Brilliant Advance in CoaIerS--
Money Rates Held,

New York, Oct &.IThe movement of
prices was irregularly upward with
! stocks, while many Industrial stocks, es-
pecially of the more recently organized
companies, showed symptoms of weak
ness. The movement of the market was
! by pulsauons. first one and then another
group of stocks taking up the advance.
There was no time during the day when
the general level OF prices kept company
at the top, the rise in one group giving
| way TO reaction before the advance was
taken up by another. Many stocks were
sluggish throughout the day. Prices gen.
orally gave way after o'clock under the
pressure of realizing in the leather stocks,
which had been the center of the specu-
lation all day. The earlier gains were
wiped out in numerous instances in this
reaction. The aggressive advance of the
coalers checked the decline and rallied
the market, but not to the top level
The market closed with a brilliant ad-
vance in the coalers still in force, but
with the tendency irregular. The net
gains in the coalers went all tho way
from a point in the minor membership
of the group to 4 ga in New Jersey Cen
trail. Dealings in the leather stocks were
again on an enormous scale, the common
rising at one time to % and the preferred
to 81 rs. Other points of individual
strength were Sugar, the southern group
OF railroads, the southwestern group
Iowa Central preferred, Ann Arbor pre-
ferred. Great Northern preferred, Ana

BISHOP DOANE FOR EXPANSION
Certain Eniyersalist Brethren AfiiIi-
ate With the TagaIs.

ST. Louis. Mo-, Oct. 25.-Bishop Doane
Of Albany, n. Y, in his address before
the Protestant Episcopal Missionary
council, now in session here, came out
squarely IN support of the policy of the
administration in taking the Philippines
under national protection. He said: ITO
my mind there were but four alternat-
ives We were obliged either to leave the
islands under Spanish control, for re-
newal of hostilities; we were obliged to
leave them to destroy themselves in in
ternecine strife; we could have left them
to be fought over by European nations
or we could have assumed the position of
protectors OF the islands. / see no other
conclusion, and the fourth alternative was
the only one which ought TO have been
taken. We did take it. and this great
trust must be Administered
Missionaries from Cuba and Porto RHO
presented the needs of the people of those
islands and after some discussion it was
decided to send a bishop to the latter
island
Boston, Oct 25.-At the session of the
Universalist conference today Rev Dr.
Powers of New York moved the following
resolution:
Resolved. That we believe that al men
are created equal; that they are endowed
by their Cerator with certain inalieaable
rights; that among those are life. lii
erty and the pursuit of happiness, and
that governments derive their just powers
from the consent of the governed Gap
plause and laughter. He also prop osed
that copy of the resolutions be for
warded TO President Mckinley. A no
ton to indefinitely postpone action on the
resolution was carried.
Rev. Dr. Snow of Hoverhill said: 81
don't believe in discussing this matter
but am absolutely opposed to the whole
Philippines business" (Applause.)

AGAIN BELOW SEVENTY
For December Wheat, But
Corn Comes to the Rescue.
EARLY LOSS RECLAIMED
Coarse Grains and Provisions
Close Higher.

Chicago, Oct. S-Wheat got below the
70 cent mark for the December option
again today, but corn came TO the rescue
and the loss was fully regained. Deem
cents. Buying by oversold shorts
strengthened corn, and that commodity
closed with gain of 1-4q3-8 cent. Oats
closed a shade higher. The strength in
corn was reflected in provisions, and jan
uary pork advanced 20 cents and lard and
| RIBS 5Q7* cents each.
Generous rains throughout the south
west, where claims of damage by drouth
have been numerous recently, started
wheat easy. Indifferent cables also en-
| couraged liquidation. Trade was too dull
to permit of any notable break and the
decline was slow, though sure, the mar
ket finally reaching point 1-2q5-S cent
below yesterdays closing price. In the
meantime corn developed decided
strength. This, together with outside
buying, started an upturn and the mar
ket continued to advance until the close.
The market closed firm within a fraction
Of the best price ofthe day Shorts were
free buyers on thelate bulge and hast
ened the advance. December opened Is
ola cent lower at 20 1-4d70 3-S cents, ad-
vanced to 70 1-2 cents, declined to So 80
20 cents, advanced to 70 5-S cents and
closed at 20 1-2q70 5-S cents. Chicago re-
ceived 40 cars, five of which graded con-
tract. Minneapolis and Duluth got Jas
cars, compared with $50 for the cores
ponding day year ago. Total western
primary receipts were 1,021,000 bushels,
against 1,5S70O0 last year Atlantic port
clearances, wheat and -four, equaned
$4,000 bushels. Cash demand both here
and at the seaboard was slow
Corn was active and irregular. An esti-
mate that Nebraska's yield would amount
to 244,OO0000 bushels this year, or Il O0o,-
600 bushels more than expected, encourage
ed short selling for time, but the pres
sure had very little effect, as the market
appeared to be oversold. Then early
sellers turned buyers and in an effort to
get back former holdings, the price was
bid up rapidly, and the market. from be-
ing rather downwardly inclined. became
very strong. Cash demand was good and
shipping sales large Receipts, 355 cars.
December opened Is cent lower at 81 1-S6 !
81 IA cents, eased Off to 81 1-8 cents. ad-
vanced to 81 So cents and closed at 81 -
@31 So cents
Sympathy with corn caused a slight ad-
vance in oats. The market was very dull
and the bulk Of trading consisted of |
changing December to May. Receipts. 2o3
cars. December opened a shade lower at |
p 5-S cents, eased off to % 1908 cents !
and advanced to % ga cents at the close
Provisions were weak early. but turned |
strong near the close, with half a dozen |
buyers for everythin goffered for sale. |
The strength in corn brought about the
change in sentiment. January pork clos
ed 20 cents higher at $3.50; January lard
5Q7 1-2 cents higher at s5.37 1-2, and jan
uary ribs, 1-2 cents higher at s4.97 -

hogs $1,000 head.
