GOOD ADVANCE In WHEAT
BULLISH SENTIMENT DEVELOPS ON
THE HEAVY EXPORT DEMAND.
Bearish Statistics Ignored-Corn and
Oats Are Lower-Hog Products
Show Small Mixed Changes.

CHICAGO, O6t. ga continuation of
good cash and export demand, together
with buying by the Northwest, gave
strength to what to-day, and the close
was firm, December closing 12c higher,
corn NC lower ahd oats kQAc down. jan
uary provisions closed from a shade lower
to &c higher.
Wheat ruled strong throughout the great
er part of the day, due to a continuation
of a good cash demand. together with
heavy buying for export Smaller receipts
in the Northwest were also strengthening
factors. The weather was generally fa-
vorable for the movement and cables were
Indifferent. but the local crowd was in
clined to ignore these bearish features.
and gave the m frket fair support. Decem-
ber opened a SHADE lower to 1sc higher at
72ssQ72Ac to 727sc, advanced TO 7Sc, but re-
acted to 72%c OH selling by prominent To-
CAL Buying by some of the early sellers
advanced the price, but a slight decline oc-
Cured toward the close. which was 15c
higher at 73Ac. Clearances of wheat and
flour were equal to 421,0O0 bu. Primary re-
ceipts were 1.es3. 900 bu, against 1,25O,000
year ago Minneapolis and Duluth re-
ported receipts of S33 cars, which, with
local receipts of 211 cars-nine of contract
grade-made total OF l,Vf4 cars, against
1,1S5 last week and J. 109 year ago.
The volume OF trade in corn was rather
light and the tone of the market was
weak, although there was a fairly firm
feeling manifested early in sympathy with
wheat. The principal bear factor was a
continuation of; fine weather and bearish
reports from th;, Southwest. The wheat pit
is absorbing the attention of traders and
trading in corr is being left to scalpers.
The market closed easy with December
1zc lower at 5la5llsc, after selling between
50&4c and 5llaQ5fNc. Receipts were 345 cars,
81 of contract grade.
Oats were dull and the market lacked
support. prices being slightly lower. There
was some changing from December to
May, which was about the only feature.
December closed 1sQAc lower at 303sc, aft
er ranging between 30a4c and 311sc. Re
ceipts were 43f cars.
Provisions were traded in fairly well and
prices were higher under the leadership
of lard. which was in fair demand. jan
uary pork CLOSED a shade higher at $15.65,
lard was sc higher at s9.S21s and ribs were
q shade lower at $S.25.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat,

Wool.

BOSTON, Oct 2s.-Wool continues strong with
the tendency upward. Sellers seem contented
to let the market take its course, well knowing
that without boom or excitement all the wool
they have will be wanted at better prices. Manu-
facturers have been in the market both large and
paying full prices and prices little higher in a
good many instances. Mill representatives admit
that they have smaller stocks of wool at hand
than usual at this time and that continual
running OF the mills means a good deal OF wool
buying. Territory wool is in very strong po-

The Rage for Risk.
Leslie's Weekly.

A list made I'D by us at random from
newspaper accounts and without any
thought of completeness of the number of
persons who have lost their lives through
this passion for risk, the love of hazard.
during the last few months, makes a total
of several hundred. This includes some
forty-five persons who have lost their lives
in automobiles, seventeen who have
missed their footing in balloon exhibit
tions, nine who have been ushered out of
existence by the means of the bicycle and
its allied contrivances, two who have
climbed steeples for the last time, three
bridge jumpers seventeen Alpine climbers,
five long-distance swimmers, seven who
have been blotted out of existence in ef-
forts 10 break athletic records, and scores
of others who have gone to a better and.
II may be hoped, safer land by various
other agencies or methods designed osten-
sibly to promote the joys of this present
life. III to this list We should add the 800
other mountain climbers who, IL is said.
have lost their lives in the Alps during
the past ten years, the total sacrifice OF
human life TO the rage for risk would in
deed assume formidable proportions

PRIVATE WIRE ADvICEs.
Narrow and Professional Market,

NEW YORK, Oct. 2S.-There was heavy
tone shown at the opening. and there was
some slight scattering liquidation. Quota
tions for Americans in London were lower,
but purchases were made for that account
In the first half hour, when the market
hardened and showed some Improvement in
the general list. This was nothing except
short covering, and on the advance London
sold what 1t had bought at the opening.
Among the railroads the features Of
strength were st. Louis & San Francisco
and Texas Pacific. The first named ad-
vanced points on the excellent showing
made for the third week of October. The
latter advanced points on pool buying.
What advance there was eliminated soon
after noon, when the market became very
dull and for the rest OF the session re-
mained quite steady. 1t was the smallest
days business recorded for the past six
months. Exchange remained quite firm,
but no talk of immediate gold shipments
were heard. The money market did not
show any special change.

zs.-Cattle-Recsipts. 1000; shipments small The
comblhed receipts Of cattle for two days show
an increase OF over 400 compared with the same
time last week and 800 compared with the cor
responding time year ago. The receipts to-day
were fairly liberal. being fully large as a
week ago and a year ago, but large
number OF the arrivals not on sale.
The quality and condition OF the Of
ferIngs was much the repre-
sented last week, thero being a scarcity or an
entire absence OF strictly top kinds in their
class. At the start statesmen inclined to
expect higher prices. and they were Offering
their sonsignments that way. but 1t soon dsvel-
oped mat there would be no urgent competition
between buyers. and therefore 1t was impossi-
BILE to make a general improvement in the mar
ket Occasionally. however something that just
suited the fancy Of buyers brought strong to
higher prices Nobody knows what buyers would
have done with the better class OF CATTLE but.
IL keeping with other places ii would naturally
be supposed that strictly thick fat stock could
have been sold at better prices. IL Is not ad-
vIsabie for shippers to buy common to medium
kinds expecting them to sell higher. There was
outlet for practically all fat cattle to-day,
and while prices generally euotably
higher they were not altogether below the ex-
pectations OF dealers. Quotations:
