Foreign Exchange,
CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET

Chicago, Sept 15.-Wheat underwent new declines in price today chiefly as a result of Argentine rains and fresh breaks in foreign exchange. The market closed unsettled 1 3-4 to 2 5-4 cents net lower with December 1.2S 1-2 to 1.2S S-4 to Man 1.55 to '1.5S 1-4. Corn lost 5-S to 54 to 1 cent and oats 1-2 a 5-s to T-S. Provisions finished unchanged to Is cents lower.
 With rains in Argentina where most needed, the wheat market took the downgrade from the start and lacked throughout the session af1d definite stir- ulus from export business. The anoarent 9lowness of foreign demand was asso- ciated with the disturbed condition of European exchange, although the fact was pointed out that sterling is 20 cents higher than year ago, and that francs are only slightly lower whereas cash wheat here Is more than s1 a husb- el down. On the other hand Germa1 marks are severely depressed. Ru.Ie failed to make headway with reports or freezing temperatures in Canada and with adv1ceS that unseasona bIe wet weather Tn the Dakbtas was snoi1ine wheat in the shock.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET WAS PROFESSIONAL


 New York. Sept 15.-Professional in- tsrests dominated today's less active and more restricted stock market. Ef- forts Of bull pools in several of the prominent industrial and special issues proved abortive leaders showing loss- es of 1 10 2 1-2 points at the heavy close.
 Baldwin Locomotive again featured the dealings at an extreme rise of 1 1-2 points but closed at a loss of slightly more than a point Among affiliated is- sues. also o.ls. steels motors and rails, heaviness prevailed. Sales amounted to GOO .00e shares
 Apart from the operations of pools, stocks were influenced to great a de- gree by the money market. An opening rate of five per cent. for call loans gave way 10 4 1-2 per cent. at noon but be- lated borrowers forced the quota ton back 10 five per cent. in the final hour.
 There was no other explanation for the unexpected stiffening of the money market. local banks evidently having taken all necessary measures yesterday 10 meet today's very large income tax payments.
 Dividend omissions by sugar com panies and one of the minor steel pro- ducers indicated further readjustment of me lnduslrlal sltuauon. IhlS was pal snced in part however by the high prices posted by independent steel man. ufacturetse
 International rer1ittances again took their cue from London. That market sent over lower quotations for all lead Ing exchanges, including marks, which duplicated the early weeks low record Later rates were frmer, sterling mak. ing full recovery. Another decline ir the Argentine rate was attributed to re. ports of suspension of negotiations fol a loan to=that government.
 Extensive dealings in liberty issues with marked strength in the 1-2s, was the feature of the bond market Other domestic bonds and most of the inter. nationals, including United Kingdom o- 1887, were lower. Sales (par value) were S14s000 900.
