TIE New York stock market continued to
show marked Indifference yesterday to the
disturbance in foreign markets on account
of the war scare and OF money difnculties,
"a well as to the continued stiffness of the
local money rate. Prices dipped at the open
ing on the rumor of an invasion of Natal
by the Beers forces and on the further adj
vance in the Bank of England's official rate
of discount. But the opening prices were
for the most part the lowest and the market
quite promptly set about retrieving Its de-
cline. The liquidation for London account
was comparatively small in volume. sales
not exceeding 1900 shares. In fact the for
eign stock markets seemed to take no very
serious account of the strained condition Of
affairs, and even the Kafir mining stocks,
which would be most vitality affected by the
war. were quite firm.
The market for call money In New York
showed further relief from the extreme
stringency. To-day's maximum rate was
12iz per cent. and 1t fell, before the close,
below the legal rate. The undertone OF the
market for stocks was very firm. This was
not due to any large demand, even In the
case of stocks which moved quite widely.
but rather to the bidding up OF prices by
those interested in seeing a higher figure for
their holdings. This bidding up process,
however, failed to bring out large offerings,
which fact was significant of the markets
frmness. Another feature was the large
number Of stocks not usually dealt in which
were brought into activity. The latter fea-
ture Is always Indicative of the presence of
the bargain hunter, who Is buying stocks
outright to hold as an investment; a class OF
buyers who do not depend on the money
doubtedly a growth OF confidence that the
tringent period for money Is over. The
demand from the interior for funds con-
tinues large and may encroach or the re-
serve of interior banks loaned on call in
New York. The rising discount rates in
London caused an additional advance in the
rate for sterling exchange here. in Paris and
IN Berlin and the weak return Of the Bank Of
France discourages the idea that either Lon
don or New York can hope for large relief
from that center.

MARKET WAS NERVOUS
WHEAT MOVED ERRATICALLY IN
DER LIVERPOOL INFLUENCES.
slight Advance I'm rains hut Pro-
visions Are LOweI-Local Trad
ing Is Very Active

CHICAGO. Oct. 5.-The antics of the
Liverpool market. due to the uncertain
Transvaal situation, made wheat decidedly
nervous at times to-day. December closed
at ac advance, shorts apparently being un-
willing to take chances while the present
Transvaal conditions prevail. Corn and oats
were practically unchanged at the close.
Provisions closed about 2ilsQ5c lower.
Wheat at the opening was firm and ner-
vously active with the price over calls. The
initial price for December was 73%G73Sc,
Ac over yesterdays close. Liverpool, the
index of the war feeling, failed to hold early
gains however, and the price slid off later
under calls, December to 73Ac, with the
market less active. Early buyers were SELL
ers on the decline, the tendency to liquidate
was checked in a degree by the smaller re-
ceipts at primary points, and the growing
belief tina winter wheat supplies are be-
coming exhausted. Clearances were large.
this fact exerting an influence which later
advanced the price Of December to 731ac, at
which figure it closed. May wheat opened
at 76zG76Bc, ranged to 76Hc to 76&d7SBc,
and closed at 76%G 16l2c. Chicago received
ga cars, five of contract grade. Minneapo-
lis and Duluth reported 71 cars, as COM
pared to ga a week ago and s64 the CORE
spending day of last year. Western primary
markets reported 1.O2s.op bushels. against
1,4s5, 900 last year. Atlantic port %clearances
of wheat and flour were equal to 10000
bushels. New York took 81 loads for export.
The market at times was quite nervous
over a comparatively narrow range. The
sharp advance at Liverpool. and the sudden
reaction in that market, indicates a feeling
of uncertainty in the minds of English
traders over the Transvaal affairs that
made local shorts uneasy and caused con-
siderable buying by that class. OF traders.
The demand from this source was a factor
in the late strength of the market.
Trading in corn was dull. The market in
general was steady, in sympathy with
wheat. Big seaboard engagements had some
influence. There was talk Of another ad-
vance in ocean rates Receipts were 10 cars.
The seaboard reported 80 loads taken for
export. December ranged from 30hc to 3osac,
and closed unchanged at 30dahc.
Oats were quiet and steady, Influenced by
wheat. The speculative trade was light and
the fluctuations narrow. The cash demand
continued good. There was a large demand
for May at 24Lc, with light offerings at that
figure. December ranged from 22bc to 231tc,
and closed at 227sc. Receipts were 296 cars.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
Trade Active, with No New Features
of Importance.

Very scion does business on the wholesale
streets and on Commission row move along as
smoothly, from day to day. and with SO few
fluctuations in values as for some weeks past.
The wholesale merchants, almost without excep-
ton, are very busy and this month has shown
a decided increase over September. which was
one of the best business months in the history
Of the wholesale houses of indianapolis. The
produce merchants are busy. Poultry is easy;
eggs are in good request and firm, and choice
butter is in good demand. On Commission row
sales OF vegetables are large, and the supply Is
good, which prevents an advance in prices. APP
pies OF inferior quality are in good supply, while
choice fruit is scarce: Still. there are no indi-
cations that apples will sell any higher this win
ter than usual, neither will Irish or sweet po-
tatOes bring higher prices than last fall and
winter.
The local grain market is not as active as 1t
should be with the present demand for cereals.

day, against $50 a week ago and a little less

steady prices. Steers sold as high as SOS.
heifers as high as $4.65 and lows as high as
$4.S. The supply of stockers, feeders ana
half-fat cattle continues plentiful, and thus
far this week only a small proportion or
the arrivals have changed hands. For the
most part, however. sales of feeding cattle
have been on a basis of about steady prices.
