DULL DAY in CEREALS
EARLY BULGE LOST, STAGNATION
FOLLOWING AND REMAINING.
Oats and Provisions Independently
Firm and Higher-Wheat Down
and Corn Unchanged.

CHICAGO. Oct. 16.-Dullness following
an early bulge in wheat, supplemented by
liquidations, again depressed grains here
to-day, and December wheat closed sale
lower; corn 1sa1kc depressed and oats a
shade higher. Provisions closed 5Q1712c adj
vanced.
Wheat acted with some buoyancy at the
opening under the influence of Liverpool
cables, which came in unchanged on the
break of PC from top prices here yester-
day. December opened. 1sq2sc advanced,
at 7OkG7OAc. but could not get higher.
When it was found that the demand was
only a scattered one. selling became some
what concentrated, and a few prominent
bulls began to let go of their holdings.
In the absence Of any important news and
with no outside demand, dullness set in,
followed by liquidation. which brought a
slump in December prices to $3.50. Despite
the fact that receipts were the smallest
for any corresponding day in the ten years,
and that Northwestern receipts have not
improved to any extent, there was prac-
tically no rally. December closed weak,
sake depressed, at 69HQ70c. Local re-
ceipts were 1913 cars, none of contract
grade; Minneapolis and Duluth reported
SIS cars, making a total for the three
points or 6Sl cars, against I,Uo5 last week
and SO a year ago. SeabOard ~clearanceS
in wheat and flour equaled 40S, 600 bu. Pri-
mary receipts were S95, 900 bu, against ILL.,
900 a year ago. The seaboard reported i
loads taken for export.
Corn. was quiet, and huctuated within
a range of Lc. The most important fea-
ture was the changing of December hold
ings for May, the difference in the May
premium at one time being 2%c. December
ranged between 564c and 565sc, and closed
rather weak. 1sdAc down, at 563sc. Re-
ceipts were 100 cars.
Oats were again profoundly dull, and
ranged only over sc. At times there was
a slight outside demand, but the actual
transactions were light. Despite this the
market was Independently firm In its UNI
dertone. December sold between 351sg35Ac
and 35ssc, and closed steady, a shade high
er. at the former figure. Receipts were l59
cars.
Hog products ruled steady, with higher
tendencies, based on a stronger hog mar
ket. There was a fair demand at times
from shorts, as well as some demand Tor
lard and ribs from commission houses.
January pork closed 1712c higher at s15.17l2;
lard, 7Ik010c up, at $9.05. and ribs, &c
higher, at $IS71aG790.
Estimated receipts for Tomorrow:
Wheat, 10 cars; corn, $50 cars; oats, lao
cars; hogs, 1000.

RAIDS BY BEAR CROWD
sOUTHWEsTERNs SUFFER BY THE
OFFERING DOWN OF PRICES.
A~maIgamated Copper Continues "a Dis
turbing FactOr-BeIated Southern
Demand for Currency.

NEW YORK. oct. 16.-To-day's stock
market reflected a puzzled and hesitating
mood among professional operators who
again made up the bulk Of the market.
There was a marked disinelination to take
on long stock and some timidity was shown
in making contracts on the short side. Sew
eral special factors turned the tide toward
depression and net losses were the rule,
although they are not important In the gen
eral list. An organized bear campaign
against. A~maIgamated Copper, which was
aided by much outlay of printers ink. IN
settled the market early in the session.
The selling of the stock was by Boston
houses. The price fell at one time 29s under
Yesterday and closed at n net loss of 2
points. The break in copper interrupted
an ineipient rise in Pennsylvania and its
allied stocks. prompted by the report of
the sale of 5000 1000 of bonds by the COM
pany. This was held to account for the
large buying of stock yesterday. The ef-
feet of to-day's announcement, however,
afforded little opportunity for profit taking
on yesterdays purchases, although much
interest was shown as to the purpose to
which the proceeds of the bonds would be
applied. Bullish operators spread reports
that purchases of Atchison were in contem-
plation by Pennsylvania, but there was no
response in the speculation. The market
showed a tendency toward stagnation to-
ward the afternoon until a sharp raid
against the SOuthwesterns later in the day
awakened some degree of activity at the
expense or values. Losses of l to 25s were
made by practically all the members of
the group. Bear operators prOfeSSed TO
detect evidences of inside selling, which
was attributed to the account of the in
terest dominant in the group and supposed
10 be prompted by poor outlook for traffic
on account of bad crops. The money ques-
ton continues a somewhat depressing in
nuence. A transfer through the subtreas-
ury to-day OF $2S0,0 additional to New
Orleans leads to the apprehension that the
belated movement of cotton Will cause large
requirements in that quarter. The renewed
currency movement. the Withdrawals by
the suDtreasury on account of the surplus
revenues and some special demand from
Buffalo to meet a run on a trust company
there will all effect the cash showing of
the banks this week. The market was
weak until the room traders took their
profits by covering their short contracts.
Sales of Lake Shore at 300, a record price.

NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-William Joyce and
his wife, who had been married seven
months, were asphyxiated during the night
at the home of Mrs. Joyce's parents, in
Brooklyn. Joseph Duff, brother of Mrs.
joyce. believes he was the unintentional
cause of the agedy Mr.. and Mrs. Joyce,
who lived in Manhattan, had spent the
evening at the home. of the Duffs and We're
asked to remain over night. They were
given the sleeping room usually occupied by
Joseph Duff, who was away from home
during the evening. When the young man
vent to his room and lit the gas Joyce
smoke TO him and explained the situation,
whereupon Joseph turned out the gas and
went to another apartment to sleep. He
thinks that in his confusion at finding his
room occupied he may have turned on the
gas after the light had been extinguished

Condition of other Markets.

MO- STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS,
Oct. 16.-Cattle-Receipts, 200; shipments,
200. The receipts to-day were no doubt
larger than expected. but not quite as large
as a week ago and $50 smaller than a year
ago. In some instances the quality was
better than any represented for some time,
but generally there was not much improve
ment to note. The market opened with an
apparent demand for strictly choice cattle
in their class, and any that answered that
description sold promptly enough at strong
10 higher prices. The between kinds of cat
tie, however, did not sell any better, and
the market for ordinary stock was every
bit as dull as it has been at any time re-
Gently. The percent. OF cattle that are sell
ing at anything lie satisfactory prices is
so small that they are hardly a criterion of
the market. Steers that in this market are
considered prime sold as high as 500, and

Horses-A very small number of horses
were on sale in the regular auction OF the
Blair-Baker Horse Company. and a small
proportion of the supply was fresh arriv-
ais. most of the offerings having been ami
mails carried over from last week. The
quality was not very attractive to buyers,
and this, together with the small supply,
was responsible for the very quiet market,
but prices usually were up TO the eXpecta-
lions of statesmen and owners.
