CrnCAGO. Nov. 17. Wheat today was
strong up to within half an hour oC the
clone , when It turned weak anil closed at a
trifling decline. The advance was largely
In the nature of a scare among December
pliorts. but the- local nature ot the strength
wu ultimately Impressed on traders. Corn
and oat a were strong and cloned 1-SftUo
higher. Provisions closed a shade under
yesterday's flnal prices.
Opening trades In wheat showed slight
changes either way from yesterday's clos
ing prices. May starting a shade lower at
tGc , and December l-8c higher at eS-K ®
M 7-Sa The market at once developed con
siderable firmness. December again took
the lead In this respect , although the. vol
ume of trading wan greater In May , It be
ing difficult at times to secure December ,
u.i few operators cared to put out fresh
Hhort lines. The general demand for both
May and December , coupled with strength
nhown by Liverpool , and yesterday's largo
export business , alarmed the shorta , and
for half an hour or more th market was
active. May advanced during this tlmo to
fcl 3-8o and December to 67Ui367 3-8c. Lon
don reports more- Inquiry for off coast and
on passage cargoes , which had Its effect
on the strained local situation. Some re-
notion then followed. The advances
brought out considerable wheat showing
rood profits. It was all quickly taken , but
rirlces dropped to G c for May and 67c for
December. Northwest receipts today wore
henvy , Minneapolis and Duluth reporting
1,110 caw , compared with 1,025 last week
nnd 918 a year ago. Chicago receipts were
1H1 earn. 10 of contract grade. Total pri
mary receipts were 1,445.000 bu. Atlantic
port clearances of wheat and flour
nmount to 040,000 bu. Milwaukee reported
that Armour was preparing to ship 700,000
bu. northern spring wheat from that point
to Chicago. During the middle of the nea-
Blon the market wan nervous and prices
moved up and down rnpldly. December
shorts were evidently still apprehensive of
trouble on account of the comparatively
small Btockn and the freedom with which
wheat IH going out of thft country , and
that option became so profoundly bullish
that May caught some of the same spirit.
Bofor * 12:3U : December had advanced to
C7' , c , and May to 60 3-8TiCOV4c. In the last
forty-five minutes' trading , however , the
market experienced a decided reversal
Outside markets rw a rule failed to respond
to the advance here. Realizing also be
came heavy , more * wheat being offered
than the market could rapidly absorb nnd
yrlces in consequence dropped rapidly. The
market was weak toward the close. De
cember closed at SSliQGOB-Sc , and May at
CS 7-So.
Corn was active and strong , but did not
maintain beat prices. Country advices
were bullish , and the Price Current claimed
the recent government crop report unre
liable and Inconsistent. Buying was heavy
until late In the session , but the closing
weakness of wheat affected prices some
what. Receipts were 221 cars. May ranged
from 335-8(1 to 34c , and closed l-S&/ic
hlcher at S3 5-8033- .
Oats were firm und higher and a good
general trade was done. Outsiders were In
the market In Increased numbers. Cash
demand wan again excellent. Shorta were
large buyeis. Toward the close the mar
ket weakened materially und nearly all the
advance was lost. Recplpts wen * 224 cars.
May ranged from 26 l-Sfo-CSWc to 25 5-S < 325ic ,
and closed l-8c higher at 253-Sc ,
Trade In provisions was small. The mar
ket In the main was steady , though having
interval ! of weakness , duo partly to the
bad hog market. Prices were Influenced
by the fluctuating In grain. At the close
January pork was 2t4c lower at $8.90 , Jan
uary lard a shade lower at J4.90ft4.92Vi and
January ribs a shade lower at 34.52 % .

OPERATION'S IN STOCKS AND OOND9 ,
Ontnldc Public Continue * to Show aa
Intercut In Sccnrltlcn.
NEW YORK. Nov. 17. The results of to
day's stock market operations were rather
Inconclusive , except Insofar as they showed
a continued lively Interest on the part of
tha outsldo public in securities of all
grades. So far as prices are concerned net
changes are rather mixed , though the ma
jority lire on the side of gains , and thoto
in some cases amount to 1 per cent or
over. The early period of tie | market
shewed the heavy offerings to realize
which are at nil times usual In the upward
course of a real bull market. But even
whllo prices sagged nt some points with
tha effort to absorb the offerings , other
stocks were mounting upward maintain
ing thn undertone of firmness. The notable
movement In Atchlnon preferred wan con
tinued from the outset , at which time run
ning purchases carried the price tip 5-8
per cent. The gain was subsequently ex
tended to I'i per rpnt , and the. net gain Is
almost a point. There was a heavy du-
niand early for Denver preferred , which
had be n marked up before iho opening
here In London. This stock rose an ex
treme 2 point * , and Norfolk & Western
preferred I'i polntH. Balllmore & Ohio ,
Pacific Mall and Internallonal Paper gave
tone nlno to the early market , as did an
upward bound of S3i points In Metropolitan
Street Railroad. Early weakness In To
bacco and the reaction In Chicago & Alton
from its recent advance had an unsettling
effect in the first hour. In the second
hour , however , the grangers were taken In
hand , nnd Burlington and Rock Island
were pushed to the highest prices of the
yea * . Borne of the low priced and lately
dormant stocks were also brought Into
the movement and advanced to a higher
lovol. Thcso Included Denver & Rio
Grande , St. Louis & Southwestern pre
ferred , American Spirits , Chicago & East
ern Illinois , Minnesota & St. Louts and
SfAndard Distributing. There were con-
spiouous advances also In New York Cen
tral , Pennsylvania and Canada Southern.
St. Paul & Omaha preferred { .old at 170 ,
an advance of C points , and the highest
prlco on record. The late reaction was
Induced by the persistent weakness of the
Northern Pacific , nnd the uneasiness thus
caused In the minds of holders by rumors
of discord and a prospective outbreak of
hostilities In the northwestern railroads'
world. The rommon stock fell to 40"/i and
the perferred to 75. Support was ap
parently entirely withdrawn from these
stocks and heavy blocks were thrown on
the market. The aggressive buying of Pee
ple's Gas up lo 107H In the late dealings
rallied the market nnd made a linn clos
ing In Ftplto of the late weakness In Dela
ware & Hudson and Sugar. The local
money market showed no further harden
ing tendency today and the firmness of for
eign exchnngo Indicates a resumption of
the holding back of bills. The level of the
London money market , which declined ap
preciably today , Is now BO near that of
New York that a stringency In the local
money market could find relief in a gold
import movement. The bond market
showed a recurrence of Its recent strength ,
yesterday's declines being In part retrieved.

NEW YORK , Nov. 17. The bull faction
had the better start In today's cotton mar
ket , but made practically no effort to se
euro a material advance. Both the spot
and the future markets at Liverpool dis
played A steadier undertone than antlcl
patcd. Private cables reported almost fe
verish activity In dry goods circles abroad.
Parties In the south telegraphed that ex
porters and domestic spinners were having
a hard tims in securing the quantities do
blred of spot cotton at last prices , owing tea
a withdrawal of holders from the markets.
Fall River advices Indicated a growing de
mand for certain kinds of manufactured
goods , yesterday's sales reaching 100,000
pieces. The more active months moved up
2 to 4 points on the llrst call , but soon lost
the gain under soiling pressure from the
south and abroad. During the balance of
the early sutmlon liquidations were narrow
nnd lacked particular slgnltlcance. Late In
the day there wan a slight rally on demand
from the smaller shorts , but at no time
was the trading active. The close was
steady at a not gain of 1 to 4 points. Spot ,

CATTLE For a Thursday there was a
fair run of cattle , receipts being a little
larger than a week ago. Less than half
of the cattle were killers , a large portion
of the receipts being made up of stockers
and feeders. Th general market might be
? noted as fairly good on killers , but bad on
ceding stock.
About fourteen loads of cornfed cattle
were reported among the fresh receipts ,
and , while some of the buyers held back
and bid lower prices , there was a good
buying demand on the part ot other pack
ers , so that about everything sold In good
season. The prices paid i were not much
different from yesterday.- ! ' Some pretty
good steers sold at $5.00 , and there were
several loads at $4.90 , with some rough
cattle as low as $4.40 and $4.45. There were
no gross westerns good enough for kill
ers , to make a test of the market on that
kind of stuff. '
There were some nineteen loads of cows
and heifers among the offerings of cattle ,
which was liberal considering the total
i iDer of cattle In the r.ens. The demand
was good and'the market active at firm
prices , everything changing hands at an
early hour. Bulls and stags sold at firm
prices. If good , and the same might DC
said of veal calves , quite a number of
the latter selling ut $6.60.
In the stockcr and fttder division the
situation was not lo the liking ot sellers.
Feeding cattle have not been coming In
very fast , but at the same time the de
mand Is dull and speculators find It slow
work disposing of purchases. This mornIng -
Ing speculators were all talking weak and
were in no mood to pay very good prices ,
while the market lacked the support ot
country buyers. The result was the
market was slow on all kinds and fully
15c lower than Tuesday ; If the cattle
happened to been the commonlsh order , era
a Httlo undesirable. It was very hard work
to unload. Representative sales :

SHEEP There were only two double
decks of feeding ewes received this mornIng -
Ing and no killers , but there were quite a
number of loads of holdovers , so that the
market was by no means bare. Repre
sentatives of packing houses were slow
about putting In an appearance and the
market was a drag from start to finish on
all grades. The buyers would take them ,
but they wanted them lower , In fact lower
In most cares than sellers were willing to
accept , which made the trade still more of
a drag. The cause for this condition of
the market was to be found In the very
unfavorable situation In eastern markets.
As an example of ths condition of eastern
markets , here Is what the Chicago Drovers'
Journal ha ? to say of the Chicago market
yesterday : "With over 20,000 sheep yester
day and about 25,000 today , the market was
In a badly demoralized condition. Packers
claim to have lost money on recent pur
chases and seemed determined to recoup
today by getting their sheep and lambs at
a big reduction. Eastern markets were bad ,
both for dressed mutton and sheep , hence
the calamity today. Packers were so coldly
Indifferent tint up to noon nothing was done.
Business was at a standstill , for not even
bids were made. It would require the serv
ices of a prophet to tell how much lower
the market would be. " With reports like
this coming from Chicago It was not to bo
wondered at that the market here was slow
and lower. Operators however , appear to
believe that the decline Is duo to a tempo
rary glut and that there must come a re
action when the oversupply In the markets
of the country Is cleared up.
