CHICAGO, Oct. 17. What was
higher early on cables, but reacted later
on poor support, December closing 'c
lower. Corn closed and 6uts Uo
down, Provisions closed unchanged to Co
depressed.
Wheat was tlrm the first halt nt the ses
sion under the Inlluenco of an advanco at
Liverpool and reports of damages from rain
In ArKcntlna. Trade was moderately ac
tive, with a little nibbling for the English
account. December opened 'tlU;,fiC higher
at 76i8'U75,ic, and on proflt-tnking by
calpers touched 75',e. The offerings wero
aslly taken und later encourascment In
tho way of reports of a cash demand In
tho northwest nnd a shurp ndvanco at
Djluth, together with tho lightness of
Bortliwest receipts, December steadily ad
vanced to 7&MHM4C. The bulge, however,
tilled to recelvo support and under selling
y disgusted local bulls December dropped
to 71ttc and closed heavy and e under
yesterday at 75c, New Vork reported 2
loads taken for export and seaboard clear
ances In wheat and flour were equal to
ICl.OOi) bushels, Primary receipts wero 1,
Ill.ftM bushels, compared with 1,208,000
bushels lust year, Minneapolis and Duluth
rejorted 377 cars, against 577 last week
and 665 a year ngo. Local receipts were
165 cars, three of contract grade.
Corn was dull and neg'ected, with tho
tendency lower, partly on easier cables,
but tho demand was also diminutive, Tho
cash situation wim unsatisfactory, ship
ments being only Wl.tmo bushelD, compared
with , bushels it yenr a'(o. Receipts
wero ;i7:i cars. December sold netween 3j?jo
and 35U closing VjUSc lower at 35'ia
Oats were stagnant and deserted, the
trade being almost entlroly of a small
culplng character, Thero was also little
business done by shippers. Hecclpts were
ISO cars, Deeomber soM between 22'e and
WiU?:r. closing 'Afffce down at 21V!.!2o.
I'rovlslons were qulot and easier early
on nioderato selling by local Interests, but
tho market steadied later on buying for
the English account. January pork sold
between Jfl.li7'4lSI.S) and 86.65, closing un
changed nt XntiVs, and January ribs be
tween ri.07ifiiti.ii0 and J5.92Mru'5.9.. with tho

Ilulls 3lnUe Continued Effort to Ad

NEW YOUK. Oet. 17.flomo continued
effort was tntido In professional quarters
to ndvunce the prices of stocks today, but
tho bull forces were considerably depleted
und it was evident that tho manlnulutlon
for tho advance In somo quarters wns
taken advantage of to realize In others.
Yesterday's market fairly demonstrated
that tho oJtstnndlng short Interest had
been reduced to such proportions: as to
mako their demand Ineffective in continu
ing tho ndvunce In prices, Today It looked
very much us though some of the Impor
tant bull Interests had taken early cog
nlzanco of this fact and had promptly
taken their profits. Some of the recent
Influential bull operators had fairly re
versed their position today and were openly
largo sellers of stocks. There wns suf
ficient show of strength In yesierdny's
market to nttract a considerable accumu
lation of buying orders from outsldo
sources this morning. In spite of opening
recessions this buying encouraged the built
to resunio operations for the advance. The
sharp twist to the short Interest In Pro
plos (liw was an Influential factor in their
"'Ivor. 1 ho dellnlto announcement that
the People's and tho Ogden companies
had adjusted their differences and had
como under ono control caused excited
trading In People's Ons. Orders wero
simultaneously executed at quotations run
ning from 93 down to 93 on tho sale of
3,600 shores at the opening, Tho prlco
was later run up an extreme 23i. Owliii'
to the amount of long stock which came
out at that level tho prlco fell back and
ho stock closed with a net gain of only
Hi. The reaction In People's Oas und tho
satisfaction of the outside demand for
stocks mudo the later manipulation for the
advnnco Ineffectual, Sojthern railway pre
ferred und Louisville to Nnshvlllo wero
pushed tin 1 nnd 1J and thero was eager
buying of the Heading stocks on tho com

of 3 points nnd Consolidated tins rose 4SJ.
Thero wero some substantial gains in a
number of prominent stocks nnd
amongst them n few net gains wero saved
on the day. nut the c'oslng showed n
reactionary tendency throughout and wns
weak, with many stocks nt the lowest of
tho dnv. The expectation Is prettv con
fident that Saturday'n hunk slntement will
make n strong showing, but there is. some
recurrent anxiety ns to the future. A
largo part of tho Incoming gold imports
are accumulations picked up from differ
ent sources In the open markets nnd tho
reservea of tho great bnnks abroad have
not been encroached upon.
1'nenslness continues In foreign money
mnrkcts ns to what will happen If Nuw
ork makes such demands for gold. Au
thorities In the London money market at
tributes the current ease of money hero
to the disbursement of government 'credits
and they regard with disquiet the con
tinued course of continental exchnnge
against them. The Rank of Entflnnil Ins
uttempted without success to stiffen dis
count rates bv borrowing from the open
market. In view of this non-success it Is
a question whether the offlclnl discount
rate will be advanced tomorrow Th
weekly statement of the Imperial Hank
of Germany wns notably strong, but the
Hank of England had to surrender gold
to Paris today, as It did yeHterdnv. In
New York funds continue nvallnbio for
borrowing, but they continue mostly from
loan nnd trust companies, who draw on
their deposits with the banks to secure
them, thus forcing a shifting of loans.
Tho current relief from tho subtreasurv
Is bolleved to have about come to an end
and should a recovery In tho prlco ensue
a renewed demand for funds by the in
terior, tho New York money market would
a?aln have to face tho result of falling
reserves.
There was a falling off In tho nctlvltv
In the bond market and Increasing Irregu
larity. Total sales, par value, $1,600,000.

by the wny In which settlement of tho
African and Chinese troubles is dragging.
Americans opened weak here, fearing tho
effects of Ilrynn's work In New York. New
lork rallied prices later. Paris was un
settled, selling Spanish bonds and Hrnzll
Inns rather heavily. The bank sold 42.0

tho general opinion here that the bank

NEW YOH1C, Oct. 17. The cotton market
opened at an ndvnnce of 12K20 points, Liver
pool liavlng advanced "!if 10-4-1 on futures
and 1-32 on spot cotton. Indications in the
cotton belt pointed to cold weather and
local yentlment was prepared for the frost
threats mudo later by tho government.
However, tho mnrket here was not very
well supplied with orders nnd prices nftbr
the opening cull showed 11 reaction of SBIO
points under selling by parties who wore
afraid of tho large receipts. Southern spot
mnrkets failed to give uny support; most
of them. In fact, declining anywhere from
IkflS under tho pressuro of receipts, with
exporters and American rplnnors nliko
showing 11 disposition to hold off for still
lower prices. Tills led to n good deal of
Irregularity. Private accounts from the
Fouth failed to give much encouragement
of any change for tho better without con
tinued bullish leadership at Liverpool. Ac
counts from tho cotton snot markets were
not much better, with spinners Inclined to
mako engagements for the remoto future.

CATTLE The supply of cattle wns a
little more liberal today than yesterday, but
prices did not show much fluctuation.
About forty cars of corn cattle were In
cluded In the receipts, which gave buyers
n little more chance to discriminate against
the less deslrnble stuff Tho market, how
over, was Just about steady, taking It as
a whole, although buyers nnd sellers were
a Uttlo slow In getting together. Tho
handywoight cattle of good quality were
in tha greatest demand, while the heavy
grades were a trifle slow.
There were more cows nnd heifers on sale
than there has been any day so far this
weok, about forty cars being reported.
Uuyers all seemed to be wanting supplies,
so that tho market held Just about steady.
It was apparently a trifle uneven, some
calling tho mnrket a little weak, while
others said It was strong, but on the aver
ago about steady prices wero paid. Thero
were not very many strictly choice cows
on sale, the built of the offerings being
mude up of tho medium kinds. Canners, as
usual, wero In good demand.
Stock cows and heifers and stock bulls
wero rather scarce und the market good
and strong. Stock bulls are nil of 15c
higher than they wero a week ago.
Stockers nnd feeders were In good de
mund again today at a Uttlo 'stronger
prices. It Is safe to say that the mnrket
is now 25c higher all nround than It was
a week ngo today, which was tho low tlmo
of last weok. The demand from the country
continues in good shape, so that yard
traders are not obliged to carry over very
many from dav to day.
The few western beef cattle that nrrlvcd
today mot with the usual good demand ut
strong prices. Cows sold generally steady,
though receipts wero quite liberal and tho
quality rather common. Stockers nnd feed
ers sold freely at stronger prices, or 25o
higher than they would have brought a
week ago today. Representative nales:

HOCS The ling mnrket continued the
decllno again todnv. chlcngo eiuno lower
and packers nt this point started out bid
ding 7Urtfl0c lower than yesterday. In
view of the fuel that there wns a fairly
liberal supply In night sellers did not sen
much chance of gaining anything by hold
ing out nnd so cut loose at those figures..
Tho bulk of tho sales went from J4.62'4 to
JI.63, with n few of tho choicest loads
selling at Jl.67$ und ns high ns
J4.72J was paid. Somo of tho commoner
stuff of course sold below J4.62'fc, but tho
bulk went at J1.62V4 nnd JI.65.
After about seventy loads had changed
hands It beenmo evident to sellers that
puckers had liberal orders and as a result
they held their droves higher and buyers
had to pay u fduule stronger prices for
what was left. Tho close wns nctlvo and a
shado stronger than the opening, every
thing changing hands nt a reasonably early
hour. Representative sales:

sheep bolng on sale that were good enough
for killers. Cholco lumbs were ready sell
ers at good, strong prices. Tho quullty of
tho jambs was better than has been the
cose of Into and a string so.'d ns high ns
r,'T,. TJtero was ulso ouTte n few at 5.0'J.
Tho mnrket opened strong and nctlvo nnd
In somo cases It seemed to Improve and
dales wero mudo that looked lOo or 15o
hlchor.
Tho few fat sheep that were offered also
brought good, strong prices und everything
wan sold In good season.
In splto of the big run of feeders yester
day and tho day beforo practically every
thing was cleaned up at Just about sternly
prices. Tho market today did not show
much clinnge. tho demand apparently being
sutllclent to take all that was offered.

Unredeemed Articles Hint Hare Hern
Sold lir n Prt ivuliroUer.
Outeldo of London und Paris, nays the New
York Times, there Is probably not a city In
tlio world where such varied and unique col
lections can ho found ns In the shops of tho
curio dealers of New York, who mako a
business of buying up articles nt pawn
brokers' sales. If tho pawnshops contain
silent evidences of family and Individual
woes, tlio houso of tho curio dealer has them
multiplied many fold, and with them untold
family histories, romances, and even crimes.
Odd phases of human nature nro often
revealed In tho clinractor of pledges, and
ono of the oddest of theso Is often tho
Bccmlng Indifference displayed by a nu
merous class who for various causes hnvo
parted with gifts which havo their names,
engraved thereon. Just how and why most
of theso articles llnd their way to tho curio
dealer's shop beforo redistribution to tho
general purchaser, once moro to go on their
travels, Is n mystery which uo man may
fathom.
In a llowery Bhop near Houston street,
whom the proprlcter. M. Rosenthal, burs
anything from n suit of clothes to fntnlly
relics, heirlooms and diamonds, arc pledges
In ono shape or another ftom nil pnrtn of
tho world, and somo of theso dnto back
to the time of tho Egyptian kings. Hut,
coming back to modern life, ono of tho
features of tho collection Is tho number of
trophies won by sporting men and athletes,
whoso- names nro moro or Icsh familiar,
nnd who havo become separated from their
property, onco proudly worn as evidences
of strength or skill.
A shining nnd conspicuous article in tlia
collection from the pugilistic field Is a cham
pion belt onco belonging to Prof. O'Donoran,
now instructor In athletics at tho New
York Athletic club, Tho belt is a heavy
solid silver affair, bearing in front at tha
clasp an American shield, flanked by tho
American and Irish lings nnd suitably in
sclbcd. Tho belt started on its wanderings somo
years ngo. About three months ngo tho
professor, who It Is now explained Fpolls his
mime Donovan, heard that It was resting In a
Dowery show window and Bent r.omo friends
down to enter into negotiations. They de
parted. Baying they "would call again."
Subsequently the protestor denied that tho
belt belonged to him.
Many athletic trophies nro to be found
in tho curio shops. One of these Is a gold
and ennmeled medal won by J. W. Kennedy
in a dumb-bell lifting content. Tho trophy
records that Mr. Kennedy lifted a thousand
pounds, (leorge Whistler, who won fame
ns tho champion water walker of America,
deposited his property on tho counter of .1
llowery pawnbroker, who sold It when tho
law allowed. Dadges for marksman nnd
Masonic emblems appear In goodly numbers.
How they got Into the hands of tho pawn
broker might furnish ninny 11 n Interesting
and pathetic story, but whatever tho reason,
no owner over called. Among tho marks
men's trophies Is Valentino Lorz's gold
King's medal, presented to him In 1899 by
tho Harlem Independent Schuetzen corps.
One of tho most curios things in tho col
lection Is a Gqrman badge, from fifty to
seventy-five years old. ft Is of gold, show
ing n utar in tho foreground and In be
tween the points, ns a background, Is rep
resented tho Oermnn englo. A rcmarknblo
circumstnnco about this decoration thnt
has found its way across tho ocean only to
rest among other pledges Is that It is be
stowed only upon memborH of tho royal
family or upon renowned generals of tho
empire who mny win it hy deeds of unusual
valor. On ono star point is n crown and
underneath a letter "I1'," supposed to stand
for Frederic. Tlio decoration ulso hears
this Inscription: "Pour le merlte."
A plcdgo of equal or even greater rarity
Is a largo medallion of Jefferson Davis in
closed in n lenther case. It has tho In
scription, "Confederate States of America,
22 Feb., 1862," and "Deo Vlndlce." Only
enough of those wero mado originally to
supply each member of Jefferson Davis'
cabinet beforo it was broken up.
Rack In 1873, tho ofllclals and citizens of
Clydo, N. Y presented to tho fire depart
ment of Lyons, In token of generous aid
rendered, a finely chased and enrved speak
ing trumpet. Tho presentation was mado
on October 8 of that year and boro tho
name of tho chief engineer of the Lyons
firemen. His natno was carefully erased
cither beforo or after tho trumpet started
on its torturous Journey among strangers
and today tho trumpet Is one of tho old
soldiers In tho shop.
A heavy silver-backed mirror left Or
ange, N. J., somo time within the last ten
years. In 1890 tho Orange Lawn Tennis
club held nn open tournament. The trophy
was for women's singles, hut tho winner
never had hor nnmo carved In tho spuco
not apart to Indtcato that alio was the suc
cessful nlaver. Of femlnltio and mascu
line silver ornaments won at contests and
given ns prcsenlb there are legion, fallen
from their estate Into the hands of tho
businesslike pawnbroker, only to be sold
to tho hlggest bidder when time was up,
Even tlio Insignia of law Is not sacred
to the pawnbroker, as Is evidenced by tho
solid gold badge of Frank Wolf, ono time
deputy shorllT in this city. Tho near
neighbor of this budge is a diamond afTalr
presented to Captain Frank .Gregory by
Company" 1), Twenty-second regiment, away
back In 18S0. Hugging this latter closely
Is the Insignia In gold and precious stones
of Sir Wllllnm II. Heck, paBt emlnont
commander of St. Mary's rommaudery,
Nn. 36, Knights Templars, whoso homo In
1S7C, when ho received it, was In Philadel
phia. That city Is ulso represented In tho
lmdgo of Past Emlnont Commnndor Sir
I. Spencer Smith of Corlnthlnn Ctiasacur
commandery, No. 63, Knights Tornplar.
Of college frutdrnlty pins there aro
dozens, many of them bearing their
owners' namos or initials.
