Wet weather In the Winter wheat belt had a depressing effect today up the loo ill wheat market, but buy ing by shorts caused a steady tone at the vlo, final prices showing only slight ciiunges from the previous close. Corn, uata and provisions were firm. The wheat market was an extremely nar row affair, both In regard to the amount of 4julnes transac ted and in the range of prices: ' Throughout the entire day the price of ull deliveries held within a half-cent range. Although the market closed steady, eentlment during the greutev part of the Heasion was bearish, owing chiefly to the weuther .conditions which prevailed In the west ami southwest. The weather bureau leported rain over the entire winter wheat bell, and the predictions were for continued wet weather In many sections. News rrom AiK'ntlna also was more optimistic, several dispatches claiming the damage to the new riiju by rosts would bo only slight. Pros peels of a further liberal increase In the visible supply of wheat in the I'nlted States aHHJanala for the. week furnished an ad ditional motive to sellers. The principal hulllMh influence or the day was a con tinued excellent demand for flour at Minne npolis, where MO.mio barrels, it waa claimed, were sold yesterday. . Cash wheat here waa steady at unchanged premiums a'nd no ex port business was reported. The seaboard ulso reported no salea for expwt. LUear iiiirvs of wheat and flour were equal to 4i.'U bu. Primary receipts were l.loj.OUO bu., compared with Nd.oou bu. the corre sponding day a year ago. Minneapolis, Luluth and Chlengo reported receipts of 7;u cars, against 773 cars last week and 617 cats a year ago. Fears'lhut the movement of new corn to market : would be hindered by the wet weather, present and prospective, caused many local traders to become quite active buyers of corn during the first half of the session, which resulted In moderate ad vances, ljater In the day, however, sevwal leading commission houses sold the May delivery ' freely and this tended to weaken the -market In general. The market was influenced by the rush grain situation, new i.urn being steady to 3o lower at the sample tables. Tie market closed firm, with Mlies a shade to Wu'tC higher, with De cember at tkiV: and May at 6230. Local receipts wore 18 cars, with 22 cars of con tract era tie. Tjuoii In oaia aas iruiet and the market fas steady. The firmness of corn waa the iihlef factor. Cash oats were steady and cistern demand was said to be poor. The market closed ste&oy, wiln p tcea linchinged lb He hlgner, compacted with the previous el.iae. Local receipts were 103 cars. .. Provisions were rather weak early in the U anion because of liberal receipts of live hviiis at western packing centers, today's us rivals being nearly double , those of the igirrcspondtng day last Voar. After the first lulling feature was over offerings dwindled to small proportions and a .firmer tone de veloped,., At the close pi-iocs were 8c to lAc ldher. -KstimatM receipts for Monday: Whetit, it cars; curo.i W cars; oats, 1H2 cars; hou. 4I.M head.

PRICE MOVEMENT IS SLUGGISH Protective Sapport la Perceptible for Home of the More InSaeatlal M.i tics Rond Market Is Firm. NKW YORK. Oct. 24. Interest In the au tomobile race for the Vanderbllt cup was responsible for a large reduction In the lisusl number of brokers on the floor of the Stock exehsnge today. The effe.-t on the rate of activity which lias prevailed lately wsa Illustrative of the professional char acter of the market. The withdrawal of so large, a number of the professional trailers left little to the market. Accounts were largely rliwil out yesterday afternoon pre liminary to the departure for the racing grounds. Some repressive influence is at tributed to the furious activity in the politi cal campaign which la lo-ikeii for next week. i no price movement today was sluggish and hesitating In agreement with the small Interest In the market. Protective support was perceptible, for some of tli" influential slocks, as Southern Pacific. The railroad equipment Blocks were firm in reeonse io the reports of Increasing disposition to place orders for equipment bv the railroads. That group van favorably affected by the further decrease of 1S.75H In the number tit Idle freight cars reported bv the Ameri can Car association for the two weeks end ing October u4. bringing the surplus down lo 115,036. The report gains additional force from the fact that a large decrease has occurred also In the number of "bad order'' cars by taking thein from the repair shops and putting them back to service. The flrat stages of the reduction of surplus cars was accompanied by increases In "bad order" cars, showing that surplus rars were being drawn on simply to defer repairs on cars In use. The present condition places beyond dispute the improvement which is occurring in the amount of railroad traffic. The cash gain shown bv the bank state ment in the averages was compensatory for tho under statement of that Item in last week's statement. The nominal cash in crease of the actual condition was the ac curate reflection of the known movements of money.

Re ceipts tor tho week have been quite liberal, showing il considerable gain over the pre vious week, although being a illtlo short of the record for two weeks ago and for a year ago. Other market points have been well supplied throughout tne week and the total number of cuttlo on sale at leading markets has been so large us to bring abol.1 a general reuuiiiuu In values. Die market beKiin breuklng the first of the week and while some Gays have shown comparatively liltio change the general ten dency lias been lower imoughout the whole week. Thursday the trade was in an es pecially bad condition, values not only be ing decideuly lower, but the trade ex tremely dull at the decline. Choice range steers, of which very few are coming, as a matter of course? did not show so much change, but the general run of fair to pretty good killers are all of 26c lower than last week, and it would be an easy matter to point out sales showing eveu mure loss tnan that. Cows and heifers broke down in about the same degree as beef steers, being gen erally 25c lower for the week, some kinds showing more loss than that and possibly some not so much, Tho market on stockers and feeders started out at the beginning of the week in very good shape, that is .speculators were tree buyers, especially ot tne good kinus. . Later on as the country did not buy as freely as anticipated and 88 cattle began accumulating in the hands of specu lators, the market broke rapidly, declining fully as much as beef steeis. Thursday's maiket was abcut the worst that has been experienced at this point In a long time. Caitlu In some extreme cases actually sold 50c lower man i lie speculators paid for them the first -of the week, and. It .was hard to move them eveu at that. No one will dispute that the geaeral market In all of 26c lower than last week, with some kinds even showing more loss than that. juotations on caille: Good to cnoice corn fed steers, W.txxii'.OO; fair to (rood corn-fed steers, $o.4oviti.ij; common to fair, corn-fed steers, S4.MtJ.o.oo; good to choice range steers, 34.25?fo.26; fair to good range steers, 43.76fu4.2; common to fair range steers, 33.0jf3.75; good to choice corn-fed cows and heifers, S2.5Og-l.C0; good to choice grass cows and heifers, SJ.Otig&oO; fair to good grass cows and heifers, U.(X3.ll; common lo fair cows and hellers, S-OWt2.50: good to choice stockers and feeders. 4.0Of(i4.40; fair to good stockers and feeders, $3.4l(gp 4.00; common to fair stockers and feeders, J2.5ihu3.4o; stock heifers, 2.2&ft2.76; veal calves, 12.75 ijS. 75; bulls, stags, etc., J2.(Kd 3.00.

SENATORIAL CFFICE FLATS Snell Quarters Pro Ideil for Members of the I pper House at Washington, Tlie senatorial office building, a dupli cate of thut built for members) of tho house of representatives. Is Hearing com pletion li 'Yashlngtoii. It will cost 34.000,01)0.. While it is the expectation, of Superintendent Elliott Woods that the new building will be at least as far along toward completion by December I as tlie house office building was on the corre sponding date last year, It need not be expected, that there will he any exodus to It from the cnpltol. There will be enough rooms and to spate In stlic new building for all thu senators when they choose to make use of them, and it will be possible lo assign duplicate quarters, if desired, for senators who prefer to retain their old oTflces Indefinitely, but who rpay wish to have their permanent offices In the new building assigned to them, at once. Thus they ran use either office, as they may find It convenient to do so. During sessions they are likely to prefer using the rooms in the capltol, as there will be less troublo In doing so, and when there Is a roll call they will not have far to go to get bock to the chamber' to vote. This plan Is llftely to simplify matters very much, and in time there will be many voluntary relinquish ments of the old quarters, which then can lie devoted to other uses as they may betjomo' apparent: or necessary. Some of the space In the new building Is likely to be required for various com missions now housed elsewhere, some times rather Inadequately. The immigra tion commission, for instance, is now lo cated in the house office building, but it Is likely to be assigned rooms In tlie sen ate building, and as its work may re quire Jt to continue in existence for sev eral years it will be given every facility for the transaction of Its business. Then there Is the monetary commission. It will reaire offices. Some of the commis sions 'not composed of members of con gress may also be given office room there if the senate sees fit to provide for them in that way. There Is no lack of room. ' In fact, pro vision has been made for needs thai may ariRe for years In the future. There is a whole floor on the Delaware avenue and C street frontage, with fourteen suites' of rooms, which will not be fitted up at all this year. As these are needed they can be made ready for occupancy with little trouble or delay.' In the general appearance the new office building suggests, as to- the wings, the facade of the Louvre In Paris and the long colonade was modeled on the general lines of the colonnade on the Place de la Concorde, but the architect made a free adaptation, using Roman doric columns In pairs Instead ot the sin gle Corinthian columns as seen in the original. Decorative effects have been used 'sparingly and with excellent effect, there being nothing to detract from the dignified lines of the perspective. Tlie rooms assigned for the use of the senators and their secretaries will have an elegant, but subdued effect, and . will be much like the business offices provided by large corporations for. the.ir officials. All the rooms will be furnished in ma hogany, toned with acids to give the tricloer effects which can otherwise bo gained only by the mellowing influences of time. The doors and trimmings will be Honduras mahogany, stained to a rich brown, while the furniture will be of African mahogany, naturally a darker wood, stained to a warm, soft red. All of this furniture was especially designed, being heavy, simple and dignified Ini ap pesrance, with little carving. Each room will have a marble mantel, above which will be a large mirror In a heavy gold frame.. On the mantel will be a pair of electric candlesticks, which, like the central-electrolier and the six brackets or wall lights, will be of special designs in old silver. The hardware for the doors and furniture will be of yellowish bronze. The tile borders around the rooms will be about three feet In width, of white, with strips or. tho edges of alternate white and veined marble, the center being of white cement, which will be covered by big wllton rugs. There will be a plaster cornice In each room, and a plaster cen terpiece in the celling. The walls will be left dead white, and each senator will be able to suggest the particular scheme of wall decoratlun which will meet his fancy. Much careful considerate n has been givci to all of these details, as well as to the, kind of rugs to be used, which will be woven In three or four designs in Worcester, Mass. The electric wiring Ir elaborate and carefully thought out. Tlie desk may be placed either in tho center of I tie room or by the w indow, wires being placed in the floor at both places for desk telephone, buzzer, electric fan and desk light. The telephone can alao be placed nt any one of several places on the walls. The rooms for tho secretaries are smaller and plainer, but the general scheme of finish and furniture will be similar- to lhat in Ihe senators' offices. As for tlie progress of tlie work. It Is now about finished as far as the public can observe.. Tlie interior finish is rapidly near- ItiK compleilun. Perhaps three-fourths of tho plastering Is done and nearly all of the woodwork trimming Is in storage await ing the call of the carpenters. Tlie tile setters have begun work laying the marble tiling on the corridor floors and the marble border In the rooms. In the handsome rotunda the marble work Is almost finished, and work has begun, or it will begin In a few days at most, on the roof covering the ' rotunda. The corner slips, broad, dignified, and with low risers, will be done by De cember. There Is much activity around the building, ii'id tlie work Is making satis factory headway. Perhaps It is hardly necessary to say that the new building will have practically every convenience which Is known to architectural skilt. There will be fast-running elevators of the best type, a restaurant and kitchen, barber shop and baths, large committee and audience rooms.' But there will njt be the refined luxuries which some writers have Boycc ewes culls Room 4. New York Lilt Bulldlnfl Margalng 1 cent n rraln. $2.00 on stocks.

' Melllsli was for years with Sir Henry Irving- He tells n story of the tragdlan which shows liov Hint great genius failed to enjoy the switching of Ihe calcium from lilm for even nn Instant. "It was at a Hum when Nnnsen,' tho arctic explorer, had Just returned, and ho was being feted and toasted arl over Lon don," s.tj s Melllsli. "One night hn occu pied the royal box at the Lyceum 'and when the news got back on tlie stnge'lhere was a great flutter In tho company, first It was Miss Terry who went to Sir Henry With the news that the great Nanseii was in front, then Pram Stoker told him Ihe glad tidings, then Tertiss Informed him lhat the theater had been so honored, ' an J to each Irving would simply Incline his head and agree politely with thtir praise ot the explorer. "Finally, toward the end of the per formance, after nearly- everyone In -tho company had told -Sir Henry of Nansen's presence and he had begun to get heartily tired of hearing all the attention glVeh to the explorer, one of the women supers, having' heard it last of all, rushed up. to Irving much excited. ' ' "'Oh, Sir Henry," she said, "have ydn heard the great news? Nansen. the great Nanscn, the arctic explorer, Is oilt In front. Oh, Sir Henry, Isn't ho a wonderful man?' ... " 'Yes,' said Sir Henry, turning a colli eye upon her, 'truly a wonderful man. ' He stands tho cold so well.' " 1 ! A Politician's Heady Reply. .
