C1IICACJO. Oct. 27. Disappointingly small
export tr-ulo today dissipated nit early
hhoxv of strength In wheat. December lft l
off at ilecllnc. Corn advanced Uc.
xvaw unchanged and pork closed 7',4u
lower.
Wheat started tame and during the early
part of the day had nothing to Htlr It
Into more than moderate activity , llow-
ovcr , the firmness of the cauli markets In
the northxvest and a recovery at Liver
pool resulting In 'id ndvanru fur the day
Imhucd the crowd hero with u desire for
the buying side. They accordingly pursued
a bull polloy during the. forenoon , but In a
conservative way taking inodrrato quantl-
lies on the soft spots. English consols
opened D-IG per cent higher and made a
further 1-S per runt advance , retaining nil
of It ut the rlosc. This peaceful Indication
about balanced smaller domestic receipts
and the closing firmness of the Liverpool
market. It was rnmorrd that Ilfty loads
of wheat had been taken at New York
for Europe. Hroomhall cabled that the
I > anublan countries hud not secured thn
Rood wheat crop credited to them rurller
In the season , saying It was now acknowl
edged to be 20 per cent below an average.
i 'hlcago receipts wre 300 cavs , against 1S5
expected. and .Minneapolis and Duluth ri1-
ixirtcd 760 cars , compared with W7 the
H.imfj day last week and 939 n year ago.
Primary western receipts were 1.2SS.OUO lin. ,
against 1.151,000 bu. the corresponding day
last year. Clearances from the principal
Atlantic ports were equal In wheat and
Hour to fKo.ooo bu. Paris reported a d- -
rllno In flour of from lOftSoc. The bulls
we.ike.ned near the end and bears persisted
In Belling on all hard spots. New York
telegrams did not come In near the close
an they have been doing nC Lite , with
. lalms of an Immense export business , but
reported only the lltty loadb rumored
arly In thn day. All that was capable of
being confirmed was twenty-two boatloads
of which Bcvniitccn were for Spall. . Uf-
cember opened Vic lower at d ! T-Sli t7c ! sell-
rs. declined to Gijfi-Sc , rallied to t'Wn 7 5-sc ,
then dropped buck near the end to near
Cii-V. and closed at that bid.
Light receipts and continued complaints
of the poor condition resulting from the
recent damp weather strengthened rorn.
Htrong cables were also a consideration ,
and the foreign demand for corn us re-
jiorted from the seaboard , was urgent.
Largo Interests favored the buying side
n nil prices shoued a good advance the
i.-rtatcr part of the day. The weak cloning
of thu wheat market , however , caused a
weakness In corn tind the advance was
nearly all lost. Hei'elplH were 204 cars.
December opened 1-Sc higher at 32Ui32 ( ! 3-Sc ,
declined to 32 l-8c , rose to 32 ft-StCKfti. ' . tln-n
weakened to 32 S-SfiSZ'&c buyers , the closing
lluure '
Oats \VTIB quiet , prices iKlng sustained by
the strength In corn and a good cash de
mand. Receipts were 1S5 cars. May began
u sbado lower at 21 3-Sc , declined to 21',4'ii
2.13-Sc , sold up to .MVifiSl 5-Sc , then reacted
to 243-S'ii244c ' lit. the close.
The heavy run of hogs was a depressing
feature In provisions and more , than bal-
nnced thi > excellence of the demand for
ineatn. The market ruled dull tbronghout
and the tendency of prices ngaln was
nllg.lMy downward. January pork opened
f > c lower at J9.07H. advanced to J9.li ) , then
declined to J9.05 sellers , the closing price.

Tiilinero nnil Simiir the l.cndri' ! * In
Point of ArlUltj.
NEW YORK , Oct. 27.-Thc stock market
showed a continuation of yesterday's
strength today and the speculative activity
broadened out considerably In addition.
There was not quite such u congestion of
trading In Tobacco nnd Sugar , although
those stocks continued to be the leaders In
point of activity. They were traded In
nearly nil day at a level below yesterday s
close , though each stock advanced slightly
above yesterday' * price for a brief lntrviu.
The buying of shorts , which caused yes
terday's rise In Sugar , left that stock weak
again , and thu extreme decline from the
high point was " 'J. A rally at th clo e
left the net loss 1J1. Tobacco was nmU'r
piec'tire on the supposition that the re-
K-ntly Incorporated company is destined
to be a powerful competitor , and on de
nials of accessions to the American com
pany of outside plug tobacco roinpnnle.-i.
The stock was at inti' time off 2-'i , but
clrscd with u small net gain.
In railroad securities the continued dull
ness nnd hesitation on foreign exchanges
were without effect. There was a large de
mand for quite an extensive list ot rail-
mad storks , the grangers leading with
l.retty much all the western and southwest
ern roads showing a good tone. The east
ern trunk lines continued to las on account
of the admittedly bad rate situation In that
territory , which nullllles the benellt of the
exceptionally largo tonnage which Is being
moved. St. Paul was the leader In tlu :
railroad list and the movement of the stork
wan suppo.aed to foreshadow a good Sep
tember statement , duo tomorrow. The
gloss increase of that period In earnings
Is known to lie well on toward $50ii,000 , and
it is surmised that the statement will show
a reduction In the recrnt heavy rate ? of
expenditures for Improvements charged to
operating expenses.
Tlie September statement of the Union
Paclllc , whllo showing a decrease of over
5llXiO ( In gross earnings , showed operating
expenses so largely reduced as to leave
an Increase In surplus earnings of $112,531.
The delayed movement of cotton now com
ing forward and the decrease of yellow
fever foreshadow good earnings for south
ern and southwestern railroad ? . The easier
tone today of sterling exchange was the
dltect result of the calmer feeling In
Paris.
There was a heavy demand for sterling
exchange here yesterday for Paris account ,
which sprang from the same cause which
lifted exchange on London In Paris
above the gold export point , namely , tin1
pressure to transfer funds front Paris to
London. It Is now known also that the
recovery In Uritlsh consols was partly due
to buying for account of timid Paris capi

altogether to the rillef of the Anglo-French

The Evening Post's London financial ca-
grarn says : "The cheerful tone in the stock
markets hero at the close yesterday was
maintained today. The rise was mo-it
marked In Americans and In Kulllrs. the
foirner closing quiet at tno best , chlelly on
New York support. The ono small failure
nt the settlement today Is of no signifi
cance , but the recovery In prices in timely ,
ns there arc some weak spots. Consols
closed under the best nnd should there be
any ren wal or political alarms there IP
now only a small bear account to support
prices. The best Informed operators in tit'1
city do not consider the Fushoda question
as settled yet. The very .sharp drop in
Paris exchange today is partly attributed
to the completion of payments due from
French Interests in connection with tin
Stock exchange settlement. Russian ex
change Is rising nnd sterling exchange at
Vienna also advanced today.

It Is becoming worse mid worst ever >
day instead of better. This morning when
the market opened there was less than halt
of the day's receipts In the yards , tno
balance being still back , with no Indication
whether It would reach the yards in time
for the day's market or not. For several
weeks there has been mor& or less trouble
from that cause , but it was expected that
the difficulty would soon be remedied. In
stead of that the trains are coming still
Inter. The railroad companies have now
fallen into the habit of letting anything and
everything Interfere with the running or

CATTLE The market opened with only
sixty cars of cattle In sight , but witli sixty-
eight reported back. As will be observed
from the table of receipts at head of
column , the Arrivals so far this werk have
fallen very much below the record of
previous weeks.
There were not far from eighteen loads
of cornfcd cattle In the yard , which was
not enough to Influence values either one
way or the other. Still , the fat cattle mar
ket at Chicago and Kansas City has been
In such bad shape that values here have
been going downward steadily. At the
present time It Is safe to say that medium
kinds of catttlo are all of 25c lower than
last week , and in some cases possibly 30c.
Buyers seem determined to get the market
down at ail points , and the trade is ac
cordingly slow and unsatisfactory. AccordIng -
Ing to all advices the market here is no
worse than at other selling points , In fact ,
If anything , cnttls are sellllng to better
advantage hero than on most any other
market. While cornfed cattle show such a
heavy djcllno for thn week grnsa cattle art
not much different from what they wcro at
the beginning of the week , as supplies ol
that kind have been email at all selling
points , while the demand has been good.
The cow market was lower yesterday , and
whllo it may have been nearly steady to.
day , U certainly was no higher. As hat
ben the case with cornffd steers , cows
and heifers have been going lower the lasl
few days , and the market Is now 15@25c
lower than last week.
Some fancy yearlings sold today at f3 ,
but that only shows what really choice
stuff will bring , and Is no criterion of tlu
market. The general trade on stockers and
feeders was very slow again today , will !
prices 13S25c lower than Inst week. During
the early part of th ? week speculators held
up the market OR well as they were able , as
a matter of self-protection , as they all had
a good many cattle on hand. As the wteli
draws to a. close they arc not likely tc
buy as freely and very llttlo life or strength
IK to bo exported In the trade. Rcpresfnta-

SHEEP Today s receipts were small us
compared with the large run of yesterday.
In fact the total for the week to date shows
a considerable falling off ns compared with
previous weeks. Advices from other sellIng -
Ing points were far from encouraging , as
early reports generally Indicated lower
values. Still the demand at this point was
of very fair proportions , and as tne offer
ings of desirable muttons were rather
small the market here was fully steady.
Some would say that the. market was a
llttlo stronger on the ground that some of
the same wethers that sold for ? 4.2o yester
day brought $1.3(1 ( today. Some pretty fair
lambs sold at $5.25 , and all thu desirable
killers wore , cleaned up In good season.
The market on feeders and stockers WHS
without notable change. It is a fact , how
ever , that s-onie of the common and trashy
stuff that is arriving IB not moving off
any too fast , but really desirable feeders
are good sellers at fully steady prices.
