CHICAGO , Nov. 21. Wheat was wca
early today on a poor export dcmarfd am
expectations of a 'large ' Increase In thevis
Jble , tout rallied on n. marked improvemcn
in the foreign Inquiry and nn Increase 1
the world's visible under early predictions
closing MfMiiO higher. Corn , actuated b
ralnfl , closed WMc better. Oats closed t
nhado to Mo higher and provisions nt a
Hmnll gain.
Statistics nt Uio opening In wheat wen
not ot a pronounced character. Inltla
prices were unchanged from yesterday'
close , December at C6B 7o and May a
71ft71V4c. ( Export Inquiry was poor , th
world's visible was expected to Increase
liberally and a. local trader recently re
turned from abroad announced opinions do
cldcdly bearish. This wns sufllclcnt fo
the letting out of some long wheat nni
December sold down to G6Gfi ? lc and May
to 70c. ' The strength of corn hue a steady
ing tendency und nt the decline the marke
fluctuated narrowly on the operations o
scalpers.
The tlrst Incentive to buyers came when
New York nnd Duluth reported n. tlecldec
Improvement In the foreign Inquiry and i
better business tone. Meanwhile the visible
supply had failed to como up to predic
tions , showing an Increase of only il6,000
bu. Shorts bought with considerable , ani
mation , December advancing to G714G6ia8C
nnd May to 71c. The close was liJic over
vcsterday for both options , December at
7KW,4e nnd May at 71c. New York re
ported 25 loads taken for export. Atlantic
port clearances In wheat und Hour were
equal to 232,000 bu. Primary receipts wen
comparatively small , 1,160.109 bu. , against
0.968,421 hu. last year. Minneapolis nnd Du-
Itith reported 1,225 cars , compared with 88
last week nnd 1,277 the corresponding da >
la"st year. Local receipts worn 103 curs , 4 ;
of contract grade. Shipments were only
BOO.OOO bu. , compared with 1,239,000 bu. n
year ago.
Corn wns strong throughout the. session ,
a condition directly attributable to the
rains In the corn-growing sections. Coun
try roads suffered nnd the movement from
farms was of a consequence interrupted.
Coming at a. time when rural offerings were
expected to bo n. llttlo freer the weather
liccnmo a very Important factor. Shorts
bought nil they could lay their .hands on
nt a reasonable figure. The opening. De
cember at 32Jc and 'May nt 31fi33l < iC. was a
Kaln of a shade for May nnd ? c for De
cember and. though the price eased fiac-
itlonnlly with wheat at the opening , senti
ment was bullish and the recovery rapid.
December advanced to 32032ic nnd .May
,1o 335&C. nt which both options closed , a
cnln of % Pic for December and ot % c for
( May. New "York reported 50 loads taken for
export. Receipts 'hero were 360 cars. Clear
ances were 216,000 bu.
Oats were llrm and trading fairly active ,
ithough business wns largely the changing
from December to May contracts , or from
corn to oats , to lake advantage of the
spread. The cash demand was small , only
75,000 bu. being taken here for shipment.
[ Local receipts were 284 cars. December
ranged from 23c , to 23Vic. closing a shade
lilgher at 2314 ; 'May sold from 2lc to
2414c and closed ' /MJ'/ic better at 2414c.
( Provisions were firm , Influenced chiefly by
the strength of corn , holding In splto of
considerable selling o-t December products.
Hogs were a shade higher. Liverpool un
changed for American producls and ship
ments small. On a somewhat brisk mar
ket January pork rnnged from $3.4714 to
89.53 , closingCo higher nt $9.5214. January
Inrd sold from $5.10 to $3.1214fi5.15 ( nnd closed

No Speculative Furore nnd SecurltlcM
Continue In AVnltliiR Attitude.
NEW YORK , Nov. 21. The character
of the securities market today continued
much the same as yesterday , that Is , In
an altitude of walling. Thcro was no
signs of speculative turoro nnd no largo
organized buying was in evidence. Such
a market has a natural tendency to grav
itate downward. Selling pressure wns not
severe , however , holders of stocht being
content apparently to retain their holdIngs -
Ings nnd wait for the money situation to
work itself out. The rosy-colored views
of the Influence to bo wrought * by the re
demption of government bonds , have ap
parently been modlllcd.
The offerings ot bonds at the Now York
subtreasury were somewhat larrcr nnaln
than yesterday , but there were no slgim of ,
the great blocks ot bonds accumulated by I
great banking Interest ! ! , of which rumors
were heard nnd visions were seen lait
week. Some of the speculators who were
demonstrating for nn ndvnnco have been
giving out assertions that blocks of $10.-
000,000 nnd even of $18,000,000 In government
bonds were to be presented to the mib-
treasury nnd the proceeds used to flood
the money , mnrkct and force the rate down
to n Dolnt of ease.
There wns no stringency in the market
today , but the money rate stiffened sug
gestively to II per cent In the late dealIngs -
Ings , ns if to Intimate that the supply ot
funds for speculative commitments Is still
restricted to n nnrrow compass. Now York
exchange nt Chicago and snmo other Im
portant outside centers weakened during
the day , the Chicago rntn falling to par.
Something wns beard also of monov
stringency to come from London , though
today's quotations failed to forecast any
such event. Money nnd discounts declined
In London nnd In Berlin and the sterling
market hero was soft. Money was sillily
held , however , in Paris above the Bank oC
France's discount rate nnd thlq week's
action by that Institution Is anticipated
with Interest.
The dullness of the stock market was
unrelieved except by professional specula
tion In Isolated cases. Mnnhattnn wns sup
ported and retrieved part of yesterday's
loss. Sugar , on the other hand , weakened
on denials of recent atorlcs of a settle
ment In the trade war. nnd Leather took
a downward plunge on liquidation by tired
holders. The organized buying In Balti
more & Ohio preferred and Southern Paclllc
was discontinued.
The following are the principal stocks
that showed advances : North American ,
Smeltln/r. / Glucose. Lend , Metropolitan El
evated , Rubber , Cleveland , Cincinnati , Chicago
cage & St. Louis. Canada Southern , Ches
apeake & Ohio , the Chicago , ImllanapolN
and Louisville stocks , the Chicago Terminal
stocks , Rio Grande Western preferred and
Great Northern preferred. Lacledo Gas
was notably weak , with nn extreme de
cline of 4 > J and a rally of 114.
Profit-taking was In evidence among
speculative bond Issues and the tone of
the market was reactionary. Total sales ,
par value , $1,510,000. United States old .4i ,
registered , declined ' ( , . while the now 4s
advanced ! 4 In the bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says : The markets
hero were aulet and dull today. There was
no news affecting them. Dear money was
still talked of , some hinting at a higher
bank rate. Consols were persistently of
fered 5-lfi down to 110 % .
Ono explanation of this was Japanese
selling on account of recent Japanese sub
scription to the treasury bills. Americans
were neglected and dull. Baltimore & Ohio
and Southern Pacific being the. , weakest
features. London thinks that the strength
of New York's last bank statement was
obtained at the expense of the market.
Spanish 4s reached 63T4 on Paris buying.
Tlntos were 46 % . Anacondas were ! ) % .
Ecypt took 100,000 gold and Gibraltar
5.000.

and th ( > south the features of business.
After the llrst hour's trading business
dwindled down to a small room Interchange
of accounts : prices slowly fell back to the
close of last night , from which level there
was little departure for the rest ot the ses-
blon. Sentiment averaged up decidedly In
favor of the staple as the receipts failed
to reach proportions , as southern spot markets - |
kets were reported flrm on good export , as i
clearances for Europe exceeded port reI I
colpts and a short crop report came In with
as much freedom as at any time of late , I

CATTLE Taking the moikct ns a whole
there was no any very marked change in
eUhcr direction. While receipts -were mod-
crate , It was a dark , rainy day , the cattle
.looking at their worst , and there was noth
ing to Induce very active buying. Still
practically everything changed hands In
good season.
'Prices ' on beef cattle were about the same
as were paid yesterday , but the market as
a rule was slow. These half-fat cattle are
selling lower all the. time and It Is the
general opinion that they will go still
lower , as they become more plentiful In
the markets.
Good cowa and heifers seemed In pretty
active demand , but there wo very little
hero that would answer to that descrip
tion. The market on that kind of stuff
could safely be. quoted as firm. Buyers
were calling It hlgner. On the other hand ,
the market on common to medium kinds'
was slow and easier. Canncrs did not sell
ciulte so readily aa they have on most days
for the last week or more.
The best feeders were In fair demand
and the market was not changed on that
kind In any marked degree. Common feed-
ng and stock1 cattle were rather slow , and ,
If anything , -weak. Representative sales :

HOGS Receipts were large this morning ,
as expected , but no wns the demand , and
the two seemed pretty well balanced , Buy
ers evidently wanted the hog * nnd the mar
ket opened early and was active at prices
that wcru strong to n shade higher than
yesterday. Theto was a larger proportion
of sales at $3,90 and fewer at $3.8714 than
yesterday. Yesterday the highest price paid
for the best liogf. . was only $3.9i'4. while
today there were a few at $1.93. The mar

being In a good , healthy condition and en
tirely satisfactory to the selling Interests.

inclined to no a little slow ann prices wrrc
10ffil5c lower. The demand , however , was
fair at the decline , thoucrh It was rather
latp before everything had changed.hands ,
owing to difference of opinion ns to values
between buyers and sellers. Thi > situation
In the sheen manket may bo briefly ex
plained In thin way : For some time back
fat sheep have been selling nt this i > olnt
right up to Chicago's prices and today s
decline and the weak feeling noted vepter-
day was due to efforts on part of buyers
to get prices down here , where they would
bo In line with other markets.
There were a few feeders In today and
the demand pecmcd to be fair , prices not
being materially changed.

STICKNEY CALLS IT A FARCE
I'renldcnt of ClilenKO Great AVcHtc.ru
Exprcnnefl Illtiinelf Frankly to
the IndtiNtrlal ComnilNHloii.
CHICAGO , Nov. 21. The testimony of
President Stlckney of the Chicago Great
Western road before the subcommittee of
the National Industrial commission Inves
tigating rate discrimination was given very
frankly and some ot his statements caused
sensations among his hearers. His first
declaration was :
"I tell you frankly those published freight
rates are not maintained by the railroads
and cannot bo maintained. It Is an 1m-
possibility. The Interstate commerce law ,
as far as investigations and corrections nro
concerned , io a roaring farce. "
A sensation was created , as the statement
flatly contradicts the sworn testimony of
more than half a dozen railroad presidents
who said freight rates were adhered to
strlclly.
"I'm a heretic , I know , " said Mr. Stlck
ney , by way of Introduction to his argu
ments that congress should keep Its hands
off the business affairs of the country , that
powers of the Interstate Commerce commis
sion should not bo extended , and that carry-
ng charges must vary , as 'lo prices for
commodities In the trade 'world ' , oncondl -
lons.
On taking the oath Mr. Stlckney stipulated
that ho was giving opinions merely. He
assorted that , contrary to the reports made
> y the commerce commission , automatic
couplers and other appliances had Increased
accidents. The question of Issuing free
passes was taken up. The witness coincided
with the view that this practice should bo
abolished.
"Wo find it to our Interests , however , "
aid he , "to extend favors to certain classes
of men who may ask for them , "
"Isn't it an evil to morals that Judges
get passes and private citizens none ? " came
he question ,
"Well , I don't like to pass on morals , "
was the answer.
"What would you think of the abolishment
f the pass fcyetcm and ticket scalping ? "
"My attitude on such questions , " was the
nhesltatlng response , "Is * that congress Is
ot created to run the business of this coun-
ry. The beet thing congress can do Is to
epeal some of the laws It has made. The
Icket brokerage problem should bo left to
be railroads and the public. "
"Is not the bulk of business done by the
calpera given them by the railroads ? "
"I presume It Is , " was the ready reply.
Congressman Lorimer then asked an
pinion ot the Imprisonment feature of the
ntl-scalplng bill several times presented to
ongrces ,
"A most outrageous piece of barbarism , "
as Mr. Stlckney's comment. He then
lowed that If the Interstate commerce law
3 to publishing tariff schedules were care
lled with there would have to bo 4,500,000
ates formulated on the three classifications
F freight matter.
"I don't think pooling would have any
ffect on holding rates stable , " said he. ' "In
10 first place , I do not believe a noel could
10 formed , and , In tho' second place , unless
It embraced everything It would be product
ive of results which wo wish to prevent. "
"Do you favor publicity of railroad af
fairs ? " was asked. "An examination of
books by government experts , as with
banks ? "
"I am opposed to every principle of gov
ernment paternalism , except In polka
authority. I would object to government
Inspection of national banks , Government
Interference has wrecked more banks than
ever went to pieces In any other way. As
to government ownership , I believe that the
federal government , If handling the rail
roads , would meet with the same limitations
against which private ownership now hn
to contend. "

the mercenary young girl ,
"I am , " ho protests , finally , "a consistent

Hero the girl laughs derisively , for re
ligion cuts no Ire with her.
"Scientist ! " adds the old man , finishing
his sentence.
It Is at this point that the mercenary
young ulrl throws herself with a glad cry
upon the rich old man's neck , deeming It
likely that ho will die about the first t7mo
he sets sick.
