CHICAGO , Oct. 23-War or no war he-
twcen England and Franco was ths para
mount situation In tin- pita today and the
K'neral belief that u pearfablo solution of
iho difficulties were moro clearly In vlow
than could be boltuvcd yesterday. A decllno
resulted , amounting to "c u bu. In Decetn-
1 > ' r wheat , ' .iQj-Sc In corn , Ufl3-Se in oats.

Kngllsh consols were again lower ut the
rtart and the Liverpool wheat market
opened excitedly higher. The logical result
if that by Itself should have been a wild
Bcrnmblo for wheat here and a much more
irat-rial rise In prices than occurred the
lay before. Wheat speculators had , how *
vcr , to take account of many things that
wore not paraded In view of the multitude
und It was due to some of those obscure
Influences that a severe decline In prlc > s
that Inaugurated the Jny's business was
jiot so Illogical as appeared upon the sur
fer c Many of the active traders have
Irnded Uumselvas recently with wheat at
what they consider a dangerously high llg-
Tire If peace were assured. People who
) : .id bought heavily because they thought
lugh figures w-re Imminent lUtened to the
vhisponngs nf a probable peaceful settle
ment of the Fashoda dllllcully nnd hastened
to rid themselves of their war-priced
wheat. Kngllsh consols later In the day
r-covorcd their early decline. This wan
liallcd as the harbinger of peace and helped
to bring out moro long wheat , and even
Kern > from the more careful short sellers.
Chicago receipts were 302 cars , compared
with 104 cars last year , while. Minneapolis
nnd Utiluth got 1,012 cars , against 9J7 cars
the year before. Atlantic port clearances
Mere equal ! n wheat and flour to 725fiOD bu.
The weak feeling that had prevailed in
the market during the llrst part of the sos-
Mon was arrested for a time by a report
lioin New Vork that 130 boatloads of wheat
Jiiid been ( -old for export. Traders , as a
rul . hero were not disposed to bollovo In
umli a heavy business , however , nnd
pointed to the easier tone In both Inke and
orean freights as opposed to its probability ,
rtrndstreet's report of the world's vlsblle
Hhowed only 21,000 bu. Increase on the oust
-ldo of the Rockies. That was disappoint
ing to the boars and the market rallied a
little on It , but a heavy tone to closing
cabl-grams and largo primary receipts ,
with a. growing Impression that I'arls was
rjght when It wired that th American mar
kets were unduly excited , continued tn
\Miy the fluctuations. December opened
J'lffjl S-VG down at 69gG9 > , U' , declined to

to CS8c and clos = d nt GStifijGSSo. .
Corn was easy and would , of UH own
volition , apparently , have remained im
movable , but It was forced to adopt a
( ' ' wnwnrd course. The result of lowet
jirlccs for carriage and n decline In prices
of the grain was the taking of quit *
Ji 'aw amount for export. Receipts were
moderate , 107 cars. The market firmed uj
R trifle near the close on country pur-
t hoses. December started at SIHTfSl'Jc ,
weakened to 32c , then Improved to 32 1-Sft
82H" ' , sllerr , the closing llgures.
Oats ruled weak with the sflllng of Ipnp
jiroperty by a prominent scalper , the fea
ture. This caused a heavy feeling and II
did not require much assistance from the
declining wheat and corn to cause prlcct
1 fall off. Receipts worn only 202 cars
the movement being curtailed by bar
weather. May lugan at 2l'ifj"2l E-Sc , do-

NEW YORK , Oct. 25.-The periodical set-
tlemptit on the London Stock exchange to
day developed a very dull state of fedlnp ;
In the tlnandal mirkets , duo to the adverse
cond.tlons of thu motuy market aud to the
threatening political outlook. The very
high loaning rates precipitated quite nn ac
tive liquidation and a squeeze In money
rate's. Ihe uneasiness In London was re
flected on other markets In Europe and
there was u general rise. In the rates of
exchange on London and In the discount
rates at all continental centers.
British consols dropped a full point ana
nil other Hei-urltics , Including American
railroads , showed violent declines. The an
nouncement of the postponement of thn
British Cabinet meeting brought some re.
lief and the bears were actively covering
In London about the time the stock mar
ket In New York opened. There were very
largo and supporting orders In thr- market
here al the opening , FO that the decline In
prices at thai lime on account of the soil ,
ing for London account were trilling and
were soon overcome. Selling for London
account was In fact , i small factor nnd be-
tore the arbitrage trading was concluded
for the day , London turned buyer aim
took a fair amount of stocks In this mar-
kel. Consols there recorded nlmosl a full
recovery and Ihe upward movement In
other depiirlmcnls was almost ns violent.
Relieved from thai depressing Influence ,
prices here mounted upward quite easily ,
the snort contracts put out In yesterday H
market being generally covered , and the
largo bull operators who led last week e
buying resum.ng iho movement with great
apparent confidence. The trading was dull
In the latler part of the day , but prices
were llrmly held and clos.d ( it about the
best. Net gains In many Instances reached
a point or over , the prices entirely retriev
ing : yesterday s large decline. Tobaecn
was furiously active all day nnd covered
an extreme range of over seven points.
The price was lowered In the morning on
the announcement of the Incorporation ol
n , now tobacco company with n latge cap
ital. But traders distrusted the llrst Intei-
pretatlon of this company , and the pricewap
run up on very large transactions. Sugar

The sterling exchange market was an
accurate barometer of Ihe cours" of affairs
In London. Demand slerllng made an up
ward bound of Vze during the early ex-
cllemcnl In London nnd while stocks were
still being sold here for London account ,
with the relief of the nervous ten
sion In London and with some buying
here for London account , demand sler-
ling suddenly dropped a full cent , closins
weak. Notwithstanding this violent os = cll-
Intlon in the price of credits ot London ,
there was a ripple. In the local money mar
ket , which continued quiet and easy.

The Evening Post's London financial ca
blegram says : Politics and some restric
tion in bunking facilities In connectlor
with the stock exchange settlement caused
u gloomy opening In the stock markets
here today. After the carryover was ar
ranged prices rallied considerably , con
sols recovering to over 10 ! . Ncrvousnes"
again overtook tlm markets , however , am :
on the resignation of the French mlnlstei
of war prices gave way and the close was
; distinctly dull. Money rates nt the settle'
' ment were dear. For the three or foui
' settlements past arbitrage houses him
been free taKers of American stocks , mil
recently liquidation has consldernblj

Thu disposition of the day's receipts was
as follows , each buyer purchasing the
number ot head Indicated :
CATTLE The rariy arrivals were not
largo , but later trains kept arriving all the
morning , until tin- total receipts tooted tip
a goodly number , aa compared with previ
ous weeks. As has been the cas ° on most
days of late , a large proportion of all the
cattle hero were grass westerns of a quality
not good enough for beef. The early ad
vices from t hlcago and Kansas City Indi
cated large rctelptn and lower markets , and
the disposition among buyers here was to
lorco values downward.
Cornfed cattle Imv * suffered the most in
eastern marketr. , und buyers seemed to
have made up their minds to gain some
thing like a corresponding concession here.
The rrault was that the market was slow
and lower , many cases all of lc lower , with
heavy cattle on the coarse.sh order the
worst sufferers. There were some pretty
fair cattle among the offorliiRS , hut the
bulk was of the knd : that Is selling at
about $1.70 4.50. Good grass w-sterns were
not In vu'y largo supply , und as the de
mand was good for that kind , values did
not show any material change.
The market on COWH and betters was slow
and weak under the lulhiencf of n lowei
fat cattle market , nnd buyers started out
talking that the market snould be lower.
Sellers were Inclined to hold for steady
prices , and It took considerable time to
elteet n clearance.
In the feeder division the conditions were
not to the advantage of the sellers. Regu
lar yard operators bought a good many
cattle yesterday , while the expected coun
try demand did not materialize , so that
they still had a good many cattle held
over from yesterday. The teollnjv among
all the buyers seemed to be one of caution ,
and there was a very evident purpouc
among them to go slow. The result WHS
that the general feeder trade was very
slow all the morning. Sellers were gen
erally pricing their holdings strong , nnd ,
wh.lo buyers paid in some cases fully
steady prices for right good cattle that
happened to please them , the market on
the general run of cattle was JOc lower.

lions At thu opening of the market
there wen' only forty-live cnrs of hogs In
the yards , with something like twenty-live
or thirty cars reported Imtk. Jt was n
light run for a Tuesday , though about the
same tin u week ago. It will bo noted
fniin the tabliof receipts nt the head of
the loliimn tlmt the arrival * for the two
days this week are unusually small ns
compared w'th ' previous week * .
Advices from other selllnc points were
fi\r from favorable to the selling Interests.
Chicago nnd Kansas City both reported
large runs ami lower markets , which would
naturally have considerable Influence upon
the tr.ide here. The receipts , however ,
wore so small and the demand so Rood that
Instead of being lower , the market here
was a shade to So h'gher and reasonably
nrilve at the advance. Tin- early arrivals
wcro nil sold and weighed up at an early
hour. Ilnivy hois sold nt $ .i.ri7''iftn.M ;
medium weights at $ .1 u , i . ii2 > , largely , and
good llvht and butclier weights at J.1.V ( > .
The later trains did not fare so well , an
the more- urgent orders \vtr > ' llllnl out of
the early reivlpts. and reports from other
markets mailo buyers we.ik. The market
closed very slow and wean with all the
morning's advance lost. On the tlnal wind
up good loads sold nt J3 f . which was. lr
anything , lower than yesterday. Repre
sentative Hiil M.
than for some Urn ? past , and tlie market
a < a whole wan in very fair condition , not.
withstanding the fuel that all other mar-
ets were rcportfd lower. Out of the num
ber reported ut the yards were seven loads
consigned direct to. a packer , so that the
actual offerings on the market wire fat
from large. Local packers all wanted sup
plies nnd th desirable kind of mutlo.i
sheep and lambs were not long In chanslnq
hands. All the eiirly arrivals were woli ]
and weight d up at nil early hour. Good
yearlings brought $1.15 , and sheep nnd yearlings -
lings mixed $4.25 , wethers $1.30.
There was about the ti.-ual Inquiry foi
feeding stock nnd the market on tlmt kind
did not show much change In any respect.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 25. Hoary Morris ,
consul at Ghent , has furnished to the State
department as a matter of information .1
translation of a report made by the Belgian
consul at Manila on the export trade of the
Philippines during 1SH7.
During that year there was a great In
crease in the export trade , notivlthstauillnR
the rebellion , the export of' hemp alone
amounting to nearly 44,000 pounds ; copra
extracts made nearly 48,000,000 pounds , al
though the business only dates from 1S92 ,
prior to which time almost all tbo copra
came from the Carolines. The exports of
sugar by Manila decreased nearly S2JDO,000 (
pounds , but at Cobu the contriry was the
eae , and In the Vlzayas and Xcjro3 island
the product of sugar was greatly developed.
The export of sugars fell off from 1 ! > I,13',000 '
in ISOC to lCa.465,000 In 1807. China and
Japan imported moro of these sugars than
any other country , and only a very
proportion came to the United States.
