Chicago, October 23.-Grain: Liverpool
closed 4 higher, London 4 higher, Antwerp
5s lower, Paris wheat and flour lower Ber-
lin unchanged, Budapesth u lower. Worlds
shipments, according to Jones, 1,450,0OO
bushels. Wheat on passage, 26,4SO,0OO
bushels. European visible, So. $40, 900 bushels,
an increae of 400 900 bushels; English visible
increases, 119, 900; American visible increase,
1,241 600 bushels. Reports from Australia
are of a bullish character: primary receipts,
1861, 900 bushels: shipments, $4,000 bushels,
clearances 800 900 bushels. We confirm II
loads for export. With better tone to the
foreign markets and more talk of eompi-
cations a much better feeling prevailed and
values have advanced. The cash situation
as regards the northwest is in much better
shape than elsewhere. Minneapolis reports
a strong demand for cash wheat. Sentiment
has changed considerably and there are in
dications that point toward higher values
Wheat is piling up everywhere, but busi-
ness conditions are so good that values can
not be considered high. There is demand
for wheat which is shown In the exporta-
lions from this country, and whenever
stocks show a decline. rapid advance
must follow. We feel friendly to wheat.
Corn has shown strength. The visfable
shows a decrease of 96e,000 bushels. There
was good buying today and the close was
at the top. The best people in the trade
are on the buying side and are inclined to
be aggressive.
Provisions have ruled firm Shipments OF
lard, 1856 900 pounds: meats, 2.2S5 900 pounds.
The advance that has taken place In corn
must soon effect values of provisions.

vertisers London financial cablegram:
The session here today was a repetition of
Saturday afternoon Africans booming and
other securities being quiet and cheerful
under the influence of the news of other
British victories in South Africa. Invest
ment securities relapsed in the afternoon
on apprehensions of the effect of the war
budget to be presented this evening, which
1t Is understood will call for 100000
pounds. The chancellor of the exchequer In
the house of commons made a statement to
the effect that the estimate of the surplus
for the fiscal year will be 100000 pounds.
He accordingly proposed to raise 5000 900
pounds by treasury bills, suggesting that
there will be new taxation at present. This
announcement came late in the afternoon.
Consols touched 1047s and closed at 104.
Americans were firm about parity until
New York operations caused a sharp rise.
Rapid fluctuations followed, but the closing
prices were near the best of the day. The
