Minnesota, the Dakotas and Montana, The conditions were generally favorable In California, but drouth was injurious in Ore gon, and no rain fell In Washington.

Union Pacific's Successful Resist- ance to " the Decline Money Continues to Harden. NEW YORK. Sept. 20, An export estimate ofx only 1,900,000 bushels of corn, which was given to the public, caused a momentary Jump In the corn market, which was more than lent before the day was over, white the decline In stocks was partly relieved. But that estimate was reinforced today by the expressed icredence of President Hill, of the Great Northern Rail way, and was thus given renewed Influence on stocks. The coneequenco was a decline In prices, which affected not only the corn-carriers, but the stock-carriers, the grangers, Pa dflcos, coalers, trunk lines and. In fact, every department of tho railroad list. The estimates of the crop, based on conditions past, were given added force by the weather reports show ing lower temperatures In the Northwest. The weekly crop bulletin of the weather bureau was somewhat ambiguous and obscure la Jts ex pression, but offered little to cheer the more apprehensive over either the com cr the cot ton crop. Some of the recent strength of the steel stocks has been based on the advantages ex pected to follow the cut In billets. Amal gamated Copper offered some temporary re sistance to the decline, due to an advance' in bids on copper, but ultimately yielded to a more effective resistance offered by Union Pa cific, which was 1 over last nighty This argued that Union Pacific's corn territory Is safe from frost damage, and this statement may also have been Intended as a reassurance to some current rumors regarding the health of the head of the system. It could not be learned that there was any actual calling of leans on the Stock Exchango, but the tone of the money market plainly con tinues to harden, and tho prospect of re trenched credits was undoubtedly a factor In the liquidation of stockholdings. Declines were fairly uniform at botween 1 and 2 points, but wide declines in a few high-grade Invest ment stocks were a feature. Such closely held stocks are easy to bid up for effect In a bull market, and the abandonment of protec tion for the high level Is likely to be signifi cant of the speculative mood of those who ad vanced tho prlco previously for effect. Mis souri Pacific's poor showing of net earnings for July cost It an extreme decline of 2i. Unloa Paclfla was turned against the bears when they began to cover to take profits in the final dealings, and some brisk rallies re sulted, but the close was feverish and unsat tled. Bonds were weak. Total sales, par value, $3,805,000. United States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing sales, iiign. Low. bid.

COLD WAVE IN NORTHWEST GIVES WHEAT PRICES STRONG START AT CHICAGO. - Firm Tone of Foreign Markets and Bulge in Corn Also' Have Influence on Values. CHICAGO, Sept. 20. Active covering by Shorts as the result of a cold wave In the Northwest caused a net advance of lo in the price of both wheat and corn here today. Oats are. up c. Provisions show a gain of 2252c. Reports of general frosts last night through out the Dakotas and Western Minnesota, gave a strong start to the wheatmarket, there be ing a lively demand alike from shorts and commission-houses. The December option opened with a gain of llc to llc May was up 1 to la at $1.105?1.11. Fac tors that contributed considerable strength were the comparltlvely small receipts In the Northwest and tho exceedingly low grading of the fresh arrivals. The market was affected also by a bulge in corn prices and by the firm tone of foreign grain markets. On the resulting advance there was considerable cell ing by pit-traders, causing a loss of much of the Initial gain, December declining to $1.03. Meantime, May sold off to $1.10. The re action, however, .was only temporary. With bullish reports coming from the Northwest and the market at Minneapolis showing a big advance, prices here started up with a gain. A decrease in total primary receipts and a smaller Increase than expected In the world's visible supply were factors that stimulated buy ing late in the session. Tho high point of the day was reached at $1.09 for Decem ber. May sold up to $1.111.12. The market closed strong with Docember at $1.07 and May. $1.111.11. Predictions that the cold wave in the North west would swoop down upon the cornfields of Iowa and Nebraska tonight gave shorts a fright at the opening of the corn market. Traders had not yet entirely recovered from the bullish statements of the two well-known crop experts made yesterday, and this fresh source of anxiety caused a wild scramble for offerings. December closed with a gain of lo at 5151c A dispatch from New Tork crediting James J. Hill with a state ment that tho total yield of corn will not ex ceed 2.000,000,000 bushels gave the market ad ditional support during the latter part of the day; Oats held firm. December closed c higher at 32c. Provisions were strong and active. Continued light hog receipts and stronger grain mar kets were the principal Influences. At the close, January pork was up 62c, lard was up 2c and ribs 2225c higher. The leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open.
