CHICAGO , Oct. lO.-Decldedly lower quo
tations from Liverpool nnd a heavy In
crease In the visible supply made wheat
heavy today nnd caused a decline of 1 lHe
at the close. Corn was llrm nnd closed , MB
Uc hlfrher. OatB closed a shade higher. Pro
visions closed a shade to 7ic ! lower. A de
cline of % c marked the opening quotations
In wheat. Even at that concession ihuro
Ivan little demand and under liquidation by
long : ) , moHtly of n local nature , .1 still fur
ther recession In prices took place. Liver
pool was slffthtly lower nt the start , but
developed radical weakness before the close
of the rcsslon there. It rellecteJ the views
of English traders In regard to the war
prospects In the Transvaal which were evi
dently considered much more remote , and
this fact hud n strong Influence In local
trailing. An equally Important factor was
the prospects of a heavy Increase In the
vlslhlu supply. The Increase was dually
announced at 2,053.000 bushels. The local
ftocks eh owed an Increase of 5S2.000 bush
els. Another source of weakness was the
enormous primary receipts , 2,461,000 bush-
. ,
-
m /J
ti u little covering by tihort.H caused u
period of oteudlness. The demand WHS lim
ited , however , nnd when siitlslled the market -
kot again slowly declined , keeping on the
downward course until well Into the after
noon. Trading was narrow. The forthcom
ing government crop report had n restrain
ing mllucnco and the absence of demand
was but another factor In the wenkno.su.
The price was almost continually under
putH and not Until near the close was nny
Indication of a rally apparent. The De
cember prlco In the meantime got down to
71Q7lT4p. A break of almost u cent was
too tempting- for short. , who eovtri-d quite
freely toward the close ami caused an ad
vance to 72VfQ724e ! > where the market
closed. A report from New York that sixty
boatloads had been engaged for export hud
some Inllucncu In causing the late rally.
Minneapolis nnd Duluth receipts were 1.21S .
cars , against 1.1:10 : last week and 1.7SS a
year ago. Chicago receipt ) * for two days
were 431 cars , six of contract grade. The
world's ehlpmcnts aggregated over S.000,000
ljushels , shipments from Russia , being
1,821,000 bushels. Atlantic port clearances
for two clays were 1,223.000 bushels. Much
needed rain was * reported In the west and
51 northwest , permitting winter wheat .sowing.
Corn during tr-e. morning was active and
I ntrong. Elevator people and commission
housed WCTO sharp competitors for all offer
ings and a good advance was scored. Later
the feeling became easier on predictions of
Bcnorul ralna and part of the advance was
lost. Cables were strong and higher and a
sooil export demand was reported. New
York placed the export engagements nt lOi
cars. The heaviness of wheat also had it
tailoring Influence on bulls. Receipts for
two days were 3 , SCO cans. December ranged
irom : ! 0'/4o ' to 30J4o and closed ' .stfpUc higher
at SO'SJc. '
The market for oats was very dull and
prices kept within ti narrow range. The
market early -vtia a trlllo higher In sym
pathy with corn , but a little profit-taking-
later resulted In a loss of part of the slight
advance. Receipts for two dayt were SSS
ear . Scalpers -did the bulk of the trading.
December ranguul from 22-4c to 23c and
closed a shade higher at 22T c.
Provisions wer dull nnd ruled at Irregular
dciillnes. The ho < market was easy and
packers were disposed to sell. The cash
demand was reixwted good , but about the
only support the market received was from
cxportera buying against cosh sales. At
the close January pork was IV-c lower at
tO.fi'U , January lard a shade lower at $3.55 ®
C.57',6 , and January ribs 5c lower at S5.07'/ ' , .

Ortor of ( lie Trt'iimiry.
NEW YORK , Oct. 10. The stock market
today demonstrated In n striking manner
Its reliance on the domestic money situa
tion anil Its Indifference- the events in
foreign lands. The London market adj
vnnced prices under the -lead of Kntllr
mining stocks , in which there Is a merry |
speculation , based on the assumption of i
early control by the llrltlsh government of <
the Rand mining district , ' .nic local mur- |
Uct responded only partly to the Improved
quotations from abroad nnd more than lost j
the opening gains before the end of the
tlrst hour. Then came the announcement
from Washington ot the decision of the
Treasury department to anticipate the No
vember Interest on government bonds i
without discount and Mint -of the entire Ust t
cul year at n discount of two-tenths of 1J
per cent , n'bout the regular rate on guv-
eminent bonds. The response was prompt
and emphatic , prices rising with more np- ,
penranco of strength than for n long tlmo
past. The gains ranged from 1 to over 2
per cent In many active stocks. The buying -
ing was Undoubtedly In large part -due to
the covering of short contracts .by . the bear i
Interest , which has been considerably extended -
tended during fhe last few itays on the con
tinuing appearance of money stringency.
The speculative Industrials were most af
fected , Including those In the metal In
dustry. The most notable movement In the
railroad list was that of liurllngton , which
rose an extreme 2H. When the demand
from the short Interest was snt.lalled prices
begun to sac again and with the exception
ot a sharp bidding up of bilgnr to the top
level In t'ho ' late dealings the close was In
clined to heaviness.
The nutlon of the Treasury department
on its face otters something like $2t,000,000 !
for the discount. The a.mount . provided for
Immediate release , however. Is only nbout
Jl,500,000 , the payment of the balance of
November 1 Interest .being . llxcd for weekly
periods up to October 23. The extent to
which this privilege will .be availed ot Is a
problem , but last year's experiment on the
same lines did not bring striking results.
The anticipated Interest Inst year was that
due on October 1 nnd November 1 , so Mint
this year's ofler is greater by more thun
J22.000.COO , so far ns Interest is concerned ,
but last year the gt niment anticipated a
redemption of J14,00vv./x > of Pnclllc railroad
bond's In September nnd increased Its de
posits with the depository 'banks by $ ! S.-
000,000 In September and October. The treas
ury was paying out money freely then ,
while this yeur the. government surplus Is
constantly taking money out ot the market.
On the whole the relief offered by the gov
ernment to the money market appears
rather meager by contrast with last year ,
when the rate for call loans was ut no tlmo
over G per cent during the crop-moving
period.
The call loan rate worked rather easier
today , though the majority of loans were
made at 10 pp.r cent , the maximum rate.
In time loans lenders were more willing to
give accommodations for short periods ,
whereas they Imrt been holding out for the
six-months' period until the rate for all
periods continues nt ti per cent. The money
situation abroad was again distinctly eas
ier ami the weekly statement of the Im
perial Dank of Germany , as well as the
continued receipt of gold on balance by the
Bank of England , indicated progress to
ward recuperation. Nevertheless , sterling
exchange held llrm and uerman exchange
advanced a fraction.
The 'bond ' market continued dull and
changes In prices were mixed. Total sales ,

declined > ,4 In the bid price.
The Commercial Advertiser's London

sion of the Stock exchange 'here that the
Boers .had presented an ultimatum which.
It was reported , demanded the withdrawal
ot British troops from the Transvaal
borders within forty-eight nours was re
ceived -contemptuously by nnanciers gen
erally , especially In view ot the persistent
rumorrt ot the purchase from Portugal of
Delagoa bay. The markets , 'however , were ,
inactive but stronger on bear covering and
the knowledge that buying orders are
awaiting an outbreak of hostilities. Con
sols touched 104. In the American depart
ment tht opening was steady. Later there
was general sagging till near the close ,

NEW YORK. Oct. lO.-COTTON-Tho
statement of the Department of Agricul
ture come to hand today , but failed to
seriously disturb the preconceived Ideas of
bulls or bears. In fact , the market did
not vary as much as 1 point following the
announcement nt midday , this being a
most , unusual occurrence. There was a
goodly number of outside buying orders In
evidence at the opening nnd these. In con
nection with the bullish Liverpool ailvlces ,
sent prices up 2fjS points on the call , but
after a few moments of firmness prices
went off rapidly to below last night's llg-
ures under heavy liquidation and a bad
slump In the English market. From then
until midday both sides gave attention al
most solely to the straightening up ot
straggling accounts preparatory to possi
ble unlooked for features In the bureau
report. The announcement that the con
dition of the crop on October 1 was G2.1
per cent , us against GS.5 on September 1
and 75.4 on October 1 , 1S9S , was received
in a most matter of fact way , almost with
Indifference , although the trade had been
keyed up to a high pitch of excitement
tinder the Impression that something was
In store , In the afternoon the market was
Irregular and spasmodically active ; prices ,
however , kept within narrow limits. The
close was barely steady , with prices net
1 point higher to 3 points lower. The crop ,
statistical nnd other news from the belt
was generally bullish , but exerted little
Influence , having been discounted or over
shadowed by the confusion of ideas on the
bureau iiuestlon.

CATTLE Today's cattle market looked
up this mornliiK and the reeling was con-
, Eildcrably better all around. The move-
j nient was also more active and the most
' of the receipts changed hands early In the
morning : .
Only a few loads of cornfed steers were
on sale nnd only a few Rood loads. Some
yearllnfis sold as hlch as J5.75. The market
could hardly be quoted as otherwise than
; steady. The demand for crass beef was
cjulto brisk nnd the market on that kind
was plainly a little stronger.
Cows ami heifers were also In good de
mand nnd the market steady to stronp.
About everything that would answer to
the. description of butchers' stock sold
early.
In stackers and feeders the feeling was
decidedly better and buyers were out early
looking for them. The low prices have
sttmlllntori enilntrv litivinir ? rhrfn. tnn. thorp
Is a feeling that the big run of western
cattle Is at an end for the season. As a.
result the market was a little brisker this
morning and 'prices somewhat stronger. It
would be safe to quote the market on feed
ers as lOc higher than the low point of last
week. Representative , sales :

most , while the best lightweights did not
show so much change. The market as n
whole was reasonably active and the pens
were practically cleared In good season.

SHKEP There was only a moderate run
this morning of sheep and lambs nnd the
market started out In pretty fair shape.
Some ot the most desirable of the offerIngs -
Ings , which were wanted to 1111 a special
demand , sold early at strong prices. The
feeling on the general run of stuff , how
ever , was rather weak and the market
none too active even at that. Feeders
continue rather alow amS dull , though
quite a good many are being picked up by
the country.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct. 1C. A fire believed
to have been of Incendiary origin has dona
great damage In Mill Valley and , the ad
joining country about the base of Mount
Tamalpals. The town of Mill Valley was
for hours In imminent danger nnd many
summer visitors Hed to places ot temporary
safety. Corto Madera gulch , Boyle canyon ,
Bllthdalc canyon and the Cascades were denuded -
nuded ot their majestic pines and red woods ,
which the ( lames swept away like so much
dry grass. "Owl's Nest , " the residence ot
George T. Marsh , was utterly destroyed.
Some of the outhouses of the Bltthdalc hotel
wcro burned , including the laundry , but by
heroic work many of the buildings were J
aavcd. Dozens of homes were preserved by /
back-flring and by the efforts of hundreds of L
volunteers. There were many narrow es - '
capes and over a dozen persona were ue-
vcrely scorched by the flames.
Over 640 acres were burned over , 'several
email buildings were destroyed and many
beautiful residences nanowly cecapcd de
struction. Hundreds of men from Sau- ,
slllto and other adjacent points fought the v
flames for many hours. A conservative ee- *
tlmato ot the lora places It at $130,000 ,
though some nsacrt that It may reach 5500-
000. Lorenzo Ferrari , a lanorer , who WUB
fighting the flro. Is mltelng and Is believed to
have been burned to death. Many cattle
and 'horses were hemmed In by the flames
and are supposed to have periohcd. The flro
has not been extinguished. Several persons
have had narrow escapes from the flames
and a number of handsome country resi
dences are still In danger of destruction.
