hewed buying by the. professional clique
that bulled tho marxci ycsicruuy unu
shorts rushed to cover. December sold up
to G6W57c, lt toward tho end of the sie
Ion iirollt-taking cased tho market to o04
eo64c, whero It closed firm. Vc above yes
terday. There wan some good support from
tho outside, which Influenced tho buyjlng,
especially reports of purchases for tho
southwest. Receipts were 157 cars.
Wheat had some little spurts or activity
smd ruled with a llrm undertone. The out
Hide trade was unimportant, but Improved
cables and continued news of. damage to
the Argentine crop brought an advance t
the opening of UHUo to iH for Decem
ber at "lfniUc. On this advance thero
wan a reversal of feeling among the bulls
and a quantity of long wheat came out for
iiroflts. This and teportM of a free move
ment in the northwest brought December
to 70s4c. For a time every one wanted to
ell and the market became oversold. Tho
better feeling In the com pit brought a
quick reaction, however, shorts covering
until December touched Its opening- price
HKuln. Commission houses hail good rest
ing orders at 71c and longs took prolltH to
this figure. December '.dosed steady, a
shade under yesterday'M close at 71c. Local
receipts were SS cars. 1 of contract grade;
Minneapolis and Duluth received 600 cars,
making total for the three polntH of 688
cars, against 714 last week, and 733 a year
ego. Prlmnry receipts were 055,125 bushels,
compared with 911.000 bushels a yenr ago.
Beaboard cleorances In wheat and Hour
equaled GSS.OOO bushels. The seaboard re
ported 13 loads taken for export.
Oats wr.ro somewhat nctlvo and higher
early In sympathy with tho strength hi
other grains. There was n fair demand
from commission houses, but nothing of
peclal Importance and the market stood
dull and narrow. Shippers and elevators
were sellers. December sold between 35MI)
SS'Ar and 35c and closed a shade higher
nt 35Vi35c. Ilccelpts were 133 cars.
Provisions were dull and narrow, with nn
easier feeling pervading the pit. Prices
were bettor at the opening under tho In
fluence of better prices for hogs, and there
was nomo strength gained from grains.
Hut the rash demand was slow and at tho
closo prices were only steady. January
Jiork closed unchanged nt $15.10. January
nrd a shado lower at $6.92H and January
rlbh a shade lower at $7.S2',4'?i7.R5.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wh?.it,

NEW YOlllC STOCKS AMI ROM1S.
Coalers Group .Selected for Advance
by Professional.
NEW YORK, Oct. 2l.-Today's stock mar
ket showed what Is frequent In the profes
sional operations In the mnrket for an ad
vance, namely, the shifting of long ac
counts from one group of Blocks Into nn
other by realizing' where an advance In
price has already occurred and buying Into
a group thut has been quiescent. Tho group
8t'lected for the advance today was tho
coalers. Tho plausible reasons for the ad
vance In the prices of these stocks were
the fact that the present year's output
promises to be tho largest on record, while
prices are llrmly maintained at a profitable
level both for the mining of tho coal and
Its transportation to market.
The policy adopted of beginning to ad
vance tho price of conl several months ago
brought It to tho maximum Intended on
September 1. This has had the result of
keeping up the demand all through tho
summer months Instead of throwing tho re
quirements for the whole winter on the
period ot cold weather, but conlidence Is
expressed that the business will continue
large through the winter nnd much was
made today of reports that only lack of
sufficient cars placed a limit upon the an
thraclte and soft coal movement.
While tho effort wns rather obvious to
concentrate speculative attention upon
theso stocks nnd tno causes which moved
them, thero was enormous realizing pro
ceedlngs In St, Paul. Union Pnclllc. South
ern Pacific und tho Vunderbllts which have
been advunced by the recent manipulation.
Rather less was heard of Northern Paclllc
settlement nnd the working out of exten
sive uddltlonul plans In the transcontinen
tal railroad field. Tho forcing to cover of
a largo outstanding short Interest Is 1111
evident factor and probably a motive i for
tho operations for the advance. The failure
of a small brokerage house, not a member
of the Stock exchange, which was caught
short of some of tho stocks recently ad
vanced was an Instnnceof the distress of
that element. Profit-taking lit tho Pacifies
and St. Paul was emphasized by the de
cided weakness of People's Gas on threats
of continued hostile lawsuits. The stock
fell an extremu 3 points, closing at about
tho lowest. , , , ,
Amalgamated copper was also decidedly
weak early in the day. Tho personal ty of
the sellers giving the appearance of Inside
liquidation. The stocks rallied well, how
ever, and closed with a small no gain.
Thero was rather more urgent selling of
the United States Steel stocks than for
some time past, but the decline was re
stricted to a fraction and was partly .re
covered. Among the gains that In lekit
wanna reached 8; Delaware and Hudson
am" Baltimore & ' Ohio, 3i Chicago G real
Western preferred, 4V4, and others of the
coalers between 1 and 2. Part of theso ud
vmVce were yielded before the closing,
which was heavy and near the lowest for
some stocks. St, Paul'- extreme : decline

SHEEP Tho receipts of sheep and lambs
continued liberal today and packers were
even more bearish than thoy were yester
day. They all tried to buy their supplies
lower, but hh feeder buyers were numerous
and anxious for supplies they outbid the
puckers In many cases, so that the bulk
of the receipts today went to feeders at
about steady prices. A big string of lambs,
tho big proportion of which were good
enough lor killers, sold to a feeder for
$1.25, which was considered a stendy price.
Mexican wethers, in tho samo way, were
bougnt Dy a tecuer at me marKut
today could, perhaps, best bo described
bv calllnc It cteady and active on feeders
and slow and weak on killers.

WARM WINTER WAREHOUSES
MilwMkst Makiif Spo'l Arrtogtrntnt.
far the Widllnr; of Fruit '
MAIIA IS TO HAVE ONE OF THE BUILDINGS
DcslRned to Handle Train Loads at a
Time In Even Temnerntnre No
Matter What the Weather
Conditions,
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St, Paul has
Inaugurated au Improved method of caring
for fruit shipments In cold weather. Ter
minal fruit warehouses are to be built at too
Important terminal stations on tho Mil
waukee road, Orunha Included. Theso
houses will bo designed for tho exclusive
storage of fruit In cotd weather. Tho ac
commodations will permit tho handling of
ontlro trains under cover and In an even
temperature, regardless of outside condi
tions. Tho first of these fruit houses has been
finished In Milwaukee and work on a second
will soon be started in Minneapolis. Ono
of them will also be built In Omaha, but
probably not until next year. The houses
wilt all be of brick and well lighted. The
roofs will bo of tho truss pattern and
driveways will bo rusdo along each track.
The averago accommodation of each sta
tion will be for twenty-five cars, six on
each of the paralleling tracks. Dy an Im
proved arrangemont of switches a locomo
tive arriving with an entire train of fruit
can place the same in the buildings In a
short time.
Facilities for tho shipment, receipt and
storage of fruit is tho least organized
branch of western roads. Overcrowding ot
great markets and distributing centers ono
day and lack of shipments the next has
been tho experience. It Is to remedy this
condition that tho new houses are to he
built.
Officers of this and othor railroads be
lieve that more fruit would be consumed tn
Omaha, Mllwaukoe, Minneapolis, Stoux
City, Dubuque, Duluth and other cities of.
that class If there were facilities for keen
ing the fruit In palatable condition.
ProteettTe Ilnrenn Limited.
The much-heralded protective bureau,
formed by tho railroads of tho country to
detect and prosecute ticket manipulators,
seems destined to early abandonment by
reason of legal opinions Just given defining
the very limited powers It may exercise.
Attorneys for tho Great Western and othor
lines have thrown a wet blanket on the
scheme by saying that such a bureau would
have no standing In any court as a prose
cutor for any Individual road, on the ground
that It would not be the authorized agent
of the road; in other words, that It would
not be the railroad's caso If carried on by
an outside bureau.
The protective bureau was formed at the
convention of tho general passenger agents
In Buffalo a year ago. The chairmen ot
tho five passenger associations ot the coun
tryTrunk Line. Southeastern, Central,
Western, Southwestern and Transconti
nentalwere named to organize and carry
on tho work of detecting and prosecuting
forgers nnd manipulators ot transportation.
This committee reported an organization
at tho passenger agents' convention Just
closed In Ashcvllle, N. C.
It now develops that officers of a number
of the more Important roads are opposed
to turning over their legal departments to
the new bureau, on the ground that any
case It might bring would tall.
Cltlcaiio Great Western Equipment.
The Chicago Great Western has placed
another order for locomotives, making the
third given by this company In the last
three months.
The order placed includes three extra
heavy passenger locomotives of the prairie
typo, to be used on the limited trains on
the eastern division; twelve extra heavy
fast freight engines, also of the Prairie
type, and Ave switch engine, which will
be heavier than any the company now op
erate. Tho twenty locomotives aro to be
finished at the csrllest possible moment.
Two weeks ago the Great WeBtern or
dered twenty-ono heavy locomotives and
shortly before that another twenty ma
chines were ordered, making a total order
of sixty-one extra heavy engines within a
few months.

ber of them new tracks will be Pjit In.
A special meeting ot the stockholders of
tho Rock Island Is being held In Chicago
today. The object of tho meeting, as set
forth In the call. Is to amend the by-laws
bo as to Increase tho membership of tho
executive committee from 11 vo to seven. It
Is generally understood that this chango Is
for the purpose of giving tho Moorea Inter
ests representation on the executive com
mtttoe. No. 10, the new fast mall train on the
Northwestern between Omaha and Chi
cago, Is proving of assistance to the mall
servlco, making possible a reduction In
time of transmission of mall between the
west and points In Indiana, Ohio and Ken
tucky. It Is having no trouble In making
the schedulo of eleven hours between the
two cities and on some occasions, when tho
western connection wan late, the time has
been cut considerably.
