Chicago board of TRADE .-.Prime report:
kota, taking Grand Forks as base
makes this showing: Crop is about ali
threshed. Farmers deliveries have been
light for weeks Expect to see an in
crease from now on until Christmas and
particularly in November. More than the
usual amount Of wheat will be carried
over. Old wheat is practically all
shipped out. Flax receipts have been good
and farmers have been selling it in the
place of wheat. Spring wheat reports
from the eastern portion Of North Da-
kota show that wheat is all threshed.
Farmers have. been storing more than
usual, but a freer movement is looked
for after the ground freezes up, so farm
ers cannot pillow. Reports from the
northern part Of South Dakota make this
showing about 50 per cent of the crop is
threshed. lot of wheat has been put
into store, much more than usual. About
all the old wheat has been sold. Milling
heavily with wheat. Spring wheat reports
from the southeastern part of South Da-
kota show that there is considerable
wheat to be threshed yet. Farmers are
In no disposition to sell a present prices
and are storing more wheat on their
farms than usual. Average yield of
wheat through all this section will not ex-
coed eight blu per acre and Is of inferior
quality. Millers are not getting as much
wheat as they wished to grind. Mod
ern Miller: Beneficial rains have fallen
in most sections Of the winter wheat belt,
especially where most needed Gin the
SouthwesD and with mild weather crop
has generally made sufficient progress to
be in healthy condition on approach of
winter. Trade in -four has suffered a
further relapse on account of the ad-
vance in freight rates and the movement
was much restricted

Iron dropping 23s, with only feeble raj

Call money furried to 10 per cent, with
the late demand for loans to carry over
to Monday, and was quite firm at from
6 to per cent all day. According to
statements by the leading banks, the net
shipments of currency 10 the interior,
both by express and by deposits at the
subtreasury for telegraph transfer,
amount to about 81, 100000 After allowing
for receipts of a considerable sum in
gold from the assay Office by the banks,
their loss to the subtreasury still amounts
to upwards of $1000. 900 Tomorrows
statement IS therefore expected to show
a less in cash of fully S35 0QG Unless
the loan account of the banks has been
largely diminished, it is evident that the
surplus reserve, which stood last Satur-
day at only 81, Al ,015, must have been
wiped out, and deficit established.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.-The stock mar
ket made a considerable display of
strength during the early hours of the
day. Later there were occasional adj
vances by individual stocks, hut in the
majority of cases the late decline wiped
out the earlier gains ana carried prices
in some cases sharply below last night
level The motive Of the selling was the
fear Of an unfavore BILE bank statement
tomorrow, as well as to take tempting
profits on the weeks advance. The high
priced specialttes and the iron and steel
stocks were conspicuous in the late re-
action.
The most notable movement Of the DAY
was the rise In some of the railroads
running through the South and South
west Louisville & Nashville and Southern

souri, Pacific was close second. There
was a notable frmness also in Mobile &
Ohio, Texas Pacific and St Louis South

Baltimore & Ohio stocks. The large carr
ings shown by monthly returns caused
the movement. The same motive advanc-
ed the price of Atchison preferred and
Northern Pacific.
Many of the leading fndustrials drifted
up and down at a level either side of
last nights prices. This was true of
Sugar Tobacco, Manhattan and the
Leather stocks. The last named We're re-

St. Louis first preferred dropped points

any attention.
There were various points of weakness
in the minor specialties. Stocks of com
