10 THE O3fAHA DAILY BEE : SATURDAY , OCTOBER 8 , 181)8. ) COMMERCIAL ASD FINANCIAL "Wheat Market on a Small Boom on Good Oaah Demand. CORN GOES UP WITH IT A NOTCH BETTER tncronnc In Drntnml for CrrcntN Canned liy Continued llcnvy For- CKU IJcniiinil Provision * FcuturclcNN , CHICAGO , Oct. 7. The cash situation .was the feature In wheat today. Strong outside cash markets nnd sales for ex port hero and ut the seaboard were the main factors lit an advance of 3-Sf/Vic , which marked the close. Corn was llrm , helped by wheat on a good shipping de mand and closed l-8o higher. Oats were steady and closed unchanged. Provisions Hhow little chance. Liverpool gave the tone to the early trading In wheat. That market surprised the bears by showing 3-Sd advance ut the otart. As the local market had lulled to advance yesterday , a decline In the Eng lish market was looked for by a good many nnd the contrary being true , the more timid shorts covered at once. The result was an opening advance of 3-Sc In December , tliat option starting at 02 7-811 C3c. All forenoon the market showed strength , shorts being more or less prom inent , while a good deal of quiet Invest ment buying was done. Plenty of bull news drifted In during the morning to encourage buyers. Northwest receipts were moderate , Minneapolis and Duluth reporting 1,019 cars , ttgalnst 1.26B lost week and 1,126 u. year ago. Chicago receipts were 262 cars , 11 of contract grade. For eigners wore good buyers here and at Now York both for October shipment and later delivery. Cash sales here were about 150,000 bu. , including 50,000 bu. No. 1 northern direct to Ulo Janeiro for mixing with South American wheat. Atlantic port clearances were very heavy , amounting to 953,000 bu. In wheat and Hour. The Modern Miller reported the Hour output large with a good export demand. Primary receipts were 3.117,000 bu. This amount was about 200,000 bu , heavier than a year ago. Argentina whipped no wheat to Europe this week , but sent favorable reports on the growing crop. The market here was at Its strong est around noon. The seaboard reported xport sales of at least sixty loads. This ovldenco of the continuation of the recent lieavy foreign demand for American wheat was responsible for a considerable In crease in the demand which was aug mented by the strength of cash wheat In outside markets , notably New \ork and Minneapolis , and the highest price of the day wan reached , December being bid up to 63 S-SQtiS'/ic. This was nearly Ic above yesterday's closing price and showed n profit tempting enough to bring about u Kood deal of realizing lu the last hour of the session. Prices dropped somewhat un der this , althouch offerings were well taken. December finally declined to C3c , closing steady at that. Corn , though dull , was slow. The ad vance was almost entirely In sympathy with wheat as the late decline In tlmt market was followed by corn , nearly all the early advance being lost. Independent bullish Influences were an Improved cash flemand and large seaboard sales for ex port. Country advices were to the effect that the crop had been Impaired In some places. Receipts w ere S3 cars. December ranged from 294e to 301-Sc and closed l-8c lilzhcr. There wus quite a good general demand lor oats and prices most of the day were slightly higher. Cash demand was better at Improved prices. Clearances were liberal 479,000 bu. The market sympa thized with the late , decline In wheat and corn to the extent of losing all Its small early advance. May ranged from 22 7-Se to 238231-Sc and closed unchanged at 22 7-8c bid. Provisions were extremely dull. The market was heavy at times , due to the gravity of yellow fever reports , but shorts with profits always came and In the end there was little change In prices. The range was narrow. January pork closed " ' ,40 lower at $8.92 % , January lard a shade lower at $1.85 and January ribs a shadu hlrher at $1.65.

NEW YORK , Oct. 7.-The stock market continued narrow and wholly professional today and even the Industrial specialties which have shown violent fluctuations and feverish activity for some time past fell into comparative quietude. The Industrials , nevertheless , continued to occupy thu most prominent place In the trading. The move- nient of prices In this group was conflict ing In the early part of the trading , but the reactionary tendency had the upper hand In most cases and wiped out nearly all of the earlier gains. Sugar was less active than of late , but ruled above yesterday's level most of the day and rallied a point from the lowest In the late dealings In face of the continued heaviness of the general market. Metro politan was advanced early to 167 , but broke In the late dealings to 1G3V4. People's Gas and Brooklyn Rapid Transit also en joyed their period of strength , but suc cumbed In the late dealings , the latter showing a net loss of 1 3-8. Tobacco , Con solidated Gas , Cleveland , Loruln and Wheeling preferred , Reading first pre ferred , Pacific Coast Improvement and a number of other specialties were notably weak. In the railroad list the most notable feature was the continued large offerings of Northern Pacific and the poor absorptive powpr of the stock shown by the market. The opening- was at a decline of 7-S In spite. of the fact that It was the one- American stock that showed an advance in London. The price declineil at one time l'/i and ral lied only feebly. Some effort was apparent to support the price at times , which was attributed to German holders , but the bur den of liquidation was too heavy. Union Pncfic sympathized and the preferred stocks of both companies were heavy. The declaration of the regular dividend on Northern Pacific preferred was an Incident of the day. There wcro rumors In connection with the decline of Northern Pacific common of a serious difference amongst Inside Interests over questions of policy , these Interests holding a very Influential position toward the whole transcontinental situation. There is fear that further ponlllcts over trans continental business will be involved In the outcome. Next to the Pacifies the grangers were moat notably affected. The failure of this group to respond to the very favorable earnings shown by recent statement has also invited realizing. Rates for time money were easier today and mercantile paper Is also tending to a lower basis with a very little supply In the market. The shipment of currency to the interior dur- Ini ? the week has offset Imported specie and tomorrow's bank etatament Is expected to show a further large gain in cash reserves. The reactionary tendency developed In parts of the bond list after early firmness. There were sharp gains In Wisconsin Cen tral Ists and Susquehanua & Western gen eral 5s. Total sales , $3,165,000. United States 2s advanced 7-S , 3s , when Issued , 3-8 , the old Is , registered , and the new 4s , coupon , M , and the new 4s , reg- "The Evening Post's London financial ca blegram says : The stock markets hero were quiet and dull today , politics and the monetary position in Berlin being the chief factors. The latter especially affected American rails , notably Pacific stocks , and the close in this market was at about the lowest. Argentines. Spanish 4s ami other fore-lKn securities were generally lint. The decline in consols Is said to be partly due to the Bank of England borrowing on them. If so. it Is very Important as affecting the future of the money market here. The September trade returns are decidedly sat- isfnctorv. The London discount rate Is 211-16 due to the monetary situation In Germ'anv. The bes t opinions favor a rise m German bank rates on Monday , but con- slderablo doubt Is expressed. Such a move ment would probably be followed by a rise in the rate here. The situation In Germany s not really serlou ? , but It may entail con- shlcable s ow llqulefatlon.

It was the smallest run since Saturday of last week , but it was a good thing for the mar ket to give it a little breathing spell after the excessive receipts of Monday , Tuesday and Wednesday. There was very little beef among the day's arrivals , and such tattle as were available for killers were fully stonily. Good kinds of beef steers might even bo eiuoted as strong. Anything in the way of good grass beef was in strong demand and as wus noted yesterday that kind ot cattle Is selling as high as any time this season. Very few cows and heifers were in the yards ane ] not enough to cut much figure in the day's transactions. The market did not show any material change from yes terday as regards values. The feeling In the feeder division was somewhat Improved. The market on the better grades of stackers and feeding cattle has recovereil somewhat from the effects of the heavy offerings the first half of the week , but It Is still lower than last week. Even afer such Improvement as has taken place In the two days It Is safe to say that the medium to e.-ommon kinds of feeders are all of iOo lower than last week. Hold ers of common yearlings complained that they were almost unsalable- any price , no one appearing to want that kind. The most of the cattle in the yards sold in reasonable season and a good clearance was effected. Representative sales ; STEERS. No. Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

Jt will al o be noted that the receipts for the five. iTays this week are not us largo as for the corespondlng days of last week by several thousand head. The light re ceipts had a good Influence on the market and gave sellers an opportunity to clean up stale holdmsx. The market opened 5c higher , with selling at J3565J3.G ) , as against .50. yesterday. The trade , however , was not so very actlvp. In fact It wae rather In clined to drag , as buyers did not appear to feel that the hogs were worth the money , and after about half or two-thirds of the offerings had been token It became decidedly slow. Sellers nil wanted strong prices and were holding on hard , which mode the movement rather slow , but In the end the hogs all sold , and at the ad vance noted above Today's nilvanro makes UK for a little of the decline this week , but the market ! s still a dime lower than It was a week ago and close to ftc lower than It was on Monday of this week.

Developments In thl cnso of the so-callcil Manhattan Realty com pany show that the operations of the mon behind that concern had extended nil over the- - country , with this city as a base. The pollco say that all times the promoters would cngngo In legitimate business and thus ac- qttlro a standing. In the Center street court Charles Spencer , Joseph B. Hart , Alexander McCntilry and Stephen C. Mocn were re manded for examination. Later Moen wa § brought out and hold In $1,500 ball. At rhe hearing enough was developed to show the Interesting methods of the Manhattan Realty company. The company had hand- Eonio offices at 11 Broadway. It also had places , under another name , at Twenty-sixth street ) and Brondwny and In the St. James building at 19 Fulton street. The shrewd operators also had branches lu Chicago , St. Louis , San Francisco and other western cities , and anyone asking for references In any part of the country was referred readily to a concern that would emphatically en dorse their Integrity , by wire or telephone. The old discretionary pool game was a i strong favorite and wonderfully successful. The comixiny sent out circulars , principally to farmers , stating that It had "an Instdo tip" on the grain market and would take customers In on 'tho ' deal for deposits any where from $50 tt > $1,000. No partner In the deal could Invest moro than $1,000. An other plan was to advertise for partners In a lucrative * business. Of course money wai needed , and once that was received In most cases the lucrative business would disap pear. Flood of Counterfeit I11IU. SAN FllANCISCO , Oct. 7.

They were readily exchanged for golddust and their falsity was not discovered until the returning miners tried to pass them In Portland. The banks of this city , following the precedent of the Institutions In tha north , have refused to handle any bills of that denomination. The paper Is said to beef of government make , ns are also the various inks , with the exception of that with which \ the number Is printed. This Is of an ordi nary quality and cannot withstand the ac tion of add. Mtii'liiriliil Unlit In ItHiiinn. WICHITA , Oct. 7. The first rain for month fell this morning and still continues.
