The tact that many pco- jilo were overloaded acted as a damper on the market. This class was as a ruli. dis posed to sell on all haul spots. Lord KOMIN. licrry's warlike spui'di , advances of Vtf 11-isd at Liverpool , icported record-break ing sales of Hour at Minneapolis 18U.u ) bbls. , of which 10 per tent were for export . nil advance of lOr per bbl. In all leading grades of Hour , reported Hales of 2IO,0 ) liu. fash wheat here and reported continued export engagements at thu seaboard till contributed to the strength. After thn llrst hours trading the advance became too heavy for the market to sus tain. Sellers Wire encouraged l > y reports from New York that leading export houses iwcro selling wheat and that there were iici acceptances of offers to liu United Kingdom or the continent. Northwest re ceipts showed the effect of recent bad iwcathcr , Minneapolis and Duluth reporlliif ; h57 cars , compared with SCI tan/ last week nnd 781 a year ago. Chicago receipts , however - over , were heavy at 303 cars , and thu total at all primary points was l,6Ci,000 ! bushels. 'Tho market drifted baik to CU u before It became evident that the market had been oversold. Then prices Jumped very rapidly , and In their efforts to cover aborts ran the jirlccs back to C5c , and very llttlo reaction Irom that figure followed. New York re ported 72 boat loads engaged for export. The days seaboard clearances were large. 822,000 bushi-lH. Tills was quite Influential during the closing moments of the session. December closed llrm at Cl 7-8c. There was a big general trade In corn parly , and a good ndvnttcn was recorded. The market In a general way sympathized rwlth wheat , but was helped also by bullish rountry advances and largo export saljs. JtccPlpiK were Kft cars. The market weak ened somewhat later In the. day on realiz ing and .selling believed to bo for th ? ware housemen. That pressure removed , l o mar ket quieted nlown and was rather uull for the rent of the ncsslon. December ranged from SOHc to 307-Se , and closed 1-S'jjUe higher nt 305-Sf30 ( | Hc. Oats were strong all day on a limited tradingI'rlces were well maintained. Re ceipts wera small , 322 cars. The strength of wheat was the main factor. May ranged from 23 l-8 23'/iC to 23 3-8c , and closed 3-Sc higher at 233-8c. Provisions showed Improvement both In tone and in volume ot trading. Colder fweather In the south and belief that the rover would bo checked was an Incentive to buy and prices advanced all around.

Oct. 13.-Tho advance In prices in today's stock market was even moro slgnlllcant of the Improved tone ol speculative sentiment than that ot yester day. For one reason this was true bocnUM quite a large short Interest was eliminated from the market by yesterday's advance , Another factor that might have be = n util ized by thu bears was the depression In foreign markets so marked as to suggest some knowledge of pending political com plications In the dcpvr financial currents. Not only was this Indicated by the heavi ness of securities a call of 6-16 In British consols and of 15 centimes In 1 < rt-nch rentes but the cxclttd condition of the foreign wheat markets. The opening In Wall street brought orders to sell 15.000 shares or upwards of stock for London account. Thebears' did avail themselves of this opening , but the manner In which all offerings , botn for London ami tor iho snort accounts was absorbed took all thn assurance out of them and their only other aggressive movement during the remainder of the day was a drive aKiilnnt Tobacco. The bears huve > counted much on the damaging effects of the war in thu sugar refining industry , thu conflict over the plug tobacco trade and the reported divergence of Ideas among the powers of Northern Pacific over the question of a dividend on the common stock to check any advance In the market on account of very favorable returns ot railroad earnings and the generally prosperous outlook for busi ness. ' 1 he movenn nt of prices in securities gave warning of compromises und adjust ments and took away the mainstay of the bear movement. The process of covering of short con- true ts therefore proceeded en u largo scale nnd largo financial Inter-sts offered ug. grcsslvo support to the prices ot properties in which they were Interested. A signifi cant feature of the day's trading was the llivustm.nt demand for small lots of Kill- edged stocks. There were conspicuous movements of this sort In St. Paul pre ferred. Pullman , Great Northern preferred , Manitoba , Albany and SUitquehanua , St. Paul & Omaha preferred nnd Pennsylvania , The advance in Pullman. Manitoba and Great Northern preferred extended from ffiA to 44 per cent and Manitoba closed with a bid 7Vi per cent higher than last night. This buying Is a natural concomitant of the growing case In the money market. Call loans were made at 2 per cent today and there Is a constant Increase in the supply of money offfrlng both for ilnui loans and mereantlle paper. Short sterling was slightly firmer In tone In response to the advances In thei Bank of England rate. A small engagement of gold for export was without intlucnce on sentiment. The dny'a net gains equal a point for many stocks. The demand for high guide bonus was ? a reflection of the growing abundance of sur plus capital. Total sales , $2,0)5.009. IT. S. 3s , the old 4s , registered , and the new 4s ad vanced 'd In the bid price. The 3s. coupon , sold a * JOS , the highest yot. The Evening Post's London financial cable gram says : The stock markets here were stagnant today , being demoralized by the rise In the discount rate of the Bank of England from 3 to 4 per cent. This change In the rate surprised the market generally , It is believed that polities Is the present cause of the rise In the rate , but I have reason to believe that a more potent fac tor Is the endeavor to suppress a repetition of the growth of German llnanco blllB in this'market. If the bank rate hud not beer changed the open rates would have given way considerably. It Is also learned that the bank Is taking1 steps to make the pres ent rate effective by borrowing from the market until November 4 at 4 per cent. Tlu Americans were the only ones showing anj firm tendency today. The New York buyIng - Ing has given a general fill-up and prices closed quite at the best , Northern Pacllli being chiefly In fnvpr. The London dlS' count market was unsettleel at a sharp ad' vnncc. Continental discounts and exchange on London moved up. Spanish exchange or London Is lower at 38.25 against 39.20 lasi week.

Huycrs , however , wanted the cnttlo and did not wait for them to nil get In , but commenced on the early arrivals in good season , and the most of the cattle were soon sold. The market , as a whole , was In vtry satisfac tory condition as regards the selling Inter ests. ests.Tho supply of dressed beef steers , both cornfcds and grassers , was far from lar e , and as the demand was good , the market was reasonably active at llrm prices. Uuy- crs are complaining that the cattle are costIng - Ing them as much here as In Chicago , but there are not enough fat cattle coming to give them any opportunity to take off In price even if so disposed. Cows nnd heifers were In good fair sup ply , and the market was active and fully steady. Packers were all free buyers , and the pens were soon cleared. The most Interest was taken In stackers and feeders , as thcycomposedthebulkof the receipts. The yards yesterday and today were full of country buyers and speculators have been able to sell out to good advan tage. With both speculators and country buyers after the cattle holders of desirable jots did not find It at all difficult to unload and the bulk sold early. The prices paid were strong , and the market was entirely satisfactory to sellers. Representative sales : I1OQS Today's market opened up a little BtronRcr than yesterday , and. thouch It was not particularly active , owing to the reluctance of buyers to pay any moro for their uopts than yesterday. It held that way until about the close. Cholco heavy IIOKS sold as hlKli < > t J3.ro and KOOI ! light up to $3,70 , with a prime sort of lleht how at J3.70. The popular run o for good load of mixed hogx was J3.57V2ff3.CO , with Homo rough loads and pieces nt $1.55. Yesterday the hogs sold very largely at $3.55 , over half of all the hogs selling at that price. It will be noted from the table nt lira ? ) of column that the market averaged u llttlo better than yesterday. The market Is htlll a llttlo under what It was at thn opening of. the WCCK. but U Is 6c hlcher than U S1IEHP Thtre were plenty of sheep and lambs of alt kinds In the pens this morning. There WIIM also a good demand for all kinds so that there were none too many. Hepre- sentatives of local packers were all want- ling muttons , and the market opened early nnd the desirable lots * for the most part charged hands In good season. It was a good , active and steady market. Good lambs sold at $5.2&Qii.33 , and wethers and yearlings fold as high as $4.33.

Today the Indians arc holding a pew wow In the woods hack of the Lcoct Lake agency , at which It Is expected thoj will decide whether or not to glvo up th men wanted hy Marshal O'Connor. Upon this hangs the Issue of the whole matter. Tholr decision will bo comnjunlcn.te.il to another conference with the government ofllelals at the agency tomorrow. If they refuse , unrelenting war will bo waged by Oener.il Ilacon. who Is getting very tired of pow wows , but who nevertheless Is leav ing the present conduct of affairs entirely to Commissioner Jones. To whip the rebels Into subjection or to annihilate them will bo no easy task , even to on Indian fighter of General Uacon's resources. The hos- tlles arc well armed ; they are dead shots ami they know every Inch of a very dlmcult country. Experienced couriers declare that not enough troops can bo landed In Walker to capture the hostllcs. The dense Jungle of the woods Is penetrated by trails known only to the Indians , who would be able to use them and escape. The only feasible plans seems to bo to wait till the water courses freeze over and then make a win ter campaign with hunger and famine as allies. General Uacon has made his plans for the campaign that may bo necessary very carefully , and while bo realizes the obstacles In the way , ho Is confident they are not Insurmountable. WASHINGTON.

( Special. ) Arrangements have been completed for the erection of a 100-ton plant on the Copper King property In the Silver Crown district. The company has decided to use the Jackbon process. They have had eomo twenty-mltl runs made of the ore by ( his process , all of which were satisfactory and demonstrated that D5 per cent of the values In the ere could bo saved at a cost not to exceed f,1 per ton for treatment. The Copper King is an Immense body of low grade ore averaging about $11 per ton In gold , silver and copper. A large amount of development woik has been done and the extent'and value of the property have beou demonstrated beyond any question. It has always been appreciated that thers are some line properties In the Silver Crown district , and In view of the great success In treating low grade ores In Colorado and other western states , eastern men and Colorado rado men have been Investigating Silver Crown , making the above tests. Old timers and conservative mining men have great faith in Silver Crown. High grade ere has been found there In several claims and the erection of the plant will probably mean a revival In prospecting In Iho district and the opening up of Eomo good mines. Mr. Adams , who Is In Seattle from Klondike , will trrlvo In Cheyenne in a few days. He Is thu principal owner In the property mentioned. Colonel E. P. Snow bays that there is more than mere talk In the plant proposi tion nnd that ho was assured by Denver capitalists not only that ( he plant is to be erected but that It Is to bo erected at once. Flrnt lliirlnl of l\c Civil AVnr. SCOTLAND , S. D. , Oct. 13. ( Special. ) In speaking of military burials the other day Major Dollard remarked to the writer that he helped to bury the first man killed in the civil war. He then said : "Tho fellow belonged to company n nnd was poisoned on his way to the south on the oteamcr State of Maine , while lying In New York harbor on the night of the 18th of April , 1801. Ills name was Charles Del- lows. He died at C o'clock on the morning of the 10th , a few hours before the men of the Sixth Massachusetts were killed In thn streets of Baltimore. In the early dayn of the war It was often rumored that the sol diers were In danger of being poisoned through food , water , whisky or something of that kind , as nt ti later tlmo It was be lieved that certain localities where our troops were stationed were purposely In fected with smallpox and yellow fever us a means of war by the enemy. I don't know how much there was In cither of these views , but it was believed nt the time of [ tcllows * death that ho got hold of some poi soned liquor that was passed on board , by which a large number of other men were made sick but shortly after recovered. We burled Hollows Just outside the parapet of Fortress Monroe on the 20th of April1. 1861 , the same day , I believe , that Kobert E. Leo resigned his commission 1n the Uni od States irmy , before the news of the secession of Virginia had gone abroad and while the con- redcrnto Hag was Hying within reach of thn iuns of that fortress. The regular burying ground for the fort was about a mlle away , t > ut so strained were the relations between ' Mirsdvcs and our tiouthcrn brethren at that llmo that It was not considered advisable : o try to bury a Yankee soldier there then Later wo removed the ho.1y from Its tem- itirary resting place to the regular buryln ? : > lacc.
