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. ,i Lamson Brothers & Co. Checks—3% to 6c. Bleaching—Fruit of th« loom. 6% to 7%. 't FRUITS AND NUTS. NAVAL STORES.
