LIVERPOOL WHEAT MARKET GOES TO SMASH JJrcrmbcr One and n fourth I.oiver , OnlN t l > , I'ork and Iaril I'nclianucil HIM ! Hllin ! ) ( - ollne TMO CViitn. CHICAGO , Oct. 20. Depression In foreign vrlicnt markets today nnd liberal domestic : r"cclpt rniised heavy liquidation here. Prices experienced n evero nelback. De- i ember closed 11-Sc lower ; corn Is tin- ihanged ; oats advanced 1-Sc ; pork nnd lard are unchanged nnd libs declined 2',4c. The curly Liverpool cables showed that the wheat market there had gone to smash , os December hud lost equal to 3 > 4d pet- bushel since yesterday's close. Paris wns nlso lower , while Urltlsh consol were trong nt an advance of 1-lfid. telling plainly thu ntory of improvement In. the political sltu- iitlon abroad. The opening prl-e of wheat iiere wns from 'i'fjlo n bushel lower for December than yesterday's closing quotu- ttonfl. Traders , however , liad n lurking apprehension - prehension that the foreign calm might bu f-nlv the pn-cursor of another storm. When , later In the heuilon. n further advance In on.iols wns announced nnd there was an iiddltlon of Id to the opening heavy de- llnu In wheat at Liverpool , the fueling hero bctamo more pronouncedly bearish nnd prices of wheat dropped through the bnrrlur of "puts" that had previously been Mopping the way. Domestic receipts wern < ilier.il in the aggregate , although ChlenKO got only 91 cars , against Wo expei led. . .Mm- neiipoliD nnd Duluth received 9Vi t-.irlomls. lornpiirtd with 1W the coriespondlng Hay u year ago. The total primary western rerelpls iimolltiled to lub7UUU bllsht iJ. 0-aInst 1.109.UOO bushels the corresponding t ! < i. last v > ur. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour were equal to SOl.i'lO bushels. The market ruled heavy the greater part of the session , but hud nu merous slight reactions duo to taking profits by shorts. New York reported somn iict-nptiinees of last night's otTern from this wide , notwithstnndlng the depression 111 the foreign mnrkets. Prices rallied In the last ten minutes , iluo largely to prudential purchases by shorts who had prollts. Various other rea- HOIIS were assigned , such as the taking of Homo wheat In New York for Uiisslan ship ment anil n report that a cargo had beou worked ut the seaboard for shipment to Aiistrhi. December opened 'ifale ' lower nt liT.jftCT's.c' , Improved lo fi5Mdeclined , to Gfi'ijjb'B ' o-be , then rnllk-d to C7 i-SliG7'/ie , the closing llgure. The weather cons.ldcrntlons developed n , decidedly llrm undertone In corn. Severe Htotms through the west restricted the In terior movement nnd ex cry where receipts were light , only fourteen ears being in- upectcd here. Continued wet weather nlso gave rise to a deal of talk of further dam age to the crop by rotting , as In many in stances the conditions were such that the gram could not be properly cared for. Thin i-ntlscd good buying for the Investment ne- I'ount by prominent professionals and as the offerings were limited prices were lorced up. A good cash business nlso helped to maintain better prices , but thn market finally yielded to the weakness In wheat nnd the advance was nearly all lost. Tin-ember began ' , i < % lower at 317-Sfi.12c , ml- Minced to 321 'fj32 ' 3-Sc. then reacted to 321-8 fj32'.ic ( , sellers , the closing price. Oats acted Independently , prices ruling Uglier on light offerings and scattered lni\lng by the crowd generally. There was a soft spot market early , but at no tlmo was them anv appreciative decline. Ke- idpts were lit ! cars. May opened l-Sl/'ic i > WIT at 21 l-Sji2I'ic , advanced to 1 4' ' , ' , ' 21 ft-se and closed at 21 3-St(2l'-.c. ( ' Provisions were barely steady.

NEW YORK , Oct. 2G.-Tho stock market showed a tendency to fall Into quietude again today , as though In sympathy with the dullncsM and uncertainty on foreign ex changes. But there was a fUlet | absorption of standard stocks ) all through the list. A generally llrm tone and market strength was noted In a tew cases , so that the nver- rigc oC prices Is quite materially lifted as u result of the day's tniding. The reactionary tendemy In the wheat market , thu falling oil In the exports for both wheat and corn nnd the woalcncM In the foreign grain markets was .ippar-ntly without effect. The ren-oii for the appar ently Illogical movements for the pm. few days obviously Is that the market is en- tliely in the hands of profesHlon.il traders without any participation by the outside public , ttheti this class sell It " , slmpiy w'lh ' a view to buying at a lower level und their maneuvers can only prove successful where they Induce u following to ti'le : tn poor end of the bargain. Wnero th've Is nc such following there Is nothing to do lull to retrace their course by selling or buying as the case may bo , the final op erations being made In opposition tn the culminating factor on which the specu lative commitment has been mad' ' . The exciting causes of the trader- : ' activities ut thu last few days having subsided , the mar ket became comparatively dull tod.iv and Ihu traders betook themselves to tn" Highly speculative industrials. Tobacco moved feverishly below jesterday's level nnd Sugar above , on large transactions , without any definable reason In either c.ue The recovery In sterling ixcliaiKO was due to the ( 'fleet of the renoived stringncv In the London money market cause.1 ly the needs of tomorrow's stock exchange settle ment. Exchange on Paris showed an easier tone , reflet ting the pressure for the move ment of InndH from that center , owlnir to I be threatening aspect of domestic poli tic n there. bonus were moderately active -u ndvuno luprices. .

There were j heavy dealings In the coupon 3s at 1C3 7 S.

Xrw York Dry ( iooil.H Market. NEW YORK , Oct. 26. The continuance of mall orders in fair qualities In the dry goods market has kept the average of sales up to a high standard. Dependence upon the coming of buyers into the market Is pre carious. Today , for Instance , the opera tions of this class , influenced no doubt by the unpleasant weather , were on a small basis. Nearby operators show no apodal activity. The mall orders arc now for larger amounts than has hitherto been the case. This Is true of cotton goods , the In terest in which has shown a d.stlnct gain since the new agreement has been signed by the Fall River print cloth manufac turers. In staple cottons there have been fairly heavy orders reported for brown goods In wide sheetings , standards ami drills. The converting trade is rcspons.blu for fairly heavy purchases.

While there wa ? a sprinkling of beef cattle the most of the cattle were stockers and feeders , with a goodly num ber of cows and heifers. The market on cornfed cattle was far from active , and whll ? It may not have been any lower than yesterday It was cer tainly no higher. The market was lower yesterday and on Monday , and it is safe to say that values on cornfeds are now 10ft20e lower than on last Friday. One bunch of very nice little cattle sold at $5.10. Oood grass beef was not much changed from yesterday's market , values on Hint kind bflng Just about steady. The offerIngs - Ings were small , somewhere In the neigh borhood of fifteen loads , so that the supply was not burdensome. Cows nnd heifers were In larger supply than for some lime hack , something like thirty loads being reported In the ynrds. Buyers seemed to feel that It was a good opportunity to force values down a little , so as to bring them In line with the way other kinds of cattle nre selling , and some of thenl announced right at the start that they would not buy anything unless they could get It lowr. The result was a slow market , with values SfilOo lower , with the decline the most marked oil the common kind ? . Veal calves were just about steady , and the same was true of bulls. D'slrablo stockers and feeders , or such rattle as happened to plenfe buyers , sold just ns well ns yesterday , but medium stuff was slow and weak , and common stuff.

A considerable proportion of the arrix.ils consisted of light lambs and there nan not after nil any great number of really des'rnlile muttons on sale. The marki't on good sheep opened just about steady , and all the early arrivals tiint uoiilil i onii under that head Fold early. Desirable and well fattened lambs were also steady , but so much of the receipts cainn mlxfd that a. good de.il of sorting wns required , and It was rather late b. fore some of the arrivals could be offered on that market , and besides that m.my of ( lie 1 rains were late In arriving , whlen ma.ltthe market slow and It was mid- tiny beforn many bunches were weighed up.
