CfUCAGO, Oct. 21. News affecting wheat
Viib mostly bullish today, but weakness In
corn and samplo wheat, together with lack
of outside business, caused k decline. The
closo was steady, December Uc lower.
Corn closed nnd oats Ho down. Pro
virions nt tho close wore 2& to 10c de

the Influence of a decllno of !MfHd nt

Indiana complained of Hessian lly. Shorts
covered freely early. December opened Sc
higher nt 73't,c to 73c, touched 72T4 and thel
Recovered to 7314 c. Eight hundred anil twin-ty-flvrt
thousand bushels of cash wheat wore
Imported sold here, but this was at prices
paid to be 5c under December. The sample
market wn weak, u condition explained
by tho nlleKntlon that elevators nro stuffed
full to tho eaves. This weakness, combined
with a downward tendency In corn nnd the
usual lack of outside support led to lln.ul
elation by commission houses and n mod
erate nmount of short selling by benrs
tinder which December later gradually
plumped to 72c. Here tho market steadied
on coverings by shorts to secure prollw.

.MOVEMENTS OF STOCKS A.M HOMIS.
Market Is llronil nnd Artl nnd I'ro
frsslonnl Traders Unify.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24.--Today's broad nnd
nctlvo market and the wide fluctuations In
prices offered excellent opportunities for
speculation nnd all classes of professional
operators wero very busy all day. The
broadly defined movements which domi
nated tho action of tho whole market wero
themselves under control of powerful spec
ulative cliques nnd there were Indications
of co-operation between tho pools which
wero manipulating different portions of the
market. Following this effective, leadershln
and busily occupied In bringing forward th i
ics prominent stocks in tne list to con
form In prices to tho chnnges In t,ho lend
ers was a host of small traders and board
room operators who wern In and out of the
market many times during tho day. Tho
strictly commission house brokers had
their full share of tho day's business, or
ders coming In largo volume from various
sources. The latter element offered tho ef-
teutivo medium for the success of the ef
forts of tho professionals. That there was
a large selling of stocks during the day
to this outsidu element becamo Increas
ingly manifest as tho day progressed.
When thn very nctlvo buying demand hnd
been pretty well satisfied nnd many of tho
professional traders had sold out and taken
their profits thoy took ndvuntugo of tho
soft condition of tho market duo to the
largo holdings of stocks having passed to
weaker hands to nut out short lines for n
turn. Tho resultlnir drain in nrlees In-
crensed tho pressure to realize, nnd the
iniirKci cioseu nctivo anil weait nt n level
materially below thn best, lint with snmn
striking net gains nevertheless remaining.
Tho backbone of the day's market con
sisted of the strength of tho transconti
nental group of railroads lying beyond the
Missouri river. Many rumors wero afloat
tin morning, calculated to stimulate tho
buying of theso stocks. One story had It
that Pnclllo Mall hnd passed to a Harii-mnn-Vundorbllt
cdntrol ns a step In the
lormauon or a great tnrougu transporta
tion lino from the Atlantic senbnnrd to the
coast of Asia. There wero also rather neb-
uious reports or a settlement of tho long
standing controversy over right in the .
Clearwater territory, In which there hn
boon a temporary truce betweon tho North
ern Pacific, Great Northern nnd Union Pa
clllc. A lease of Northern Paclllc by Great
Northern with a 4 tier cent dividend uuar-
nnty on tho Northern Paclllc common stock
is nn example or tho character or the ru
mors which were heard. Northern Paclllc
nnd Great Northern themselves wero sold
to realize on an enormous scalo nnd thn
former stock, with the exception of n brief
Interval, was belli belnw Innt iiIpIh'm love!
all day, but tho other members of tho
group and rncinc jiall were very buoyant
during tho early part of the day. There
was a very luriro speculation also In Penn
sylvania, nnd It was Intimated by the vocif
erous element among the buyers that tho
dividend rate Is to be Increased next
month. Tho strength from these stocks
radiated through the general list with
greater or less effect. Active buying of
Sugar helped the rise In the specialties.
No official confirmation was forthcoming
of any of the day's rumors, and repre
sentatives of tho Huntington estate dis
tinctly discredited the allegations regard
ing change of control In Pacific Mall. That
stock after rising 3V4 broke 34 points, hav
ing no small Influence In tho weakness of
tho whole list lu tho lato trading. Other
leaders In the ndvance suffered to tho ex
tent of 1 to H4 points. Of more substan
tial benefit was tho news of the engagement
of nn nddttionnl Jl,600,000 of gold for Im
port. Tho weakness of foreign exchange,
with corn bills coming largely Into the'
mnrket nnd tho further decllno In London
money ratos, Justify the expectation that
further gold imports nre Imminent. The
Jl.000,000 withdrawn from the Dank of Eng
land Is not unlikely to find Its destination
in New York.
Thero wore weak spots In tho bond mar
ket today and It did not share fully in tho
great activity of the stock market. Total
sales par value. 32,035,000. United States
government bonds were ull advanced J4
per cent on the last -call.
Tho Commercial Advertiser's London
financial cablegram says: Except In the
American department the markets were
very' Idle and Inclined to weakness, induced
by tho news of fighting on tho Indian fron
tier, which In view of wlthdrawnls of troopi
for South Africa and China Is regarded us
possessing ominous possibilities. Tho ship
ment of 201,000 gold bars to America also
had a depressing effect. There nro no
supplies of gold now tn the open market.
London told Northen Paclllc Issues, but
held others. New York offored support
and tho close w.os iitrnng. Contangoes
wero easy, closing strong: Northern Pa
clllc nnd St. Paul were firm. Silver fin
ished shaky.

Cotton Market.
NEW YORK, Oct. 24. There was very ac
tive liquidation in cotton today after the
market had opened at an ndvance of 3f7
points on early cables from Liverpool,
which wero higher. Local sentiment was
bearish and us the Liverpool market not
only failed to Uold, but closed nt a not loss
of 14JC points, the local situation became
unsettled. Prices broke 23Q30 points from
tho highest of tho morning, extending tho
decline over Hi slnco the reaction from tho
late bull movement set In a few weeks
ago. This led to some buying for a reac
tion, but as a rule tho only support the
market had was from shorts who were In
clined to tnko prollts. The basis for the
sellfng wns the generally, favorablo
weather, with no, frost Indications for the
near future; also 'Continued heavy receipts,
absence of publlV support, the retreating
relation of exporters and spinners In regard
to the export centers. It was reported that
the south, particularly In the Atlantic
states, would hold cotton back, not being
willing to sell after so marked a decline,
but the movement kept local sentiment
pretty weak. The decline was arrestod to
ward tho close and a little buying rally en
sued. Market closed steady at a net decllno

ca'itik There were a few more cattle
here today than yesterday, but not as
many as on Monday. The demand for all
kinds of cattle of desirable quality was In
frooil shape and as a result the market was
airly active and about everything was sold
111 huou season.
There wns a fair sprinkling of corn cattle,
about twenty-five cars being Included In
the recolDts. Buyers seemed tn lie n lllll.
more anxious for supplies today and as a
loMun itinera neiu tneir cattle at a little
stronger prices. Handy weight cattle in
E articular were In good demand and
rought good, strong prices. Tho heavy
cattle did not seem to move quite as
readily, but at the same time the market
was strong all around, unless It be on
tho common and half-fat stuff, which was
about steady.
Thirty cars would cover the receipts of
cows and heifers and the market was
strong and active, the demand being good
for nil kinds. The medium kinds and
ennners are also higher than they were at
tho closo of last week, though on such
grades u dime would probably cover the
advance.
The stockcr and feeder trade did not
show much change today. Yard traders
wero all looking for good cattle and the
market was lust about steady und fairly
active. The less desirable grades did not
move quite as rapidly, biit at tho same
time prices held up In good Bhnpe and the
pens were well cleaned up In good season.
Stock cows and heifers were In light BUpply
today and prices are now probably 10c or
15c higher than they wero .at the close of
last week. Stock bulls are also In good
demand and tho market has ndvanced
nbout the same as on stock cows and
heifers.
Thoro were very fow western beef cattle
on sale, hut the market could safely be
quoted strong. Cows were In good de
mand and 5010c higher, or 10I6c higher
for the week. Stockcrs and feeders brought
Just about steady prices and the market
was fairly active. Reuresentatlvo sales:

HOGS Thn mi tin v of hoes wns It little
more liberal today, closo to 100 cars being
on saic. i. nicnpo came lower again innay
and as n result nackers started In here
bidding 10c lower. Tho demand seemed to
be In good shape, but sellers wero not
willing to tnko off quite that much. und. as
a result, tlm market won slow and druggy.
Tho bulk of the hogs sold from J4.6o to
14.55. with tho long string nt $4.50. It took
food quality of hogs to bring over 11.60 md
1.62'j, thoso prices being bid for ull but the
common stuff and the vory choicest. Yes
terday, It will be remembered, tho bulk wna
from JI.GO to $4.05.
The Inst end ot the market wns Just nbout
the same, everything being sold nnd
weighed up In good senson. As will bo
seen from the tntilo of nverngc prices, the
market Is about where It wns on Thurs
day and Frlduy of last week, the advance
of Saturday and Monday being lost.

SHEEP There wim-ralher n llcht run of
sheep here today, but most everything was
feeders. A few -jood lambs were on sale
and they brought Just about steady prices
at the week'c decline of lOiflCc. Thero
woro no cholco sheep on ,the market, but
such as were hero brought Just about
yesterday's prices, but the 'decline for tho
weok Is about tho same as on lambs.
Not much can be said regarding the
feeder situation. Fluctuations from day to
day nre so small that thov ennnnt be
quoteu. so mat about all that can be said
is mat it is a steady market, with the
supply and demand running Just nbout
oven. Each day's receipts arc cleared uu
lu good shape, so that tho market stays
practically stationary.

Story of n Trnurily That Explains
M) Kterlnii Dlmipprnriincr.
A dispatch from Columbus, O., to tho
San Francisco Examiner relates wh.it Is
claimed to bo a truo story with 11 tragic
ending an ending that has made n gallant
nlllcer of tho 1'nlted States army a de
serter and nn exile because of remorse.
CJinrlcs M. Rockefeller, n youtig N-w
Yorker, enlisted ns a private In a New
York regiment at the civil wur. In If ill ho
was nindo u llrst lieutenant In the Ono
Hundred nnd Seventy-Eighth New York In
fantry and for gallantry at Fort Rlnkcloy.
Aln., on April 8, 1865, a medal of honor was
awarded 111 111.
He was honorably mustered out In 1866
and business took him on a trip to Winona,
Mich. Thero he wooed und won Miss
Evangellnn Regan, l.leutonanr Rockefeller
again Joined the army as second lieutenant
In tho Ninth Infantry. Ho was then sta
tioned In thin city nnd nlways nfterw.tnl
called Columbus nls home.
A child was born 11 boy. He wns called
Robert. When the II tt l ono was a venr
old, lu 1S70, Lieutenant Rockefeller wns dr.
tullod on duty In Hong Kong, where ho
lived with his wife and baby until 1872.
Whllo stationed at Hong Kong Lieutenant
Rockefeller lived with his family at tlio
International hotel. A Chlneso nurse
looked nfter tho llttlo boy.
In 1872 ho nrrnnged to sail for San Frnn
clsco. Two days beforo tho dnte set fur
sailing tho Chinese nnd baby disappeared.
Hong Kong was searched. Large rewards
were offered, but no truce of tho nurse rr
child could bo found. Tho broken-hearted
young nontenant and his wife wero com
pelled to return to the United Stntes with
out 'the llttlo one. Mrs. Rockefeller died
soon nfter her nrrlval In San Frnnclsco nnd
the grief-stricken fnther rejoined his regi
ment. Ho saw service with tho Ninth In Iho
Indian wars and In Culm nnd when hts
regiment was ordered to, tho Philippines
In tho spring of 1599 ho went along. Iln
wns then n captain anil wns known
throughout tho nrmy na u daring soldier.
Soon after his nrrlval at Manila he wns
made a major and transferred to tho Sixth
In f nil try.
Mnjnr Rockefeller, nt tho head of threo
companies of troops, .tcoured the countiy
around San Ueoln. On one occasion a
vicious stand wns made bv a bodv of In
surgents, 'led by a handsome and dnshlng
yoi.ng whlto man, who fought llko a fiend.
He chnrired rlcht 1111 to thn Amertr.111 linen.
Major Rockefeller shot him dead and the
liifurzents fled.
Major Rockefeller directed that tho body
be searched nnd tinners found 'nvea'ed that
!ho was Paul Stunlmpo of Hong Kong. A
uiary, wruien in unguim nnu rtiving to
talis of tho business career of the young
fellow, was found In his blouse.
A month nfter the engngement Major
Rockefeller received n letter from Hong
Kong In response to one ho had written
nearly a year before. Tho letter was from
tho American consul nnd recited that lu
1S78 n white boy had boon placed In tilt
Jesuit college In Hor.ir Kong by n Chine.
woman, who said that ho was 9 years old
and that, his name was Paul Yen, Tim
nn mo or the Chinese woman who had
nursed tho Rockefeller baby was Yen.
lit 18S1 the boy was adopted by an Eng
lishman In Hong Kong by tho name of
Henry Stanhopo. Ilo gave the boy his
name und reared him jve'l. The young fel
low was well known In Hong Kong as Paul
Btunhopo. Ho wns of 1111 advenlurous dis
position nnd somo two years ago Joined
Agulunldo'B nrmy. It was this young man
that Major Rockefeller nhot nnd klltcij In
the engagement with the Filipino.
When Mnjor Rockefeller read the letter
It had been chasing him around the world
for nearly a year he realized that he had
slain his own son. He dropped out of sigh:
ns myBlerlously ns tho bnby hnil disap
peared In Hong Kong. From Manila ho
made his way to China, and by devious
routes to Santa Barbara, Honduras, where
ho Is today, and where ho Intends to re
main, according to n letter received a week
ugo from him by IiIh brother-in-law, Ter
rnnco Rcgnn of Milwaukee.
Major Rockefeller disappeared on thn
Island of Luzon tho night of May 12. 1899.
He had ronched Manila with his regiment
bul a few days beforo nnd was In camp Just
a few miles from Mnnlla. Ho left his tent
nt night to reconnolter his position and wan
not Been ngnln,
Concerning his disappearance Major W.
R. Miller of St. Louts on September 16
snld:
"What became of Mnjor Rockefeller Is
ono of tho principal mysteries of tho Fili
pino war.
"We aro reasonably sure that he Is dead,
but wo shall not abandon hope until the
end ot the wnr. when tho Inst prleon will
bo searched. Major Rockefeller was 62
years of ugo, a ratlve of New Yorit,
jsaq oij jo nun pun jnomo limijnst 11
soldiers I ever knew. Ho began his career
as h volunteer lu '61 nnd wns n lieutenant
of tho Twcnty-sovcnth Infnntry at the con
solidation of tho army In 1869. I knew him
Intimately. Ho was one of my llfo-long
friends, I wns with him through the rlvll
wnr and tho wnr with tho Sioux, In which
Custer wns killed, and shall always remem
ber him us one of tho truest of enrth s
nohlomeii-a man whoso disposition was
sweet ns a gentle woman s. I
"Tho most likely theory advanced upon
Major Rockefeller's fato comes from the
surgeon of his company. Burgeon Owen be
lloves tho Major fell Into a well. They had
lust moved out to a new camping plnce on
the Island and Major Rockefeller, who was
always nn extremely careful soldier. left
tho camp tn make a reconnaissance, He did
not return and when his soldiers searched
for him no traco of him was found. They
naturally supposed lie had been captured,
but this theory Is hardly tenable now, when
sixteen months have claimed und every
prison known to tho Amorlcan troops hns
been opened. Surgeon Owen snys the camp
from which Major Rockefeller disappeared
was surrounded by a number of uncovered
wolls nnd ho believes the major walked Into
ono of these."
