"Wheat Rallies Sharply and Starts Well on
Heavy Seaboard Acceptances ,
DECEMBER CENT AND AN EIGHTH HIGHER
9aln , Corn nnit I'rovlnlonn Folloiv

Tendency.
CHICAGO , Oct. 10. Tito nppcnranco o
war news from abroad today , together
with heavy acceptnnccH at the seabonnl ,
caused a sharp rally In wheat. December
closed 1011-Sc higher. Corn gained ! 4c.
Oats ad/ancod > 4ft3-Sc. I'ork left oft un
changed to 2 0 lilcher , lard unchanged
and ribs unchanged to 2&c up.
Wheat orcratlonB before business started
hero showed nn ndvanco of lUfflVid over
Saturday's close on fears ns to the con
troversy with Franco over the Nllo ter
ritory. That advanced valued hero shortly
after nnd traders wcro stimulated Into
unusual activity. Additional Impetus was
given the market by the fact that shlp-
incntn from Russia last week showed a
railing off some 600,000 bu. , as compared
with these of the preceding week , and
because of heavy cable acceptance of
wheat offers made over Sunday by ex-
jiorterfl. To further add to the discom
fort of those who went short from last
week , there wcro "pointers" In circula
tion that the government crop report would
make a very bullish showing In wheat.
The combination was sutllclent to cause
general covering by shorts of almost every
eort. Meanwhllo the early bearish news
was entirely disregarded. The Michigan
uuthorltlcs estimated the total yield of that
ntato as the largest ever known there.
Mow South AVales placed Its exportable
ii 11 rpluH greater than Is usually reported
for all of Australia , and It was also re-
portnct that the foreigners were reselling
wheat on account of the sharp advance in
prices. In consequence of this the market
did not fully maintain Its early figures ,
nevertheless the trade was not disposed to
hammer prices , as the liberal rains in
the northwest promised to- cut off receipts
1o some extent. Another factor that dis
couraged any heavy selling wns the vis
ible supply , which showed an Increase of
only Olf.uOU bu , , wlicro an Increase of 1,500-
000 bu. had been expected. Chicago re
ceived 497 cars , against 303 last year , and
Allnneapolls and Duluth receipts were
3,502 cars , compared with 2,413 last week
und 1,407 a year ago. Primary market re
ceipts wcro 2,151.000 bu. , against 2,817,000
bu. the week previous. Reports from the
seaboard that the export , engagements ag
gregated 1K > boatloads and the sulo of
200.000 bu. No. 2 spring and No. 2 hard
winter wheat hero for Liverpool caused a
very strong tone during the closing hour.
December opened 7-8l 1-So higher at 63 5-8
C/637-Sc , rose , to 64c , sold oft to 633-8 ®
Ci ! c , then recovered to 63&QU37-8C at the
close.
Corn started strong with wheat , but
there was considerable opposition from the
receivers , who sold with some freedom.
The liberal loans In a good portion of the
corn belt were relied upon to cut down
the receipts nnd elevator Interests gen
erally brought on the belief that the gov
ernment report would be a bullish ono.
The volume of business was ahead of
any reoont day and as the market opened
away above calls , there wns a natural
dcnlrs on the part of the sellers of these
privileges to stop losses. December started
* i < H'3-8c higher at 29 7-8030C , declined to
29)ic , and advanced to 29 7-Ec buyers at
the close.
Oats followed corn. Receipts were 637
( nars. May began % 83-Sc up at 22 7-8c to
23c. sold oft to 22c , then Improved to 22 7-8
< 323c. the closing figure. The strength In
grains , together with a light run of hogs at
higher prices , started provisions strong.
Disquieting yellow fovcr rumors caused a
very unsettled feeling and the advance was
seized upon by leading packers of consid
erable product. The trade was not broad
enough , however , to absorb the offerings
and values quickly slumped off. Scalping
shorts who rather overdid the selling after
they discovered the source of the heavy li
quidation early ran the prlco up at the close
In an attempt to cov r. Their purchases
brought the market up to very nearly the
opening figures. January pork opened 5 ®
7Hc higher at $8.90 , declined to $3.75 nnd
rallied to $ S.S5 at the close. January lard
) > cgan 2'c up at $4.8214 , sold off to $1.73 ,
then recovered to $1.SO , the closing figure.
January ribs started unchanged to 2&c bet
ter at $ I.G211. weakened to $4,65 , then Im
proved to $4.62H. the closing prlco.
Estimated receipts tomorrow : Wheat , 270
rars : corn , 315 cars ; oats , 430 cars ; hogs ,
62,000 head.

NEW YORK , Oct. 10. The room traders
on the Stock exchange turned bears again
today and sold stocks nil through the list.
Outside of a fuw cases they did not meet
with much success In securing a following ,
but In a number of high priced specialties
and , later In the day , In some of the rail
roads the declining market did Induce some
liquidation.
This was notably the case In Northern
Paclllc , which went in the last hour to <
38 3-S , u lops of 1 4 per cent , und closed | I
heavy In tone. Offerings of this stock wcro
very largo and the price movement revived ,
rumors of Irreconcilable differences between ,
the two powerful financial Interests' In ths '
property. The large German holding of this
stock made It peculiarly susceptible to the
effects of money stringency In Berlin. Indi
cated In tlu rise In the Imperial bank rate
today to 6 per cent. The same factor af
fected other railroad stocks also. In fact ,
the Influence of all foreign markets was on
the side of the bears.
The relations between Great Britain and
France disclosed by the publication of the
Fashoda Blua Book caused sufllclcnt appre
hension to produce a decline of 3-8 per cent
In British consols and to unsettle all the
Europ3nn marKets. The continued uneasi
ness In Franco over domestic politics and
the possibility of the failure of the peace
commission to agree upon terms were also
upon the side of the bears.
There was some alarm over the spread
of yellow fever in the south , in which Illi
nois Central was the most severe sufferer ,
losing 1V4 per cent. Losses on the grangers
reached a point , except on St. Paul , which
resisted the decline. The principal activity
on the market , however , continued to cen
ter In the Industrial group , and Sugar fell
to 110 with no visible support. Ths offerings
on the decline were very large. People's
Gas , Rubber , Leather preferred , Manhat
tan. Metropolitan Street Railway and N3W
York Air Brake were all sufferers at onetime
time or another during1 the day to the ex
tent of from 1 to 714 points. Tobacco was
a prominent feature , but ruled nbovs Sat
urday's level the greater part of the day
on the acquisition of a largo plug tobacco
Interest. The prlco advanced from 1 to
over 3 points , but the stock closed un
changed. Lake Erie & AVestern , common
and preferred , fell at ono time 3Vi nnd 1014
per cent , respectively. The preferred rallied
nearly 3 points. There was no news to ac
count for the decline. A loss of 3 points
In Oregon Navigation preferred was also
explained. There wns no reflection in the
stock market of the active foreign demand
for wheat for export or evidences of the
expanding business of the country In the
Increased demands from the west for
money. The transfers of currency nt the
subtreasury for shipment to the .west
amounted to $810,000. Conditions In the i
money market continued easy.
Bonds weakened late In the day In sym 1
pathy with stocks , Wisconsin Central firsts
losing nn extreme 2i per cent nnd Oregon
Short Line 114 per cent. Total sales , $2-
450,000. United States old 4s , coupon , and
5s advanced 14 per cent and the new 4s ,
registered , and the 4s , coupon , 1-3 per cent
In the bid price.
The Evening Post's ' London financial ca
blegram says : The stock markets here
opened flat today on the Fashoda dispute
and the rise * In the- German bank , rate , but
closed better generally on favorable nd-
vlees from Paris. Kafllrs were especially
strong on the announcement of a favor
able report of crushing by the , Pioneer
mlno In the Rhodesia district. The only
effect on the German bourse of the rise
of the. bank notes was to cause a desire
to sell German consols and other country
investment stocks on this market. Selling
from Berlin of Americans has quite ceased
for the moment. Nevertheless Americans
were dull , closing near the lowest In the
absence of Now York support. Now York
and Berlin are competing for gold here
nt 77s ll'/id. It Is believed here that the
worst of the financial strain at Berlin Is
over. The London short rate for money
rose to 3 per cent , subject to a possible
ndvanco In the Bank of England rate on
Thursday.

\evr York Dry f > uodn Market.
NEW YORK , Oct. 10. There was moro
activity In some lines of dry goods today
than has been the case for some weeks.
The cooler weather brought many buyers
to the city from nearby points. Most of
this trade went to , ' the jobbing houses , but
sellers nt first hands noted slight Improve
ment on many lines of cotton goods. Sell
ers of woolens and worsteds have censed
to look for any radical Improvement In
the > market , and are content to accept
whatever re-order business was forthcom
ing. The manufacturers of clothing nro
the chief reliance of the woolen men nt
present. Even their dealings have been
on a conservative basis. Print cloth bids
for sixty-four squares at the new prlco of
115-16o are by no means numerous. Odrls
are also quiet. Staple cottons were slightly
Improved In some lines today. The gain
was notlceablo more particularly in
bleached goods. It was not heavy enough
to have particularly lasting effect on tne
market.

CATTLE There wns a fair run of cattle
hero today , though considerably smaller
than ono and two weeks ngo , as will be
noted from the table of receipts. As was
the case all last week , the most of the cat
tle here were grass westerns on the feeder
order.
1 There were no cornfed steers In the yards ,
at least none to amount to anything , and
for that reason thu market could not be
said to have , been tested. Desirable corn-
fed cattle would. In all probability , have
brought strong prices. There were only a
few western cattle good enough for the
killers , and the market on anything on the
beef order could be called stronger. Quite
a string of the pitchfork brand cattle sold
to n. pucker at $4.
Regular yard traders cleaned up their
holdings of cattle pretty well last week , and
the most of them were looking for fresh
supplies this morning. At the same time
they were all anticipating largo receipts
for the next two days , and for that rea
son were not especially strong buyers.
Good cattle , which Just happened to suit
a buyer , and were wanted to fill some spe
cial' place sold in some cases a little
stronger , but the general market on stock
ers and feeders was inclined to be slow , in
fact , common kind were neglected to a
considerable degree , nnd the feeling was
rather weak.
There were a good many cows and heifers
In the yards this mornln ? , the proportion
ct that kind of cattle being larger than
usual for this market. The result of the
large offerings was Hint buyers held oft
and the market was very late In opening
and when It did open It was slow ana
weak. Representative sales :

HOGS The arrivals of hogs today were
hardly up to the record of n week ago , but
at the amu time the run was larger than
the average for a Monday. The trade
opened early at an advance over Saturday
of a strong 6c. For a time the movement
wns active , or until buyers with urgent
orders had secured what they required.
Then It clacked up , and for a time came
to a standstill. The market closed dull
with a good share of the mornings ad
vance lost. The early salts were largely
nt $3.C2',4ff3.65. with a top at $3.70. On Saturday -
urday the hogs sold at $3.65 3.65. with the
lone string at ! 3.67'i'33. 0. It will be noted
I from the table of average ist\ce \ * nt head
of column tnat the mnrlKt i * still lower
tlinn n week ago by n f < ? w centi. and that
the hogs sold today nt the hlchtit point
since Tncrdny of last week. It looks now
n If the yellow fever reports from Missis
sippi might provo on Injury to the hoc
market , Everyone knows that the ex
istence of fever In one southern state , and
especlrlly thl * Into In the season , would
mnko no appreciable dlfforMieo to the i < nlo
of hog products , but the sentiment Is such
on the Chicago Board of Trade that every
tlmo there Is any fever talk the bears pro
ceed to pound down the market. As n
matter of course the price on live hoc
follows the lead of provisions. Representa

SHEEP The arrivals of sheep showed up
pretty well on paper this morning , but a
considerable proportion of the arrivals
consisted of feeders nnd stackers , so that
there was no great number of killers on
sale. The market , as a whole , wns rather
slow. Buyers for packing houses did not
seem particularly anxious for the kind of
stuff on sale , and the tr.irto wan Inclined to
drnT. Some sheep sold at steady prices
and at the same time others brought less
money than was paid for same kind last
week , but they were generally regarded as
buying brought n high prlco last week.
Taking It nil In nil the market would have
to bo quoted simply ns slow. There were
quite a peed many lookers for feeders , and ,
as usual , with that kind , sellers were en
abled to unload at satisfactory prices.
