CHICAGO , Oct. 2. The pro.'pect of war
bftv.-oen Great Britain and the Tranwaal
was the predominant factor In nil the grain
nnd provision markets today and caused
shii'-p advance. In some Instances. A big
fun Ipn demand for American cereals was
nls'i a feature. December wheat closed
IV higher and May l',4"il c higher. Corn
advanced \WAc \ , oats W&&C and provisions
2HMOc higher.
\Vheat started strong at nn advance of
fai'tc ' for December and ' /4c for May , which
latiar option was In considerable demand
thrniifrhaut the session. War In the Trans-
vu 1 was conslilered ulmwt certain by
l njllsh traders , as was shown by u sharp
a l\anco In the Liverpool market and
th'i ' fact strongly Influenced local traders.
HP tides this , primary receipts showed a
big falling off nnd the foreign demand for
wheat was excellent. The demand was
iliiite general at the opening , outside In-
voftmont buying being much In evidence
nnd December opening at 73TMJ74c , soon ad-
va-icod to 74V4c. This price was well nbove
rnlI llgurcs and selling ngalnst thofe privi
leges and the usual realizing by longs
caused a temporary decline , December re-
nctlng to 74c. This , however , was the only
soft spot of the entire session. Prices
wore soon back to 741/itr74c. and though
tt.o volume of trading fell oft for a time
no further decline resulted. There was
ui parently n quiet absorption of all offer-
In ; s by some Important Interests. Toward
the clews of the session the market again
bi came very active and broad and prices
lu'.vaiicpil ' materially. A report that diplo
matic relations between England and the
Tiunsvaal had been broken off and mar-
tl.il law proclaimed In Pretoria , put a sud-
di n stop to selling of any kind and prices
wore bid up quickly. Considerable Interest
w.iB taken In the May option. There was
a good outside demand for this future atui
the difference between May and December
widened to 3c In consequence. Minneapolis
nnd Duluth receipts wore 1534 cars , agalnft
1.S31 lust week nnd 2.IIS a year ago. Chl-
cngo receipts were ! ! ) ( ! cars , seven of con
tact grade. Total primary receipts were
5 170,000 bu. , against 2.2.1COoO bll. a year ago.
'I he local cash demand was large , with
n-les of at least SO.OOO bu. reported for ex
port. Other big shipping points reported
a similar condition. New York reported
thirty-nine loads taken for export. The
visible supply showed a heavy Increase.
2.115.0UO bu. , but this had little effect on
the market. St. Louis was a big buyer
In this market. December advanced to
7lo und closed at 74-fi5i7l&c. May ranged
from "B-&c to 77-)4c , und closed ! ViQlic
higher at 77 0.
Corn was fairly active and strong. Shorts
were heavy buyers of both December nnd
May and both futures scored material
advances. Prospects of a war In the Trans-
viuil was a prominent factor In the advance.
The shipping demand was unabated , the
keaboard reporting 152 loads taken for ex
port. Receipts were 9SS cars. December
ranged from 29T4c to SO'/jC , and closed H ®
rxc higher at 30iff304p. May closed > 4c
higher nt SlVic.
Oats , In common with other grain mar-
1 3tM , were active and higher. Prospects
r f war made shorts uneasy and covering
l-y that class of traders resulted In good
advances' ' . The small Increase In the local
i-tocks. 132,000 bu. , and tha continued heavy
rash demand , were also factors. Receipts
were 317 cars. December ranged from 22 %
Cf.3c to 23'CB123ic ' , and closed ) .i'3c higher
at 23'i23'ic. '
Provisions were only moderately active.
Prospects of war and small deliveries and
the strength of grain markets were re-
Jlccted by provisions and fair advances were
scored In all products. The market waa
Btrongest near the close and llnal prices
were about the best of thn day. At the
nloso January pork was lOc higher , at
S9.S3 ; January lard EC higher , nt $3.G7H. and
January ribs 5c higher , at $5.15.

NEW YORK , Ot. . 2. The stock market
had to face this morning the accumulated
depression of thre days * ' trading In a sag
ging market In London , while the exchange
was closed here. The drop In prices at the
opening was a wide one , numerous railroad
stocks showing a loss of a point or ever
and Tennessee Coal showing nn extreme
di'olltie of 7 points. The local traders were
Inclined to feel that London was unduly
depressed , especially with reference to
American securities , and they started to
bid prices up again. The firs ; loan of the
day was made nt 6 per cent , nnd this en
couraged an optimistic view of the money
outlook. The rally was short-lived and
the course was quite consistently down
ward for the rest of the day. A Rharp ad
vance In the coalers on the ndvuncp In
the price of anthracite was Ineffectual to
check the decline. London pold not only
during the llrst hour , but ns long ns of-
llces there were open for business. Liquida
tion from that source reached between 40.-
000 and 50,000 shares. The violent decline
In British consols had an Important nentl-
mcntnl effect , although It was afterward
explained that this was partly due to the
expectation of a now Issue. But the new
Issue is as significant of the practical cer
tainty of war as any Incident that has thus
far occurred , so that the explanation did
not afford relief to the stock market de-
preoslon.
The sharp rise In London discount rates
caused an advance of < Hc , In the actual
rate for demand sterling here and had nn
equally marked effect on the sterling ex-
onnnge rate both at Berlin nnd nt Paris.
This development is equivalent to notion
that London Is not prepared to part with
more gold to New York without making
every possible effort no prevent It. Long
sterling was weak on selling against ster
ling loans. The local money rate quickly
moved upwards when the renewal of loans
carried over from last Thursday began to
influence the market. Thu call loan rate
was carried up to 17 per cent , while the
money market was still In full activity. It
was then rushed up to 30 per cent , after
which there were violent fluctuations down
to 10 per cent and up again to 35 per cent ,
at which rnte the last loan of the day was
made. The closing was 30 bid and 33 naked.
None of the expected relief to the money
mnrket was In sight today. The develop
ments In London lessen the probability of
further gold Imports and the condition of
New York exchange at Interior points In
dicates a continuance of the demand for
funds from that source. The money left
In the city by the visitors to the Dewey
celebration was not In evidence In Wall
street , though much had been said of thin
prospect of relief by the speculative con
tingent. The subtrcasury has gained nearly
Jl. 500,000 from the market since Friday.
Money seemed to bo In supply at the
higher rate from the proceeds of time loans
made some time ago , but the loaning re
sources of the banks are evidently ex
hausted at present.
The decline In prices was made without
any evidence of demoralization , but last
prices were the lowest. Net losses In the
railroads are quite generally between 1 and
2 points and the selling was well distributed
through the list. Among the leading spe
cialties losses ranged from 2 to 6& , the
latter Sugar.
The bond market was not active , but was
weak. In sympathy with stocks. Total
sales , par value , $1.230.000.
The Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram say ? : The markets here
were heavy throughout the session today ,
Influenced by the war apprehensions and
dearer money. Consols fell 1U to 102 % , the
contango still ruling at the exceptionally
high rate of 5 per cent. The Bank of Eng
land directors held n meeting , but did not
advance the minimum discount rate , from
which it Is Inferred that the present rate
of 314 per cent will remain until Thursday.
The market rate for bills ruled at 414S1
44 per cent for those maturing within the
year : beyond that tlmo 4-itj5 ) per cent was
afked. The bank discounted short bills at
4 , long bills at 414 per cent and loaned
i money at 5 per cent. The call rate ranged
from 31405 per cent , a good deal being
put out at the latter figure. The final rate
was 314 per cent. Americans begun weak ,
hardened slightly on receipt of New York
price , but finally relapsed ngaln. Spanish
Is were 60Vi. ex-dlvldend : Tintos , 44i.
Two hundred and forty thousand poundt
sterling In gold was taken for Egypt and
34,000 In bars were bought. Part of the
last Cape arrival was taken at 77s 9d. The
Lazards , In Parip , have Just shipped JC200-
000 for New York. It is thought here that
more will follow. The Bank of Belgium
has raised Its discount rate from 316 to 4
per cent. Thn copper fortnightly statistics
show stocks decreased 1,499 tons ; supplies
decreased 3,199.

Cotton Market.
NEW YORK , Oct. 2. COTTON It wv a
"big day" on the Cotton , exchange. M.he
greatest advance In prices was a matter of
i 38 points and from start to llnlsh the bull
faction waa In control. Friday's queer doIngs -
' Ings In the New Orleans market had led
! the 'trade here to look for something in the
1 way of a prize when tlhe market opened ,
more particularly as It had been rumored
I Liverpool shorts were In full retreat , this
! being closely followed by jubilant bulls.
j The Initial sales showed nn advance far
. exceeding the hopes of the most optimistic
I holders , while subsequent business re
vealed an Intensity of bullish sentiment In
outside speculative circles not even imag
ined by the market's best friends. Just
previous .to the opening the superintendent
of the exchange made an unusual request
that brokers nanio the full price when
making bids and offers , in order to mini
mize the possibility of mistaken and to re
duce confusion as much as possible. The
stroke of the gavel started a wild wave of
speculative activity , which showed little
abatement up to the close. Opening prices
were 14 to 25 points above Uhe closing of
Thursday and , though the market reacted
i from time to time during the day , the un
dercurrent of sentiment favored still fur-
i ther gains. Bulls were spurred on at the
start by an advance of 7 to 7i points In
futures at Liverpool , coupled with rumors
that spot cotton had advanced In remarkable -
able form during the holiday Interval. Talk
of frost having injured the cotton In sev
eral parts of tJio belt , estimate * for much
smaller receipts than last year , as well as
, further severe reductions In crop estimates
and reports of advances In the price of
spot cotton In the southern markets , added
fuel to the lire of bullish enthusiasm.
Prospects of frost for the western belt to
night and Increasing apprehension that to-
, morrow's government bulletin -would bo
more bullish than generally expected
served to check profit taking late m tha
day. Those persons who had sold out
Thursday night In the fear of a slump
abroad before our opening today Invested
soon after the market opened. The mar
ket closed ilrm at a net gain of 31 to 34
i points.

CATTLE Today's receipts of cattle were
large , as was to be expected for the first
day of the week. Aside trom a sprinkling
of cornfed beeves the offerings consisted
almost entirely of range cattle , Uie most oi
them feeders.
Per the number of cattle hero the offer
ings of grass beef steers were veo-y meager ,
the most of the cattle being on the trashy
order and not suitable for anything but
stockers or feeders. IJuyers complained that
it was almost Imposulblo to llnd any cattic
In the yards that could bo called good ,
fleshy grass beef. Such cattle as buyers
could use txjld fully steady with last week
and In some coses a little stronger. One
bunch of cattle brought lOu more than the
same brand sold for on Thursday of last
week. The market on cornfoda did not
show much change , but some of tuu cattle
did not arrive until late , BO that the trade
won drawn out and for that reason did not
appear to be very active.
Buyers pounded the life out of the market
on cows and halters last weak and they
were apparently satisfied with what they
had accomplished and were willing to pay
fully steady prices today In spite of the
fact that tne receipts were large.
There seemed to bo a demand for the beat
grades of feeders at price * steady with Uie
cloao of last week. Other kinds of feeder ? ,
that Is , those on the common or medium
order , of which there were a good many ,
were very slow and lower. Representative

HOGS As uuuol on a Monday , the re
ceipts of hog-s wore very light and there
wore hardly enough on snlo to make a test
of the market. Packers seemed to want
what hogs there veto and were out early
and soon cleared the pens , paying prices
that were Just about 214c higher than Sat
urday's market. Some choice light hogs
sold as high as $4.50 , while heavy hogs sold
right around $4.3714. TOO sales given below
will show the kind of prices paid for the
cliff crent weights. Representative sales :
cerned. In good shape. Packers setemed to
want supplies and the market opened early ,
a large proportion of Uie fa.t sheep chang
ing hands In a very short time and at
prices fully steady with the close of last
week.
Feeder sheep and lambs wftre slow and a
llttlo lower. The largo receipts last week
seemed to fill the orders on file nnd In con-
soriuence there has been a sudden drop In
the demand , with the rwsult that offerings
do not move off o readily as Uiey did a
week ago.
