CATTLE-Our cattle market has been
handicapped this week with exceedingly
heavy receipts of common and tail-end
native stuff. While the receipts were
less than for the same period last year
there was heavy gain in native stuff,
and the loss is occasioned by light re-
ceipts of Western cattle. There has been
a good demand for all kinds of good cat
tie, with best quality yearling steers and
heifers the most sought after. Prices
ruled fully steady on this class OF stuff,
and also on the best stock calves, but
the common grades have been very slow
sale; in fact, practically unstable al
anything like satisfactory prices. There
was some little Improvement yesterday
and today in common stuff, but it had to
be almost given away in order to get it
out of the yards. The market has been
flooded with this kind of stuff for so
long that shippers would do better to
keep it at home, for it cannot be sold.
The supply of heavy feeders has been
limited and prices have ruled lower. Best
quality stock and feeding bulls have sold
quickly and at fully steady prices, but

CHICAGO, Oct 20-Wheat resumed its
downward course again today and De-
cember closed with loss of so &c.
Liquidation induced by heavy additions to
domestic stocks in the face of q poor
foreign demand was responsible for the
decline. Corn, oats and provisions were
comparatively strong and closed prac-
tically unchanged.
Heaviness abroad and free Argentine
shipments to Europe started wheat weak
and lower. The bears were inclined to
work within narrow limits, however, and
as the market at the outset was consd-
erably under put figures partial re-
covery followed IN buying gainst privi-
leges. Covering by shorts, owing to mod
crate domestic receipts and the strength
developed by corn, also added somewhat
10 the upturn. The liquidation however,
was of sufficient volume to prevent any
thing like an enduring advance, and as
the demand was short-lived the market
soon started on the down grade again.
The bears were disinclined to push their
advantage and trade finally became so
dull that for an hour in the middle of
the session there was scarcely any change
in price. Finally longs, who had been
waiting for an up-turn to unload, lost "a
thence and offerings becoming qu te
plentiful the market gave way under the
pressure, and ended up at the bottom Of
the days range. Indications of an in
crease Of 100000 bushels in the visible
supply this week FASTENED the decline
December opened 12c lower at 7G1ac, sold
sparingly at 70asc, advanced to IC%zc and
closed with sellers at 7014@10$sc.
Chicago received 159 cars two of which
graded contract. Minneapolis and Duluth
got 640 compared with 1903 for the cor
responding day last year. Total primary
receipts were 97S 600, against 1893 eco
bushels a year ago. Atlantic port clear
ances in wheat and flour eqraled $1,000
Argentine shipments this week were
1.4G4000, whereas none was shipped from
that country the same week last year
Minneapolis stocks increased this week
100000, and Chicago $4,000. Cash de-
mand here slew.
Corn was relatively strong and &C i've.
There was a slight dip at the opening in
sympathy with wheat, but this was soon
supplaated by a sharp up-turn. Husllng
returns unsatisfactory and a steady de-
cline in local stocks. in consequence OF
the excellent shipping demand Cnccur-
aged the general buying, but the weak
ness of wheat in the last hour had an
unfavorable influence and the advance
was lost. Receipts, 519 cars December

WALL STREET GOSSIP : New York
stock gossip, reported by H. Holbert &
Son, bankers and brokers, S41 Robert
building, ST. Paul Strong, Sturgis & Co.
wire US: There is decided dearth of
news in Wall street today. The yacht
race has seemingly called for a large
share of attention. The news from
abroad is of an encouraging nature, and
this is reflected in the price of stocks on
the London exchange, both for Kaffirs
and Americans, and the influence of that
strength is felt in our market. Locally
prices for securities generally are very
firm today. The Pullman-W Wagner lease,
with the attendant results on New York
stock very materially. The trading in
our market has been on very limited
scale in most stocks, and the volume Of
business will fall short OF yesterday
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and New York
Central have proved the most prominent
features. AS the money situation eases
and European difficulties look nearer an
growing here, and belief that the fu-
ture will show a much higher range OF
prices. While we share ourselves in this
feeling in measure, we are not ready 10
advise the free purchase of securities at
this time, and, believing that many things
can take place here to check this better
feeling, we still think caution advisable,
and that where fair profits are IN s!ght
bank statement does not promise any
great Improvement tomorrow, and we
think it will show about the same as
last week.

The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1899-10-21

NEW YORK, Oct. 20.-The point of
greatest interest in today's stock market
was the active speculation in Pullman,
which was rushed up after yesterdays
sharp reaction an extreme 9A points to
207A, q record price. The motive was
the official conformation of the merger
of the Pullman and Wagner Palace Car
companies which the stock tape has
clearly foreshadowed for some time past.
The published assertion that the Wander
bits are to get the Pullman holdings of
Boston & Albany and Boston & Maine
stocks as an incident to the deal, and
that New York Central would thus gain
control of New England railroad affairs
gave the bulls an opportunity for an ac-
tive speculation in New York Central
They lifted the price of that stock an eX-
IRENE 3$4. The influence of this move
ment on the rest of the list was marked
the other Vanderbilt stocks, of course
moving most closely in sympathy. The
bears covered heavily all through the
list. The prominent industrial specialties
were most affected, especially Sugar and
Brooklyn Transit, the dealings in which
were very large.
The hesitation which had been caused
earlier in the day by marked weakness
of the Glucose stocks, and by sympathy
of other industrials, was overcome by the
strength of Pullman and New York Cen
trail, and prices of the railroads rose quite
generally above last nights level. The
easing of the rate for sterling exchange
encouraged the rise, but it gave way to
profit taking in the last hour, when the
preliminary estimates of the movement
of money for the week appeared, and the
rate for call money stiffened to 8 per cent.
The most active stocks reacted a point,
and in Pullman the reaction extended to
nearly Z points. There was some rally
before the close which was firm and at
small net gains for most stocks. The
strength of the market however, was
not widely distributed, and in fact was
almost wholly confined to the few dis
tinctiVe stocks.
The banks have gained slightly from
