" -He IllKhcr , Pork Improve * JO G'cntH , J.urd 7 l-2o nn < l Illbn & Cent * . CHICAGO , Oct. ll.-Tho continuation of n large export business today , together with the strength In corn , caused a sharp rally In wheat. After an early decline , Decetn- l t.r wheat closed % 0c higher. Corn ad vanced " -ic. Oa4s rose U V4c. 1'ork im proved 10 cent * , lard 7' ' 'SlOc and ribs 6c. The excitement regarding thu Nile coun try having apparently subsided , the wheat market at the start began to drop back Into the rut from which the alleged war news hud rescued It. There was also a current belief among professional specu lators that the price -was a little too high without the sustaining Influence o export IjUBincca or some similar Important Item. As a consequence considerable pressure wan put on from the start and there be- lug no material volume of buying to coun teract It , the tendency was steadily but ulowly downward. Liverpool cables opened unchanged , then ranged a trifle higher and llnally closed weak at a loss of H@H < 1. Though the pressure from the professional element was mifllclent to depress the price to the level at which puts hud been sold , the opposition which these offered seemed BUcfllclent to prevent any further decline. There was u stiff cash market at Mlnne- npolls and prices were quoted % c higher than yesterday. The weather In the north west , however , was butter and the primary market receipts were so large as to prom ise another record-breaking week. The to tal today was 2,015,000 , against 1,318,000 bush els for the corresponding day last year. Export clearanccH from Atlantic ports for the day" were 490,000 bushels. As the ses sion advanced the Indications became nu merous that the early selling by the pro fessionals had been somewhat overdone and prices took an upward turn. Local flour exporters said that all their offerings of Hour to the United Kingdom yesterday had been accepted and reported sales of KO.OOO bushels cash spring wheat to Liv erpool direct today. Now York , In the meanwhile , Dwelled h"r exports to sevcnty- Jlvo boatloads and the corn market was netting a pace which made the wheat bulls ashamed of themselves. Aa the spirits of the bulls rose , those of their opponents drooped nnd It was not , therefore , a dif ficult matter to start them scrambling after wheat. During the excitement that fol lowed the top price of the session was reached. Arrivals nt Chicago were 2i3 car- loadr , against 283 last year. Minneapolis nnd Duluth receipts were 1,788 cars , as com pared with 1,203 last week , 1,267 a year ago , becember opened Mo lower nt 6.1V4fiC3c , de clined to G3U < ffC3c , then rallied quickly to 61Wc , sellers at the close. Com was the strongest market on the floor. Initial trades were at a slight ad vance , caused by the government report , which showed n falling off during Septqm- J > er of 2 points In the condition of the crop. In addition to that , there was an enormous rxport business hero and at the seaboard nnd there were four leading elevator con- wrns In the pit buying heavily. The Liv erpool closing market Phowed an advance nf 4d for spot and of % ftd for future deliveries. Sellers of calls were also In terested parties after the advance began imil were soon In competition with other buyers In an effort to protect themselves from losses incurred by s-nles of these priv ileges. Receipts were 919 cars. December opened unchanged to % c up at 29W30c , field nt 29c then rallied quickly to 30Hc , thoclohlng price. The bearish showing of the Kovernment report caused a slight conces sion in oats at the opening. When wheat and corn came to an upturn , however , oats were not slow to follow and the early de cline was recovered and a galnpf W took ! ( . = place. Receipts were 425 cars. May Btartcd unchanged to Ho lower at 22Tic. declined to 22'Vic ' , rose to 23V4c , and declined to 23Vfc at the close. Continued alarming reports of the spread nf yellow fever In Mississippi and very large' receipts of hogs at the ecven lead- Ingiwestern points started provisions weak. ' .Therp""wa1j''n good cash demand , however , nnd. that , along with the strength of the grains , ' liltlmntely turned the 'markets ' Btrohg nnd the-early , loss -was ; moro than recovered. \ January pork began 5 cents lower' tit $ ?

Activity III Trading in Conflncil to tlic IiiiliiNtrlul SiieclaltleM. NEW YORK , Oct. 11. The. bears had hard work to make n living in today's market , notwithstanding great diligence nnd perseverance. The majority of the standard stocks offered a very flrm re sistance to the efforts to effect u reaction and tne number of stocks In which any notable price movement could be obtained was very small. The Industrial specialties were tne only stocks on the list that showed any disposition to move widely nnd the movement of these was with tun "mystcrlon" In the exchange lingo. It was a. room traders' market and the motives which Impelled thcsu gentry to sell nnd buy stocks would probably oe beyond the. umnltlat d to fnthum. For Instance , it was ascertained by some occult reasoning or Information that the recent borrowing demand tor Sugar certifi cates was for account of sellers of long stock who wished to conceal their opera tion and. not at all , as would naturally be supposed , of the bears who had sold short nnd had to borrow stock for delivery. A fall in the borrowing premium of the certificates because tne Kellers had re turned tne , borrowings served to disclose this wily proceeding to the short turn stock gamblers and they hastened to put out short lines of Sugar with a resulting fall In the price of nearly two points. Later In tne day these sapient speculators bought back what they had sold. The. reason ad duced tor selling the Rubber stocks was a report that a recently discovered substitute for rubber was about to be exploited oy anew now corporation. Tobacco ranged over nearly six points with no news to account for It. Thei coalers , which are a perpetual target for bear hammering , were raided clown from 1 to 2 per cent on the general depression In tne Anthracite Industry and otner specialties were subjects of In dividual treatment. These maneuvers of the professional bears had astonishingly little influence on railroad stocks. The demand for these , se curities was ) of what might be culled in finitesimal proportions and there was no disposition to sell. The statement of fat. Paul snowing an Increase In earnings for the first week In October of over $119,000 as compared with the corresponding week last year was a sustaining factor all througn the list. There was a subsidence also of apprehension over Anglo-French relations. 1-rench rentes rose sharply. There was. easing of the money rate In Berlin , though the pressure from that source upon the London money market caused a hardening In the discount rate there and n further fall In consols. A fall of 1-64 In the price of Kansas & Texas preferred In thu face of good traffic return for the llrst week in October was unexplained , as was tno na- vance of over a point In the price of Kan sas City , Plttsburg & Gulf on an active demand. The bond market was dull and easier with the exception of a few of the gilt- edge issues , lotnl sales , lB75OuO. Govern ment bonds were unchanged in the bid price. There were sales of the 3s , coupon , at 1055-8. The Evening Post's London financial ca blegram says : It wns nn Idle , dny In the stock markets here , business being checked by the progress of the settlement and by the uncertainty as to a change In the Bank of England rate on Thursday. The settle ment shows a small account , but the rates were higher because of dearer money. Contangoes on Americans were 4iS14'/4 per cent , but the rate on Central Paclllc nnd on Ht. Paul was exceptionally light. The tone of Americans was dull from start to finish. South American stocks ulono were distinctly good here today on the rise In Brazil exchange , and on the. fall of the Argentine gold premium. Germany buying of gold has slackened and New York and Russia are the chief buyerw now. The Paris market Is much exercised over the question of gold shipments to the United fatates. There was a rise In sterling both at Paris and at Berlin , bui the strength In Berlin exchange Is due to "covering" purposes by Germany on a large mass of maturing bills which London will not re new. Spanish exchange Is also strong both on the rise on London discounts and on the advance of the Madrid gold premium.

There was a pretty good showing of nil kinds of cattle today , cornfeds ns well as grassers , and the market as a whole was In very satisfactory condition. The general trade was nctlve , 'and practically every thing on sale changed hands early In the mornlnc. The market on beef cattle was 'strong and active and buyers all seemed to want supplies , so that sellers did not meet with any difficulty in unloading. So far this week and during a considerable proportion of last week the arrivals of beef cattle have been unequal to the demand , ana that has rendered the market active nnd stron" . Cows and heifers were In moderate supply nnd good demand , and the movement was reasonably active at fully steady prices. Very few veal calves ar& arriving , and good ones would bring J6.506.75. The stocker nnd feeder market was stronger , or 5110c higher than the close of last week. Yesterday's good country demand cleared the yards of all surplus cattle , and as the fresh arrivals were not excessive this morning the feeling wixa very strong. < At the same time there were a good , ' many outslda buyers In the yards , which 'gave additional strength to the trade. The result was that everyone was looking' for cattle , and the fresh receipts were mostly all sold In good season. The market Is now 15 < 820c higher than thft low day last week , and It Is safe to Buy that last week's decline on the good and medium kinds Is practically wiped out. Common kinds have not Improved quite so rapidly and they are hardly back to where they were before the break. Representative sales : STEERS. No. Av. Pr. No. Av. Pr. No. Av.

The fact that the receipts do not run very high nt this point , even with this market relatively high , as compared with with other markets , would sosm to Indicate that the growers In this section are not ready to part with many hogs at current prices. The market this morning opened 6fnOc lower under the Influence of the reported break nt Chicago , thnt is ICc lower than yesterday - terday morning nnd 6c lower than yester day's close. A few lands of both heavy nnd light weights sold curly at $3.60 , with a choice light load at J3.C21J , but the popular price for the general run of the hogs wns (3.55. The demnnd wns good but sJllora were n little slow to accept prices offered , nnd for thnt reason the movement was not very active. Still the hogs kept selling and the early nrrlvnls were nil cleaned up In fairly good season. It will be noted from the representative sales given below that thn popular price today was J5.55 , while yesterday J3.GOS3.65 took the hogs. Repre sentative sales : No. Av. Sh. Pr. No. Av. Rh.

A good many of the sheep did not arrive until Into In the morning , and ns most of them were mixed sluff there had to be a good deal of sorting done , nnd It was late before many bunches were ready to bo shown. Quito a number of the offerings were hardly fat enough for kill ers , and still most too good for feeders , so that they were not especially deslrabio for any purpose. The result wns thnt tlio market was late In opening and slow , al though buyers claimed to be In need of supplies. Values were not materially changed nnd the market could host bo de scribed as slow , but steady.

The absence of mall orders. ; therefore , played no small part In the cur rent stagnation. Buyers were not numer ous In the market. th largo number in town yesterday having dwindled consider ably today. There wns little of note on the woolen goods. The market for cottoii goods was quiet.
