Jobbers Say Flr.ancal Disturbance Will Work For Lcwsr Food Costa. Chlciso , 111. , Oct 31. That the proa- -cnt disturbed fincclrl condition may tiring in its \\nko a general and sub stantial reduction In the cost of living was the talk yesterday among Jobbers , wholesalers nrJ ictnllcrs of meats , eggs nnd ether food products. Some of them expressed the belief tiiat n reduction cf 10 per cent In the retail price cf meats mry be made In n few days , should the present money stringency continue. If the present comparatively mid weather continues , there Is sure to be fi diop In the price f bcth fresh pnd ccld storage eggs. Nenny 1 000,000 cases of eggs are In cold utorpgo in Chlcngc. For several weeks fresh eggs have sold nt 27 cents n dozen retail , and the "cooled" vari ety at 23 cents. Hca\y receipts of fresh csgs from the south may cause a market reduction in the price of both Tnrletles In a few days. In South Water street many dealers were quoting the best creamery butter at 20 cents a pound wholesale. This probably will cause a reduction in the retail price cf from 35 cents to 30 and 31 cents a pound. While the retail price of beef and other packing house products remain ed substantially the same , hope was held out that a reduction by the pack ers Is at hand. There was a single exception In pork , which advanced In price. This was attributed to light receipts. Reforms In the Army. Washington. Oct 31.

Confidence con tinued today to be rapidly restored In the iinaucial situation. Paris banks today cabled an offer of fifteen millions of dollars In gold , f It Is needed. All stocks on the exchange ruled stronger today than at any time dur- ng the past week. New York , Oct. 31. The financial situation U HI near normal that there are no new fcatureb of Importance. It was statoil by bunkers that the calls for money from the neighborhood of New York nnd the entire east ap pear to be putcllciilly satisfied , as such calls for curicncy of an urgent char acter as wcie being received cnma from points west ot the Mississippi. these calls are being mot as fast as conditions permit. Mr. Williams , the new state superintendent of banking , gathered up most of the cash In the suspended banks and deposited It with going Institutions , thereby odd- Ing several millions to the funds available in the market. The debit balances against banks at the clearing house were smaller than usual under normal conditions , all such balances aggregating only n little more than $9,000,000. One of the points at which the most pressure for money Is ex pected Is at Now Orleans , In order to finance the movement of the cotton crop Public Buying Stocks. One of tno most Interesting devel opments in the situation Is the large amount of the purchases of securities m small lots for investment. Most of the large private banking houses which sell blocks and bonds have been keeping the clerical force at work overtime executing such orders and attending to the transfer of titles to the securities on the books of the cor poration by whlclf they are Issued. This is one of the decisive marks of investment buying. It Is estimated by food Judges that there are 400,000 more ruiuioa of stockholders on the books of the railway and industrial corporations than was the case a year Ago. A single large firm reports sales between $500,000 and $750,000 per day. Another firm states that Its wires to outlying places are crowded with small orders , directing the transfers of the securities to the names of new owners , whllo still another firm de clares that there has not been a movement of this kind of such vol ume for twenty years. Cables Not Disquieting. The cables from Europe were not disquieting to those familiar with the situation there. It Is generally ex pected that the Bank of England's dis count rate will be advanced today , but this will be too late to affect en gagements of jjold already made for the United States. The disposition In Paris to aid the London market by loan on sterling bills Is regarded as an Indication that the French bank Is well fortified and Is willing to pursue under Governor Pallaln the generous policy which hns usually characterized Its action In emergencies. The absence of any fail ures in New York of any importance , except that of Kouler Jb Co. , a pri vate banking firm , and the offer of rail money at low rates wore toe oth er favorable symptoms of the situa tion. Attorney Oeorg L. Rives was ap pointed by Supreme Court Justice Lester W. Clarka a receiver for the Knickerbocker Trust company.
