was won by Molo in 3:14%. Wauban sec
ond and Stranger third. Stranger went
out and came fast through the stretch
and won second heat in 2:151z, with
speed spare. The 2:0S pace was easily
won in straight heats by VIII Leyburn.
The Kentucky. 5000. for three-year-old
traitors was also straisht-hcat affair

Texas and fine unwashed feeces. The
woods were purchased to meet actual

hold pretty steady, and where the cen

can secure practically as good prices
as he could a month ago. The London

Stocks and Bond S.

New York, Oct. 10.-Activity in the
| stock market was very much retarded
! by the perplexit:es in the money mark ct
outlook. International exchanges and
! the rates for money on foreign markets
| attracted more attention than did news
! of domestic events except as those af-
! fected some special properties. What
small interests there was in stocks was
mostly centered on the specialties and
| the movements Of prices there was ir-
regular. Peoples Gas was rather acute
/ ly depressed on the news OF a general
issue of injunctions to prevent the COM
| pany from charging more than 10 cents
| for gas while that rate was accorded
| to any of its customers. Lacleda Gas
was weakened, apparently in sympathy.
! Sugar and Tennessee Coal were also
! forced down over a point on rather free
! selling. Manhattan, on the contrary,
! showed a continuance of its recent
/ strength during the early dealings, and
Brooklyn Transit seemed in some de-
mand. American Tin Plate in the met al
group rose over a point, and Hooking
Valley as much. Except for the last
named stock, these advances were all
wiped out in the late reaction. The
heaviness Of the general list became
marked after only a brief resistance.
The movement Of prices was very mar
row and dealings so small that the net
changes are not important, but practi-
cally all of them are losses. The large
| decrease in earnings of St. Paul for the
first week in October was q depressing
factor More loans were called today
and the rate was marked up to per
cent before new accommodation could be
found. This was the dominant influence
in the market. and renewed fall in ster-
ling exchange which carried the rate
down to the new level of gold imports
seemed TO have little influence in off
setting the effect OF the higher money
rate The sub-treasry transferred half
million dollars today to tn interior, and
the drafts paid by that institution dur
Ing the week on account of gold depos-
tied at Pacific coast points is quite in
significant. At the present rate of de-
pletion of New York bank reserves il
is evident that Saturdays statement will
show the surplus almost obliterated I'M
less it shall be Offset by drastic con
traction OF loans. Another $4,000 was
engaged in London today for shipment
to New York, but the discount rates
promptly responded with advances ex-
tending to q per cent, and It is gener-
ally belieyed that the Bank OF England
will advance the official rate tomorrow,
as the private rate has now gone above
it. The sensitiveness Of the foreign mar
kets to the threatened Withdrawals Of
gold detract from the beneficial effect
on speculation here. The reported panic
on the Vienna boerse yesterday gives an
unpleasant impression. Today's violent
break IN the price Of cotton and the
unexpectedly favorable character Of the
governments monthly report on cotton
give rise to the further question of what
effect these DEVELOPMENTS NAV have on
he .Tf of p 30
is now the dominating influence in both
the money and foreign exchange mar
kets. Closing prices of stocks were as

RAF- AGENT LOVER
Wheat Suffers From Lack of
Public Support.
FROSTY IN ARGENTINE
Coarse Grains and Provisions
at Declines.

Chicago, Oct. 10.-Lack Of public sup
port again resulted disatrously for wheat
today, December closing nc under YES
terday. Corn closed Is to &c and oats
&c lower. The chief grain trade is now
in the December option. Provisions
closed 121l to &c down.
The wheat market held fairly steady
during the forenoon under the influence
of f1rmness at Liverpool, and the cash
business yesterday, when $4,000 bushe s
were sold mere for export. December
opened at n to 1870, touched TIC,
dropped to 7ss4d767sc, and then rallied TO
Tasc. Shorts were the best buyers. No
particular cash support was forthcom-
ing. however, but in its stead there vas
selling by st. Louis interests This dis
couraged the early buyers, who unload-d.
December under this pressure declined
to 763s G761hc, at which figure it closed,
Nc under yesterday. New York reported
SO loads taken for export Clearances
in wheat and -four were equal TO $4,000
bushels. Primary receipts were I113,0O
bushels, compared with 1,259,C00 bushels
last year Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported SIT cars, against 427 last week
y
212 cars, four of contract grade. A late
cable reported severe frosts in Argen-
tine The government report, due after
trading hours, as usual curtailed bust
ness
Corn was dull, and though steady early,
finally eased in sympathy with the wis at
weakness. The heavy local shipments,
$4,000 bushels during the last "a hours.
had a Stimulating effect early. Receipts
were Az cars. Shipping sales were 17O,-
600 bushels. The seaboard reported sew
enty loads taken for export. December
sold between 35c and 343ac, and closed
