CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO. Oct 24.-There was again
very heavy trade in wheat, but the mar
ket suffered somewhat from quite a
showing of beaTish statistics. The trade
was expecting an increase of about q
100000 bushels in the visible supply,
Minneapolis and Duluth alone increasing
about 1900, 600 bushels.
Foreign markets were slow to follow our
advance of yesterday, and the cash trade
was slow. Exports for the week were
the largest of the year, and aggregated
70o0.o00 bushels, as compared with 81,
100000 bushels the previous week and
1852 900 bushels the corresponding week
of last year. There were no shipments
from Argentina, thus completing six
weeks period in which practically no
exports from that country had been
made.
Some of the local conservative bulls
sold out their lines early in the day,
but there was more or less reinstating
later. A fairly good demand also de-
veloped from miscellaneous sources.
mainly of the investment sort. There
was an excited and higher opening for
corn, but all of this gain and more was
lost later, and the close for December
Just a trifie lower than that of yes
terday. May also closed at loss of
MGKc.
The early bulge was taken advantage
of by number of prominent longs, who
threw considerable corn on the market.
The country offerings were small, but
the Eastern shipping demand was minus.
The early strength was due mainly to
receipts of only 1893 cars, of which only
thirty graded contract. Shorts in gen.
eral covered on the first swell, after
which the market was without support
and broke back easily
Oats were a dragging affair. with the
cereal crowd putting considerable De-
cember on sale There was little sup
port from any source. The cash market
was a trifie easier with futures, but the
lower prices stimulated better de-
mand
Provisions were generally lower, al
though the close showed little recov-
cry from bottom nrices. The trade was
to sell in moderate way on
expectations of large receipts of hogs
next week. Western arrivals today were
10 800 against 1850 week ago and 61.-
300 year ago. Packers were evidently
not as bullish on product today as they
have been heretofore.

WALL STREET EXPECTS
GOOD BANK STATEMENT

strained condition in which the money
situation now finds itself by reason, at
bottom, of our inelastic currency and
subtreasury system. this operator be-
lieves. in other words, that the country
requires more money, and that an addi-
tion TO the circulating medium is needed
to insure the continuation of healthy
development of our countrys indutries.
Pending such revision it may be wise TO
go little SLOW
The position of the other market
operator referred to seems to be less
clear. He is openly an intense advo-
cate of higher prices from one end of
the security list to the other. But the
conviction is very strong in the street
that he finds himself at present carry
ing large load of securities which he
has bought at higher prices tt an those
quoted at todays close. and it is be-
lieved that those who sold these stocks
were interests in control of the prop
critics.
Accumulated at High Prices.
There is good reason for the belief,
for instance, that this operator has a
large line of Louisville and Nashville
accumulated at a much higher price
range than at present, on the theory
that at one time during the negotiations
for final disposition of the road an offer
was made to take the property upon the
basis of 4 per cent guarantee upon all
the stock.
Ii was. therefore. certain that such an
offer represented the minimum of ad-
vantage that the Louisville and Nash
vile stock would receive in the final
upshot of the affair
1t was thus the wise thing for a sharp
man with lots of money to buy as much
Louisville and Nashville as he could be-
yond the quantity he had agreed to de-
liver for the control of the road, for las
a per cent guaranteed stock Louisville
and Nashville would sell at 175
These anticipations. as all well-in-
formed people know, have proved
Louisville and Nashville is
a per cent stock, and will remain so

EXODUS OF VOTERS
LIGHT THIS YEAR
Few Government Employees Will Take
Advantage of Proffered
Half Rates.

1t was reported yesterday morning at
the joint agency, 1920 + Street north
west, where certificates are issued en-
titling Government employees wishing 10
go home to vote to half rates on the
railroads. that up to this time less than
1000 certificates had been issued.
The exodus of voters in comparison
with last year and four years ago is
very light. After tomorrow no more
certificates will be issued until October
20. Mr.. Webb, who has been in charge
of the agency for number of years,
estimates that less than $500 voters
will be away from Washington this year
on election day.
