CHICAQO. Oct. 4 , Wheat and provision *
wcro we.ik today , while corn and oats were
firm. Wheat was Influenced by the enor
mous visible Increase , heavy primary re
ceipts nnd a disappearance of the October
premium , nnd closed 3-8B > * c lower for De
cember , Corn wnH ilrm , principally'
bullish husking returns , and advanced 'Ac.
Oats were helped by corn und closed
l-MJ'/ic higher. Yellow fever reports among
other things depressed provisions , that mar
ket clo.'lng TUOlOc lower.
Wheat started weak. A report received
bcforn the opening that Minneapolis und
Uuluth receipts footed up 1,927 cars , 1,157
of which wuro credited to DtiluUi , was u
body blow to the bulls and started the
market at a decline , December opening tit
Cl&OCl 7-8c , compared with yesterday's
closing prlco of G2 l-8flC2Uc. . Sellers during
the llrst few minutes' trading wcro largely
1n the majority. Offerings \\ero not heavy ,
but the demand was fo plack that prlctn
nagged still further , December selling at
til B-SQfilfto shortly after the opening. The
fact that Liverpool showed a small
opening decline and a disposition to
KO fctlll further down the ladder , was by
no means lost sight of by the bears.
Shortly after the opening , however , north
west receipts wore corrected to 1,203 cars ,
Instead of 1,327. This total compared with
1.700 last week nnd 1,670 a year ago put a
Bomowhat different phase on the situation
nnd started covering In a moderate \\ay ,
the prlco under the Improved demand
Hlowly advancing to C2 1-Fc. This was tllo
lilgli point of the day. After 11 o'clock tlio
market began to sag again under news ns
bearish ns that received yesterday. Brud-
etreet's figures on the world's visible
whowed 2.0(15.000 ( bu. Increase In thin coun
try nnd 4.250,000 bu. Increase In and afloat
for Europe , n totnl of 7,105,000 bu. , and moro
than double the Increase last year. It WUH
far more than looked for und effectually
settled the hope of the bulls * for a turn In
the. market. A more Influential factor still
was the total disappearance during the day
of the October premium over December.
The primary receipts were again enormous )
nnd helped to undermine the slight bullish
feeling that had utruggled to nnd expres
sion during the early trading. The total
for the day was 1,968,000 bu. Atlantic port
clearances were fairly good 458,000 bu. but
not sulllclcnt to counteract the effect of the
primary receipts. During the last hour's
trading the wiling pressure let up some
what and December , which had declined
to 011-8Q61V6C , had recovered to G1&0GI 7-Sc.
Snow was reported In the Dakotas , nugur-
Ing decreased receipts from that source ,
nnd helped the market slightly. The clos
ing feeling % vns distinctly weak , however.
December closed at Gl ic.
Corn was firm In face of the heaviness
of wheat receipts. Receipts of 900 cars ,
though heavy , were under the estimate * .
Liverpool was higher. Country reportsof
husklngs were bullish In tone. Clearances
wcro liberal 611,000 bu. There was consid
erable buying for the long account nnd for
a tlmo active covering by shorts. Decem
ber ranged from 29'4c to 29'/4c , and closed
Vtc higher at 29 3-8j2D > ic.
There was a fair trade In oats. The mar
ket was helped by corn and advanced
wllghtly , holding Its strength to the close.
Cash demand was good , a bull Influence.
Shorts were good buyers of December.
Visible Increased 2CO.OOO bu. May ranged
from 22l4c to 22 5-8Q22 ic , and closed. 1-SQYtc
higher at 225-Sc.
Provisions wcro heavy. Continued prev
alence of yellow fever In the south , dis
appointment over the small decrease In
world's lard stocks , nnd liberal hog re
ceipts wcro nil bear Influences. Longs
were sellers and stop orders wcro reached.
Packers also sold. Shipping demand was
< iulto nctlve. At the close January pork
was lOo lower at JS.87',4 and January ribs
7Hc lower nt J4.57V4.
Estimated recelptn tomorrow : Wheat , 30C
cars ; corn , 730 cars ; oats , 330 cars ; hogs ,

NCW YORK , Oct. 4.-Consldcrnble Irreg
ularity marked today's operations Ih the
clock market , but the net result was 'In
favor of the bulls , final prices showing
sharp gains In ninny cases. Elements of
strength Included the St. Paul Btatement
for the fourth week of September , gold
engagements presaging further case in the
monetary situation and more general com
mission house buying ,
St. Paul waj taken in hand nt the outset
nnd lifted sharply , but Improvement in
the general list was arrested by irregularity
in the specialties. The market , generally
speaking , did not take on a decisive tone
until the late session , when heavy buying
orders wcro executed nil around , which
advanced prices materially. Evidence Hint
leading Interests were supporting their
favorites created uneasiness among the
shorts and largo lines were taken In. This
likewise Influenced outside demand , which
had been eliminated from the market dur
ing the demoralization of the specialties.
The bears attempted to make capital out
of the closing of the Tradesmen's National
bank , but It was not an effective card , as ,
nftor a period of dullness following the
announcement , prlctw worked up slowly
until the movement assumed largo proportions
tions In the. late afternoon. The futile ef
forts to bring about a substantial reaction
In the railways combined with the ready
absorption of all offerings Infused more
hopeful feeling , which became Intenfllled
ns additional encouraging tralllc state
ments came to hand. SomP lines reported
fulling oft In income , but this showing , It
wan felt , would soon bo counterbalanced by
certain unfavorable Influences.
Tobacco pursued Its upunl wild course
nnd variations occurred In other members
of the Industrial group. Brooklyn ! Transit
made a consplcious show of strength , the
stock being taken on expected bandits to
accrue from the absorption of the Isnsi-au
road and effective economies In operating
expenses. A concerted drive against Sugar
late in the day depressed the stock over
three points and halted the general mar
ket when the rise was In full swing. Real
izations occurred all around , but a better
tone prevailed at the close , the market
ClrheBbond1 market today developed con
siderable activity and heavy purchases
were made In the current active issues.
The general tone was strong and a brisk
Inquiry prevailed for some mortgages ,
which usually do not figure to any extent
In the trading , notably St. Louis and San
Francisco liens. Total sales . 0..000--
Considerable activity developed In United
made of 1-S
States as today , a gain being
per cent to lOSVi. Bid quotations of all
other Issues were unchanged.
The Evening Post's London financial ca
blegram says : The stock markets horp
continued stagnant today , but the tone was
fnlrlv good. Grand Trunk was good on
tralllc reports. More attention was given
to AmerlcanH in the belief that New York
anof the unwieldy Industrials s
s
buying St. Paul here where the position

Woolen goods of'nll descriptions were dull

arc making a record for slow market. The

CATTLE fhla was the big day of th (
season so far as cattle were concerned. 29 !
cars being reported in the yards , as agalnsl
261 a week ago and 201 two weeks ago
There were in the neighborhood of 2,000 tt
2.GOO killing cattle and the balance , some
5.000 to 5,500 head , were feeders and stockers
The , .y.ard.8 were full of , cattle , nnd as soim
of the trains did not arrive until late II
was well along in the forenoon before every
thing hod been yarded. In consequence th (
market was very late In opening. When li
did open It was alow and lower , owing tc
the largo receipts and Vick of encourag
ing reports from other seHlng points.
Buyers were reporting about twenty-flv
loads of corn fed steers and about forty
loads of grass westerns , good enough foi
beef , In addition to scattering loads of Texas
and odds and ends. As a general thine
buyers did not hesitate in saying that thej
must have , their cattle lOo lo\yor and tholt
bids showed that thev meant what they
said ; more than that they bought the cattle
that way. In other words , the market was
slow and lOc lower on the general run ol
beeves.
There were about thirty- loads ol COUE
and heifers In the yards und buyers wanted
them at lower prices , but owing to the good
demand nnd the moderate offerings It was
not a very easy matter to pound prices ,
The bc&t of the offerings sold at satisfac
tory prices , but there was a disposition tr
depress everything else. The Swan cows
and heifers sold at $3.C5 , while thn last
bunch that was here brought $3.SO , but II
had u larger proportion of heifers , nnd the
bunch before fhat brought $3.70. Other good
westerns brought J3.70S3.80.
The feeder market \ s.s In the worst shape
of anything , for the reason that the yards
were full of that kind of cattle. Not onlj
were fresh arrivals heavy , but speculators
had a good many cattle carried over from
yesterday. There was a world of commor
cattle on sale , but no very great number ol
really good cattle. There was a demand
for good cattle , but the common and me
dium stuff was badly demoralized. As n
general thing the market was lOc lower ,
but any one who had cattle that would not
be considered desirable found it even worse
than that and It Is'hard to say just how
much lower It really was. Sellers wcro callIng -
Ing it a rotten market and that perhaps
best expresses the situation. Represent
ative sales :

SHEEP The receipts were the largest
of any day In two weeks or over and there
was a fair showing of pretty much every
thing. At the same time there was nc
great number of fat sheep or lambs com
pared with the size of the demand. Chicago
cage and Kansas City both reported weak
markets , but owing to the very good de
mand there was no material chance here ,
In fact the most desirable stuff sold al
firm prices. Common and undesirable sheep
may have been a little weak.
There were moro feeding sheep and lambs
on sale than for some tlmo past , but the
demand for that kind of stuff remains verv
good , as has been noted right along , and
it was no trouble for holders to get satis
factory prices.

fereuco of opinion , Grand Master Work
man \V. H , Miller of the Ancient Order ol
United Workmen tins removed from offlc
Walter K. McKntlrc. chairman of the com-
mltteo on nnance. The matter will most r
likely bo taken before the grand lodge for
final adjudication. Members of the order
question the right of the grand master to remove -
move Mr. McEntlre. It Is asserted that tlie
proper course for Mr. Miller to have pur
sued would Imvo been to have preferred
charges against McEntlre.

reference to the alleged gigantic combina

have not been approached on the subject.
The preposition Is absurd on the face of It.

mammoth war ship building plant In the
