NEW YORK STOCKS.

NEW YORK, Oct 16.-There was nothing to
ind cate any urgent covering Of short con-
tracts in todays market as is very often
customary at the close of a week of bear
campaign. The market showed firm tone
during the greater part of the days trading,
but the fluctuations were very narrow and
best. The losses were in sympathy with a
of point in Chicago Gas, which was the
most striking demonstrat on by the bears
during the day. Both parties in the market
seemed equally apathetic. There was a good
buying in the two leading specaties-Chicago
Gas and Sugar-the former equally attributed
to purpase of inside interests to asquire
stock and a vancouver to squeeze the shorts.
NJ ssouri Pacific suffered to some extent, prob
ably in sympathy with the drive against
Manhattan. Union Pacific exhibited some de-
preston on account of the expressed criti-
cisms of the minimum bid, agreed to by the
government for the satisfaction of its claim.
London was a buyer on balance today to
small extent and afforded some support to the
market. None of the leading stocks show
improvement in net changes, but most of
them are gains. Total sales of stock today
were 800 shares: including: Burlington,
S,205; Louisville G Nashville 3,610; Northern
Pacific pfd, 5,425; Rock Island, 1926; st. Paul,

The performance which has been de-

Partisan charity. There was at first
some hesitation about giving char
ity performance in building the pre-

MARKET SUMMARY.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-It was a case Of dog
eat dog in the wheat market today. From
the scarcity Of December offerings and the
quickness with which anything was taken,
badly congested condition in that option was
indicated. The close was firm at a lie ad-
vance Rains West and disappointing Liver
pool cables caused a slight opening decline,
the only weakness the market displayed. Corn
was firm but closed unchanged. Oats were
a shade higher at the finish. Provisions were
weak principally from the yellow fever scare
and closed 59121zc lower. There was gen
eral selling out of wheat by timid holders at
the opening Of the market, December start
ing at from 81 to 911kc as comared with
closing price of 91as@911ac for the day be-
fore. The weakness was short lived. how
ever, as the lower prices stimulated strong
buying and caused a rally of lc per bu In
very few minutes, December advancing to
9214c. The December future sold at 2Ac
premium over May. Revival of the old rumors
that Russia would prohibit wheat and rye
exports and that France would abolish its
import duty on wheat created little bull
ish furry an hour after the session opened
and December advanced to 92kc while the
news was circulating. The Northwestern
receipts were LIS cars at Minneapolis and
Duluth, against LAO "a week ago and S35
kets aggregated 1902 900 bu, against $4,000
bu for the corresponding day year ago.
Chicago receipts were 1873 cars. Liverpool
opened sd higher but closed only I'D high
er for near months to 1sd lower for deferred.
Paris closed unchanged to 10 cent.mes lower
for wheat, but 10 to 40 centimes higher for
-four, and Antwerp quoted wheat unchanged
to 121a centimes higher. The advance for
the day was tempting enough to induce many
owners of wheat to sell out and take their
profits rather than carry the property over to
next week. The result was a slight reaction
from top figures. December was selling at
9214c at the close.
There was a fairly active trade in corn,
with shorts again liberal buyers. A large
amount of changing of December contracts to
May was done during the day. December
ranged from 27A to 263s@26a4c, and closed
unchanged at 267ac. The market for oats
was firm on a decidedly narrow trade, con-
fined mostly to exchanging December ranged
from 1875 to 1S1a@1S5sc, closing shade high
er at 1870. 1t was rather quiet day in
the provision pit. Stocks of lard are said
to be under 200 600 tierces; ribs, 13 COO 600 lbs
At the close December pork was 1212& lower
at $7.75; December lard, sc lower. at $4.271a,
and December ribs 10c lower at 81, so. Esti-
mated receipts Monday Wheat, 210 cars :
corn, 940 cars; oats, $50 cars; hogs, $4,000

of indignation:

King of Spain expects me to invite him
to my court he will be very much mis-
taken"'
The English have not impressed Queen
Wilhelmina too favorably, although
she was very fond of her English gov
erness, Miss Winter. The latter one
day gave her a map of Europe to draw.
When the work was completed her
youthful majesty had made Holland
larger than Germany while she had
reduced England almost to micro
Scopic point.
When the Prince of Wales was pre-
sented a few years ago, Wilrelmina
was very much pleased with his man
ner toward her. AS he was taking
leave of her, she said, with startling
candor:
"You are indeed a most agreeable
Englishman I did not think there

The important question of the young
queens marriage is still unsettled. Sew
eral suitors for her hand have ap-
peared, but so far she has discouraged
them all. About year ago it was an
nounced that she had been betrothed
to Prince Bernard of Sake Weimar.
The prince, who is two years Wilhel-
mina'S senior, is shy and diffident, and
unattractive in personal appearance,
and she protested against the sugges-
ton of q union with him, although her
mother is said to have strongly favored
it.
"I am in no hurry to we'd" Queen
Wilhelmina is quoted as saying, ''and
I propose to take plenty of time in Sc

they must not expect to have any voice

He leered at the clerk for a moment, and
then began:
''Whash apples wuth, sonny?"
