The final quotation left December wheat lHo higher, corn waa up VWc, oata were So lower ana provision were irom lost: to JCVJo Ibwer. - s The wheaf market w 'nervou all day and had many aharp declines and upturn. Two Important lnfluenoea struggled for the' control. The one was the eastern financial situation and the-local fear of poesiblo complication growing? out of it. and the other balpg the atrength of the foreign fnarketa, and the evident disposition of orelgnera to buy. Lata In the day the bullish ' Influence gained the- upper band aqd the market dosed strong and higher. It wa reported today tTiat all offer of caaf, wheat made last night' liad been ae rerfcedf by foreign buyers, and the hid for more were numerous and frequently higher. The cash market at Kansas City, Minne apolis and Duluth were also reported a atrong. There wa avklenca also that the heavy elllng ot yesterday waa largely by ehortit, who were anxiou to cover today. The tight money market In the northwest caused some selling In that direction, which had eomo effect here. December whent opened unchanged to c higher at te.i-V'i. i;4c eold between 994o and Il.Oim and cloaed ' atrong at $1.01 W. Clearance of wheat and flour were equal to 737.OU0 bu. Primary recelpta were l.UH.uoO 1m., against M7,(" on the same day last year. Minne apoli. Duluth and Chicago reported re celpta of . care, agalnat 618 last year and 6mJ a yar ago.. - The corn market In general followed th lead of wheat, although the situation In the cash market waa different. Eastern buyer desired to purchase corn subject to unusual financial condition, which were not ac ceptable here. The fin weather prevailing over the corn belt and the prediction or it continuance were 'bearish factor. All offer ing found apeedy , takera throughout the day. December corn opened Sc lower to So higher at l7ift7Vto. sold hetweon 67Sc and 6eo and cloaed strong at 6X4(fJfixvic. Local receipts were Vri car, with 64 of contract grade.' Th eats market waa tame all day. The range of price waa narrow and the eastern demand very poor. Trade In general waa small. December oata opened HtiSc lower t 61W6Hc. aold between BCVtWao nd IS and closed at bl'c. Local receipts were 206 car. The trade In provision wa large, but t a lower level than for aome Uma. Local packer and otttalde apeculatora aold the ' tlat heavily, and the money situation In the test waa a strong bear factor. A final break of Sfxg'SOo In the price of live hogs at the stock yards left th market without atrong support. January pork closed 32Hc lower at 314.47H.

Oct. 2.1 Violent pcrtui ba llon In today toek market was taken for granted In view of the serious nnaire of the day' new, both from the irusi company and Industrial field. The sen sitiveness of the market, as a barometer of the conditions, might hnve left It open, suppose bly. ti even mote violent tlisuriter. In view of the seriousness of the new. Aa a matter of fact, there was a con siderable end conspicuous fragment of tne list of securities which was but slightly ffected by the acute depression at other points and by the severe stringency of money. The resistance of these olnts In the list mUKt have been due to protective measures by money resources adequate to effect this end. Their comparative stability suKgrsted something of suspense, also. In the attitude of waiting fir the working out of "measures to fortify the Situation. The eager attention of the whole of the financial community converged on the prtg rees of these measures, or on what might he the final decision of the great flnanc.al and banking power who had the matter in band. It was felt that on the decision or theao conferences might hinge the restric tion of the field of the trouble which have thrown confusion Into llnanclal affairs, The failure of the Knickerbocker Trust company to reopen Its doors today and the now run precipitated on the Trust Company of America by Its request for assiatance front other Institutlona, offered the surface evidence of the trouble Then came the announcement of the closing of the Pittsburg Stock exchange ami the re ported embarrassment of industrial com panies as a cause.. The direct f rce of this latter factor on the lock murket was a testimony to the Importance of Pitts burg In speculative activity. Sale of va rious stock for Pittsburg account In New York were enormous and made a prime influence in the weakness of the Westlr.g house Electric, for which the market Is nar row at any time and which wa slaughtered In the urgent liquidation. The repot ted finan cial embarrassment of the company was the sufficient explanation. General Elec tric was In close sympathy, owing to the analogous business field of the two com panies. The effect of the Westlnghouse Incident was particularly severe on the Industrial seen r I tie generally, and many of. these disclosed the artificial character of t,M a quotation which have been estab lished for them and the narrow market existing, for any genuine liquidation In them. Support In thi part of the list eemed out of the question. Pools which find themselves Involved in theae tin marketable stock are forctd to liquidate other securities to pay off loan. It wa borrowing of an urgency such aa thi that forced the high call loan rate at the Stock exchange. A rate of 90 per cent waa made on a small loan. Apparently the fear of the effect from a contraction of credits applied more to enterprise of an Industrial nature than tor the transpor tation business, and ensatlnnal ' decline were made In a larg number of Inactive 1.
