ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-The stock market
&lmost reversed the course Of yesterdays
market, without any change in the char
acter of the general outlook of news. The
bears made further very successful raids
during the day, and found numerous weak
spots. the decline in some stocks uncover
ing further stop-loss orders and spreading
decentralization far and wide throughout
the list. But the aggressive mood of the
bears disappeared during the afternoon.
and in the latter part of the day steady
hardening of prices set in which carried
the level of the market quite materially
above last nights close. The days range
of prices was very wide, net declines at
one time ruling from one to three points,
the latter in sugar, which was very active
and erratic all day. The recovery left
prices from one to five points above last
nights close. The fluctuations of the day
are thus seen to be very weak The liqui-
dation during the decline was heavy, and
the volume of trading on the rise showed
a marked diminution The operators for
the reaction seemed to be satisfied with
the declines they had achieved. and their
purchases to cover short contracts were
instrumental in affecting the recovery.
But there were also evidences of some
buying for long account. Very firm re-
sistance was encountered in some Of the
stocks which had shown greatest weak
ness. This was markedly true of Chicago
gas, in which buying was very large and
prominent. This stock during the day
went as low as last nights close, but the
final sale showed a net gain of 45s, show
ing yesterdays heavy decline more than
recovered. Sugar was the object of spe
cial attack by the bears, after an opening
gain of one point, and was forced down
at one time over four points, but recov-
cred to about last nights level. The move
ment In the general list was to large ex-
tent in sympathy with that in those spe-
cialties. The stocks of southern and south
western railroads showed less res,stancy
than those of the general list, owing to
the decreased earnings disclosed by late
statements as a result of interruptions
from yellow fever quarantine. There We're
reports during the day that further gold
engagements would be announced towards
the end of the week but none are known
to have been made up to this time. The
actual rates for sterling exchange show
a decline of Il for last nights close, fore
shadowing a further gold movement.
Otherwise there was nothing in the news
of the day to change the general situa-
ton, and the striking movements of prices
can only be ascribed to purely technical
causes. Net gains are near a point in
many prominent railroad shares, and ex-
tend to two points in Omaha and Della
ware and Hudson, and one and a half in
Northern Pacific preferred

Henry Clews, in his financial circular
dated New York, October 9th, says:
In the securities market the past week
has been unsettled and irregular. The eff
fects OF the two weeks of realizing and
decline are apparent in more con-
servative feeling and disposition to fol-
low the course of the market rather than
to force prices and to hold on for fresh
rise. There is no doubt that, during the
late reaction, very considerable amount
Of long" stock has been distributed by
capitalistic owners, who have been wait
ing an opportunity to liquidate and who
were satisfied with the large advance in
prices of the three previous months. Those
realizingS have materially changed the po-
sition of the situation. The men of large
means and influence who have thus liqui-
dated are no longer behind the market
with the sustaining power Of their pres
tige and their various resources for sup
port. They are rather outside of it, and
more or less influential in discouraging
bull influences, in order to replace at lower
prices the stocks they have parted with.
Perhaps few or none of them regard the
upward movement as having touched its
apex; nor is it likely that they have re-
tired from the market: but, as intending
buyers, they are willing to allow free play
to all influences calculated to enable
them to buy in again on favorable terms.
Thus. for the moment, the market has
lost much of the impetus 1t had previously
received from many influential "bull''
leaders.

CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO Oct. 13.-News affecting the
wheat market was about evenly divided at
the opening. Liverpool cables were slight
~ lower at the outset. There was also n
London Times cable saying that rains had
practically assured the Argentine harvest
and that 37,O00.OOO bushels would be ex
ported from the crop December which
closed yesterday at 90h opened today at
9oAM9Oss. There was quite influential SELL
ing for time, Influenced mostly by the
breaking of the Argentine drought and a
slow decline to s9%i resulted. BY II o'clock.
however, the complexion of the market had
changed. President Hill of the Great
Northern railway estimated that his line
would not have over 40, 0O0 900 bushels of
wheat to carry this year whereas 10000 900
had been figured on. The estimate was
based on harvesting returns. which were
very poor in some localities. Northwester
receipts were moderate. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported 962 cars, against 1908 last
week and S67 year ago Chicago re-
ceipts were 163 cars. 1t developed as the
day advanced that the local crowd had sold
too much wheat. An attempt on the part
of the local shorts to cover brought out the
fact that offerings were very scanty. This
put the trade in very good condition to
receive the report of export engagements
at New York and out ports of 800. 900 bush
els. One of the most bullish items of the
day was the Beerbohm estimate that the
worlds available supply had only increased
100000 bushels during last week. This was
5000. 900 less than Bradstreet had figured it.
A New York exporting firm reported that
1t had bought over 1.000 900 bushels within
the last three days. official closing at
Liverpool, Antwerp and Paris was lower
but it was reported later that the curb
market in Paris was up quarter of franc.
Altogether the trade showed more strength
and activity than it has shown for some
time. December wheat by o'clock had ad-
vanced to 91la cents, and it was bringing
91k at the close
Corn started very weak. Cash demand
was unsatisfactory. December ranged from
2S to 273s cents, closing unchanged at 277s
G2S.
Oats was firm at the opening, but de-
clined with corn. December ranged from
1915 to 19a4@19%. closing u cent higher at
1875
Provisions started weak. in sympathy
with a to 10 cents lower hog market at the
yards. Prices were at the highest point at
the close, however. December pork was
l21a higher at 7.72h; December lard 2is
cents higher. at 4.25; and December ribs
71R cents higher at 4.771a.
