CHICAGO. 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. December opned n shade to
'nVc lower at 714&71'V, advanced to
T.'Wc, declined to 71c, only to rally again
to 7214c. The close was H&Vc higher at
7J"c. Clearances of wheal and flour were
equal to 700,(l bu. Primary receipts were
l.jiw.uon bu., compared with MO.ooo a year
ago. Minneapolis and Duhith reported re
ceipts of 7R4 cars, which, with local receipts
of 110 cars, three of contract grade, make
total receipts for the three pulnts of 874
cars, against 994 last week and 77 a year
ago.
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. After the lull in De
cember commission houses t ok on consider
able May, advancing that option also. The
close waa strong and higher. December
opened a shade lower to higher St
61'tfom,c. From the opening there was a
stendv advance to M'tc, declining later to
Rio. The close was I'tlilV higher at 62c.
lcal rcotlpts were 365 cars, with S3 of con
tract grade.
There was little trading In oats, but the
market was firm, In sympathy with corn.
Fluctuations were confined within a narrow
range and the close was slightly higher,
December being up He at SINic, after selling
between Slc and 31?e. Local receipts were
163 cars.
Provisions opened strong on higher prices
' of hogs and on the strength In corn, and
' while trading was not heavy there was a
i good demand from brokers and commission
nouses, and with light offerings the market
held strong. January pork cloned 7Hc
higher at lard wes unchanged at
3 30 and ribs were Be hlghi'.- at S847H.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,
95 cars; corn, 310 cars; oats, 270 cars; hogs,
10.000 head.

More Rising Prices Finally Dispel De
pression of Early Part of Week.
nrw YORK. Oct. 17. 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.

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.

CATTLE There was Just a fair Friday's
tun of cattle here today and not much
change In the market for fat stuff was
noticeable. 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.

HOGS There was another small supply
of hogs here today, and as packers all had
to have a few the market recovered from
yesterday's slump. 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:

SHEEP There was a liberal run of sheep
snd lambs here today, but the demand waa
fully equal to the occasion, and an active
and strong market was experienced on de
sirable grades, of killers The proportion
of fat stuff was larger than usual, and the
quality. 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. Western lambs sold as high as
85.25; yearlings. 84.00; wethers, 83.70. Snd
ewes, 83 2R Those are the highest prices
naid for westerns In some little time. 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.
The feeder trade was far from being ac
tive thla morning, as there were but few
buyers on hand. The sales that were made
did not look much of any lower and the
market could be quoted dull.
