W YORK, Oct. 24.—The highest prices of | the season were reached in the wheat pit to- day. December sold up to 7T7%c during the reg- ular session and 7S¢ on the curb. The advance tollowed a weak opening and was based on a sharp drop in consols and a late advance in Liverpool cables resulting from a war scare. Local traders and foreign houses £old heavily around the ovening and were caught in the subsequent rise. There were export orders in the market, but they were affected by the big jump in prices and nearly 93 loads were taken ports. The visible increased 150,000 bushels, ‘where an increase of fully 1,500,000 bushels' had heen expected. This was consid- wholl d when the Jont Traf- | ercq significant as showing how rapidly e Jolr ered = ifica 10 ! the ol ced. the prices crumbled | flige Western mwovement 1t being transferred Do o8 ck of the bears without| out of the country. The total advance to-day Chere was sufficlent cover- however, to cause some sharp | weakness on the Joint Traf- 4 itself rather inconsistently Burlington falling an ex- eamong the granss treme Rock Island 1% and St. Paul 1%. The trunk lines on the other hand were not marked 1 showing the pri ith a dec f 1. This is the mc the trunk lnes, although the Joint Tr. nce Assoctation & legal status up to to-day, have n ad- mittedly un: to mair rates, while the ‘western r since the trai Missouri a: clation was outlawed, having devised other | means for maintaining agreements, have suffered much less from rate cutting. The | eelling of stocks for forelgn account Was re- flected 1 violent upward movement of ster- ling exchange, the a 1 rat rising fully & of a cent for the pound. The Continentals ex- nges on L were at the same time Tl g quite sha nd the open market di. count rate in L shgwed a hardening ten- dency. All of this was in line with the active ‘war preparations reported om London, and showed the effort of the British financk cen- ter to call n iding money sources. Not having any outstanding credits on balance against the United States, London €01d our securities freely with the same result. The midday reaction In the forelgn wheat markets was the or cature of the day that did not point to thr ing developments, and the later recovery and the continuance of large demand in American markets for export coun- teracted this. The manipulative rise in To- bacco continued and helped to sustain the price of Sugar. The bond market was active to a degree and ned in sympathy with stock: although the New York money market con tinued easy in spite of stringency abroad. Total sales, 52,310,000, Government bonds were unchanged. The total sales of stocks to-day were 360,- $00 shares, including: Atchison preferred 4, Burlington 26,490, Loulaville and 572, Ma , Unio Pacific preferred 11,94, Rock Island 7732, North- ern Pacific T Northern Pacific preferred 8450, St. Paul Southern preterred 339, G Tobacco 97,702, People's Gas hicago G.

CHICAGO, Oct. 24.—Wheat opened practlcally unchanged, but quickly began to develop symp- toms of unrest regarding the threatening as- pect of European politics. Prices started to advance, and in the course of half an hour the December future, which opened at 67%@87%c, had touched 6S%@68%c, the high mark that was_reached on the curb Saturday afternoon. English consols were practically unchanged at the opening, reflecting an absence of increased concern in financial circles over the Fashoda affair, but the Liverpool grain market was un- among grain speculators. The latter naturally had the most influence with the kindred market here and ordinary considerations were deprived of effect in the face of possibilities of a Euro- pean war. Liverpool opened with an advance of from 2%@3d per cental and closed with from 1%@2%d Det gain for the day. Around the noon hour the price took a further upturn from a drop of % in English consols and an increass of only 20,000 ~bushels in the visible, instead of 1,500,000 bushels, as expected. The market continued on the advance to the end, | and December finally left off at 70%@70%c buy- ers, a gain of 2%c. The same cause that Wheat had for advanc- a much smaller extent. On the hard spots, however, the offerings by longs were generous, and this had a_tendency to check the upturn: December closed with a gain of %c. The absence of shorts In Oats was account- able for @ slack trade and independent prices. May rose $@%e. pressed Provisions early. Later, however, this Was supplanted by the strengthening rains, and toward the close the early decline was more than recovered. Pork left off Tic higher and lard and ribs gained bc each.

NOTICE TO MARINERS. A branch of the United States Hydrographie Office, located in the Merchants' Exchange, is maintained in San Franclsco for the benefit of mariners, without regard to natlonality and free of expense. Navigators are cordially invited to visit the office, where complete sets of charts and sail- ing directions of the world are kept on hand for comparison and reference, and the latest information can always be obtained regarding lights, dangers to navigation and all matters of interest to ocean commerce. The time ball on the tower of the new Ferry building, at the foot of Market street, is hoisted about ten minutes before noon and dropped at noon, 120th meridian, by telegraphic signal re- celved each day from the United States Signal Observatory, Mare Island, Cal. A notice stating whether the ball was dropped on time or giving the error, if any, is published in the morning papers the following day. CHAS. P. WELCH, Ensign (retired), U. S.
