 Chicago, October 7.-Wheat-Liverpool closed A lower, London cargoes quiet, fu- lures F lower Antwerp Is higher. Worlds $ shipments indicate from 100000 to 5000 eco bushels including 40OO0 from India. Aus tralia nil. Broomhall says Bombay was bidding for wheat in Liverpool yesterday, which is significant. Dry weather still pre- vails throughout the winter wheat belt and offerings from farmers are very light. Primary receipts 957,G00, shipments 1S1 900. Weekly clearances wheat and flour, 3,200,- 0e0; from July 1 to date, 55 100000, an in crease of 3,200000 over last year. Today's clearances included. 7S5,000. We confirm ten loads for export Outside markets have ruled strong Today's trading was con fined within a narrow range and the close was firm. Scalps were inclined to even up. The situation in the Transvaal is still one of uncertainty. Local sentiment is more bearish than otherwise, but the market certainly shows a strong undertone, while the popular impression seems to, prevail that December should sell down to 70 cents, there may be some disappointment in that respect. The winter wheat situation Is strong bull card. On the other hand high freights both lake, rail and ocean, are used as bear factors. On soft spots we favor purchases.

ROOM TRADERS
 IN THE MARKET Stocks Much Neglected on Ac-
 count of Yacht Race. CLOSING WAS IRREGULAR
Bank Statement Failed to Show the Large Relief as Result of Expen- ditures by Visitors to the
 Dewey Celebration

New York, October 7.--The stock market was much neglected today, the yacht race proving the greatest attraction Prices narrowed except in few industrials and the small room traders had the market all to themselves They bid up prices after the opening in expectation of a favorable bank statement Prices declined when the statement appeared, but there was no ur- gent liquidation and the bidding up of Louisville to point over last night stea1ied d the market. The closing was rather ir- regular Attempts to still further depress Brooklyn Transit met with resistance and the stock gained a point net Changes generally are very small and mixed, but the majority were gains.
 The bank statement failed to show the large relief as a result of expenditures by visitors to the Dewey celebration which has been much harped on by spectators of late. No more than a million dollars offset to the drain to the interior and to the sub-treasury can be detached from the banker column
 Todays clearing house statement shows the sub-treasury a debtor to that insttu- tion for $2.091 300. Coupled with the re- ceipts of gold by today's incoming steam CTS this had the effect of counteracting to a slight extent the unfavorable statement.
 Prices in stocks arrived at a condition of stability during the week compared with the violent fluctuations for some time past. This condition represents the ad- justment of values between the conflicting influences of stringent money and prosper ous business. With unwilingness to sell at present prices and unreadiness to buy, the market has been remarkably dull. It has not been narrow, though the number of diff ferent issues dealt in has increased and buying of odd lots has indicated the pres ence of the bargain hunter.

raIbott 6 palmer's Cotton Letter

By Private Wire from Fairchd 6 Hobson.
 New Orleans, October 7.-Conciding with our decline of yesterday, Liverpool gladly lost six sixty-fourths on futures and 1-16 spots. Sales, 1000. There must have been heavy selling in the old world to cause such break, which, under ordinary circumstances, would have opened out market at a decline of 10 points. The re- fusal of New Orleans to decline more than points at the start was astonishing to the bears and they knew better than to sells discounting more. For the coming week we will run against a. movement of 52S 900 in sight last year at this weeks in sight we estimate at 475.000 For the week re- ceipts at the ports we count on S25 900, com pared with 393, ,25O last year. This expected light movement for the week encouraged buying, which the shots did not expect, and in its stead looked for continued real- izing However, they were disappointed. From the very opening of the session prices showed strength. January opened, 674d6.75, closing at 6.S7@6.SS Liverpool looked awfully distressing this morning when she retired, but we hope the stimu-1 lant we have prepared for her will do her good. Southern spot markets steady to firm at unchanged. The lowering of grades below low middng A in the local spot market is more like the real thing and has regulated differences satisfactorily.

Bank Statement

New York. October 1.-The changes in the sta tement of the Associated banks of New York for the week ending October were not as marked as had been anticipated. h. stead of average losses in loans of nearly seven millions and decrease of ten mill lions in deposits as shown In the totals ex- tending over the last twelve weeks. the banks contracted loans for the current week of only S3,590,200 and deposits S4,2O5 900. As the banks have lost about SIPS 900, 900 in deposits and $SS S000,000 in loans from the high point attained in June, there is some ground for the belief that the period of excessive liquidations is at an end. Still, the demand for cash for interior requ.re- ments continues heavy while the banks seem unable to recoup their resources from usual available quarters. The gold engaged in London does not count in the present statement although receipts from one or two other quarters are included.

Taihott 6 PaImer's vtock Letter
 By Private Wire from the New York Sun.
 New York, October 7.-Following from the New York Sum- For another week the stock market movements have failed to be in line with those matters with which spec ulative attention was mostly engrossed. There have been submitted with the course of the week a very large number of rail- way traffic returns, covering various peri ods, virtually all of which made most ex oellent showlngs. Should the country's trade activity be maintained upon it's pres ent basis and should the various features of the situation now restricting activity and lending to unsettle confidence be moved there is no question that those more prosaic features will again exert their nor nal influence; but in the meantime the bulk of attention will necessarily be di- yerted to the more prominent circumstances in the situat tion including, notably, the strength in the money market and the per- turbed state of affairs in South Africa. On Tuesday the governors of the Bank of Eng land took somewhat of an extraordinary course of advancing the bank rate 1 per cent, and on Thursday they followed tllis up with another advance of F per cent, thus placing the bank minimum rate of dls- count 1B per cent. higher than it was on Thursday week ago. The main events and matters engaging attention during the week have been enumerated. The situa- tion has presented few features apart from this.

New York, October 1.-The cotton market opening today was several points low CT, under Weak cables, continuance of last nights dqufdating movement and vigorous pounding by the more courageous bears. January dropped to 6.95 and March sold off ' points to 7.04 on the call. Soon after the opening there was something of rally on furry of covering and active demand from export and cloth mill Interests. The market continued in a nervous state most of the morning and peculiarly sensitive to orders as received. Wall street was con- splcuous seller around the eall but later re-invested in small way on the reaction theory. Europe traded moderately on both sides. Contrary to predictions, the news from the crop center was fully as cheering as any of late.
 The market for cotton futures after the first hour, turned abruptly and advanced l6 to 2l points on heavy new buying, and a bad scare of shorts, who covered freely Trading was very active with the market feverish. Bulls were encouraged by small receipts, firm spot markets and adverse crop news.

Secretary Alger Organizes a Commission
to Govern New Territory.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The secretary
of war has completed the organization
of a colonial commission to undertake
the administration here in Washington
Of all matters Of detail respecting the
government of the territories acquired
during the war or occupied by the United
States. The personnel of the commits
sion will be General Robert P. Kennedy
of Bellefontaine, Ohio; Curtis Guild Of
Massachusetts,, and George w. Watkins
of Grand Rapids, Mich. Up to this
point the secretary and assistant secre
tary have undertaken themselves to deal
with the administration of insular af
fairs, but the questions involved have
become SO numerous and complicated
that it has been found absolutely neces.
sary to call for assistants. The commits
sion will deal with the bestowal of fran
chises and concessions, the distribution
of moneys to be spent in public improve
ments, and all of the troublesome issues
that have arisen and are likely to arise
in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.

Troops Destined For Iloil0 Disembarkcd
on a Neighborins Island.
New YORK, Jan. ga special from
Washington says: General Miller's ex-
petition has landed on Guimaras island,
three miles from Iloilo, without OPPOSE
ton, General Otis cables from Manila.
Landing was necessary because of the
crowded condition Of troops on the
transports. Experience has proved that
soldiers lose spirit and fighting qualities
when confined long on board ship, SO the
war department asked General Otis to
ascertain if it was possible for General
Miller to land his expedition near
Iloilo. He cabled that it was and was
then instructed to order a landing.
1t was deemed inadvisable to have
this expedition return to Manila with
out having landed, because it was
fearedthe natives of Luzon would think
the Filipinos at Iloilo had repulsed the
Americans.
The presidents policy of pacifcation
will be continued, and no attempt to
land at Iloilo will be made at present.
The island On which the men have
landed is healthy and has an abundance
of water. Z

German Official Says There Will BE No
Friction Over Samoa.
BERLIN, Jan. 23.-The correspondent
here of the Associated Press has had .
conversation with q high official of
the German foreign Office, DR.. Hamann,
who said:
"The government has just received a
detailed report from Samoa which they
think reliable, all the more so because
the report distributes the blame for the
errors committed there pretty evenly
though some points remain unex-
planned.
"The report says that Mataafa, prior
to his election, was recognized as eligi-
BILE by the three consuls. It is true that
Mataafa in 1883 was hostile to Germany
but the situation is different now, and
Germany no longer objected to Mataafa.
And why Chief Justice Chamber
annulled Mataafa's election we do
not know. It was certainly not
under the terms of the Berlin treaty.
The decision Is all the more regrettable
because %bloodshed might have been
foreseen. No whites property, however
has been destroyed, and we do not know
why the chief Justice sought refuge on
the British warship Porpoise.
"Dr. Raffel, the German municipal
president, acted illegally in action rela-
tive to the court.
1--WE can only explain these things by
supposing that the officials there had
grown nervous. The German govern
ment, however, takes the whole bust
ness calmly, and doubtless it will be ad.
justed automatically by negotiations
between Washington, Berlin and Lon
don. We do not expect n ydifaculties.
Germany hdheres strictly. to the term.
OF the Berlin treaty. Whatever illegal
excuses Germans may have committed
we shall disavow."
