CHICAGO. Oct. S.-Rxpectatlon of a sub
stantial increase Monday in the visible sup
ply of wheat operated to prevent a rise
In prices today. Moreover Argentina news
waa lesa unfavorable as to the crop out
look. The close vaa c lower to -c higher
than last night. Corn finished MitiVjc to 140
up and oats unchanged to 'o advance.
There waa a net decline of WijZbo in
hog producla. I'nlooked for support devel
oped in the wheat pit during the last hour
of trading. Rumors of (Jreece recalling Its
representative at Constantinople and of a
frost visitation In Argentina were the
causes, but neither atory was confirmed,
and Indications that the total amount of
wheat In alght throughout the United States
would show enlargement proved a decided
weight on quotations near the end of the
session. ,
Karller In the day rain was reiwrted In
a portion of drouth stricken Argentina and
there was selling of cargoes from that
country at Liverpool. The close was steady
t intermediate figures. December ranged
from 7TiO to 8V4a&8H. finishing 40 net
lower at 8340.
The corn market tightened up when early
sellers tried to buy back. December fluc
tuated between 49o and 49Hc, with the last
aalea WAc up at 49c, Cash com waa
steady to o lower. No. 3 yellow closed at
tCS &2 Vic.
In oats there was much covering by
shorts of the larger sort. December Bold
between t2W32o and 33c, closing at ex
aaMy last night's figures, 82.
With hogs weak and support lacking,
provisions sagged all day. Final quotations

NEW YORK. Oct. 8. -(Special Telegram )
Trade developments of the week were not
Influential In the. stock market. The Sep
tember output of pig Iron showed an aver
age dally Increase over August, although
production was on a falling market. Th
copper statistics appear to show a better
adjustment of production to consumption,
with a consequent strengthening of the
market. Stocks, not only copper, but the
entire list of stocks, has acted as thougn
tho market was thoroughly sold out and
even oversold. The course of prices as
Interpreted by the speculative community
has been bullish.
The bond market was less active during
the last week than was the stick market.
High prices have been paid for mw capital
supply, wtih a large amount c' r.ew sure
ties impending.
The railroad and industrial corporations
have authorized an aggregate of about
$2.2.:.M,noo of new bonds, notes and stocks
In the first nine months of the year and
have Issued about $1.aa..uoO,oi0, leaving more
than $1,000,000,00 of new capital to be
raised out of the offerings authorized.
This does not talvfe Into account bonds and
stocks Issued for the present quarter. Otlmr
demands on capital must also be taken Into
account.
Terms of New Capital.
The terms on which new capital Is being
obtained suggest that the actual money
market of the world is far less abundant
than the quoted rates for temporary credits
Indicate. As yet forelk-n discounts and
home quotations for time loans either on
Wall street collateral or commercial paper
do not express a threatened state of string
ency. Foreign financial centers continue to re
port loan Increases and cash decreases
among reserve institutions, Just as the
market has done here. In Wall street
money has ruled easy at and below 6 per
cent and apparently a good deal of credit
! available in the call loan market on
these terms. Events of the week show that
a large shifting of loans was conducted,
lenders are reluctant to lock up funds In
anything else than the call accommoda
tion, many of those who have large Inter
ests In the mon ?y market claim.
Government futures of cotton condition
puhliHlicd at the beginning of the week
made the average Ub 9 and did not point
to a crop of any such slxe as would re
store the difference between the world's
demand and supply which was so severely
disturbed in the last twelve months.
There Is a disposition in Wall street
quarters to regard the strength which cot
ton prices have been displaying aa the
token of a rank speculation for the rls.
There may not be enough cotton this sea
son to meet the world a requirements by
2,ono,000 bales.
The output of corn, wheat and oats Is
large enough to gratify. The corn crop
will very evidently be the greatest on
record, but at going prices the yield of
less than 3,000,000,000 will be worth lees to
the farmers of the country bv $200,0n0,0o0
than was last year's harvest of the same
staple.
To date the western packing of hogs Is
and financial record of the vear, the
activities of the farmer, the liquidation
which has occurred in sureties and In some
lines of Industry and trade, will have on
the costs of living and the costs of doing
business.
o date the western packing of hogs Is
2,000,000 less than in the corresponding
period last year, and bacon will hardly
be cheaper this winter than It was last.
High prices and higher wages offer no so
lution for the problem of rising business
and living coHta.
rne railroad earnings for the month
showed a proserous state of business,
taken as a whole. , The August returns of
the Norfolk & Western, the Missouri, Kan
sas Texas and the New York Central
systems were depressing exhibits In that
they showed that Increased traffic was
costing more than It was worth. On the
other hand the Illinois Central saved prac
tically all Ita gross Increase, and for the
nrsi two montns or ihsj fiscal year made a
net gain in excess of Uie gain In gross
earnings.

CATTLE There were mors cattle here
today than usual for a Saturday, fifteen
cars being reported, but the must of them
were consigned direct to packers and not
offered for sale, so that there waa really
not enough cattle offered to make
a market. For the week receipts
foot up 36,812 head, being a fall
ing off of almost 10,000 head as com
pared with the samo days last week, and
over 4,000 head as compared with a year
ago. To put it another way. the receipts
this week have been the smallest of any
week alnce the last week in August
Owing to the reduced supply ot range
beef steers, there was no treat change In
the market, and prices at the close are
generally steady with one week ago. On
the other hand, cornfed steers have been
very slow sellers all the week owing to
the very unsatisfactory conditions pre
vailing In eastern consuming centers.
Packers have all neglected the more ex
pensive cornfeds In favor of the cheaper
grass beef, and, aa a result, cornfeds are
around oftjjOOo lower than they were ten
days ago. Ths decline on this kind of cat tle
has been general at ail points In tho
country.
Cows and hslfers have been In brisk de
mand all tho week, and, as receipts have
been moderate, the market has been in a
good, healthy condition, and at ths close
of the week prioes are Just about steady
wnn one wees. ago.
The market on stackers and feeders has
been rather disappointing, as the country
demand has not proven as large as an
ticipated. There never has been a time In
tha history of the market when more
strangers visited the yards this week.
but unfortunately, the most of them
proved to be lookers rather than buyers,
and the market was more or less of a drag
all the week, with prices at the beginning
considerably lower. During the latter half
of the week ths buying was a little more
active, with the result that a pretty fair
clearance has been made and the decline
of the early part of the week recovered.
Thus at the clase of the week the market
Is Just about where it was one week afco.

HOOS The last two days of active buy
Ins and higher prices In the hog yards
were mors than offset by today's market
one of the slowest and lowest of the season'
Supplies were limited, but one or two of
the larger buyers were out of the trade al
together and others Insisted upon 20i(25c de
clines. Lower advices from outside points
gave additional force to bearish pressure
and movement finally started at the reduc
tions noted, a few selected loads going at
lesser declines of lbMc Trading was dull
from start to finish and It was almost noon
before anything like a clearance had been
made.
Light hogs were none too plentiful and
moved more readily than heavy and heavy
mixed. Hest lights on sale brought 8.7 as
compared with yesterday's high price of
9.00. Heavy hogs sold around 48.1043 8 26.
While receipts during ths week wars vsry
moderate, demand has not been very re
Hponslve ss a rule, and the tons to trade
was uncertain throughout. JCarly trade
was lower, but much of ths loss wss re
gained Thursday and Friday. Today's
slump wipes out all of the late Improve
ment, however, and current sales averags
up about 26&50c lower than those of a week
ago.

SHEKP For tho first time In several
weeks, the sheep and lamb trada Is closing
with a few doubles, largely feeding lambs
still In first hands. Nothing fresh was re
ceived today and values remained un
changed. Prior to Thursday the trade showed little
change In any of Ita branches. Supplies
wbre heavy at all times and while the run
consisted mainly of feeders. Inquiry from
country buyers was active and broad until
the last couple of daya. Mines mld-w!:
the tune of the trade has been quiet with
dally clearances only fair and the trend of
prices a little lower. Several local factore
are credited with the dull finish, among
which might be noted the lure of ths car
nival, recent scarcity of cars for the de
livery of feeders and the faet that killing
gangs were off duty Thursday afternoon.
Ths first two reasons caused much ot the
late slssnanov In feeder trade, while the
last was r (.pons't'le for cautious buvlng on
the p.irt tif ktllrrs.
All ktmls of feeders did not share In the
decline, however, as certain grades were
too scarce to admit of reductions. While
feilin wethers, romtnon feeding ewes snd
medium weiitht feeding lambs are closing

FOREIGN BANKS AND COTTON
Attempts to Make Americans Assume
All Klsks United States Can
Kluaoee Crow.
BY PRESTON C. ADAMS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 8 tSpeclal to The
Bee.) Ons of the most Interesting features
of the commercial situation today Is the
controversy over the endorsement of cotton
bills of lading and there are those who, of
the opinion that before It is over, there will
be some changes which will have far-reaching
effect.
The foreign banker has played a pretty
prominent part In the handling of the cot
ton crop heretofore and has made a very
pretty profit out of It In order to avoid
losses for which he himself has been largely
responslebl because of loose business meth
ods he has tried to make ths American
bunker assume all the risk of loss.
Nobody hsj oven accused the New York
banking fraternity of being "come-ons"
when the chase of the nimble dollar Is con
cerned, so they have been quietly getting
things in shape to flnanco the" cotton crop
Without the Sid of ths foreigners, aeammlnir
the risk all right but incidentally the profits
ss well. . .
The foreigner must have American cot
ton. So largo a percentage of English work
men depend directly and indirectly upon
the product of our southern fields that al
though cotton is not a fool England would
starve If Its supply of American cotton were
cut oir. i lie continent of Europe takes
more American cotton than does Oreat Bri
tain. That the United States Is able to finance
its own cotton crop there Is no doubt. New
York banks have. In the past, been repre
sented as being antagonistic to cotton. Such
a claim can no longer be made. There is
a smau group of banks In New York very
much Interested In ootton today. A few
years ago they were verv little Interested
These banka are stronger than all the banks
ot Liverpool and have probably resources
bh great as all the foreign banks that have
for years been Interested In cotton. There
will be no trouble In financing all the cot
ton raised In the south without the aid of
foreign inoney. The man with the bale on
the street will find the money In the local
bank to buy it The question of ths financ
ing of cotton merchants Is another matter.
If foreign banks wish to withdraw from
cotton it will effect Individuals and lnter
eats, but It will not hurt the farmer. Tha
rerson Injured most will be ths foreign con
sumer. Tha American money that will go to fi
nance the crop, If the foreigner Is through
with the business, msy not be as cheap as
foreign money certainly Its sympathy will
not be with the bear side of the market to
the extent that of foreign money Is and
all this will tend to Increase ths price of
cotton.
People who have been complaining of the
high cost of living as reflected In wheat
corn, beef, pork and cotton prices, will
soon find a now cause for complaint Shop
keepers have begun to Issue warnings that
coffee prices sre destined to rise.
The advances In price which are likely
to take pluce soon will not be brought
about by any trust, nor will tbey be con
fined solely to the United States.
They will be the result entirely of condi
tions In the world's coffee market, which
in the last few months have developed In
a decidedly Interesting manner. Through
a combination of circumstances, raw eoffes
prices are now higher than at any time In
many years; here In New York tha Coffee
exchange "spot" price Is 11 rents a pound
for R.o coffee, unroasted, aa contrasted
with 9 cents a month ago, 8 cents thro
months bko, 7 cents a year ago, and (r
cents eighteen months ago. Tha abrupt
advance In the last month has not yet led
to a corresponding rise In ths prioes of
roasted eoffee by retailers, and, for the
most part roasters have not yet advanced
their prices to correspond with the higher
cost to them of the raw berry, but It Is
clear that the roasters have had their
firoflts cut down sharply liecause of the
ligh price level which coffee has attained,
and some of those who did not lay In a
sufficient supply when prices were lower
have begun to protest that the coffee mar
ket Is "cornered."
That New York warehouses contain large
snpplies of unroasted berries Is admitted.
Alltogether there are some 2.9U0,0o0 baus
stored here, but some of these, t400.0iio
bags, are hypothecated under the Brazilian
"valorization loan" of two years ago, and
cannot under any circumstances be sold
now. This leaves an available supply on
hund of 900.000 bags to cars for the con
sumptive demands of tho remainder of
iiu, .'on mis supply, sven allowing for In
crease through shipment now under wav
from Brazil, Is far below normal. A year
ago the supply at this time was double
evuuw Dags.
These figures apply only to New York,
but they reflect conditions In all of ths
world's markets. Supplies of tha raw
berry are unususlty low, and as roasting
ueiuanus exenea supplies, mere Is a con
stant diminution In the available surplus.
Were the coffee that la hypothecated
against the Brazilian loan to be sold. It
unquestionable would right matters. in
Europe and the United States there are
t 250,u00 bags held back from market under
me provisions 01 ins loan. That '.mount
Is sufficient roughly figured, to suoulv
the world for nearly half a year. But only
certain amounts of this "vslorlzed" coffee
can be soia yearly, tho terms of ths lotvn
against whom tha coffee Is held being Im.
peratlve. The 1M0 supply has already gone
Into consumption, and because n more of
It can be brought forward under the
provisions of the loan until next year It
is easy 10 see wny some coffee people
nave been ready to say that there is 1
"corner."
The trustees of this eoffes will sell 700,-
