CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—Large sales for export to-day and report of damage to crop in Mani- | toba and Australia caused a sharp rally in | wheat prices after an early decline. Decem- | ber closed i higher. Corn and oats also | responded to Influence of inclement weather | and scored good advance, December corn and May oats galning ¥ @%c each. Pork lost 2ic, lard & and ribs 2%@sc. Stormy weather throughout the West and Northwest, a little uneasiness over the war situation abroad and reports from the sea- board of a continued good export demand for | wheat started the market strong. Easler mar- kets abroad and fears of a large increase in the visible supply which were afterward veri- fied caused a period of uneasiness shortly after the opening. There was a flood of bullish news later, however, which caused a general stam- of the early short sellers. Reports from York were to the effect that exporters were buying December wheat freely, with the ocean freight rates advanced to 13 cents to Ant- werp, w is considerably above the highest Leiter an r figures last spring. The reason given for the advance was that 500,000 bushels had been engaged for export to-day and that there had already existed a scarcity of vessel room. Minneapolis sent reports that her flour le: enormous, with the cash wheat mar- w Kot strong, and that the Manitoba crop had heen damaged in shock to the extent of about | 6,000,000 bushels by the incessant rains of the | last thre weeks. Receips were liberal, Chi- cago recel g 311 cars. against 284 last year, and Minneapolis and Duluth receiving 1672 cars, compared with 1494 for the same day a vear ago. The primary market receipts reached total for the day of 2,158,000 bushels, against 1,480,060 for the previous year. The visible supply increased 2,368,000 bushels for the week and shipments of wheat from Russia last week were 2,165,000 bushels or 200,000 more than for the week before. Continued reiteration of the reports of damage by drought in Australia and | by wet weather to the wheat in shock in Mani- toba finally carried December up to 64%c near the close. There was a big trade in corn and prices cored a substantial advance. ‘Wet weather throughout the corn belt with its prospect of Further cutting down the receipts from the country was the leading influence. The visi- ble supply increased 2,361,000 bushels last week. R ipts to-day were 1194 cars. December opened upchanged at 30%@lc and advanced to 213;c sellers, the closing figure. Oats followed the other grains. Recelpts were cars. May began a shade higher at 23%@ | c and 23%c, advanced to 23%c and closed at 23% T 23%c. Targe receints of hogs here and atall other ng points caused a easy feeling in pro- January pork opened Gbe lower at rose to $9 sold off to $9 12%, and losed at §915%.

The stacks in process of calclnation and local treat- ment at Keswick were increased, as only 72,000 tons of ore were smelted, producing 4329 tons of copper in matte, which has been sent to the New Jersey works to be refined. The delivery of fine copper from these works during the pe- riod was 3980 tons, of which 2800 tons were marketed, the balance being still in process of treatment for the separation of its gold and ver.

There are 162 tons of ore in the surface bins of the assay value of $39 97 per ton per mine car samples; also 558 tons and pounds of low grade ore, deposited on the ground near the orehouse, averaging $10 03 per ton per mine car samples. ~Work in the mine was sus- pended July 15. Superintendent Lyman in his Treport recommends further prospecting on the 1750-foot level. In his report Superintendent Ross states that he has devoted the greater part of his time to collecting data for use in the plans for draining the lower levels of the Comstock lode. Part of this data has been sent to manufacturers of pumping and electrical machinery to enable them to bid for the unwatering of the Comstock flooded levels. Since Stperintendent Ross _took charge no work has been done underground in the mine. On the surface the work has been confined to caring for the property of the company, which is in good condition. Nothing of any value was found in the ground worked by the company on the Bruns- wick lode during the past year. STOCK AND BOND EXCHANGE. MONDAY, Oct."17—2 p. m. Bid. Ask. Bid. Ask.
