CHICAGO , Oct. 12. Heavy realizing tales
during the last hour of tlio scslon today
overcame nn avalanche of bullish news
fiom nil directions and caused a decided
slump In wheat. December , after an ad-
viince of 7-8c , closed YM3-Sa lower. Corn
left off unchanged. Oats lost Ic. Pork ad
vanced 7iic , lard declined 2'/ic ' and ribs are
up 2 < 4c.
Opening transactions In wheat were on n
larger scale than the pit has seen In n
month. The strength at Liverpool and the
enormous cash grain business dona hero
were the all-Important considerations. The
Liverpool advance was nearly twlco UH
great as the rally hero yesterday and tha
neaboard started by reporting further large
export engagements , lleforo the opening
crush had subsided the trade was apprised
of llfty boat loads. To add to the strength
which the market displayed there wcro
English cables reporting It probable that
Itutwia would prohibit exports of cereals.
Though these were promptly denied the
trade had plenty of other bullish news to
Htlmulato It on the buying side. Minne
apolis put her rales of Hour yesterday at
333,000 barrels , liroomliull cables that the
Australian crop had been damaged by
drouth and there was wet weather In the
northwest , which promised to cut off to
nome extent the arrivals In that quarter.
With all of this the temper of the trade
was skeptical. Some of the Important In
terests hero seemed ranged on the Helling
Bide and there was fairly free selling from
St. Louis. Local exporters were bearish
and claimed that the advance hero hud car
ried them out of line so far as exports from
Chicago were concerned. The actual clear
ings for the day were 477,000 bushels * .
Primary market receipts wcro 1.072,000
bushels , against 1,357,000 bushels n year ago.
Arrivals hero wcro 159 cars , against 103 last
year , and Minneapolis and Duluth received
3,135 carloads , an compared with 1,010 last
week and 920 a year ago. Though sales of
December wcro made early around 638 >
Co 3-Sc , an advance of last night's close of
3-8-ic , there was a backset to Gl D-iftGS&c
before noon. Directly after that time re-
liorts of 00 loads of wheat and 87 of corn
for export taken at Now York started the
prlco up to 62.1-Sc again. The weekly as
well as the dally calls wcro In this vicinity
and courlderablo opposition was experi
enced. During the closing , however , the
reports of export business at New York
were swelled to 100 loads of corn. The re
sulting excitement was Intense enough to
carry December wheat up to 65 4c , where
It was mot by the offerings of numerous
jicoplo who had good profits and were willIng -
Ing to take them. Though the New York
ntorles were supplemented with reports of
150,000 bushels of cash wheat and over
1,000,000 bushels of cash corn disposed of
here , It did not lighten the load of those
on whom the property had been dumped.
And In their efforts to shift the weight the
market was slumped down to r.4',4o for De
cember and the close was GIUOG13-8c. An
other depressing feature near the close was
a uscllne of IHc per bushel at Buda Pest
today and 3 c In the past three days.
An enormous export business and higher
cables caused a strong feeling In corn at
the opening. There was a temporary weak
spot early , however , on account of very
liberal sales by those who had prollta In
night. New York reported thirty boat
loads engaged for export before the open
ing here and this total was swelled to 113
loads In the course of the day. That threw
the old bull crowd Into the breach and
speedily developed a strong market , which
continued until wheat came to disaster ,
when corn traversed the same road. De
cember began l-SS'S-So higher at SOB-SOT
307-Sc , declined to 30',4c , advanced to 307-S
( i.31c , then reacted to 30\4c \ , the closing
llgure. ,
A scattered demand from scalpers and
nhorts Improved oate early. December was
comparatively very much stronger than
May , the spread being narrowed by 3-Ec.
There was a good shipping demand and
ivnsh prices showed as much' of an advance
iiii did December. The market finally
ylcldcd , however , with the slump In wheat.
'Ilprolpts ' wcro' 274 cars. May opened un
changed to l-8c higher at 23 t-8(523V4c. ( rose
to 233-8c , then fell oft to 23c at the close.
Mora reaHsurlng news from the south and
inn advance In the price of hogs at the
yards strengthened provisions at the start.
There were largo receipts of hogs at the
principal western points and "some disposi
tion on thn part of packers to sell , but
prices were advanced on heavy buying of
VIbs by houses with European connections.
Near the end , however , the market felt
the decline In wheat and the advance was
nearly nil lost. January pork started un-
'changed at $8.97. declined to $ S.92Vfe , then
rose to $9.10 and settled back to $0.0214 at
the close. The range In lord and ribs was
11J3sUmated. . receipts for Thursday : Wheat.

COIIIPH to Siirfnpp nnil llpnrn Cover.
NEW YORK , Oct. 12.-Tho undertone ot
strength which has been manifest for sev
eral days assumed the upper hand In the
stock market todny , Ignoring the continued
weakness In some of ths specialties and
driving the bears to cover , thus putting
an end to the decline In porno of these
stocks. Buying to cover short contracts
played no small part In the rlso nil through
the list. It was not the result of nn
awakened public Interest In the market but
was rather by capltallstn or groups of
llnnnclcrs Interested In this or that prop
erty , according to Inside support.
H was Rolling by Insiders' Influence that
sent Northern Pacific down last week and
sympathetically affected the railway list
generally. Today's sharp recovery In
Northern Pacific , which extended to 1 3-4 ,
was therefore n great relief. There wax
conspicuous buying also In Union Paclllc
preferred , the grangers and .some of the
southern and southwestern roads , the net
gains for many stocks reaching a point.
Kansas & Texas preferred was a con
spicuous exception with n net loss of
nearly a point. The speculation In- Sugar
and Tobacco continued active and feverish ,
and the market on these dominant special
ties was dominating. While Tobacco broke
4 5-8 In the early trading. Sugar made a
sharp recovery of Its recent decline , and
whllo Tobacco rallied nearly to last night's
close In the late dealings the gain In' Sugar
was more than wlpd out. There was a
striking movement In such gilt-edged Is
sues as Chicago & Alton , Great Northern
and St. Paul preferred.
There was no conspicuous development In
the general situation to account for the
change In Wall street , unless It might bo
the continued demand for cereals and the
advancing prices for them In foreign
markets. Money conditions In London were
slightly easier , which brought some buying
for London account , and there was an np-
preclable Increase of the supply of surplus
capital here. Thn closing of the market
showed quite a llrm tone In spite of weak
ness In one or two Instances.
Railroad bonds Improved In sympathy
with stocks and closed generally higher.
Sales , $2,030,000. United States old 4s , regis
tered , declined U bid price. Others were
unchanged.
The Evening Post's London financial ca
blegram says : The stock markets hero
opened steady today , but /julckly gave way
from lack of support and the tone gener
ally closed dull and lifeless. Americans
wcro exceptionally good on New York buy
ing and prices closed quiet at the best.
Kafllrs were easier on German realization ! ) .
Insurance risks on securities are reported
nt Lloyds against war with France at 10
guineas per cent to the end of the year.
These are really nothing bnt a few betting
transactions and Lloyds were so mistaken
In their view as to the outbreak of the
Spanish-American war that they are now
Inclined to quote high rates. French and
German exchange on London Is still rising ,
London discounts nro easier , opinion ? as to
the Bank of England's action on Its official
rate tomorrow being evenly divided.

CATTLE There wore quite a good many
cattle hero today , but not many good
cattlu of any kind. The market us a whole
was fairly active and most everything In
the yards sold early. Buyers all seemed In
noea of supplies and the trade opened up
in good season In splto of the fact that a
good many cattle were reported back.
Only a few loads of cornfod cattle weru
offered and they sold early at gooJ , llrm
prices. The demand for grass bo-sf was
also active and everything that was any
good sold readily at strong prices. Ite-
celvers of fat cattle , either grass or corn-
fed , experienced no trouble In disposing
of everything at very satisfactory prices.
Cows and helfcra were in moderate supply
and under the Influence of a good buying
demand everything changed hands In good
season. The prices paid for all kinds of
butchers' stock was Just about steady.
There were not many desirable feeders
or stockers In the yards and buyers wcro
not long In clearing the yards ot all good
cattle of that description. The market
was fully steady , or oven strong , on the
most attractive kinds. Later on , after
buylns was pretty well filled up. some re
ceivers of late cattle complained that the
market was closing up slow. Hepresenta-
