10 COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL Professior Mtarting Buying, FORMER COMMODITY BECOMES LIVELY Wheat Market Has It Down at the rpool Cables Induce Bulls to Take a Hand. CHICA Oct. 20.~Buying by profes- slonals gave corn and oats strength inde- pendent of a sagging wheat market today and December wheat closed lg@@%c lowor, December corn l4a%c higher and December oats W@%e advanced. Provisions closed ¢ lowqr. “orn developed the most activity it has wown In 4 week, mainly on a drive by the wull clique Influenced by a depressed aheat opening De mber started Illl(’lll.ll_fi'('ll fo u mhade roat S6C o H6N@OHC. Liverpool cables indicated a comtfortable incrense In prices and when there was a considerable demand by shippers and com- missfon houses and but a scantly supply wherewith to fill it the bulls started ia to push prices upward. The sagging wheat market retarded this advance at times, but December sold to ii%e just before the end of the session, closing firm %@%e higher at 67Tl Receipts were 21 cars. Cables were indifferent in the wheat mar- ket at the penin nd December started unchanged to a shade lower at 7i@illyc. Early advices had it that drouth still con- tinued In Argentina and prices rose a shade from the opening figures. A quantity of long wheat was absorbed before cables wnnounced the end of the drouth and then there was a_scurry to unload, Under this pressure and influenced by a dull mark prices declined, being steadled at times only by the strength in corn. December wagged to 0%@i0%e and closed weak, wi@ o Tower ut Tow@Tic. Local receipts were 40 cars, 2 of contract grade Minneapolis and Duluth reported S50 cars, making a total for the three points of 15,109 cars, egalnst 92 last week and 767 a year agn. Frimary receipt were 1,250,600 bushels, compared with 632,000 bushels a year ago. Beaboard clenrances in wheat and flour were 465,000 bushels, The seaboard reported 11 loads taken for export. Hradstreet's re- orted the world's visible supply increased 954,000 bushels. Oats were fairly active eurly, following the lead of corn. Scarcity of offerings was the early feature and December opened a hade higher. Shippers and commission ouses started the buying and were soon olned by professionals. December sold etween 38%c and d6%c and closed firm W@ Bc higher at 36%e. Receipts were 219 cars. Provisions ‘experfenced a_dull, “narrow market. Liberal receipts of hogs started an early decline, and free offerings of large quantities prevented a support on the strength of the coarser grains. French and English packers were the best buvers.

MOVEMENTS IN STOCKS AND BONDS, Northern Pacific Brokers Anot Day of Suspen NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—The pressure by the professional opérators in stocks yes. terday seemed to be considerably rellovod today. Their professional bretheren of bul- lish tendency added the incentive of livoly bidding up here and there. AS a conse- quence a considerable demand to cover short contracts made the market strong during the early part of the day. It was argued that with the easler tone of ex- change and the moderate views expressod a8 to gold requirements by the authorities of the Bank of France, the prospect of an onslaught Thursday of this week was con- siderably lessened. The announcement just before the close of the market of an éngagement of $600,000 {n Bold for shipment on ‘Thursday precipa. ated a sharp realizing movement and wiped out a ood part of the eariler ad- vances. Another $2,000,000 engagement was announced after the close. It was notable that stocks that were weakest yesterday were foremost, as a rule in the recovery today. The recovery did not reach to the full extent of yesterday's loss at any time. The upward reaction was achieved also on considerably smaller volume of business. There was an expectation this morning among the small speculators at least that formal announcement might be made dur- ing the day of an adjustment of the North- ern Pacific difficulty.” This expectation was again disappointed. = Competent observers of the situation belleved that this might be a daily ncident for some time to come, as consultations on this subject are con: stantly held, but with much to be agreed upon. Among the day's speclal movements the sensational rise in Michigan Central re- {ived the rumors of coming developments in the Vanderbilt group and was reflected in sharp advances In other members;of the group. Michigen Central sold yesteeday at 116, an advance of several points over the preceding sales In last Ma¥ch. Toda; it sold in 100 share lots successively at 11, 120, 125, 135 and 140, after which it relapsed to 130. ' No explanation was forthcoming of the movement. In consonance with the upward move- ment of prices the prevalent view of the money outlook was less pessimistic, al- though conditions in_that market remain the same. A number of favorable condi- tions which were ignored yesterday in tho selling_movement came In for considera- tion, eupectally the continued trade activity as reflected in the large bank clearings throughout the country and the sustained increase in ~rallroad earnings. "Reports today of September net earnings showed an (ncrease over September of last year of some of the important syste as fol- lows: Atchison, $423,966; Reading. $80,303; Northern Pacific, $363.227; Erie, $80%.29%, and Chesapeake & Ohlo, $31,7%. Amalgamated Copper was the only stock to recover all of yesterday's decline. The closing was dull’and heavy at the reaction. Rallroad bonds moved narrowly and were Possibilities Give {rregular., Total uales, par value, §1,826,000 Inited States new 4s declined % per cent on the last call. The mmercial Advertiser's London financtal cablegram says: The stock mar- ket opened weak today on the position of the various monetary centers. Consols dropped to 9111-16, but recovered to 924 on {mproved exchanges, Paris baing %.064 and erlin 20.39%. The tone of the market finally became heavy on the shipment of £140,000 In gold to the continent, of which £80,000 was a late shipment yesterday. American stocks opened depressed and stale, the bulls realizing on the copper situation and the hitch in Northern Pacific lans. The market hung back until New ork bid up Southern Paclfic and the coal- ers. The close was cheerful but inactive, Rio tintos dropped to 461-16, which, with weakness in Amalgamated Copper in New York, 18 causing the opinion to gain ground that the movement in Amalgamated Copper is a ruse.

' The demand on the part of kers was of liberal proportions, 8o that a good lively market was experienced- and very satisfactory prices wero paid. There were comparatively few corn-fed steers in the yards this morning and pack- ers_ went out early and bought up every- thing at all desirable at strong prices and in some cases sales looked considerabl higher than the same kinds have been seli- ing for of late. The commoner kinds, while not in as active demand as the 'better grades, sold for fully as much as they did yesterday. There were right around sixty cars of cows and helfers on sale today, but the demand was fully equal to the supply, 50 that trade ruled active and steady to strong prices were paid all around. The same as was the case yesterday, the mar- ket looked considerably higher in spots and the situation could probably best be de- scribed by calling the market strong and calves and stags were also in good request this morn'ng and strong prices were pald for anything desirable. Btockers and feeders made up a good pro- portion of ‘the recelpts this morning and he quality of the general offerings was not articularly good. “The few to cholce eavywelght feeders and also the cholce yearlings sold without much trouble at right close to steady prices with i'uterdny. but the commoner kinds were neglected and in most cases sellers had to take a little less for them than they have been selling for of late. There was an actlve demand this morn- ing for western beef steers and the mar- ket could be quoted strong and active. The better grades in wome cases Sold a little higher than the same kinds brought yes- terday. Range cows also commanded good strong prices, but stockers and feeders were slow and lower except where the qual- ity was very good.

It was practically a $.00 market, comparatively few sales going above fhat figure, and on the atart but few loads 80ld under It. A few of the cholcer loads, of course, sold from $5.824 to $6.00, while some of 'the less desirable bunches went from $.77% down. It was not a particu- larly active market, but still the hogs kept changing hands and the bulk of the offerings was out of first hands in good season. . Along toward the close the trade took on a little more life and the last hogs sold for fully as much as the first ones and in some cases the close was a trifle stronger, 80 that the pens were cleared by the middle of the forenoon.

The tour of Inspection which the officers and directors of the Rock Island are now making over the lines of the company in the west and southwest has given a fresh impetus to the reports that it is the inten- tion to extend the road to California. The Rock Island's extension southwest from Liberal, Ka to El Paso Is nearl: completed and will be opened for busin by January 1. This extension, in connection with the Southern Pacific, will give the Rock Island a line from Chicago to Los An- geles nearly 200 miles shorter than the Santa Fe and a still further reduction in mileage can be made if an {ndependent route west from El Paso Is bullt. Surveys for such a line, it is sa¥, have been made as far west as Yuma. The line is to run through Phoenix, Ariz., and the people of that place are making great efforts to induce the Rock Island to build the road, as Phoenix {s not now on any direct line, but can only be reached by branch lines of the Southern Pacific and Santa Fe roads. Sev- eral short lines between EI Paso and Phoenix have lately changed hands and are 1d to have come under the control of Rock Island interest: During the last week there have been conferences between division superintend- ents and managing officers of al of the largest western systems for the purpose of devising ways and means for handling the big trafic now offered in the most expedi- tlous manner. The superintendents of all divisions of the Milwaukee road were called to Chicago last ‘week and conferred with the general freight agents and with President Earling regard- ing fmproved methods for handling freight quickly. On the Burlington orders have been given that through freight trains make few stops as possible, cutting out stops at all but the important points. On this line all make few stops and these trains will be ollowed by others that will attend to the “plek-ups.” The following promotion and appoint- ment on the Milwaukee road have been announced: G. R. Morrison, who has been trainm: ter of the Racine & Southwestern division and of the Illinols division, has been ap- pointed superintendent of the Chicago & Council Bluffs, the Illinols and the Racine & Bouthwestern divisions in Illinols, with headquarters at Savanna, Ill. He s a brother of W. R. Morrison, confidential man in the president's office. F. D. Tucker has been appointed train- master of the Chicago & Council Bluffs, the Illinols and the Racine & Southwestern divisions in Illinols, with oMce &t Savanoa. A Fort Dodge dispatch says it is rumored on excellent authority that the Illinois Cen- tral rallway will, on the first of the month, put on two new tralns, running over the Minneapolis & St. Louls rallway, to Minne- apolis and St. Paul. One train, it is sald, will run to Omaha via Fort Dodge and the other will leave the Minneapolls & 8t. Loulseat Albert Lea and will run to Chi- cago via Waterloo and Lysle. THE REALTY MARKET.
