'• '£>RY GOODS MARKET.
Now York, Sept. 11.—Aa Is usual on
Tuesday, and with no mulls from the
important dry goods mrkets of the
^CQuntry, the demand of the commission
merchants was less active, and was
.restricted to the request from buyers
present, and a good number of them
were for shipments of moderate quan
tities. Through the forwardings on nd-
.vance orders a very largo amount of
fcQSlnesB wns concluded. The demand
for Jobbing wras continued on a large
scale. Printing cloths were firm at 3
cents for 04s, with sales of 10,600
pieces. * <
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.
Chicago, Sept 11.—Wheat occupied the
.undignified position of taller to com to
day from start to finish. The market fot
the greater part of the session was dull
and uninteresting, the fluctuations after
the’ opening being within a moderate
rfcnsfr. The government report had been
practically, discounted and orders from
outside points were conspicuous by their
absence. Fluctuations were largely a re
flection of the changes In the coarser
groins. The news was not encouraging;
qables were generally quoted lower, re
ceipts In the northwest were fairly llbcr-
nland export clearances were small. The
irfarket started ratherfirm In anticipation
of a strong opening In corn, but Immedi
ately reacted when that cereal weakened.
Subsequently it recovered, when corn ad
vanced. remaining dull and fairly steady.
After a season of dullness the market
rallied on goodI buying by commission
houses, and covering by shorts on the
strength in com, and closed firm. Brad-
streets report of the visible supply of
wheat from both coasts, shows an ln-
<reaoo of 3,900,000 bushels. December wheat
opened at 57^ to 67%; sold at 67% to 66%;
closing J Ao%c; higher than yesterday.
Gash wheat was steady. Prices were
unchanged.
Corn was an exceedingly nervous mar
ket after the opening today, It requiring
but very llttlo buying or selling to advance
or depress prices. This brought large
offerings to the front and with an Insuf
ficient demand to absorb them, there be
ing practically no outside orders, the
market broke sharply, declining l%c. from
the opening. It subsequently rallied on
buying by ohorts and! partly on confirma
tion from Washington that the percent
age of the condition of com, as given In
the government report, was based on
the present reduced acreage rather than
on the orlglnul acreage planted. These
final figures were so near the expected
figures that the market was left rather
in a dull state. Towards the close, on
light offerings and free local buying, thd
market visibly strengthened'. May opened
GG’i to 65%; sold between 6G% to 64%; clos
ing at 5CA%-% to %c. higher than yester
day. Caeh com was in good demand and
a moderate quantity on sale. The feel
ing was easier and the prices were about
%c. lower.
Oats—Trading in oats was of an Inter
esting character, the market acting in
sympathy with corn and responding to
the changes in that market. May closed
%c. higher Ilian yesterday. Caah oats
were in good demand with light offerings.
Prices were steady and unchanged.
Provisions opened strong in sympathy
with com and high receipts of hogs, but
almost immediately weakened on heavy
soiling by the Anglo-American Packing
Conjpany, who have been leading the longs
for some time. The decline brought n
few stop orders and this feature added
to the general weakness. Towards the
close, In sympathy with the strength in
the mAh markets, the feeling was firmer
and prices rallied again, and \hc close
was rather firm. January pork closed 5
cents higher than yestetday; January lard
2% cents lo-wer; January ribs 5 cents
Mger. Domestic markets wero easy with
prices favoring buyers.
The leading futures ranged as follows:
FUTURE QUOTATIONS.
WHEAT- Open High Low
nnd indications pointed to greater activ
ity and higher prices. It Is evident hat
there Is .strong competition to secure all
the primary receipts of spring wheat in
the notthwost nt the low prices now pre
vailing. Bradstre?:s incrcA'K* of 3,816,OM
bushels !n the available supply and the
Cincinnati Price Current estimate of n
6(k»,oud.to) crop, was soon iorgotten, the
market closing up strong at within 1-16
of high point
Corn—After the first flurry at the epen
h.g ‘wheat was at oji advance of
%c. over tho close of yesterday. Com
took a slump of about lc. per bushel,
owing to the rush to sell by holders ant"
the eagerness of one or two largo shorts
to get out a line. Around 65c. all offer
ings were absorbed, and on the strength
caused by the report from Washington
that the government report was bused
on a 6,190,000 a crease, the market gradu
ally firmed up nnd closed strong with
nearly nil of the decline recovered. The
ambiguous nature of the government re
port completely upset the calculations of
the trad and it looks as though they would
have to work to other sources for Informa
tion on which to base their future calcula
tions of supply, and the prices that are
likely t6 prevail. Among the bull Items
was a statement by on of our largest
speculators, “with the early prospects we
expected a corn crop of. 2,200,000 bushels
now what have we, according to the gov
ernment figure* LIOO.OOO.OOO of corn and
403,000,000 busbelu of wheat and 615,000.000
bushels of oats. Wheat and oats aggre r
gated would not make up the deficiency
In corn."
Oats opened firm at about yesterday 1
close, with the exception of the May op
tion. Offerings are luther light, and the
market held firm right *up to the middle
of the session. The government report
making' the crop CIB.OO&OOO bushels seems
aJbout the only one within'reason, and with
any increased consumption on the defi
ciency of . corn, we do not se6 how much
lower prices could be reasonably expected.
Hog product opened up strong and
higher with fair demand for outside ac
count. The hogs at the yards were un
der the estimate and higher in prices.
As wvikn-ss in the- grain markets bartmu
apporant thla commodity eased off.
