Local scalpers thought they could see a profit during the first half hour In making purchases, but they were undeceived before tlae day was over. Sev eral prominent traders were among the buyers at the start. New York furnishing the wheat through commission houses. Business dragged until noon, about which hour It was evident that the support was weak-kneed,• a well-known local profes sional tuklng advantage of the f:u:t and inaugurating a break, being afterwards Joined in his efforts to depress price* by disappointed holders and room trAlex's generally. Short wheat was cowre m heavy quantities without the least sue- talning prices. The only damage by frost to the Argentine Republic wheat crop, but this was afterwards denied. December wheat opened at >i and »ld between Mft and 53ft; closing at the latter—ftc. under yesterday. Cash wheat was ftalo. l-uiv Corn followed in rtie course marked out by wheat. A weak fc-tart wa3 succeeded by a measure of steadiness, country orders to buy b-uur n-.vnv*-! in ^utfieb-nt \olicu-.* to sustain prices on a fairly firm basis. The selling about noon was too much for the market to stand, however, and values succumbed. The news was all in favor of the bears. May corn opened from 51 to 51ft; sold betw«H-n rilftar.o 1 *; closing at the bottom—lc. under yesterdiy. Cash corn was weak and ftale. lower. The oats market evim 1 a finm r tones than that of the other grains durinr, the first portion of the st .sion, but yb-lded la ter In sympathy with* the other grains. The shipping demand was thq one thing ■that sufficed to maintain the strength early, but “vtui that was insuftieiont to pressrvS the tone near the dose. May closed ftc. under yesterday at 33ft. Sales of cash oats were made at prices ranging ft.BiC. lower than yesterday. Provisions—The'hog market coming with a decline of about 5 cents per hundred pounds, opened products relatively tower.

The weather nt the South was generally clear, but cold. In spite of the statements that the trop ical hurricane Is moving up the Atlantic coast the** ;market here closed weak. The decline In Liverpool today was attributed by a private letter sent from New Orleans by a firm to Its correspondents there, expressing the opinion that the crop Is something Ijke 10,300,000, though making no formal estimate. Popt receipts, C0.E40 vs. 26,652 this day lost year. The total rhus far this week is 137,017 and the large esti mates for the week, which were current a fw days, are not likely to be realized.

Sept, ff —Buyers of wheat was considerably worse off at the cics* cf tolly's market than at the same time yes. terday. and the final figures on Decem ber were at the extreme inside point of the session, marking a new low record lqu showing a Uaa on every bushel cf eloner Morse reports that statisticians at Paris estimate the wolrxl'e wheat crops at 35 por cent in exoes3 of consumption and seedJ requirements. The market at tempted to rally on reported damage to the Argentine wheat crop by frost :.nd hot winds, but aa it did not cay whether it came simultaneously it was futile, * re gardless by heavy realizing by shorts. Towards the close it became extremely weak, quickly declining % frmo high point. December ranged from 54ft to 53ft. Com was a shade under yesteiddy’s dose, the corn market opened fairly steady with commission houses best buy ers of'May. Trade was not large, but the market active. As the resslon ad vanced, however, liquidation sot in, declin- cliiving prices a full cent. The market was dull at tho close with prices at the lowest point of tho day. Oats were quiet and lower, receipts bare ly up to expectations, but offering^ were quite liberal, especially from the outside. Tho local crowd was somewhat bearish and the close was weak about the low point, . t ' The provision market on Tiog product opered a' little easier with selling by com mission houses. There was a great de mand, however, from, shorts und offerings were quickly absorbed, the market dis playing a better tone, but again became heavy towards the close, which was dull at 10 to 15 cents loss.
