Sales of Ari zona, Utah, and Nevada fin and fine me dium wool s were reported at 53 to 00 cents, and Montana V00I3 at a range of 67 to 70 cents. A feature of the trading in the past week was the Indication of speculative opera tions for the first time since July, when the Government began to show interest. The Government business continues, but other activities in the market are more noticeable, now that the heavy work in connection with the purcmsing- of wool for Army needs is ended.- The sales In the regular market for the period are esti mated to be approximately 6.000,000 pounds. trar-sactions involving most of the houses and practically all kinds of offerings avail able.

Bran Is now quoted in minimum quantities at the mills at snorts at 934 and middlings at $41. The mill feed market will be governed by aupply and demand, and lower prices will probably prevail later in the season. 1 here were no new developments in the wheat situation. "Wheat is com lng forward more -- freely, practical ly all of it on consignment Local re ceipts yesterday were 44.200 bushels, for the week to date, 191,000 bushels, and for the season to date, 010,000 bushels.

Only a very little business ts being done in mohair at Boston, and that little is con fined to selected lota of good Combing Texas, which is bringing in the Immediate vicinity of CO cents. Otherwise the market In very dull. Of the foreign situation the Commercial Sulletln says: "The situation in Yorkshire Is reported to show little or no change from the dull drifting market which has been prevalent tti ere ior some time past. bp tuners are for the most part giving the greater part of their time to the demands of the gov ernment for khaki yarns and comparatively little attention to mohair yarns. Conse quently prices are barely firm, but un changed. "The situation at the Cape Is understood to be In about statu quo of the past few weeks. Some business appears to be done xiow and again, mainly on American ac count, at unchanged prices. "Alpaca is moving steadily - and In the past two or three weeks has possibly shown some improvement so far as the volume of business is concerned, particularly with, ref erence to Inferiors." 0 CALCCTTAS FOR RIVER PLATE British Government Prohibits Partner Ship- meats of Hessians. The British government has prohibited the shipment of Hessians from Calcutta to the River Plate. Burlap bags have always been a keen necessity to South America tor the packing and shipment of the many raw ma terials exported. It Is apparent, therefore, that South American buyers will be turned to Dundee or this country for their bur laps. Calcutta prices have been advancing again, according to cables, and prices on goods fr later shipment are high- On 10 -ounce 40s for October-November shipment, II is Quoted In one Quarter and ltf-tiOc iu other.

EARLY MARKET DEPRESSED IligTi Jlonejr Rates Continue Leading l-'actor in Speculation in Wall Street Iiiberty Bonds Sell at Xew MigU Kccord. NEW YORK, Sept. 27. The same consid erations which recently tended to reatrict stock market operations for the long account were again In force today. Money was the controlling factor around which most other conditions revolved, call loans holding at yesterday's hish rate of 6 per cent until tho final hour, when a fractional drop was re ported. There was also a further paucity of time funds. In the financial district there Is a fast growing Impression that conservative bank ing Interests have registered their earnest opposition to extravagant speculation, pend ing the outcome of the next liberty loan. The money market la expected to reflect this attitude. Trading was dull except at Irregular !n tervals when the professional element sought to effect further Impairment of quoted val ues. In this tbey were more or less sue cessful until the final hour, when short cov ering, notably in steels and affiliated in dustrials, resulted in an Irregular rally and nrm clooe. United States Steel fluctuated between 111'.), and 111, its final quotations of JlC-i showing a net gain of the smallest fraction. Bethlehem and Crucible Steels, together with other equipments, finished mostly at lrreg ular advaucea. ; Rails were adversely influenced by the weakness of St. Paul common and preferred, the Cornier breaking 2 to 57, within a frac tion of its minimum, and the preferred fall ing 14 to 00, its low record for many years. The common stock later made I alight recovery. Shippings were again Inclined to move up ward, but were held in check by the heavy trend in other quarters. Some of the pooled specialties registered nominal gains. Total sales amounted to 435.00O shares. -Liberty 3s featured the irregular bond market, transactions in that issue from par to the new high record of 100.14 Tar ex ceedlng all other dealings.

ALL OPTIONS ARE LOWER Frost Damage Reports Lose Their Effect In Chicago Pit Revived Export Demand Stiffens Oats. Provisions Also Advance. CHICAGO. Sept. 27. Optimism as to the crop outlook, despite em porary adverse weather conditiona, led to declines today in the corn market and pricea clowed weak, to c net lower, at $1.20L to $1.20i for December, and J1.17 to ?l.!7i for May. Oats finished afec off to lc up and provi sions varying from 5c setback to 35c ad vance. Frost, unless extreme, appeared to have lost power to terrorize the corn trade. In the last half of the day a falling off in country offerings and a lull in profit-taking by holders led to a rally, but the bulge encountered heavy fresh realizing, which carried the market rapidly down grade at the end of the session. A revival of export demand gave relative strength to oats. (General rains tended also to encourage the bulls. Except for nearby deliveries of ribs, which resulted in special selling pressure, new high record quotations were generul In the pro vision market. Continued advances in the value of hogs stimulated much of the buy ing. Leading futures ranged as follows: CORN. Open. High. Low. Close.
