UNDERNQPRESSURE
Selling Movement in Stocks at
New York Ceases.
WORK FOR HIGHER PRICES
.Advance Meets With Xo Serious Ob
staple Money Market Quieter.
Corn, Grangers Lead the
. - 3Iovcment Upward.
NEW YORK. Sept. 14. Stocks were free
from any pressure to sell today, and the
money market snowed no evidence of urgent
demand to borrow. These were the condition
whleh prompted the room traders aad some
large profeteloaal operators to work for a
higher level of prices. That transactions were
mainly In the hands ot the profesjtoaal class
of operators was generally agreed and the
oommltaloa-houses put out a dally complaint
that business Is poor and the general public
not In it.
The fact that the advance in prices met no
serious obstacle makes the appropriate de
scription of the market that of strength. The
term Is correct for the general underlying con
dition and the upward tendency of prices itself
whenever the condition of the money market
is tranquil. That was the cae today, call
loans being made at S per cent or below while
the rates for time loons were about steady.
The tendency of events towards contracting
reserves was Ignored In the presence of this
tranquility of " the money rate. The great
strength of the buslaeco situation is the easy
explanation of the underlying strength ot
ptocks. It is a very general conviction la Wall
street that if easy money were assured, prices
of stocks would advance without difficulty.
The enormous grain crops promited oae of
the prime arguments for this view, aad It
was natural therefore that the day's move
ment should turn to the quarater of the mar
ket, where the grain movement would be felt
first.
Owing to the conspicuous promise of the
corn crop aad doubtless also to the fact that
the stocks of com. caro'lag railroads have not
been Active In the speculation, the corn grang
ers led th movement. The buing converged
on Missouri Pacific. All of the Grangers aad
the Southwestern group generally, as well as
the Padncs and transcontlnentals shared ia
the movement, however. The operation of
speculative pools was discernible la somo
stocks of the group as well as In other quar
ters of the market. The abwrptlon of Erie
was or an enormous scale, and eaueed that
property to be associated la the current rumor
with the open admlseion that negotlatlona
were in progress for dlsposlag of the Cin
cinnati, Hamlltoa & Dayton property.
The reduction of the Bank of England rate.
Instead of the expected advance, was accepted
as a reassuring factor and revived expectations
of a further import movement of gold. Some
of the banks were said to be calling loans
today, and th oaoa movement evidently makes
It Imperative that banks should effect the
snowing of a further large loan contract km
for the coming weekly statement. Bat the
quiet tone of the market for money Implies a
fuppiy of fund from other sources, supposed
ly the trust companies, and this was the basis
of the day's confidence in protection from dis
turbances of credit .facilities for operations
ia stocks. Discounts rooe la London and Br
lln and the foreign exchange market here
snowed no farther important reoeoetoas.
Stocks developed renewed strength late in the
day and doted Arm at about the best prices.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value. $2,405,000. United States bond wore
alt unchanged on call.

Peach Season Closing.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 14. (Special.) At a
special meeting tomorrow the members of the
grain trade of the Merchants' Exchange will
adopt the following standard of weights: No.
1 Chevalier barley. 52 pounds to the bushel:
choice milling wheat. 00 pounds; No. 1 mill
ing wheat, CO pounds, and No. 1 white-wheat.
6S pounds.
After a dull opening the local speculative
market for grain developed considerable
strength and closed buoyant at $1.33 for
December wheat and $1.02 for December
barley. Caota prices are firmer In sympathy
with futures. The advance In the latter Is
due to scanty offerings and the better tone
of distant markets. Deeplte additional char
ters of grata tonnage in the North, the local
spot market for freights Is dull and nominally
unchanged. Foodstuffs are firm and choice,
hay strong and lower grades cany. New pink
and large white beans are offered to arrive
at $2.80.
The California peach season Is drawing to
a close. Those now arriving are mostly Sal
ways of poor quality, causing a weak mar
ket. Good apples are in steady demand at
Pall prices, say $1.10 to $1.15 for best Bell
flowers and $1.25 Jo $1.35 for extra Oraven
stelns. Fancy plums are higher. Table
grapes, excepting eoedless, are abundant and
weak. Fine Bartlett pears are scarce. Limes
are firm and lemons easy.
The wharf market for potatoes Is generally
easy. There Is a moderate movement In ship
ping stock for Manila. Onion are steady,
pending development of the demand for the

Show Decrease of Nearly Two
Hundred Million Bushels
From Iiast Year.
CHICAGO, Sept. 14. The wheat market to
day was firm from start to finish. Wet weather
In the greater portion of the Spring wheat
country was the source of strength. Many of
yesterday's short sellers were eager bidders to
day, their evident conclusion being that the
unfavorable weather would check, temporarily
the movement of wheat from the farms. An
other reason for the Improved demand was
found la the publication of revised statistics
regarding the wheat crop ot Russia. Today" n
figures made 441. CO) buoheio as the total yield
as against a. previous estimate ot 534,000.000
bushels. On the basts ot the revised figures,
this year's crop wilt be 187.400,000 bushels less
than that of last year. Initial quotations were
practically the lowest of the day. December
opened c to 9e higher, at 83c to S3?
88 He For a time prices held comparatively
steady, but toward the middle of the ses
sion a moderate advance was reported. Many
reports were received from outside grain cen
ters, telling of urgent demand for cosh wheat.
For December the highest price of the day
waa reached at 884pS3c. The market later
eased off a trifle on profit-1 akin?, but the close
was firm with December at S8c.

highest point of the day. December opened
unchanged at a shade higher, at 43c. sold

What may result in a general slashing of
the price of flour on the part of the man

when the makers of three brands reduced
the price 20 cents on the barrel. Pyramid.
High Flight "and White Rose have been
cut, the two former now selling at $i.5
instead of $4.75. ami the latter bringing
$4.35 in place of $4.55.
"All the manufacturers that have cut
prices belong to the Washington Associa
tion, ami it is not 'known at present
whether they intend to force the other
makers to sell at the same price or not,"
said one Jobber today: "but I expect the:
others to come around inside of a day or
two, ami it would not surprise me vary
much to see the price go still lower before
the rival concerns come to terms."
