IS WEAK and LOWER
Wheat Closes at a Half Gent
Loss for December.
LARGER CORN ESTIMATES
And a Decline = Oats Lower
Provisions Little Changed.

Chicago, Oct 27.-Liquidation, encour-
aged by the bright prospects of the fall
sown crop, coupled with an over-supply
on hand for export, weakened wheat to-
day and December closed with a loss of
&c. Corn weakened under large new
crop estimates and closed &c lower. Oats
declined &c Provisions were fiat and
closed with little alteration in values.
Wheat opened weak and, after a feeble
rally near the commencement on covering,
showed declining tendency for the re-
mainder of the\ session. Nearly every
thing combined to create d bearish senti-
ment. Argentine shipments for the week
were unusually large, amounting to l.,
072,000 bushels. Crop conditions in that
country were reported promising, the
scarcity Of ocean vessels alone prevent
ing enormous exports. Such evidence Of
the undiminished shipping capacity Of the
South American republic, coupled with
a steady increase in the domestic visible
supply, disheartened holders of long
wheat who unloaded freely. There was
also considerable selling for the short ac-
count and as the demand was sluggish
the market sagged steadily until near the
end, when covering started an upturn.
The improvement was only temporary,
however, as liquidation on a heavy scale
followed and the market closed weak
within fraction Of the bottom of the
days range. A slack cash demand and
reports of the excellent heavy rains slim
ulatd the selling movement. December
was at 7025c at the close.
Chicago received 105 cars Of which one
graded contract. Total western primary
receipts were 1920 bushels. Atlantic
port olearances in wheat and -four equal
ed $4,000 bushels. Argentine visible was
reported as 5,26OO00 bushels, against 49,
600 the same perior year ago.
Corn was active and strong early, but
eventually weakened under liquidation
encouraged by an estimate by an authori-
tative statistician that the total yield
would amount to 2,200, 100000 bushels in
stead of two billion. as predicted by the
government bureau. A disappointing poor
cash demand was also against the mar
ket, but country buying owing 10 wet
weather and moderate receipts prevented
any important break, and the market
closed steady. Receipts, 4C2 cars De-
cember closed wit buyers at S1%c.

HOG MARKET STRONG.
Better Tone Than Elsewhere,
Receipts and Demand Good
TOPS UP TO 1897 -.
Cattle Steady With One Big
Deal.

The Wichita hog market yesterday
again asserted its own inherent strength.
All the western live stock markets sent
put quotation of weaker to the extent
Of 5 cents of. Chicago, with 1900 less
hogs than the day before, reported
market quotation Of slow, mostly . cents
lower. st. Louis gave out weak to cents
lower, and Kansas City, steady to
Shade lower. This market more than
held its own and the final quotation az
the close was that light hogs sold strong
and the market was steady for all others.
1t was not heavy day in point Of volume
Of receipts, but yet, considering the heavy
roads all over this tributary territory,
caused by the last two days heavy rains
the receipts were very fair. All the west
ern markets and main hog receiving
points have shown falling off in re-
ceipts of late, and this is explained from
the fact that the bulk OF the fattened
hogs, and all classes in condition to
send to market, have been hurried into
the markets and the light run of late IS
accounted for this way. Yesterday the
business was very good considering the
weather and the unfavorabie conditions
for shipping. There was a good demand
for fat butcher hogs from the local pack
ing interests, as well as a keen active
call for lights and mediums for shipping
order. All hogs offered Of any and every
grade were quickly absorbed and all sold
at the best market prices, the figures paid
for the purchases being ahead of the av-
erag. for the rest Of the western live
stock markets. In ALL seven cars of hogs
went over the scales, one at the top,
which was 21s cents in advance of the tops
of the day before; three at the next
point, and three at the minimum for the
bulk range 33.9212. The average weight
for car hogs, while heavy, as compared
with the run of late, was 10 pounds light
er than the average for the day before,
when it was higher than for a long time
past. All the hogs received We're sold
as soon as yarded, and 1.-THE demand was
strong enough to have taken in as many
times more hogs, if the grade had been
the same. In all, it was a very good day
and the tone of the market, as compared
with that Of other western points, was
very satisfactory for Wichita and the
business was done with a vim and buoy
ancy which was refreshing

suit of deadlock between foreign consu'n-
ers and American producers. The situa-
ton Of cotton goods, one or aggressive
strength, is undoubtedly supporting Tea
ture of no small account. The strength
of wool Is natural, in view of the very
large sales. In wooden goods demand is
favorable, and further price advances are
prericted. Lumber, after slight hesita-
ton at some markets, due to enlarged
supplies, is again very firm, as are also
hides and leather, in sympathy with re-
cent advances in boots and shoes.
The situation of iron and steel is per-
haps the most notable one yet RESENTED.
The feature Of the market is the reported
booking by the steel rail mills OF the
countr Of nearly IS per cent Of their capac-
ity for next years delivery. In all 1,50l,-
900 tons Of rails are reported to have been
booked for delivery next year and there is
in addition considerable unfinished busl-
ness of 1899 account which it is claimed
will still further enlarge the volume of
business handled next year Heavy buy
ing Of pig iron, undoubtedly t ocover
some of the rail sales, is reported in the
central west at prices little below those
ruling for some time past. In all lines of
business, demand is still very heavy, de-
mand for steel for cars of plates for ship
building and for lwire being additional
signs of strength. Demand for hardware
is active at nearly all markets. The
scarcity of supplies last week is still a
feature and jobbers are still pushed for
prompt shipments. Barbed wire. nails
and hand implements tend higher at some
eastern markets. Complaint that present
high prices are injuring our export trade
is also heard.
Wheat, including -four, shipments for the
week aggregate 1876 bushels, against
4,16o61S bushels last week, 5560,991 bushels
in the corresponding week of 1898; SSH
391 bushels in 1897: 3,62S,0oO bushels in 1896

LAST HOUR Selling
Wipes Out Earlier Gains in
the Stock Market.
TEMPTING PROFITS TAKEN
And a Bad Bank Statement
Being Expected Today

New York, Oct. 1.-THE stock market
during the early hours Of the day. Later
there were occasional advances by indi-
viduaI stocks OF groups, some of which
saved gains on the day. but in the ma
jority Of cases the active selling move
ment of the last hour wiped out the ear
her gains and carried prices in most
cases sharply below last nights level.
The motive of the selling was the fear
of an unfavorable bank statement TO-
morrow, as well as to take attractive
profits on the weeks advance. The high
priced industrial specialties and the Iron
and Steel stocks were conspicuous IN the
late reaction. The most notable movement
Of the day was the rist in some Of the
railroads running through the south and
southwest Louisville and Southern rail-
way led with an extreme advance OF H.
Missouri Pacific was a close second. The
large earnings shown by monthly returns
caused the movement. The same motive
advanced the price of Atchison preferred
and Northern Poetic. The speculation
was mixed during the greater part OF the
day, many of the leading industrials drift
ing UP and down at a level either side
Of last nights price. New York, Chicago
and ST Louis first preferred dropped over
5 points on a single transaction with
out exciting any attention. There were
various points of weakness In the minor
specialties, Stocks of companies having
to do with the metal industry were all
inclined to heaviness on account of the
reactionary tendency in the price OF the
metals. The Iron and Steel stocks were
not exempt. Call money fiurried to 10
per cent with the late demand for loans
to carry over till Monday. and was quite
firm at to : per cent all day. Accord
ing to statements by the leading banks
the net shipments of currency to the in
terror both by express and by deposits at
the sub-treasury for Geographic transfer
amount TO $500. 00o After allowing for
receipts of a considerable sum in gold
from the assay office by the banks their
loss to the sub-treasury still amounts TO
upwards Of a million dollars. Tomorrow
statement Is therefore expected TO show
q loss in cash of fully $3.500.000. Unless
the loan account of the banks has been
largely diminished II is evident that the
surplus reserve which stood last SstuT-
day at only s1,441075, must have been
wiped out and deficit established. Clos
ing prices of stocks were as follows:
