Weak cables am enormous export Bales were the contendlm factors In wheat today. An unexpected de cllno at Liverpool caused a weak and lowei market hero during the morning , but sea' ' liourd reports showing record-breaking en cageinents for export resulted In a recovers of the early dccllno nnd about tte besides Corn followed wheat and closed 'i'l/S-Si higher. Oats clo d unchanged. Provision ; were weak early , but recovered and closci 71ifll2',4o higher. Much to the surprise of ti largo portlot of the grain trade , the Liverpool markei opened at a decline over night ot % tl nni closed at a loss of 1 n-S1JHd from yesterday'i Jlnal figures. The result was a decldedlj ivcak opening here. December starlcd will jilenty of sellers nt 6IUQ6I3-SC , comparet with yesterday's closing prlco of Cl 7-8c This was practically at the "put" price , nni i good deal of buying was done by holder : of those privileges. Outside of the demaiu fioin this source , however , there was little nupport given the market , and a still fur thcr decllno occurred. December dually get , ting down to Glo. After thu llrst few mln wti-81 actlvlly there was a long period ol dullness. The recent decision ot the Treasury de partment In regard to the tux on Hoard ol Trade iranfncllons kept scalpers out of UK market almost altogether and not until neai Jioon did trade broaden out. Northwest advices were bearish. Minne apolis and Duluth recclpls were 1,214 cars compared with 1,072 a year ago. Cash whom in the northwest was lo lower.

Jblo of about 2,000.000 bu. was indicated After noon the market became quite actlv < and Htrong. Reports from the seaboan iihowcd very heavy export engagements , tin llgures ranging all thu way from seventy U J50 boatloads. This Indication that foreign' ITS were taking advantage ot the decline t < mitlsfy their wants started shorts on tin run. The prlco got up to 61 5-SftCic verj pjlckly , and though at this llgure offering ! vcre very free , the prlco continued to ad , vance until near the close , all classes 01 buyers coming Into the market. A tun came after the December prlco had beei boosted to flSViffCuS-Sc , realizing sales send Jng the price back to CSftCSl-Sc just befon Iho close. This was the prlco bid as the closing bell rang. There was a fairly active trade In corn The market early was weak , sympatblzlnf with the decllno In wheat to some cxten nnd being inllucnccd by a decline In cables The break developed u splendid local casl demand and export clearings ran up tt 771,000 bu.

NEW YORK , Oct. 14. The local stocli market overcame successively the opening depression rellected from the earlier trans actions on foreign exchanges ami the un settling effect of early weakness In fomo ol the Industrials. A relapse later In tlm Ua > In u rather extended list of specialties pul a si3i to the upward movement uf tin market and brought trading In the genera ! list almost to a standstill. The. list , ol storks traded In was largely curtailed am activity much diminished oven In the stock. which lead the decline. The relapse car ried prices for the most part a fraction below - low last night's close. Sugar. Tobacco Manhattan , Brooklyn Transit , Metropolltat Street Railway and St. Paul , the latter tin only active railway stock , were all center ! of weaknoss. Some southern and southwestern - western railways were conspicuously llrm the belated movement of cotton serving ti Improvi ) their earnings. None of the largo spceulatlvo Interest ! which tpok the lead In yesterday's mnrkcl were at nil prominent today. There was r disposition to take rather more account 01 the depressed condition of foreign marked with the growth of a conviction that tlu money situation In Berlin and the rcsultanl effect on other financial centers Is more responsible for the deprefslon than politi cal questions. The problem of the Interna tional exchanges seems to have resolved It self Into u question of how to shift tin pressure of credit balances In favor of th < United States. Today's additional small en gagement of gold for Import Is slgnltloant In view of the high money rates pruvallliu In Europe. It Is a fact that money Is cheaper In Now York than In any othei great llnanclu ! center excepting posslblj Paris. Yet tin- heavy demand for export o ! our wheat and coarse grains continued to day. Ocean freights are strong , not onlj for present , but future shipment ; * , and then are large offerings of exchange In the mar ket for future delivery said to bo ngalnsi grain engagements for November and De cember and even Into January. There Is no room for surprise In view 01 the preliminary statement of the forelgi trade given out today at Washington showIng - Ing an excess of merchandise exports ovei Imports of over $42,000,000 over the action 01 the Bank of England in advancing the mln Irmim discount rate to 4 per cent , and It borrowing from the market in order ti make that rate effective and In so doing ti secure control of International exchange ! with a view of protecting specie reserve It Is evident that the pressure of this conn try's credit upon the old world's inane ] markets Is destined to Increase In the neai .future. There were continued evidences of In i vestment demand for high grade bonds ai well ns stocks.

The print cloth situation was ex tensively discussed by all cotton goods men and this took the place of etforts to sell goods. Mall orders were fairly numerous , but buyers were few today , The threatening weather had somothlnu to do with keeping buyers from nearby places out of the city , but In the main It Is believed there will be little ni-order- Ing before really- cold weather sets In , In staple cottons a quiet market was re ported.
