Oct. 17 There was e.n enorm ous trade In corn on the Board of Trade and priced on both grains and provisions were higher, December corn closing I'j'J JSc higher, December wheat 'stiV higher, .oat He higher and January provisions un changed to 7Mc higher. Wheat waa again Irregular and Ine vnl ume of business waa fairly large. Weather condition were against the market, but higher cable and the decided advance In corn caused a strong feeling to the sltun- Early In Ue session prices were higher, but a largeeJmount of long sniff, especially May, was dumped on the market, together with considerable, short selling and these factors In conjunction with a temporary decline In corn brought about a reaction. With Improvement in outside markets there 'was another rally and the close wa llrm and higher.

Trails in corn reached such Immense proportions that lt waa impossible to tell who was buying or who was selling, but .in spite of the large volume of business jthere were no new features to the situation, lit was simply a case of one or two promi nent longs holding the whip over th short, who covered freely today, resulting in a sensational advance. At one time Decem ber was over 2c above yesterday's closing price. The excitement did not subside any until large quantities of long corn had been thrown into the pit.

Another day of rising prices characterized the stock spec ulation today and the degree of confidence that prevniled wrs a notable contrast to the depressed feeling that existed at the outset of the week. The tormal announce, nent that Secretary Shaw hud agreed to purchase all bonds of the issue of l'.25 pre sented at the subtreasury today and to morrow was an effectual tonic to the mar ket. It was stated that a block of B.Ono.tXiO had been accepted and It wan prenicicu that fullv twice as much more could be Im mediately turned In by a syndicate at lji 't and interest, which would net about 13s. All told it was expected that the tenders under this offer would result In the re lease of about $20,000 treasury funds, which would be speedllv available to tne local money market. With this prospect of new material In sight to continue active opera tii na the noola went to work with consid erable conlldence and bid up their favorites notably. The call money maraet vnnwea great ease today and there were confident expectation that a good bank statement would be Issued tomorrow, which would contribute toward further ease next week. The preliminary estimates showed that the benks came out about even on their opera t'ciu with the subtreasury and the Interior, but the completion of some syndicate trans actions this week is expeciea 10 reauce me lean account decidedly. Active operations bv a noted speculative clique was said to be bared on the money tecclved rrom tne LouiHViue iNusnviue settlement and was nolntcd out that the early closing of the Rock Island capital rearrangement would release a largo amojnt of money which has been tied up In arbitrage operations between the old and new securities. 1 ne usual crop or rumors respecting this or that stock was put to good usage during the day. but the motrt tangible assertion was that a favorable trattic alliance had been effected between St. Paul and Union Pacific. Not much was heard of the rumored Increase In the Nor folk & Western dividend and yesterday s Interest In the stock was largely shifted Into other quarters. The soft coal stocks as a group were a notable feature of the day and an early rise of almost 4 points In Baltimore & Ohio caused an increused de mand for other stocks of this cluss. Heavy operations were resumed In Norfolk Sc Western at the opening, but after a rise to 80"v the stock was liquidated heavily and sold under yesterday's close for a consid erable part of the day. But little Interest was displayed In the anthracite coal stocks and there was some disposition to reduce dealings in them until the actual settle. ment with the miners U worked out. 1 rad Ing was furiously active during the first two hours, and when the list showed some disposition to lag St. Paul was brought fcrward as a leader. Immense blocks of this rtock were taken, lifting it 4 to 194. Iiarge orders were placed slmultane ounly In other transcontinental stocks, and there was a ready resixnse In all other perts of the list. While there was some shifting of Interest from one group to an other, the lessened demand for special stocks did not undermine the strong tono which permeated the entire list. 1 he United States Steel stocks became, promi nent after a long period of neglect, and their rise started an active demand for va- rlcus other Indetiendent Iron anil steel alocks. The high-priced specialties were not much of a factor In the marKet. nut there was an increased demand for many Kw-prlced stocks, especially those In the middle west and southwestern territories. Professional traders quite generally shifted their operations to the long side and were active In driving some of the stubborn shorts to cover, lyate in the day a heavy buying movement developed In the eastern trunk llneei, led by New York Central, and there waa a more general inquiry for the higher-priced railroads. Including Illinois Ctntral and the grangers. Top prices showed a fair sprinkling of gains reaching 'i points and over, and there were many of a Dclnt or more. The closing was active ar.u strong, but some of the leading futures of the day were" below tne beat. Railroad bunds sympathized moderately with the rise In stocks and there waa heavy buying In the speculative issues. lolal sales, par value, $3,!i,m.

NKW YORK, Oct. 17. COTTON The market opened steady, with prices 2 points higher to 1 point lower, and following- the call continued to work upward. The better reeling was due for tne most part to an un expected Hue In Liverpool and to reports from Full River that demand for varns and cloth was active at firm prices. The weather forecast foreshadowed unsettled weather over extensive portions of the crop country, with low temveratures In western Texas. The receipts were free for the day, but the estimates for the movement of tomorrow fell below the actual receipts on the same day a year ago. The private Liverpool cablee brought buying orders and the south, too. attempted to cover shorts here. The week-end statistical statement, as made up by Superintendent King, Secretary Hester and the Liverpool statistician were of bear ish import, but were quite generally dis counted. The market continued to advance until mid-afternoon, when light profit-taking by early buyers checked further Im provement. The close was steady, with prices net 3ifi5 points higher. Total sales were estimated at 175,000 bales. ST. LOCI8. Oct. 17 COTTON-Qulet ; middling. 8 3-16c; sales, none; receipts, 1.947 bales; shipments, l,5u5 biles; stock, 8,261 bales. LIVERPOOL.

Feeders, as la generally the c&se at the close of the week, were rather dull and weak. The quality of the offer ing's was rather common. There were no good cornfed steers In the vards today with which to make a teat of the market. For the week the better grades such as sell rrom i.do up may be quoted just about ateady. The common kinds, though, such as sell below (6.50 are not far from a quarter lower than they were a week ago. The reason seems to be that packers can get enough of the western grass ateers to supply their trade at a lower tig lire and they take the place of these part-fat corn cattle. The cow market did not show much change today. Buyers took hold quite freely and the yarda were cleaned up in good seascn. As compared with a week ago the cow market looka a little higher, particularly on the good heavyweight cows and heifers. The medium grades and can nrrs, though, are also higher for the week. Bulls, veal calves and stags did not show enough change today to be worthy of men tion. The market for stockers and feeders waa very quiet. Good cattle were extremely scarce and the common to fair cattle were hard to move at any price. The market could be quoted dull and weak. As com pargal with the cloae of laat week all kinds of teeders are lower. The decline in moat cases would be covered by 16c, though soma salesmen put it at 10&20c. There were not enough western beef steers here today to tell much about the n.arket, but good stuff would probably have sold steady. For the week the mirlrt Is a l ttle stronger snd good stuff In some cases Icoka lOtj 16c higher. Range cowa also held steady today and have advanced HKjtloc during the week. Blockers and feeders, however, were very alow and weak today and are probably luj lie and in extreme cases posalbly 2oc lower than a week ago. Representative sales: BEEF STEERS. So. Pr- Ke. At.

The market opened quite active and 1015e higher than yester day. The big bulk went from 27.06 to 8710, and as high as 17.16 was paid. Sellers were willing to cut loose at those figures, and as a result It was not long before practic ally everything in the yards was disposed of. Several trains were late In arriving, so that the morning was well advanced before the market came to a close. The later sales, though, were fully as good as the early ones, so that the market waa very satisfactory from start to finish. It Is to be noticed that the heavy packers that sold to such poor advantage yester day Improved the moat today, and In some cases were more than 15c higher. That class of hogs sold today largely from 87.00 to 87.05. Representative sales: No. At. gh. Pr ,4o. , at. 8b. Pr. 25 JM ...

If anything, a little better. Buyers were out early, and It was not long before the most of the desirable grades were dis posed of.

Aa compared with yesterday, those sales looked s little nigner. 1 ne general run or tne offerings, though, could beat be deacrlbed by calling them strong and active.
