DEALINGS PR—OIESBIONAL New York, Oct. 17.=During the greater | part of today's active stock market trading | was conducted on an almost steady advance in prices. In the last hour, however, much of this galn was Torfeited, the list closing with an irregular undertone. Tt wan u matter of general comment that dealings, which again approximated large total of 1,340,000 sharcs, seemed main- ly of a professlonal character, lacking the Investment demand of recent weeks It in not unlikelyoghat the selling at conces- slons toward . the close was precipitated in part by a sudden rise in call money to 4 per cent, No speclal reason offered to account for the hardening of demand loans, but lant woek's bank statement, which showed a fur- ther pronounced contraction of reserves to the lowest figures since the middle of the year, may have been the Impelling caune.

CORN PRICES GO HIGHER / Omaha, October 17, 1916, An_ excellent demand for wheat contin- ued today and the market ruled from lc to 1%c higher, The receipts today were not very heavy and most of the samples wore disposed of long before the close of the cash market. The best grade of hard wheat sold at $1.67@1.57% and the general run of No. 2 hard sold from $1.56@1.67 and the bulk of the No. 3 brought $1.55@1.55%. The strong export demand stimulated in- terest in the local cash market and thero wan also a good milling demand for durum and mixed wheat. No. 2 durum sold to- day at $1.60% and the No. 3 grade sold around $1.6841.69. The No. 4 hard wheat ranged In price from $1.50 to $1.56, but there was only a few cars of off-grade wheat on the tables and the sample hard was quoted at nominally unchanged prices There was a pretty active demand for corn and pricen on_ this cereal wore quoted from %e to 1%c higher. The receipts of this cereal were very light and the sam- ples were quickly taken up at the advance in_prices, Yellow and white corn of & commercial quality sold around $3@83% and the mixed corn of the same grades sold at 22% @A2c. The oats market was very dull during the early trading hours, but the sellers let %o about the close and the bulk of the samples were sold. The market generally was quoted % @%c higher, the No. 3 white selling %ec above the bulk of yesterday's offering: The trade in rye and barley was very quiet and both of these cereals were quoted Wheat and flour, equal corn, 28,000 bushels; oats, 841,000 bushels.

Chicago, Oct. 17.—Sensational advances in the value of wheat resulted today from wild rushes to buy which accompanied s big broadening out of export business. The mar- ket closed excited at nearly the topmost figures reached. Not gains were 5%c to Tc a bushel, with Deecmber $1.63% to $1.63%. and May $1.64% to 31.64%. Corn finished 1%c to 1% @1%c higher, and oats up l%ec to 1%c. In provisions the final range varfed from be decline to a rise of 1bc. Persistent buying on the part of for- elgners tended to the wheat market upward from the start, but it was not unti! the last hour of the session that prices went skyrocketing in good earnest. Estimates atter the close indicated that since yester- day Euro had acquired more than 2, 500,000 bushels of wheat from the relatively meager supply in the United States. In this connection reports were current that the British government borced vessel rates on tic down from 28c a bushel to 10c bending all_energies to lessen the erwine of handiing wheat shipments from this country. Such reports put shorts and other purcha into & turmoll that was but little if any abated when the gong cleared the pit. Smashing of Argentine wheat crop esti- mates as a result of drouth seemed to have much to do with the increased European de- mand, having reached a point today which made’ the exportable surplus of Argentina seem #o incredibly low that the forelgners were withheld pending verification. The ef- fect on the trade, howeyer, was nevertheless sers ny a rodically bullish 'and was rendered more sa. by news of heavy snowstorms in Cana. where threshing, ‘only halt completed, w sald to have been brought to a standstill. Tlere also were Indications that both French and Itallan import needs would be greater than was the case last year. Besides, war news was not of a sort to encourage hope of an early peace, especially advices just be- fere the close of the day's trading that the Russians had suffered a severe defeat in Gallcla. Corn was lifted by enl mand. One Rouse alone was sald to have alsposed of about 450,000 bushels to Europe, although strong and active, seemed to rely paralleling the action of other cereals, Higher quotations on hogs and grain car- ried provislons up grade throughout nearly the entirel list.
