CHICAGO, Nov. .-Predlctlone of . a lllwral Increase of the visible supply total on Monday gave an advantage todav to the hears In wheat, and so also did a anod deal of the wild guessing ahot the reasons for the departure of Earl Kitch ener from London. The market cloeed unsettled at the same a yesterday fin bI to Ho lower, with leoemler at II.IHU uUV and May at ll.us4. Corn closed a shade oit to V4ftio up: oals at 1-lbo down to a like advance, and j.roviirfons unchanged to 5c higher. Announcements that primary receipt of wheat today amounted to l,od0,00u bush els more than on the coiresimndlng; day a year ago had much to do with niaklnn the bulls uneasy In resard to the extent of the prospective etilargnnkont ot the United btates visible supply figure. big total for the preceding day of the week, with, estimate that Chicago and K annas City would each have as many a 600 carload arriving Monday acted a a further discouragement for holders, who were also hanulrapped by surmise current that .nr Kitchener mlKht at tend a peace conference in Bwltxerland. The uncertainty a to his real mission, left the way open for a variety of other rumprs, too, that In some degree tended to have a bearish effect on the market la'e In the session. Iteports that the French government had bought 1.000,000 barrel of flour In the United Stales furnished strength to wheat throughout most of the first half of the day. Forecast of unsettled weather likely to Interfere with receipt j. roved also of aome effect toward lifting irit-s. but the Influence failed to last, being offset by complaint that the win ter crop southwest waa In need of rain. Corn averas-ed hlkher a a result of bullish crop reports from Iowa and ow ing: to export demand ty way of the gulf. '1 he market, however, reflected somewhat the late weakness la wheat. oats continued to keep firm within a narrow range. Export Inquiry waa good. Active buying of lard helped provision upgrade as a whole. Tank lard, whUh ma long ago could not be sold except at under the January option, was at a tllrcount today of only 4ic. M, r-.h l4.

Aa compared witn a year ago there is an increase ot U.uw head. Cornfea Peeve have been coming more freely tula week, th most of them being on tn warmed up and half fat order. A few choice beeves put In an appearance anu they are tuny steauy wim a week ago. a hlgn a HO.Ou having been paid tor th beat cornfed yearlings. Th com mon to pretty decent corufed worked steadily lower all the week and are now Ib'uioo lower than a week ago, the cause for the decline being the competition front range beef. Uood grass rangsrs have been fully steady throughout th week and In active demand. In aplte of the fact that feeder cattle have been lower. Common kind are possibly a Ut ile easier than a week ago. Cow and heifer have been in mod erate supply and good free seller all the week. They axe at the present time a little stronger so far as the beat grade are concerned compared with a week ago, with other kind fully steady. The greatest change ha taken place In the feeder market. For some reason or other, possibly due to the fact that th weather 1 vary favorable for picking corn, country buyer have been In light attendance. The market. In the face of large receipt, steadily eased off for the lack of buying support than at the close of last week.

LONDON, Oct J6.-Th quota system which Lord Kitchener la said to advocate a a compromise between the present voluntary enlistment gystcm and con scription I a historic method of raising troop, for it exlated In EJigland from Saxon time down to th year 18S3. it la now merely, suspended, not dead.

FORTUNES INJHE MAKING Features of the Crue for Gambling in War Stocki on Wall Street FATE OF FOEMXS 0 AMBLERS "Wa n make a fortune over night!" The public la Invading Wall atreet Thousand of men and women ar tak ing part In a wild scram bis to buy "war tocka." From the stories which the whirlpool of speculation la blowing- around broker office It would seem a alrapl matter to find th rainbow's end and pick up a pot of cold. Profit of 115.000, 8.10,000, r-O.OOO or 2100,000 have been mad on the puroha of a mall lot of Bethlehem Steel, Gen eral Motor or any one of a number of other atock which hav advanced any where from 60 to COO point. Broker' book show an aggregate of thee small winnings amounting to mil lion of dollar. Will the "paper profit" bo converted Into mor aubatantlal form of wealth or be dissipated in a frensled effort to ac quire additional wlnnlnngsf That' th question professional speculator ar ask ing', but th publlo ha not time to par ley with professional speculators. While old-time operator In Wall street have been art and In g on the aid line shaking their head disparagingly, th publlo ha taken the market by storm. What la the use of wasting time talk ing when there Is money to b had by action T Buyt Buy! Buy! Th profit will tak car of themselves). Such I th stock gambling eras weeping over th court try. Nothing like It ha been witnessed since the great bull market which marked the "trust formation" period, about fifteen yea4fj On that occasion the people rushed to buy the stock of this or that company on th rumor it would bo taken Into one of the great Industrial combine then in process of organisation, Just as In the last week they have bought up the stocks of concerns which are reported to have been favored by large order for munition and war supplies. Jest Like Old Time. It la the same now aa It waa then. Wherever you go, wherever you chance to be riding In a subway or in Pull man car, dining In a fashionable uptown tea room or in I downtown lunch club wher pretty young- girls employed In near-by office buildings congregate for their noonday meal. In the cafes as well as the lounging: room of millionaire' club everybody la talking "war stock." Women as well as men are discussing the merits and financial, prospect of Indus trial concern of which they knew noth ing; a few weeks ago, whose existence they probably never even auspected. It is surprising; how much knowledge has been accumulated in such a short time.- The affaire of these companies are now dlacusaed familiarly by thousand who are expecting' to make fortune in "war stock." ThU concern ha received an order from th allies tor millions upon millions of dollar worth of shrapnel, J this on a huge contract for gun barrels, and still another for hundreds of auto mobile trucks.. Th profit arising- from these colossal transactions, presumably amounting' to many million of dollars, have been figured down to a nicety, and th fact that om ot th stock which have advanced In the moat aensational manner par no dividend doe not in the least seem to dim th luster of their pos sibilities aa Investments In the eyes of those who are buying them. - Jn the same way fifteen years ago, when th Flower Interest, the Morgan Interest, the Moore, John Oates. Daniel Reed and other member of the "tin plate" crowd were buying up steel mills, paper mills and various other Industrial plants over night and making them ur.lts of great Industrial combine, th publlo eemed to get the inside track of these deal and speculated on the outcome furi ously and recklessly. Then It wa largely a case of following- the movement of men who were doing big thing In an Industrial and financial way; now it' a case of following war order. Th mar ket ha no leadership. Clamor of the Crowd. Step Into any one of the large broker age office In th Wall atreet district and the excitement attending; the public's wild plunge Into the stock market Immediately becomes apparent The reserve and dig nity maintained In times of calmer mar kets have been taken off, rolled up and put away In cold storage. The office manager Is running from one telephone to another, order ar shouted cross th room to th man In charge of the private -Aire, the telegraph Instru ments ar running a neck-and-neck race with th ticker, both seemingly Imbued with the Importance of the message they are carrying- to thousands of anxious, half-erased speculators. The board "markers," nimble as they are In slipping Into place the little num bered card that Indicate th upward or downward trend bf prices, frequently fall behind Lb tap and call out the quotations. "Baldwin Loco, now IS, 130." , "What's thatT" some one yells, and for an Instant all In the room ar at atten tion. In another moment some other stock forges to the front, eclipsing Bald win Loco., and so It goe all through th five hour of trading. Over tn one corner of the room a num ber of customer ar seated around a table. In the center of which is a ticker housed under a rounded glaaa cover such aa protected th wax flower group on the parlor mantel In the old homeatead. They are too Impatient to wait for the board "marker." With heada close together they ar bent low over th mysterious Uttl piece of mechanism which ha such powor to fasclnat and rob peopl of their common sense. Pvsry now and than a trader who ha put tn an order to buy or sell a certain atock atmoat tear th tap out of th ticker In hi eagerness to learn how th market la going.

PROFITS FROM PRESENT WAR Unexpected Wladfalla Line af Triad Hitherto 84rag;llaar Break Eras. Many year will elapse ere some trade and businesses In th belligerent coun tries recover, If they ever do recover, from the effects of this devastating- war. In other trades those which are supply ing the materials required for the war fortunes are being made every day. In England stoppage of sport cricket, foot ball, racing, etc. has resulted tn the makers' of sporting requisites toeing nearly all thetrtrade. Few people buy such luxuries as jewelry nowadays. The clothing- and drapery trades have been hard hit and the glass and pottery trade ar seriously affected. On the other hand, many manufactur ers who formerly made articles of luxury hav adapted their works to necessary goods. Motor car manufacturers hav reaped a harvest by concentrating; their attention to war vehicles Instead of pri vate cars, and th boom in military motor-driven vehicles Is such that new works are being erected aa rapidly as possible. People concerned In th making of sandbags, too, ar reaping rich rewards, for B.OCO.OX) are required for the British force every month, while the demind for army clothing and boot has kept the woolen trade working- at high pressure and caused Northampton to flourish as it has never done before. The thousand and one thing required by th soldier have resulted In a boom In many trades which th average per son ha never heard of. For Instance, there waa never such a demsnd for boot laces, underclothing, socks, buttons, car tridge belts, razors, knives and forks. blankets, jampots, harness and hair combs, to mention only a few of th necessaries that are being- bought whole sale every day. Again, some enterprising manufacturers hav made small fortunes out of the supply of such things aa but- . . . .. . . . I (una, osage, swagger canes, tins in ; which to pack gifts to troop at the front, khakl tie, and so on. Great profits hav been mad In the coal trade, but perhapa greater In the shipping Industry, -wher the demand for freights has been such that Immense fortunes have been made. ' During the laat few months the value of steamships haa been going up by leaps and bounds. Remarkable prices hav been realised for second-hand steamers, which ar con stantly being sold for more than they coat to build. Philadelphia Ledger. France to Increase Amount of Pensions (Correspondence of the Associated Press.) PARIS, Nov. 1. "Our pension laws will necessarily develop an Importance equal to those of th United States after the American civil war," says Deputy Pierre Masse, reporter for the pension commit tee of the chamber. "Those laws," he adds, "will carry auch heavy appropria tions ss to exercise a greater Influence social and political than all the social legislation of recent years." Two important reforms are proposed Jn pension bills that th commute haa re ported favorably. The pensions of widows are to be Increased - proportionately to th number of orphan and pension wilt be granted to mothers for the loss of son who were their main support The rate provided for by th new law ar from 663 franca ($112) for widow of prlvat soldiers, running from that figure through the various grades up to 6.250 francs (21,050) a year for the widow of a general of division; these figures being subject to Increase In the caae of orphans. If th soldier or officer died of wound not received tn battle or of disease con tracted while on duty the pensions run from 276 francs (275) to 2.500 franca (2700) a year. No statistics of th number of killed and maimed in the French army are available to the public, but the Indication given by Monsieur Masse, who know, re to the effect that France' penJoa harden will be heavier than that of the United State after the civil war.
