Chicago, Oct. 3-Early Transvaal ad-
vices containing nothing to increase the
apprehension of war, wheat opened easier
December 74A974asc and May 771s@77as
Those who had rushed to cover during
yesterdays scare sold moderately. Gables
were a disappointment, Liverpool being
up only I'D, while consols showed an adj
vance. An advance set in upon the re-
port that hostilities had already begun.
There was strong outside demand and
the early sellers again bought to cover
their first sales. Under this impulse De-
cember ascended to 741s@74ssc. The adj
vance was not held long. The nervous
feeling resulted in more selling and the
price slumped to the opening figures. The
last advance of the day carried Decem-
Der to 74Ac. but this was also the price
sliding off 1910. the low mark for the day.
and closed at TIC.
The break was due largely to the big
increase in Northwest elevator stock,
5000, 900 bushels, compared with S,493,00O
The announcement of this served as
signal for lot of selling and the war
news for the time being was ignored.
Corn held strong the greater part of the
day affected principally by the Trans
vaal political crisis. December closed at
301sM30Ac. -'-
Oats held firm, Influenced less by war
news and breaking less severely on the
turns. December closed at 231sc.
Provisions were dull. January pork
closed &c lower January lard 2@5c lower

New York, Oct. 3.--The Commercial
Advertisers financial cablegram says:
The stock market here opened weak to-
day and went fiat early on the announce
ment of an advance in the banks rate of
discount from 3k per cent. to per cent.
The advance was made by the governors
of the Bank of England on their own re-
sponsibility because of the rise In the ra tie
at Berlin from to 6 per cent There was
no panic and little excitement in the mar
ket, but it was decidedly weak. although
there was slight rebound finally. Lord
Rothschild, despite the critical state of af-
fairs in the Transvaal, told his friends
this morning there would be no war.
Consols were down to 1O4$ for money and
1925 for the November account. -Ameri-
cans began fiat and went from a half to
one point under parity. New York bought
slightly. but the close was near the worst.
A money squeeze is expected in Berlin.
