Exports OF Wheat for the Week Fall OF
Nearly 100000 Bushels-German Crop
Reports Work the Market - Chicago
Crowds Needed Amusement.
CHICAGO - Wheat ruled weak during
most of the session, but rallied in the after
noon and closed at a slight advance. AT
the start there was an effort to stiffen prices
largely in the interest of the bears, who
wanted to make strong spot TO sell on, but
it proved to be very hard work and when
the props were removed the decline was
easy.
The news was nearly all bullish The ex.
ports for the week showed falling off of
nearly 2GO0, 600 bushels from those of the
week previous, while foreign markets were
reported weak ana lower. New York dis
patches quoted declining market there with
exporters reselling and accepting losses. St.
Louis was also weak, and the resale of 100-
900 bushels lot recently bought for export
was noted. A private caple noted great
weakness in Berlin due, it was said, to the
more favorable condition OF the German
crops crops as ass shown by the Govern

was generally bearish and sold short
During the last hour trade became excessive

close yesterday, but broke with Slight re-

97Ac, but in the final dealings, ON covering
by shorts, was bid up to and closed at 9734c.
Corn showed good deal of strength early
on the good shipping demand and the free
speculative buying. with only moderate re-
ceipts. There was not much offered at the
start and higher prices ruled for a time, Oc-
tober selling from 1870 to 509sc. But on the
advance the offerings increased and wheat
breaking and more liberal arrivals reported
for Monday there was break, October de-
clining to 1910. During the last hour the
market hardened and closed at SOC, against
1870 Rt the close yesterday.
Oats were quiet and steady early, but
weakened later with corn, became very dull
and closed little below Yesterdays close.
Hog products were weak and lower, owing
largely to a weaker hog market at the yards
and the weakness in the gJain pits. Ream
was also vigorously bearing the market.
There was a recovery dnring the last hour,
mainly on covering by shorts, and the close
was without material change from yester-
day.

EVENTS IN SPECULATIVE CIRCLES
DURING THE WEEK.

Advances Scored by Everything on the
Active Hst-The fractions Become the
Leaders,of the Market-A Still Hunt for
Philadelphia Gas.
Events of the week on the local stock
board, while involving neither radical
changes in value nor large volume of bust.
ness, were of a nature to show that the
strong financial corfdition of the country is
beginning to impress Pittsburg investors.
The entire active list finished from good
fractions to points better than the opening.
Sales on call were 1866 shares against 1876
the previous week.
Closing prices of the week, as compared
with those of the previous Saturday, show
the following changes: Philadelphia Gas
gained II, Wheeling Il, Central Traction q,
Citizens Traction Il, Pittsburg Traction z,
Pleasant Valley H,. New York and Cleveland
Gas Coal Il, Electric "a, Switch and Signal S.
The fractions were easily leaders of the
market in activity. Over 7c0 shares of Birm-
ingham and Pleasan tValley were handled
These stocks, owing to their close connec-
tion with the prosperity of the city, and the
prospect of the friction that has long sub
sisted between some of the companies, are
beginning to take the position in the market
to which they are rightfully entitled. The
prospects of the Duquesne were materially
improved by the decision of Judge Magee.
There was quite still hunt for Philadel-
phla Gas stock by q few who are looking Tor
ward to the resumption of dividends, but
less than 800 shares of it were picked up.
The bears have quit using the decreasing
supply" argument, since it is generally ack-
nowledged that the stock of fuel is as large
as 1t has been any time within two years.
This seems to be the opinion of holders of
the stock, who, for the most part, are keep
ing it Off the market.
The expected boom in Electric did not
materialize, although it received enough
support to put it up nearly a point 1t is
said the reorganization scheme is about
consummated, and that the new stock will be
ready early the coming month.
Sales yesterday were 20 sharos Of Central
Traction at 205I, 10 Luster at 12A, and GO
philadelphia Gas Mt l13s Final bids and
asking prices for the week are appended.
