There was a derided change of sentiment
In, the wheat nit at the opening toduy from
at manifested at the previous close. The
wKft. cloard yesterday In a flurry of
buying bused on sensational report of
Uumige to the Argentina crop, but at the
opening today many of yesterday' buyers
were In a tamietle to sell owing to fresh
advices from Argentina which were less
bullish than prvvtous report. The failure
of the Liverpool market to respond to-
the advuuee here yealerdav also Inspired
fvcr selling. Price at the Btart were
6tWc to c lowor and before the end of
the first hour further declines of about
'V had lieen recorded. Following this
early activity, the market lecame dull
nd trading continued quiet the remainder
nf th session. Prices aiso failed to rally
from the early weakness and the market
closed at ulmiwt the bottom point, with
December at $1 and May at $1.034,. There
whs only a moderate demand for cash
wheat, hut premiums were a trifle higher.
According to a local export concern, there
ero few bids for wheat and the quoted

NEW YORK. Oct. 81. -The day s stock

movement on the purt of speculative hold
ers to get out of their holdings on the eve
of the presidential election. It Was the
supposition of olwervers In the neighbor

the powerful suet ulative leaders who hm-A
controlled tho recent market.

doubted. The extent to which a general
day from outside sources for stocks will bs
Biiriieica is what Is doubted. It was this
ooum that prompted the cleaning up of
speculative accounts which was In progress

ment yesterday. The circulation of re
ports of the closing out of some very
heavy accounts In Cnlted States Steel yes

heavy cuts In operating costs. It was con
sidered that the strength of these returns
would opernto against the attempt credited
to the railroads to bring about a general

surprise. The excess over the preliminary

CATTLE There was nothing In the
yard to make a market today and re
ceipts have been very light all the week.
The total, as will be noted from the table
above, has been a little more than half as
large as last week's large receipts and
very much smaller than a year ago. The
arrivals have constated almost entirely of
rangers.
Not enough cornfed steers have put 111
an appearance this week to make a test
of values, but what few have arrived have
sold quite readily at very satisfactory
figure. The fact 1 receipt of rangers
have been free sellers throughout th week
packers have been forced to pay more at
tention to cornfeds. There wa a fair de
mand for desirable range beef and the
market ait the close I 15cji26c higher than
the close of last week so far as the better
grades are concerned. This, however, does
not any more than make up for the de
cline last week. Common and Inferior
grades have been slow sale all the week.
The better grades of cows and heifers
have been free sellr throughout the week
and price on such are safely 26c higher
than last week's close. This practically
wipes out the decline of last week. On the
other hands canners and all Inferior kind
of cow atuff have been alow sellers, with
very little Improvement in prices. The life
and activity which ha characterized the
tanner trade for some weeks back has to
a great extent disappeared.' The tendency
at the present time Is to widen the range
between common canners and good to
choice killers.
Blocker and feeders were very active
sellers during the early part of the week
and prices advanced sharply. At the close
some little weakness has been developed,
as is very apt to be the case at the end of
the week In that branch of the trade. Still
prices are safely l&'ul&c higher than the
low point last week.

HOGS Receipts of hogs were very small
again this morning, and aa the demand
wa good, pretty much everything changed
hands in very good season. Under the In
fluence of free buying, especially on the
part of shippers, the market advanced b'tt
10c over yesterday. A good share of the
hogs sold at $5.bo'.jo.75, and on up as high as
$0,811. ,
While pi lees have fluctuated back and
forth to some little extent this week, the
general tendency has been higher and tlie
prices paid today were generally .TV bet.
ter than last week. In fact, the market
lodfiv Is at llie highest po'iil touched since
October 13. when hogs sold on an average
al $5.79 Receipts throughout the week have
been extremely light. aP hough a few hun
dred larger than last week.

this morning, but the total receipts Tor
the week have been quite lloeral, snowing
a laigu gain over a year ago, although
smaller than last week. As noted yester
day, the market throughout tlie wick has
oeen in a most satisfactory condition, as
viewed from a seller's standpoint. The de
mand haa been active every day and prices
strong, especially during the first half of
the week, although some little weakness
was developed later on.
A considerable proportion of the arrivals
this week have cotisislrd of feeders and
the interest in the trade has centered
largely on that class of stuff. Th coun
try appeared mote anxious for supplies
than last week and the market on some
das was nut only very brick, but prices
looked high. At the chase of the week it
Is safe to quole feeder lamb. 25c higher

reported al Chicago Thursday created
feeling of weakness, but it was not suffi
ciently pronounced to prevent the mar

above.
