combined today to force bearlshness
upon a market that already seemed
scared of Its own. shadow. There was
the drop of Ho In the price" of copper

shows a net loss of 8H points In Drice.
Tha weakness In Smelters upset the rest
of the list. Some attributed the cause
of the severe decline to the Michigan

Chicago, Sept 17. The wheat market
started very weak and unsteady with
prices badly hit In all' options. To
blame for this there was the heavy
Bluing uy armour oroiters ana tne do
cline in foreitm Drlces after a stiff h.
vance yesterday. Perhaps the advance
nere yesterday was too steep, ror over
night sentiment became very bearish
and the market opened H to c un
der yesterday's finals.
Liverpool opened H to Hd above yes
terday, but closed at a loss of H to
Hd. Antwerp closed Ho higher, but
Paris was 6 down up 6 higher.
Reports received by brokers Indicate
that seedlns- of winter wheat la much
delayed owing to the drought and this
may cut down the acreage somewhat.
Argentina snipments are estimated
as: Wheat, 1,200,000 bushels: corn. 2.-
