l > y the bright prospects of the fall sown
crop , coupled with nn oversupply on hand
for export , weakened wheat today a id Dc-
enmber closed with a loss of Vic. Corn
weakened under largo new crop estlmaUfl
and closed Uc lower. Oats declined 'fcc.
Provisions were Hat and closed with llttlo
alterations In values.
Wheat opened weak and after n fotble
rally near the "commencement on covering
showed a declining tendency for the re
mainder of the sess'on. ' Nearly everything
.combined to create a bearish sentiment.
Argentine shipments for the week were un
usually Innti' , amounting to 1,072,000 bu.
Crop conditions In that country wore rc-
iporttil pronilslng , the scarcity of ocean
vessels alone preventing enormous exports.
Such evidence of the undlmlnlshed shipping
capacity of the South American republic ,
roupletl with a steady Increase In the do-
me.ullu visible supply , disheartened holders
of long wheat , who unloaded freely. There
WHS also conslderablo Felling for thn short
account and s the demand wns sluggish
the market sagged steadily until ni'ar the
cnd ivhen covering started an upturn. The
Improvement was only Umporary , however ,
ns llntildatlon on a heavy scale followed ,
nnd the market closed weak within u frac
tion of the bottom of tihe day's range. A
slack cash demand and reports of the ex-
eellont condition of th-i winter wheat , as
a result of the re-cent heavy rains , stimu
lated tin- selling movement. December

responding day a yiar ago. Total western
primary receipts * were fl.12,000 bu. Atlantic
port clearances In wheat and flour equalled
7Wtt 'bu. ' Argentine visible wns reported
ns ri.2OT.000 bu. , against 423,000 bu. the same
period a yiar ago.
Corn was active nnd strong early , but
eventually weakened under liquidation , en
couraged by an estimate by an authorlta-
tivo stfitlstl-elan that the total yield would
amount to 2,2X\000jt ( ) hu. , Instead of 2,000 ,
000,000 bu. ns predict'by the government
bureau. A disappointing poor cash demand
was also against the market , but the coun
try tiuylng , owing to wet weather ami mod-
crat receipts , prevented any Important
break and the market closed steady. Re
ceipts , 402 cars. December opened a shade
higher at 325i32'c ( , advanced to 32ti 32i4c ,

NEW YORK , Oct. 27.-The stock mnrket
made a conrldcrnble display of strength
during the early hours of the day. Later
there were occasional advances by Individ
ual stoekri or groups , some of which saved
gains on the day , but In the majority of
rases the active selling movement of the
last hour wiped out the earlier gains nnd
carried prices * In some c.ist-s sharply below
last night's level. The motive of the selling -
ing wns the fear of nn unfavorable bank
Biatetnent tomorrow , as well as to take at-
trnctlvo profit ? on the week's advance.
The high-priced Industrial specialties nnd
the Iron and steel Flocks were conspicuous
In the late reaction. The most notable
movement , of the day was the rise In some
of the rnllronds running through the M > uth
" " < ) , southwest. Loul.ivllle fi Southern
Railway led with an extreme advance of
1J4. Missouri Pacific was n close necond.
There was notable tlrmness also in Mo
bile & Ohio. Chesapeake fit Ohio , Texa > t
Pnclllc , St. Louis St Southwestern , after
early weakness nnd the Baltimore .1 Ohl.i
Kocks. The larger railroad earnings shown
by monthly returns caused the movement.
The same motive advanced the price of
AtclilBon preferred and Northern Pnclllc.
The speculation was mixed during the
gr i er part of the day , many of the leadIng -
Ing Industrials elrlftlng up ami down at a
level either sideof last night's prices. This
was true of Sugar , Tobacco , Manhattan nnd
the leather Mtorks. The last unmet ! were
reactionary early In the day. but the pre
ferred stock came Into netivo demand late
In the day , with n rise of 2V4. Other points
9r atr , ° , nBth at different times were Rubber ,
Ropuhllc Steel , General Electric , Lnclcda
Gas , Tennessee Coal , Colorado Fuel and
Chicago & Eastern Illinois preferred. New
ork , Chicago & St. Louis llrst preferred
dropped over 5 points on a Minnie transac
tion without exciting any attention. There
were various points of weakness In the
minor specialties. Slocks of companies hav
ing to do with the metnl Industries were all
Inclined to heaviness on account of the re
actionary tendency In the prlco of the
metals. The Iron nnd steel stocks wore not
exempt. Steel and Wlro dropping an ex
treme 2j. with only n feeble rally.
Call money Hurried to 10 per ce-nt , with the
late demand for loans to carry over till
Monday and was quite llrm at 6fi7 per cent
nil day , According to statements by the
leading banks the net shipments of currency
to the Interior , both by express and by de-
posltr , at the siibtrcasury for telegraphic
transfer amounted to nbout J2.500.000. After
allowing for receipts of n considerable sum
in gold from the assay oince by the bnnks
their loss to the subtreasiiry still amounts
to upward of Jl.000.000. Tomorrow's state
ment Is therefore expected to show a loss
In cash of fully J3.500.000. Unless the loan
account of the batiks has been largely ell-
mlnlshed It IP evident that the surplus re-
Jfrve which stood IBM Saturday nt only
Jlt41.07o. must have been wiped out anel a
deficit established.

variations In today's cotton market did not
exceed G points and at no time could trad-
i Ing be termed active , The speculative hesl-
| tatlon was due largely to peculiarly con-
i fllctlng Ideas on the crop subject and as to
i the outstanding Interest , though as to "the "
I latter it was quite generally admitted on
the local exchange that the Investment
public held a largo amount of Jnnuary ,
March and May delivery staple. The open
ing was easy , with prices unchanged to 4
points lower , Xollowing- disappointing Eng
lish cables and under foreign selling pres
sure. An occasional effort wns made later
to dislodge loosely held long stuff , but these
endeavors were feeble nndtherefore unsuc
cessful. .Near the close shorts became
nervous , the weekly statistical showing
having averaged up In very bullish form.
A turn to cover sent prices plowly upward ,
with the market finally steady In tone and
prices 2 points lower to 1 point net higher.

CATTLE Receipts were naturally smaller
today ns the week draws toward a close
and while there was u fair showing of cat
tle In the yards It looked rather quiet as
compared with the bis days earlier in the
week. The market as a whole wns not
very much chanpod.
Uecf cattle were , in small supply and met
with quite ready sale at fully steady prices.
Ihls applies to both Brass and cornfcd
beeves. There was nothlnK very Rood , in
the way of cornfed beeves to put a top on
the market , so that the Bales do not look
very high on paper.
Cows and heifers of desirable Quality
were In good demand and the mnrket not
materially changed. The offerings for the
most part sold In good season and in Just
about the same notc/lios as yosterday.
Stockers and feeders were scarce and the
market strong. Bo few have arrived In
the last few days whllo there has been an
active country demand that the yards have
been pretty well cleared and prices have
accordingly firmed up a little. It is safe
to say that desirable kinds are 1020c
hlehor than last week. The rains In the
country , which have filled up the water
holes and made It possible to put out cattle
In some localities that were waterless a
week ago , have Improved the demand. The
corn nclds arc also belne Kot ready for
cattle and shipments to the country during
the last few days show decided gains.

SHEEP Receipts were so llcht that there
were not enough sheep or lambs of any
one kind to make n test of the mnrket.
However the few here , both killers and feed
er ? , sold In good season and nt prices that
looked fully steady. The feeling was that
anything desirable In the way of good mut
ton sheep would have brought firm prices.
