CHICAGO , Dot. 21. After ruling strong
the nrcntcr part of the session today wheat
finally succumbed under heavy liquidation
mid December closed with a loss nf ' # % .
A larger Increase In the world's visible
supply than expected brought about the
change In sentiment , Corn suffered from
realizing nnd closed ' .lc lower , Oatg lost
We Htld provisions 2Vit)5c. )
DlRappolntlng cables started wheat rather
easy. The market soon began to harden ,
however , as shorts commenced covering
from the outset , owing to reports oC con
tinued drouth In the southwest , where
much of the fall sown wheat has not yet
germinated. Humors of a sharp break In
consol.i caused further apprehension nnd as
outside orders began to Hood the Pit tlio
demand became so urgent that n Oie nd-
Vance was added to the opening fleurcs
during the first twenty minutes' trading.
After that the tips ami downs wore fre
quent within a rather narrow range until
tlio last hour , when an Increase In the
world's visible of lS7j,000 bushels , where
only 2,000,000 bushels had boun expected ,
started liquidation nnd the market soon
lost Its previous Inioyimcy. Hcports of a
break In the drouth added to the Helling
movement and the early gain was all lost.
The market continued weak the remainder
of the session and closed lit the bottom.
A report that Argentine would have n. sur
plus of over 80.frtO.OOil bushels for export
this year had a depressing Influence during
the Into trading. December opened lie
lower at 70y.l70ic ? , advanced to 71"fiil'ie
and declined to "O'.ic nt the close. Chicago
received 231 cars. G of which -were eroded
contract. Minneapolis and IJuluth sot 793
earn , compared with 1,402 the same day a
year ago. Total western prlmnry receipts
were 1,183,000 bushels , or GW.OOO bushels less
tlinn last year. Atlantic port clearances ot
wheat and Hour equaled 4DS.OOO bushels.
Cash demand poor.
Corn ruled strong nnd active , but had Its
advancing tendency clogged somewhat by
prollt-taklng. There was a soft spot early
with -wheat , but poor yields ; u good cash
demand and lower ocean rnto- soon started
a rally. A decrease of l.OSO.OOO hushc-la In
the visible gave further Impctun to the
buying nnd although liquidation was con
spicuously heavy near the close prices
were well maintained. Cash demand good.
Receipts 739 cars. December opened Vic
lower at 31M 1(731 ( "ie1 , declined to Sl'dc , ad
vanced to SlV&iiiSlftc and closed with buy
ers at 31V4i31c.
Oats ruled easy , with trade limited. Re
ceipts wcro large , 412 cars , but this was
offset by a decrease ot 43,000 bushels In the
world's visible. December oi > enod n shade
lower at 22 4c , advanced to 22S4fT227 c and
declined to 22fi22-yc at the close.
Too many hogs und lower prices at the
yards weakened provisions nt the start.
The early loss was recovered later on In the
buying by packers , but tbnro was lltvle
animation to the trade. Jnnunry pork
closed 2i { 75c lower nt J9.40 , January lard
2',4 ' 75c lower nt J5.nOfJ5.32H : and January

NEW YORK , Oct. 21. The stock market j
as distinctly reactionary today. In spite I
f some strong spots. Prodi-taking was on
very largo scale. Sates on this account
ere quite well absorbed nnd created no
gn of demornllzntlon In prices. When the
act of iiroflt-takltig became obvious some
f the room traders turned bears nnd sold
10 market moderately. The bear faction
as not aggressive , however , and made no
real Inroads upon values. Neither wcro
10 bulls Inclined lo resume their cum-
ulgii for the advance nfter having taken
iclr profits and the market was Inclined
o drag during the latter part of the day.
omo attempt was made to Infuse strength
ito the market In the last hour by bidding
p Union Paclllc and Baltimore & Ohio pre-

crday's sharp rise , following a week ot
tubborn resistance to nil ntttcmnts nt

f the bull party served to wipe out pretty
cncrally the opening decline and bring

The London market reflected some de-
rcsslon upon this market apd the under-
one there was distinctly weak on the uu-
aslness regarding the position of the
British troops In Natal. The suggestion
f the chancellor of the exchequer that a
ax. on South African gold mines might be
ookcd to to help defray the expense of the
vnr was apparently not relished by the
peculators In the market. London sales
i this market were upward of 30,00) shares.
The general weakness of copper mine
hares had a depressing Influence on spccii-
atlon. The weakness of Anaconda on the
xchnngc wns supplemented by a break In
Amalgamated Copper In the outside mur-
tet nnd by weakness In Boston. The.
inrdonlng tendency of money was a dls-
ournglng factor for the bulls. Most of the
ay's call loans were made above 0 per

NEW YORK. Oct.21. . COTTON In to
day's market for cotton future speculation
was nt no time active , while fluctuations
wuro restricted to a range of but G polntb.
Investors manifested almost total Indiffer
ence and room traders were reluctant to
make a decided f.tand In favor of the con
fusion of Ideas prevalent and absence of
decided change in the crop situation. TOie
opening was steady and prices 1 to 3 points
lower , following weakness ! n Liverpool.
Within the first llfteon mlnutesi last night's
prices had been reached and left behind ,
shorts having covered In n straggling fashIon -
Ion on the news that receipts would be
light for the day , but by the end of the llrst
hour the market had lost all Its snap and
energy nnd for the rest of the session ruled
uneventful , with the pit almost deserted.
The btiar element drlved some comfort from
unfavorable foreign news , the knowledge
that the outside long Interest was a
formidable obstacle to successful bull
speculation and the reluctance rhown by
outsiders to further load up. Favorable
features of the market were bullish state
ments from the cotton belt , the conllrmlng
of rumors that northern spinners were seek
ing supplies of raw material on a large
scale and that exporters and October shorts
were nlpo In thi ) market for almost mi-
Imlted lines. The future market closttl
very steady nt a net gain of 1 < i/ll points.

CATTLK-Thi're was a fair run of cattle
today , but close to half of the receipts did
not put In nn app-arance until late , which
naturally would make the market late , evun
If there were no other causes at work. Another - '
other thing that wao not calculated to
make a good active market wns the fact
that the yards were full of trash , the gen
eral quality ot th ? receipts being poor.
I no market on beef cattle was not to the
liking of sellers. chlcaRo was reported still
lower , the decline there In a little ova' a
week amounting to SuftSOc , while the market
lit this point hns not declined over half of
that amount. The result Is that ihe buyers
here are very bearish and are determined
to get this market down to where prices
will bo in line with other markets. There
were only a few grass cattle here and they
did not got much oft from them , the market
being steady to a shade easier. Tc.xans sold
5c lower than the same cuttle brought yes
terday. There was quite a sprinkling of
cprnfed cuttle In the yard ? , and on them
the buyers were especially bearish , so that
1 n ° market was not only silow but lower.
1 he market on cows and heifers v-as slow
and common kinds weak. Good stuff brought
about the same prices as yesterday.
Good stackers and feeders were very
scarce and prices not much altered , but
common to medium kinds were slow and
weak and It was lute before very much
business was done. Representative sales :

HOGS Today's market was 2'iTI5c ' lower
than yesterday , owing to the reported de
cline of olilOr nt Chicago. The demand was
very good and the market artlvi > . so that
practlrally everything was disposed of In a
very short time after the market opened.
Even afjer tlm dixc-llno the maiket wns toj
high us comp.inxl with the way hogs nlv
selling In Chicago and Kansas City , but
the demand wns sufllcleiilly urgent to hoid
prices up. As will be noted from the sales
below the hogs sold at Jl.lflil.20. Heavy
hogs for the most part brought Jl.l ifl.l5
and the light hcgs (4.15il.2a , the range
between light and heavy being very nar
row. There wns nothing fancy heru to put
such a top on the. market as the load that
brought J4.30 yesterday. Representative

SHEEP Receipts were again liberal to
day. but there did not appear to be any
too much killing stuff. The demand on the
part of local packers was good nnd the
most of the offerings changed hands In
good season. Mutton shdep could be cullo < l
fully steady to strong and active. Lambs
were fairly active , but the market was
Just a little easier.
Feeder sheep and lambs ware1 rather
draggy , though there seemed to be consid
erable Inquiry. Huyers. however , wca-o In
clined to take their time nnd It was late
before holders were enabled to clean up.
