THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
Wheat Steady on Light Trading.
Corn Eafrly Active,

CHICAGO, Oct. 19.-on an exceedingly
light trade the wheat market was held
steady. The only feature was the buying
by two or three of the leading commission
houses carly in the session. Local traders
generally we're arrayed on the selling side.
Liverpool WIS comparatively firm. Primary
receipts were about 100000 bushels larger
than last year. Clearances for the Gay
were 131. 00G bushels. Sales here were 160.-
Geo bushels. New York reported forty-two
loads.
The corn market was fairly active, and
especially for the deferred months in
which there was good buying for local pro-
fessional account and big bull interests.
December and May closed Lac high
or. There was scattered selling of Oc-
to5er without any demand to speak of. No
vember sympathized with October early,
but rallied later on buying for the &C
count of local scalper. There was a good
cash demand here. Over 100000 bushels
were reported sold
Oats were quiet and firm. Except COW
ering by few small local traders, the
cash demand was good at unchanged prices
Today's car lots were PA, and 290 esti-
mated for tomorrow.
A better tone to the hog market and
the prospect Of lighter receipts lowing to
the remarkable decline of the past week.
gave provisions rally. Cash trade was
fairly good.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-Nothing of q
connection with today's general pro.

1t could only be noted that there was q
eistinct revival in outside interest as evil
oenced In the activity Of commission
houses, that manipulation in certain di-
sections was aggressive, and that rur-
ehases for substantial financial interests
we're apparent in number of directions
Apart from these purely technical fea-
lures of the days dealings. there was lit
tie more to add than that the purchases
On these accounts seemed to be largely
ewing TO the corrected notions in regard
to the uncertainty of the monetary
situation. So far as could be ascer,ained
the likelihood of a satisfactory showing
by the banks in their weekly statement of
averages tomorrow cut very little figure
in the trading, and no particular atten-
tion seemed to be paid to today's sub
Initted returns of railway traffic for the
second week Of the month. AS has been
the case for some time the roads in the
South and Southwest made the most satis-
factory showings.
The bulk of the days activity and some
sf the more pronounced advances took
place in the railway list. Conspicuous
features there were Atchison preferred,
Northern Pacific common, Rock Island,
Louisville and Nashville. Pennsylvania,
Southern Railway preferred, Illinois Cen
trail, and the Lake Erie and Western
issues.
The dealings in the local traction
shares were again chara cterized by tie
strength of Manhattan, which advanced
with exceeding rapidity. The Industrial
quarter OF the market was likewise
strong, and the movements there were
also lacking in any explanation which did
not apply to the market at large.
Conspicuously strong and active st cks
in the industrial division were American
Smelling, National Tube, United States
Leather common, American Steel Hoop.
Tennessee Coal and Iron. and Colorado
Fuel and Iron. The days dealings at
tanned large aggregate, and, as may be
observed, were very well diversified.
Foreign houses sold steadily in tn s
market, throughout the morning, a cir
cumstance, however, which was wholly
without any effect upon prices. The d al
ings in bonds were again in considerable
volume. with particular activity and
strength being shown by the Karsas and
Texas and the Kansas City issues.
The Increased activity on the part of
commission houses resulted in a more ac-
tive money market with the course Of the
day, and the appearance of higher rates
for call loans in the afternoon induced
profit realizing sales, under which some
Of the earlier extreme advances were
shaded. but the reaction was by no means
general. Southern Railway pr ferred and
the Reading issues scored their highest
prices in the last hours dealings.

He states that he has all the fire and vim

years younger than he did when the old
doctor gave the prescription.
Mr.. Wright Is so grateful for his cure
and feels that If he lives thousand years
he cannot repay the good old doctor who
gave him the prescription.
In order to show his appreciation for
the good that has been done him and to
save others who are afflicted as he was,
keep those who would seek relief away
from quacks. who only take their money
without results, and to help the modest
man, who would rather suffer than tell
his affliction to physician, Mr.. Wright
has decided to send for short time. to
all who ask for it, absolutely free of all
cost, the prescription which cured him.
He is not dealer in patent medicines,
has nothing whatever to sell. His only
desire is to help his fellow-men.
If any reader Of The Times has the
slightest symptoms of this trouble, or who
has suffered and been treated by one or
more Of the numerous quacks, without
finding relief, he should not despair. He
can be cured in the privacy Of his own
home. All that is necessary is to drop

There was a boom in the New York stock
market yesterday, such as it has not seen
since last winter, probably. Prices adj
vanced well all over the list, and in some
cases rapidly and buoyantly. Business was
large and the public took part in II much
more than at any time recently. The COM
mission houses were full Of people In New
York and in the other large cities. and
those people were buying too. and not
simply watching the advance. OF course,
the cliuues are still the important buyers.
and it is probable that the aggregate of
business done for the public was not OF
any great size. Its importance, however.
should not be measured by its magnitude.
for there has been no public buying what
ever heretofore. and the fact that this
element has at last been drawn into the
market means much. Ii is not yet time TO
predict with much positiveness that there
is big and permanent boom on foot. but
there is much more reason to feel hopeful
than heretofore. The cligues have been
selling out their stocks heavily on the ad-
vance. and IL the public continues to buy

There is much bull talk regarding these

advance well If the general market
strength continues, although undoubtedly
there will be heavy selling to overcome.

there can ever be any advance again. AS
