CHICAGO ; Oct. C. Wheat today firmed
up lain In the session and closed at a shade
advance over yesterday's llnal llgurca.
Heavy seaboard engagements and higher
cables brought about the rally. Corn was
heavy on liberal receipts and slack ship
ping demand and declined ' ,40. Oats eased
a Hpllt fraction. Prpvlslons were firm and
closed CO12tc ! higher. Opening prices for
wheat uhoweil u slight decline from yes
terday , December starting nt 62 3-SOC2ic. !
Though the early news was somewhat
bullish In tone , it was evident that shorts
had pretty well covered their lines yester
day , for the market showed no strength
and on the contrary weakness for Homo
tlmo after the opening. In half an hour
December had been nold down to C2 1-bQi
C24c ! under rather frco general gulling.
Liverpool was 3-bd higher. Northwestern
was considerably smaller than of late ,
lllnneapolla and Duluth reporting arrivals
of 8G4 cars , compared with 1,190 last week
nnd 1,040 u year ago. New York reported
foreigners good bidders for spring wheat
for shipment.
Encouragement was given sellers by the
Ohio crop report , which made the crop
63,000 bushels larger than tha government
report tnado It last month. Minneapolis
also contributed to the early weakness by
reporting tin increase of 3UJOw busncls In
country stocks for September. The lirst
Bulling ( lurry over , the market became ex
cessively dull and prices kept within a nar
row range for some time , though a grad
ual Improvement In tone was noticeable.
\\i \ to 12 o'clock , however , December uld
not advance much nbovo M 3-bc , but during
the afternoon buyers became more numer
ous. Outside markets were all stronger
than this , .Minneapolis and Duluth buniK
especially strong lor cash wheat.
Foreign markets also showed strength ,
Tarls reporting 10 centimes ndvunco and
Uuda I'esth 6-hc. Thu strength of foreign
markets was attributed In part to the dry
weather prevailing In England and on the
continent. Thu seaboard reported a de
mand late In the session , putting the ex
port engagements as high as 100 loads.
This , and the higher northwest markets ,
ntartcd shorts to covering freely for the
first tlmo during the session nnd the mar-
Itet reached Its highest point shortly before
the close , December gutting up to C2 6-S j )
62 > ic. The close was 621-8JC2 5-8u.
Corn was slow all day , with prices In
clined to droop. Cables * were not so strong
as expected. Receipts were liberal * M
cars and rather heavy receipts were
looked for tomorrow. Crop reports as a
rule were favorable. Clearances were
nrrall , barely 200,000 bu. Shippers reported
u very slack cash demand. December
ranged from 29 8-&c to 29itf2'J 7-Sc and closed
' , ic lower at 29 5-Sc.
Thq market for oats was very quiet ,
with prices a llttlo lower In sympathy with
corn. Receipts were light 341 cars but cash
demand rather alow. Clearances were 107-
(00 bu. May ranged from 22 7-8o to 23c and
closed a shade lower at 227-Sc.
Llttlo was done In provisions. The mar-
Itct early was weak , mainly on account of
liberal hog receipts and lower prices at the
yurds. After early sellers had disposed of
their offerings , the market became llrrncr
In tone. Demand for meats was good and
lard sales liberal. This helped the specu-
Jatlvu market. Prices gradually advanced ,
the market being linn at the close. Janu-
ury pork closed 7Uc higher at JS.93. Janu-
nry lard 10fr'12Hc ' higher at $ I.S5jri.87'A and
January ribs Z'S'Mc higher at $1.621 4.65.
Estimated receipts Friday : Wheat , 215
cars : corn , 810 cars ; oats , 400 car ? ; ' hogs ,
3,000 head.

NEW YORK , Oct. C.-Inllucnces govern
ing the stock market today were largely
conllned to developments In the ppcclaltUfc' .
The status of the war In the Sugar trade
was momentarily loH sight of , owing to
consistent support to the stock. A further
reduction In refined was a signal for a raid ,
but after effecting ! a break of a point the
stock rallied strongly nnd eventually ruled
a point above yesterday's closing price.
Subsequent weakness robbed It of prac-
Icnlly all the gain nnd communicated
iciivlness elsewhere. Pools were evident i
tiring Iho course of the day , and this
nctor , In addition to moderate ; outside pur-
liases , embracing a large sprinkling of the
nactlvo stocks , occasionally sustained
> rlces , although the general run of stocks
nvored a lower level.
Liquidation was very pronounced In
Northern Pnclllc common , Union Pacific ,
Jenver & Gulf ; Loraln preferred nnd To-
acco. The latter broke 4'i. Imt rebounded
requently nnd clo. ed u point above the
owcst. President Duke was quoted as re
using to deny or conllrm the current ru
mors regarding the negotiations with wcst-
rn plants. Dullness bccnmo qutto pro-
icunccd during the afternoon , and but few
hnngcs of note occttrrcil except where spo-
lal considerations operated. The opera-
Ions bv the arbitrage Interests were on
both sides , early purchases being thrown |
ver when the reactionary tendency be-
amo marked. Reports of railway earnings
rom the- less Important lines , which aver-
ged well , coupled with encouraging statc-
nenlB from Influential railway olllclals re
garding the outlook for general business
nnd the announcement of the appointment
of the arbitration committee to settle the i
eng standing light between the Canadian
'aclflc and the American transcontinental
Ino regarding the question of differentials
> otwoen Atlantic nnd Pacific coast points
did not arouse much enthusiasm. Prices of
he railways outside of the grangers and
iome of the fouthwesterns did not get up
o laft night's level and llnal prices all
around were about the lowest.
The bond market continued to rellcct a
steadily Increased outside demand which
oiind expression in purchases of the stand
ard mortgages and speculative buying of
ho middle grade issues. Wisconsin Ccn-
ral Ists were in exceptional demand and
it one time showed a rlso ot 2 points to
9 , but subsequently suffered from reallza-
lens nnd lost half the gain. Total sales ,

were quiet today. They opened Hat on de
velopments regarding Fashoda and closed
generally at , about the lowest. Not the
east Important factor Is the financial situ
ation In Germany , to which special refer
ence was made In these dispatches on the.
23d ot September. Berlin has been specu-
atlng In Industrial securities In nil parts
of the world , In addition to American
shares , und there Is some , danger ot nn
overstrain. Bankers here are beginning to
throw out a certain class of German bills
Irawn on German houses with only foreign
agencies here. 1 learn that large amounts
were loaned today to Germany for three
nonths at 414 per cent. Today's further
rise , ot 1-16 per cent In London discounts
s duo to this German position. A rise In

CATTLE Today n receipt" of cattle wftro
a good deal smaller than yesterday and the
smallest of any day since Saturday. Still
there was a fair average run for n Thurs
day. As the week draws toward an end
It was expected that there would be a let
up In the receipts and today's moderate run
was very grateful to sellers , as It gave the
market a breathing spell and an oppor
tunity to got the yards cleared up. In ad
dition to the fresh receipts there were still
a good many stale feeders In the yards , so
that there was no shortage of cattle of that
kind.
As has been the case all the week , there
was no great number of fat steers good
enough for the packers. The market on fat
cattle was fairly active and the offerings
for the most part sold early at good , steady
prices. After all the big receipts of cattle
this week , which are the largest of the
year for the four days , and on Tuesday
the largest In the history of the yards , the
market on fat cattle has not fallen off very
much. Cornfed steers are probably 10t15c ?
lower for the "week , but fat grass steers
are fully steady. The Swan cattle sold
today at $4.03 for the Mexicans and $4.15
for the two bars. That was 6tilOc ; lower
than the last told for , but It was claimed
that there was that much difference In the
cuttle. On the other hand the C Y cattle1
sold for lOc more than they brought a
week or so ago , and other examples might
bo given , showing that the western grass
beef are no lower.
The market on cow stuff was not much
different today , as compared with yester
day. The Swan cows brought $3.70. Bulls
were rather slow and lower , as > buyers
complain that the country does not take
hold of them as freely as usual.
A very largo proportion of all the cattle
In the vards consisted of stockers and feed
ers. The feeling this morning was a little
better , and pome were sanguine enough to
expect a stronger market , but while there
were a good many lookers from the country
they did not take hold very freely , so that
the market lacked support , and the cattle
did not sell any more than steady. Good
to choice cattle were sought after and
I moved off freely , but the medium to com
mon kinds were bard to sell. As noted yes
terday , the market on the common to
medium stock cattle nnd feeders. Is all of
20 < I30c lower for the week. Representative

HOGS Light receipts ami a good demand
constituted an element of strength this
morning uiul the market nt this point , re
gardless of weak reports from other selling
points , opened active ami fully sternly on
heavy and mixed packing hogs. The prices
paid were $ J.50 anil J3.52 < 4. the same , us
ytnterday. Light hogs were n little easier ,
the best selling tip to S3.CO. as against
J3.G5 for the top yesterday. Sonio loads
on the butcher weight order went at J3.M.
but the proportion of sales nt VJ.57'4 iiiul
J3.60 was inueh smaller than yesterday.
inuk'ng ' the average for the whole market
lower.
The early market was quite. nrtlvo and
the most of the offerings changed hands
In Bond season , but after the most urgent
orders were lllled the trade naturally
slowed up. Then , too , rnmo the most unfavorable -
favorable reports from Chicago , which In
dicated a lifeline of lO'jloc , with u hirgo
number of hogs unsold. Aw compared with
the Chicago market the hogs sold high
here , t'mler the Inlluenco of the discour
aging reports from Chicago the market
cared off and closed lower , with bids uf
J..43H3. ! 0 on rough heavy.
It will be noted from the figures at head
of column that .the receipts of hogs , while
very large , taking Into consideration the
different markets , have nut been as largo
at this point as they were last week or
thrco weeks ago. Today the receipts were
unusually small for a Thursday , owing un
doubtedly to the break In prices having
caused shippers to hold back the hogs.
The course of the market has been stfadlly
downward all this week. On Saturday of
last week the hogs sold on an average at
jt."l ; , on Monday there was a drop of fie ,
on Tuesday n shade to Sc and on Friday
loo. In other words , the market today was
li'.se lower than It was at the close of last
week. Representative pales :
SHEEP There was a pretty decent run
again today , but the receipts consisted for
the most part of lambs. As a rule , the of
ferings were good enough for the killers ,
and as the demand was good , the most of
the receipts changed hands early. The
market on fat sheep was just about steady
with yesterday , there being no quotable
change. In fact , the market at this point
has shown very little change so far this
week.
There Is nothing new to be said regarding
the market on stock and feeder sheep and
lambs. As has bcf n the case right along , the
demand Is good , and there Is no trouble ex
perienced In disposing of all that arc re
ceived. Values do not show any material
change from day to day.
