Sugar was strong on the decision OF the
treasury department to hold Dutch refined
sugars conditionally liable to the counter
vailing duty which applies to imported
sugars upon which an export bounty Is
paid. Chicago Gas derived strength from
rumors of compromise with the threat
ened competition. The market showed
considerable increase of activity as COM
pared with the last few days, but was still
almost purely professional. London
changed from it's recent attitude and sold
stocks here. Additional reports of railroI
earnings for the second week in October
all show handsome increase, and many
vague rumors were af1oat of still more
striking improvements to be shown In
statements. The long movement of cotton
along lines recently released from quar-
antine restriction was shown by reports
and gave strength to the railroads affected.
The exchange market continued firm and
the local money market easy, the small
withdrawal of American eagles from the
Bank of England for shipment to New
York not being considered of Importance.
Some business is being done in the placing
of loans on long sterling, which is in ef-
rect the lending of money abroad. This
naturally tends to keep up the rate of ex-
change. The continued ease of the local
money market and the large resources In
hand by interior banks, owing to the large
payment OF debts following the crop move
ment are the inducements for thus defer
ring the movement Of gold this way. Bonds
were strong in sympathy with stocks. One
100000 block of Union Pacific collateral
trust notes was sold at &c. and another
block of 100000 at the same price. Total

the tone was steady. Americans were es-
pecially good, and closed quiet at the best,
though the support was only professional
The dullest market was in .Brazils. which
were fiat on the report that negotiations
for the sale of certain Brazilian state rail-
ways to foreign syndicate have been
suspended. am informed in credible quar-
ters that the sale of American eagles by
the Bank of England is really for Germany,
the reason given being that. owing to the
ightness OF many of the sovereigns with
drawn, 1t pays better to take eagles at the
present price, The amount of eagles with
drawn today was $4,000 pounds, and the
total amount of bullion taken was 72.000
pounds.
A cablegram from the Financial News
New York correspondent attracts much
attention here. 1t affirms that New York
banks have loaned to London a large
amount of money on long sterling bills.
Evidences of this are very scanty here
at present, and wonder is expressed as
to how such an operation can pay with
discount rates at 2ha per cent. The Paris
and Berlin markets were quiet.

ON 'CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-Todays market
looked very much as though an effort was
being made to test it for a rise. Many of
the professional traders have concluded
that liquidation has about run it's course
and there has been cessation of the bear
campaign. Opinions have differed among
the professionals as to whether conditions
in the stock market are ready for a sus-
tanned advance in prices again. The bears
made an abortive effort early in the day
to raid the market and directed an attack
against Sugar and Chicago Gas. The fail
ure of the raid encouraged the bulls to
aggressive action and there were indica-
tions of the temperance in the market
Of some of the long buying interests which
were prominent in the late rise of the mar
ket. This professional buying carried the
prices up, net advances throughout the list
ranging from one to two points. But the
bulls were apparently satisfied with a
short turn and they commneced to sell to
realize profits about alf an hour before the
close. This carried prices down in some
cases below last nights close and where
net gains remained they were in almost
each case fractional. The success of the
bears was frustrated in part owing to
special strength In Sugar and Chicago Gas.
upon which they relied to work a sympa-
thetic decline in the balance of the list.

Silver Bullion

NEW YORK. Oct. 2O-Bar silver, 59A
Mexican dollars, 454.
SAN FRANCISCO Oct. 20.-Bar silver
59ss; Mexican dollars, 45%M4614.
LONDON, Oct. 20.--Bar silver, 27ssd.
NEW YORK. Oct. 20.-The price of bar
silver in London rose BIG of penny today
and in New York the price rose " cent
This carries the price above the rally OF
September goth, when it went to 27Ad in
London and 59M cents in New York. The
days prices of silver have not been equaled
since July 21st. when it was 27 7-16d in Lon
don and 59a cents in New York The pres
ent strength of silver is attributed to vari-
Gus causes. There is at present a good
mintage demand in London and there Is
also some covering of speculative short
sales. This is coupled with present scare
ity of supply. The Indian demand for sill
yer also continues good.
The amount Of bullion withdrawn from
the Bank of England today was G72, 00O
including e52. 600 in American eagles.

CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, Oct. 20-Wheat was steady
at about yesterdays closing price and for
a few minutes after the opening 1t was
subjected to some bearish influences that
caused it to decline one cent per bushel
during the next hour. May was not as
weak as December during the time re-
ferred to, owing, it was supposed, to the
action Of the bull clique, who as on the
day before, sold December at or above
81 cents and bought May when 1t was
weak. The comparative firmness during
the first few minutes was because OF a
further reduction in northwestern receipts
and steadiness of the Liverpool and Paris
markets, both of which quoted. prices un-
changed from the previous days closings.
Heavy rains were reported in Argentina.
The Liverpool Corn Trade News revised
its previous estimates of European re-
quirements, making the amount only 27.-
0OO 900 bushels, instead Of 12S. 600 900, as pre-
viously calculated. That had some de-
pressing effect, but more serious news was
the reported sale at Duluth Of 100000 BUSH
els No. l northwestern wheat to Chicago
for delivery on December contracts, which
was made possible by the higher prices
ruling here. This rather staggered the
trade. December opened at substantially
yesterdays closing price, 90M@91. and be-
fore the effect of the Duluth transaction
had worn off decline to 9Oh cents had
taken place. Bradstreet's report on the
worlds visible supply showed an increase
of 4,271 200 bushels. About y o'clock the
market began to show signs of firmness.
Corn was steady even when wheat was
weak in the forenoon, and was very firm
later, when wheat advanced. There was
considerable buying on the theory that a
reaction was about due, following the re-
cent heavy decline.
Oats were higher and firm at the ad-
vance. Trading was not important, the
firmness being due principally to light
offerings.
Provisions were steady on small
amount of business. The continued bat
reports from the yellow fever district
caused a small opening decline. Shorts
were good buyers and the cash demand
was considerably improved. The firmnes
of wheat and corn helped toward the end
