CHICAGO , Nov. 4. When Russia's enor-
tnous wheat crop was olllclally announced
today the tirfrcnt foreign ilcmand nnd every-
Ihlng flie of a bullish nature dropped out
of sight and. prices dropped back to the
low point of the scsHlon. December tioftd
U'&S-So under last night's prices. Corn lost
B-Sc. Data declined ' ,4c. 1'ork nnd ribs re
mained unchanged und lard was u shade
lower.
The foreign news having nothing sue-
costlvo of war nnd French and English
Kovernmont securities bcliiK fractionally
Jilghcr at the opening , wheat started at a
decline ranging from 6-Su toVic. . That
brought the market Immediately unJer tne
Influence of puts nnd buying on the seru-
rlty afforded by those privileges was a fca-
turo of the early trading. Liverpool quota
tions came B-8d lower nnd a prlvito culle-
pram said there was nothing but a retail
demand for wheat In that market , rut
quoted the tfii'ling steady at the detilne.
Uroomhall reported Argentine crop pros
pects unchanged. As the last prevljua re
port stated that condltlona were favorable
tor a. good vlold the -3ritlno ns dttp-
encd the boarlth impression under wn'ch
business commenced. Northwest iei.t | > ts
xvere liberal , 1,012 loads , as compared wkh
S13 for llir > pamo day u year ago , and the
nrrlvnls hern were WJ cars , double that of
the corresponding day last year.
Heavy clearances from the seaboard and
n. report from Now York that name wheat
offered abroad last night had boon ac-
rpptcd worn about the only diversion In
favor of the bullo. Small offerings at Liv
erpool from Chicago were iilso taken. This
was not sulllulent to wako up the despond
ent bulls , however , and the bears were left
In control of n very small market during
the early trading. Later in the day fur
ther comfort was given the bulls , when
Chicago shippers reported having disposed
of a total of 415,000 bu. for export and New
York said BO to C5 boatloads had been
worked there and at outports. The day's
clearances of wheat and Hour from At
lantic ports amounted to 945,000 bu. About
llfttcn minutes from the close It was an
nounced olllclally from Hussln. that this
year's wheat crop was 120,000,000 bu. larger
than last year nnd that the rrop of rye
exceeded that of n your ago by IIS.OOO.COO
bu. That offset the effect of the big ohls > -
mcnts und prices dropped back near tno
low point for the day. December opened
C-S'Mio ' lower at Co-'iflCCc , sold at Co % ®
3 7-Sc , rose to CCUi1 , then declined to BBc ,
buyers , the closing price.
Increasing receipts and fine weather for
a further enlargement of the movement
from first hands burdened corn. There was
nlso an absence of foreign demand nnd
elevator people sola extensively. Receipts
were 551 cars. December begun J,4e lower
ut 32c , sold up to 321-Sc , then declined to
Bl 7-Sc buyers , the closing price.
Oats shared In the apathy which char
acterized other grains. There was some
Helling by oatmeal manufacturers , but
Jluc'tuatlons were of the narrowest kind.
Ilecelpts were 271 oars. Ulay started at
217-Sc , improved to 217-Sfi25c , then de
clined to 2lc buyers , the closing price.
Heavy buying of lard strengthened pro
visions early. Later , however , the advance
was lost on liquidation by prominent pack
ers. It was largely a changing market ,
traders covering December and selling Jan
uary. January pork opened 2'/ic up at $9.10 ,
declined to $9.05 , advanced to $9.15 , then re-
iicted to W.OT.i ! at the close. January lard
began 'Jhc higher at $5.03 , Bold off to $3.00 ,
rose to Jj.10 , then weakened . . to J5.02V4tj 5.05 ,
the closing ; llgure. January ribs started un-
changed at Jl.fi7"A , sold nt $ ! .G5 , UP to $1.70 ,
ithen back to $ l. ( < ii4.ri71i ( ut the close * .

NEW YORK. Nov. 4. There was some
flutter among the shorts In Sugar this

irogrcsscd so that the stock closed with n
let loss In spite of the dissemination of Iho
rumors thai the company was In a way to
secure the Louisiana crop also.
Tobacco also , allhough It rose In the early
ratling , dropped over 3 points before the
lose , which was a net decline of. 2 3-S.
The trading In iho specialties wfis hardly
ns active an of late and the Federal Steel
slocks were also rather neglected and In-
lined to heaviness. In the railroad list
hero wuro various points of aggressive
strength and a broadening tendency.
Tim division of business Is somewhat
equalized by the falling oft In activity In
ho grangers nnd I'aclllcs , especially the

not suffer n single quotallon until some

On the other hand there was n. notable

ZANESVILLE. O. . Nov.I. . A terrific ex
plosion at 10:15 : last night was heard
throughout the Ihree counties of Musk-
Ingum , Morgan and Guernsey. The shock
rocked buildings In this city like nn earth
quake. So far , however , all efforts to dls
cover whence the shock originated have
proved futile. That it was something other
than a quaking of the earth seems certain ,
from Iho very dlslant report like the firing ;
of a cannon , which preceded a long rever
berating rumble.

CATTLE The cattle receipts were the
smallest of any day since last Saturday
and ! not since the llrst week In the month
have so few cattle been received on a Fri
day. At the same tlmo there were a goon
many II I stale cattle In lirst hands In addi
tion I to the large number held by specu
lators.
Not far from twenty loads of cornfed
cattle ( were reported on sale , and , as the
demand was gcoi. ' , desirable lots changed
hands 1I 1 early at good , strong prices. Among
the 1I I offerings were IL few right good cattle
that I sold at $5.00ft5.10. Undesirable and
half-fat or rough sluff as n. matter of
course did not move off HO very readily ,
but 1 still the market as a whole was entlicly
satisfactory a. " regards the corn cattle.
There was also a good demand for grass
beef \ at fully steady prlcea. but the supply
was i small.
if Cows and hclfeis vero in such small
supply that there were nardly enough to
make i a test of the market. It Is safe to
say , however , that values were not ma
terially changed as compared with y-stcr-
day and the day before. There appeared
to be a. very fair demand for good killers ,
especially lor anything on the helferish
order that was fat and of good quality.
The situation in the feeder market was
rther peculiar , in that salesmen were dif
fering widely In their opinions. Ono seller
would report the market as a little moro
acllvo and Ihe next one would-call it Hat.
In one way they were both right. If a
seller had something that happened to
strike the cyo ot a country buyer heould
In some cases get more money than ho
may have been offered by speculators the
day before. On the oilier hand , specu
lators had a good many slalo eattlu on
hand and were not anxious to take on many
moro at the end ot the week , o that If a
seller was not fortunate In having what
some country buyer wanted ho found it
in many cases almost Impossible to get a
bid. As a matter of course It was the
good cattle that were most sought after ,
but still there were gt > od cattle in the
yards that were hard to sell. When it
came to common cattle they wore almost
unsilable , ns no one. wanted them , and no
one would make a bid. While it Is no
easy matter at a time like the present to
tell how much lower the market Is from
day today , It Is safe to say that feeders
are 25B35c lower than last week and in
extreme cases possibly worse than that. .
For example , speculators would offer $3.50
for such cattle as sellers claimed to have
sold last week at $3.85fl3.90. Kven at the
decline the. movement was very slow and
It took a long time to dispose o a. very
few cattle. Representative sales :

HOGS Today's receipts of hogs , with the
exception of yesterday , were the smallest
of any day since Monday , but Mlghtly larg , r
than a week ago , though little moru than
half as large as two weeks ago. It was ,
however. 11 fair avrage run for a Friday.
The market opened fairly active at prices
that were strong to 5c higher , and the bulk
of the early arrivals changed hands In
good season. Salesmen as a rule were all
trying to get a Cc advance , but an buy-m
were n little backward about pulling on
qullo lhal much In all cases tint trade wan
hardly as active as It might otherwise have
been.
Heavy hogs sold very largely on iho
early market al J1.50 , and medium weights
right around $ ' 1.55 , with light lomls
principally at $3.55f < 3.67H. The lat-r trains
Mild at about the same prices us were paid
in th ? morning , though , as Is very apt 10 bu
the cano after the more urgent orders nru
tilled , it was not quite t > o easy to get the
full extent of the advance on the last
arrivals.
As will be noted from tin ( able of aver-
age prices totlay advanc > went u long way
toward wiping out the decline In valu's thl * .
week and Iho market Is now back again
about where It was on Friday of last week
Monday was th high day of the w rk t"i
far and Wednesday the low day thu dU-
SHRI3P Ther ? xvns a very modern t" run
today of all kinds , still there wan n little
of everything In the pens' . The murkfi
opened slow and was at no time very notlve.
A bunch of western yearlings , the same that
sold lust week at $1.25 and $1.30. brought
$1.00 today , Hhowlng In n. pretty clear way
the amount of declining on that kind of
stuff since last week. While , us already
remarked , the market was not very active ,
killers appeared to want wlmt there was
here und about everything that was desira
ble sold In good sen > on.
In some cases sellers who had fenders
thought they were able to s < 11 out u little
more readily than yesterday , but the imirk-t
as a whole was not much rhnngrd from
what It was yesterday on feeders or stock
sheep and lambs.
