort.''
