WHEAT IRREGULAR;
VISIBLE SUPPLY UP
Threshing Operations Active in
Spring Belt Large Receipts
Expected
CHtrAQO, Sept. 11 Wheat w8 Irreg
ular today. At tho outset September wis
oft M, while December and May were up
U and t cents receptively. The move
ment! of prices were mixed after the
stnrt, but n firmer feeling developed gen
erally on- covering, nnd the market ad
vanced nbove liiat night's close, Septem
ber showing the most strength on exten
sive covering, due to a ruling that wheat
being brought here from the Northwest
cannot be delivered without clearing.
H was thought In some quarters that
there Is still n short Interest In that
month. The list, however, again worked
off, but on the whole there appeared to
be a good absorbing demand and there
was some suspicion that quiet buying
waa taking place.
The visible supply In the United States
and Canada Is 13,739,000 bushels, an In
crease of 6,000,000 bushels for the week,
and cdmpnres with 70,i..,O00 bushels last
year; In Europe It Is 85,935,000 bushels, a
gain of 4,950,000 for tho week and com
pares with 1,617,000 bushels last year.
Threshing operations In the spring
wheat belt are active and large receipts
are expected. There were reports of a
good demand for the cash article and
also of purchasing of futures for foreign
account. Grading of winter continues
poor.
Generally nn heavy foreign business
was looked for because of Canada's big
surplus, which Is getting tho preference
In Great Urltntn because It Is cheaper
than American grades.
The receipts at Minneapolis and Duluth
today were 1011 cars, against 1025 cars last
year; at Winnipeg, 99S cars, against 1273
cars; at Chicago, 407 cars, against 808
cars.
Good support was furnished to the mar
ket at Liverpool. Spot there was irregu
lar. Vt pence lower to 1 pence higher, but
cargoes were strong, with Indians at 7H,
winters 6 penco and Mnnltobas ib pence,
while Platoi were unaltered. A general
Improvement in tht demand for new spot
was noted.
Advices from Argentina report the
weather there as still unfavorable, and
"Tnoisture is badly needed. Tho outlook
in Australia continues brilliant, and the
dry districts of India have had a good
wetting. Greece will be forced to Im
port on a heavy scale because of poor
yields, and so will France. Spain wilt
be a limited importer.
Corn was a little easier notwithstanding
light frost over a large part of the belt.
Tho receipts here today were 431 cars.
The mnrket at Liverpool also was softer
because of a decline in Argentine freight
rates and free Plate offers.
Oats were quiet. The receipts here to
day were 343 cars.
Leading futurea ranged aa follows:

LONDON STOCK MARKET
Traders Awaited Presentation
of
Chancellor's Budget
LONDON, Sept. 21. An Irregular tone
nrevailed on the stock markets today.
with trading sluggish. Caution was exer
cised, pending the presentation of tha
budget statement by cnanceiior ot the
Exchequer McKenna. Investment busi
ness was at the minimum. Price changes
In the war loans were narrow and mixed.
The Bank of England announced an
offering of 3,500,000 Indian Government
bills. Home railway shares were flat,
owing to the uncertainty as to the out
come of the conference on wages between
the companies and representatives of the
men.
Alterations In the American group were
fractional and confused. There was sell
ing of Canadian Pacific which displayed
weakness. Grand Trunks and Argentine
rails were dull. Russians were heavy.
Mlnlne Issues showed firmness in spots,
and rubber eharea Improved.
Colorado Fuel's Year
The annual report of the Colorado Fuel
and Iron Company shows total earnings
of tl6,758,M0, against 817,803,026 In 1914
Total Income was 12,261.101, compared with
$1,651,247 last year. Tne deticit was re
duced from $905,698, In 1914, to 8334.662.
The report says: "Tho reduction In
sales waa due to a curtailment in the con
sumption of coal In all of that territory
supplied from Colorado, and to lighter
nurchases of stock by railroads. There
is little promise of Improvement In buying
by railroads during the current fiscal
year, and we do not anticipate a volume
of rail business that will keep tho rail
mill operating to more than 50 per cent,
of its capacity."
