A uetter unuertone prevailed .11 tne wheat pit auil at tiineii tne market was quite stiong Vltb. trading of a more active character than ot lale. Opening prices were llrm notwithstanding tne lower lor elgn markets, December being up 1-3. at Vfi'vw '"'a- rJcalpr were liberal buyer of December but the May delivery wan quiet generally neglected.

During the lust hour, however, prices agfiln rallied on a good cash demand for mills for No 2 red and on reports of a big export busi ness done via the gulf, it being claimed Wi or 70 boat londs had been sola for Ship ment bv southwest houses.

Corn was on the bull tack, and more thin made up the ground it lost on the previous session. Buying was of an Influential char acter, provisions Interests taking the in itiative on that side of the market. Conn try offerings were light and there was no special pressure to sell until toward the noon hour when the reaction In wheat led to freer offerings from the local crowd. Then in bull factors of the session were the prospects of more favorable weather, bet ter cash balance and reports from Illinois of damage by cold. After pelting at 44V'o. cember closed g fic higher at 445 S Receipts were 6Gb cars with 12 of contract grade.

This action had not been decided tip to the close f the market and the depressing innuence of the suspense, accordingly, was not re moved. Dealings were the 'smallest for many weeks and small as they were a large proportion or tne wnoie wan mwnmi by the I'nlted States Steel securities, which were the onlv stocks In which the unner i.imv nver the dividend action was made the occasion for speculative price move ments to ny. extent. This Is largely due to the fact that the financial worm nn.i been in great doubt over whnt the effect m-,,i,l Ho nt lha dividend action. Whether the passing or reduction of the dividend could result In any further fall in the price of the company's securities has been much questioned. The conservation of a surplus, it is now believed, would have held the manter price 01 me -. o m r er than the distribution or uivioenon on he common stock, which has proved tit erly unavailing to hold the market. T he harp advance in tne prenrreu " rtnmnnn nt more than 2 tmlnts. while the common stock was but slightly higher was due to the party that was In doubt over the declaration or tne oivioeno, woo .. ui.vxH that the additional security for tho preferred by the retention of the surplus In the treasury would result In higher prices. Outside or tne nteei hiocrb he market was exceemngiy mniuw h movement Inslirnlrlcn nt. Onlv a hand ful of stocks rot as much as a point away from last night, and extreme movements were not maintained in any place. The carlv movement was oownwaru, nnu r.nHnn naaisted in this tendency to some ..i.ni nn account of the unsettled opinion In that market from the British cabinet changes. Some of the selling was re ported to be for western account, and may have been associated with the reports of deterioration Ir. the wheat yield In one or two of the western states, which caused a firm tone in the wheat market. The gov-.-nmant'M wMiWiv rennrt on corn was con sidered highly satisfactory, but the report on cotton was ren 10 leave a k'o. be desired. There was no pressure of liquidation at any point ana ine nrnrnri re covered in sympathy with the lato upward n.-.,r,f in I'nlted Rtnlcs Steel Dreferred. The full recovery was not held, but the Closing was steady ana snoweu very bubo. net changes as a rule. Ti. time mnnev market seems to he growing softer, and apprehension of any real stringency nas wen pi my pated. The large movement of gold toward London and the cessation of the Berlin de mands for gold seem to assure the pros pects for that center. The lateness of the crops does not seem fullv to account for the long postpone ment of the western aemana tor currency nH the belief in training force that the de posit of government funds with western banks has supplied a sufficient proportion of the usual demand to relax the pressure upon New York necideaiy.

' NEW YORK, Oct. .-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of 2fi5 points on better cables than expected and covering but demand was light and at first showing a little further gain on some months; mnrket eam-d off to about yesterday s final under liquidation and bear pressure. The receipts tor the day held fair to fall below last years', however, there was an Idea that the weekly bureau report at midday would make a bullish showing and toward noon the market steadied up on renewed cover ing and some outside demand, reaching a basis about for to 8 points net higher at this level the weekly report was read and proved more favorable to the croo than haa been expected and with full estimates for tomor row receipts at leading points In connection with further declines In the southern spot mnrkets the list turned weak again de clining sharply under heavy selling for hear accounts. The close was within $ or 4 points of the lowest of the nearby months. Salea were estimated at 5SO.0O0 bales. Port receipts for the day footed up 63.232 bales against 70.&S4 last year and exports amount ed to about 15,000 bales. The weather map reflected very favorable temperature over the belt and the showers reported were not thought detrimental to the furthering of the yield. NEW ORLEANS, Oct. .

Owing to the moderate offerings and to the good local demand the market on all desirable grades of cattle ruled active and steady to strong. Packers all eeemed to be anxious for cornfed steers and as the supply was small, the same as usual, the market was active and a little stronger on the better grades. There were some cattle of pretty good qual ity on aale, as Is shown by the fact that as nign as X5.3U ana w.w was paid, snort fed stuff, of course, did not show much of any Improvement. The proportion of cow stuff this morning to the total receipts was not large and as a result the market ruled active and steady to strong all around. The strength was confined mostly to the better grades, which were scarce, while the bulk of the offerings was on the common to medium order. Bulls, veal calves and stags met with ready sale at fully steady prices. The demand for stockers and feedera from the country was fairly good for a Monday and as a result speculators took hold of the fresh arrivals this morning with considerable confidence. The better grades and- especially tne good heavy cattle sold at strong prices. The commoner grades of the receipts this morning consisted of feed ers, but still a goon clearance was made. Western grass beef steers were quite plentiful, hut the quality of the bulk was very Inferior. Anything at all desirable could safely be quoted strong, while the medium and common cattle held about steady. Range cows were In good demand at steady to strong prices and the same eould be said of stockers and feeder. Rep resentative sales: BEEP BTEER8. No, 4.. I.. 14.. t.. 4t.. n.. At. Pr.

Packers started out here bidding a dime lower on a few hogs and some loads sold that way, but Chicago soon came 10J zoo lower and then the market here flat tened out and kept getting worse until the close. Sales were made all the way from 10 to 20c lower, but most of them were KKf 15o lower. The heavy hogs suffered the most and sold from 85.45 to .f. Medium weights went from $5.56 to $5.60, and lights sold from $5.60 to $5.70. Toward the close of the market some medium weights had to sell down around $5.55 that were pretty good hogs. It was a very slow draggy market from start to finish and one which Is very difficult to operate on successfully. The extreme close of the market was very dull and a flat 20c lower than yesterday. At time of going to press indications were that a good many would be carried over until tomorrow In first hands. Representative sales: No. AT. 8b. Pr. No. At. 8h.

The supply this morning was more moderate, but still for the two days thU, week there is a slight Increase over the same days of lust week. The quality of the offerings this morning was exceptionally common ana in iact packers complained that they could not fet enough good stuff to fill their orders, t would be safe to quote desirable mutton grades In active demand and fully steady. This would apply to good lambs aa well as to good sheep. The common stuff, ow ing to the heavy receipts of that class, are of course, more or less neglected and rather weak. The big end of the receipts this morning had to be classed as feeders and the qual ity was common at that. The demand was sufficient to take all the good stuff at steady prices, but when it came to the In ferior grades and especially to light and common lambs the market was slow and a little lower.
