Flour Sales Good and Millers Obliged
to Draw on Terminals for
Wheat.
Reports, Verified in Part Only, Of
Wheat Damage by Frosts in
Argentine.
Little Wheat Coming g-The Market
Strong, but Nervous and
Erratic.

Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce. Oct.
15.-Strength In wheat, another notch up
for both December and May, and an ac-
tive market, with nervousness and un-
certainty the features, Minneapolis millers
sold some good lots of Hour. at prices very
satisfactory and were In the cash mar
ket bidding for wheat. No. 1 northern was
very firm and No. was picked up readily
after which the millers, unable to get
enough off the cash tables, turned to ele-
yators and drew out enough to fill up to
Requirements. AS local stocks have In
creased only $4,000 bu so far this week,
1t is unlikely that any considerable In
crease will be shown in the Saturday re-
port, since millers are obliged to cut in.
December wheat having closed yesterday
at 79hc, was UP to S0Gc in the early
bulge and May from yesterdays close at
.78%c, was up to 1915 @0S0c, and when these
prices were touched such general strength
was shown as to indicate that still higher
figures were likely. From New York came
the speculative feature of the morning
in the form of report to the effect that
Argentine has suffered from frosts. This
was enough to turn the shorts extremely
nervous, but 1t was noted at once that
Liverpool said nothing Of this and that
the Broomhall cable brought no report Of
1rosts. Later a Chicago house, having a
correspondent in Rosario, got direct word
to the effect that there had been no i'm
portant frost damage. The market. how
ever, renamed SLrOnB. ILlVSTpOOl WAS 70 u
up on later cables, which was a great
help. The Price Current says the outlook
for the new crop winter wheat is good and
that the position Of corn Is we'll main-
tatned. The weather is still uncertain
and. while the prediction Is for fair and
warmer weather tonight, the map shows
IA large area southwest Of Minnesota over
cast. and heavy rains in Missouri, with
lighter precipitation In Iowa and Kansas
Minneapolis received 273 cars, against
b65 last year; Duluth 400, against 250 and
Chicago 70, against 95. Kansas City had
$4,000 bu, against $4,000 and St. Louis
10000 against $1,000.
Armour was reported to have bought
wheat In Milwaukee yesterday to bring
down to Chicago to help him out on
some deliveries. It Is the gossip in the
trade that Armour is on the short side.
Sixty loads were reported taken for ex-
port, and good sales of No. 2 red were re-
ported in the Chicago cash market.
Primary receipts 100000 bu, against
1,244,000 bu, and shipments $4,000 bu,
against 1880 'bu. Wheat and -four clear
ances 10000 bu.
The market UP to s034o for De-
cember and to SOC for May at high points,
but near the close December fell off to
S0Mc and May to 79B@79Ac.
. Millers bought everything they could see
on the cash tables that they could use.
No northern sold higher, going from
S41sc to 85c. averaging S41ac. No.

METAL STOCKS DOWN.
Pressure Also Brought to Bear Upon
Isues Of Railroad Equipments
Companies.
The Railroads Hold Firmer A New
Low Point Touched in
Copper.

New York, Oct. 15-The tone Of the
opening stock market was Irregular. A
number OF the metal stocks and of the
Vanderb1lts We're heavy while the prin-
Vances; Amalgamated Copper ran off %
TO yesterdays low level and Cleveland,
Colubbus, Cincinnati & st. Louis dropped
lk American Car preferred rose q.
Ihe early trading showed pressure
against industrials and resistance by the
railroads. Stocks Of railroad equipment
companies showed the most weakness but
the general metal group was also heavy.
Anaconda declined 2A, Locomotive pre-
Ierred rs, Leather preferred 2, and Anal
gamated, Lead preferred the Pressed
steel stocks, Locomotive and the Smelt-
ing stocks to IL. American Car pre-
ferred was lifted to 621k despite the de-
preston In kindred stocks. But little i'm
preston was made on standard stocks,
altho the opening small gains were quite
generally Cancelled. Purchases of ST.
Paul, Atchison, Reading and Brooklyn
Transit on rather large scale rallied the
entire market.
Amalgamated after selling at 335s, a
low record, recovered to IS and again fell
below last night
Light selling developed again to which
the principal railroad stocks were the
most sensitive. ST. Paul, Baltimore &,
OHIO and Reading sold a, point below the
highest and the railroad list generally
ruled slightly below yesterdays final
prices. Peoples Gas declined Il, and
Pressed Steel Car preferred g. but the
specialties otherwise were but little
changed. The undertone became steadier
near one o'clock.
Railroad stocks were mainly better out
side of Baltimore & Ohio which showed
net loss of a point. Obscure specialties
suffered from light liquidation, Cotton
Oh, Linseed preferred and Biscuit losing
1902, and Biscuit preferred 81. Anal
gamated rose strongly to 35A and Ca
madam Pacific also improved 1 point.
A decline Of nearly 9 points in Norfolk
& Western and a point in Chesapeake &
Ohio, following the fall in Baltimore 8
Ohio, was attributed to the reported re-
duction in soft coal freight rates to the
seaboard. Delaware & Hudson and Read
Ing second preferred also fell a point
Brooklyn Union Gas ", Colorado Fuel
2, Woolen preferred ~, Biscuit 2M and
Smelling preferred g. Pittsburg, G. C.
ST. Louis rose 81 and Republic Steel
preferred IL. The announcement of the
regular dividend on Amalgamated Cop
per and Anaconda passed almost without
notice. Some buying Of Reading followed
the announcement of the dividend on the
second preferred and induced some hasty
covering Of shorts at lower points. The
closing was quite strong and active. -.
