Chicago Change

Chicago, Oct 16.-It was a case of
dog eat dog in the wheat market today.
From the scarcity of December offering
and the quickness with which anything
was taken a badly congested condition
in that option was indicated. The close
was firm, at 1 cent advance. RAINS
west and disappointing Liverpool cables
caused slight opening decline, the on,y
weakness the market displayed. Corn
wcs firm but closed unchanged. Oats

Dry Goods.

New York, Oct. 1.-THE week has been
unsatisfactory in dry goods. Sellers,
however, do not believe that the contin-
uance of quiet conditions Is to be ex-
pected. The wea kness in pnint cloths has
had a bad effect on the market general
1y. In all staple cotton lines the demand
has been quiet. Brown mediums are
firm and in quiet request. The market
is firm in ducks and Osnaburgs are quiet.
Coarse colored goods are without fea-
ture in any grade. Prin cloths are quite
dull, considering the easy market Prints
and ginghams are firm. Wooden and
worsted goods are without change.

New York, Oct. 6-The Financier says:
A feature of the statements of THE as
ISOLATED banks of New York city for
the week ending Oct 16, that attracted
some attention was the shrinkage in
loans. 1t is rather difficult to explain
the loss except on the theory that there
has been a great deal of liquidation in
stock exchange business, and an ahaly-
sis of THE items of the individual banks
shows that the loan changes in two
large institutions-the National Union
and the National City banks account
for the difference reported since the pre-
vious week.
The effac ct Of the gold imports is shown
in the increase of specie. The gain of
legal tenders-the first expansion in this
item since Aug. 2S-seems to show that
the interior movement is nearing an end.
This is not exactly the case, although
the decline during the week has been
less than usual and the treasury de-
mands have been light. All the gold i'm
ported last week does not figure in the
totals, so that 1t IS reasonable to sup
pose that the position of the banks so
far as cash is concerned is stronger than
Indicated. The statement points to an
easier money market in the absence of
any marked activity in speculation, and
the official statements of the national
banks of the United States as published
last week, showing their strong posi-
tion with reference to reserves, strength
ems this view.
The rising rates for money abroad
and the continued ease here foreshadow
situation such as prevailed last sea-
son, when the United States loaned large
amounts to Europe on sterling bills. The
quotations for money in New York and
London are undergoing changes which
will probably place foreign above do
mesitic rates for some time to come

Birmingham, Oct. 16.-Wheat opened

pool cables which indicated that mar
ket as barely holding its own in view OF
our advance yesterday. Reports OF rain
throughout the west ana southwest
where thsy were apparently most need q,
and northwest receipts were very ltpeIai.
The bulls, however, had the weekly ex-
ports of 6039, 900 bushels on their side,
together with the belief that the rain
was sufficient to materially affect the
drought infected regions and light local
receipts. December opened at 91Bc,
split and advanced instantly to 92Ac.,
mainly on the supposition that there was
very little wheat for sale. There was
slight reaction on a further advance 10

Stock Letter
New York, Oct. 16.-The stock market
was dull and professional, with little
commission house business. London
was again a moderate buyer, the trad
ing element was encouraged by the
higher levsl in British capital, and 1T re-
garded the long poStponement OF the
hearing of the Joint Traffic association
case before the United States Supreme
court as a bull card, as it will permit
the association to operate a few months
longer, even If the suit is finally decided
against the railroads.
Chicago Gas enjoyed rally on re-
ports of a settlement with Mcmillan
syndicate, and Sugar was generally
strong. Consolidated as rose sharply
and held most of the gain. The best
prices were not held quite to the end.
The bank statement was regarded as
favorable and the market firm.

New York. Oct. 1.-THE trading. In cot
ton this week has resulted in an inn
portant decline of 40 points. The break
has been due to the weight of cotton and
lack of buying power, and is in no sense
the result of aggressive selling. Liver
pool was weak again this morning, The
market declined 21s to 3-64ths. Our mar
gSet opened to 10 points lower in SYM
pathy The shorts bought heavily on all
weak spots after the opening, and the
bulk of the loss was recovered. There
was nothing of bearish nature in the
chronicle and report on the weeks prog
ress of the crop. January opened at 6ll,
rallied to 6.15, declined to 6.10 advanced
to GIT and closed at SIG to 6.17 with the
tone of the market steady. A break of
nearly half a cent per pound in the tone
of bullish bureau, comparatively mod
crate receipts, continued poor crop ac-
counts and an intensely strong statisti-
cal position shows the unbounded faith
of the spinners of the world in a mon
ster crop. On what this belief is based
we are unable to see, but that 1t exists
and that the majority of consumers have
determined to become active buyers only
in every bottom, Is ind )ubtedly true The
decline, in so far as it has been, is based
on poor trade receipts from abroad. The
pressure of actual cotton in the south
and the fear that the guarantees have
caused great congestion of supplies
which will soon pour upon the market is
logical enough. We think, however. these
low prices discount the real deprezsi g
factors, and we believe that practical
Scent basis of prices should prove at
tractive both to the spinning world and
to the speculative investors. II spJnners
will refuse to buy except most sparlngly
and specu1ating continues to ignore the
apparent cheapness of cotton pr-ces VIII
sag lower, but we think the staple Is
selling for less than tt is worth, ana we
do not believe that this condition can
last long. RIORDAN & co.

Ex-senator Chace'S Views on
the Curtailment Plan.
Business Bad Enough, He Says, But
II is Improving Slowly.

IL IL announced that the mills OF Black
stone Valley which include the immense
manufacturing establis hments Of Chace
and the Goddards will not enter into any
agreement TO curtOil production Tor the
present at least.
Ex-Unite1 Stat s Senator Jonathan
Chace who was the chairman of the COM
mittee which ordered the curtailment Of
prod uction of all the mills in the coun-
try. last spring, said in an interview that
the manufacturers of the Blackstone Val
ley would not, at present at least, consider
any agreement for reducing the output
of the mills. His companies, the Albion
and Valley Falls, would not, ne said, be
party to any agreement looking toward
the Lonsdale mills and other corporations
of which the Goddard brothers are the
principal owners would also refuse to de-
crease their output.
Cuisines is bad enough" said Senator
Chace, "but IL is better than il was be-
fore election and it is slowly recovering.
The fact that the amount of wheat con-
sumed In the country fell off, during the
hard times, from between five and six
bushels per capital a year 20 four bushels,
shows tnat tine people ate less. The cotton
consumption decreased in about the same
ratio. 1t is now slowly Increasing"
