WHEAT.
Rumors of a probability OF war between
Russia and Japan circulated quite freely
among wheat traders before the opening
and caused a bullish sentiment. THIS feel
ing was acreutuateI by the comparatively
firm tone or cables in the face OF a de
cline here yesterday. and Dec. opened "a
mand from elevator interests and com-
misslUn-hOuses. the former taking Dec.

OF outside markets, prices showed a fair
advance early. Dec. selling I'D To s0i.c
With the exception OF the war talk, the
news In general was beariEh, and this
caused some selling by local traders, which
resulted In q somewhat easier tone. but q
recovery soon followed on covering by

kC0PPER STOCKS ABSORB
WALL STREETS ATTENTION.
ONE-THIRD OF DAYS BUSI-
NESS IN AMALGAMATED.
Prospect of Greatly Diminished
Reserves in New York Banks
Depressing influence.

New York. oct. Z.-Amalgamated Cop
r-r absorbed an overwhelming proportion
Of to-day's business in the stock market.
For good deal Of the time the dealings
ir this stock were larger than in al others
combined, and It comprised about one
third Of the aggregate sales Of the day.
The days total showed 4 considerable
sshrinksEe from the recent average, and
none but a negative significance could be
drawn from the days market On this
basis Of Interpretation. the market must
ne said 10 have offered a good resistance
TO the days disturbing factor. as has been
tie case all week. From the point OF view
Of the professional traders there was an
Inclination to draw the inference that the
lackset received by the Amalgamated
Copper Company would induce very con-
servative market attitude on the part OF
the Standard oil party. As the profes-
siOnal element lays great stress upon the
supposed attitude of the so-called leading
interests, this inference caused some SEN
timental effect
STANDARD OIL HIGHER.
But the professional impression was
somewhat confused in this regard by the
action OF Standard on itself on the curb.
This stock sold first at points over the
previous close at SIS. and later at 645. the
closing being at ESQ bid There was a very
excited market for Amalgamated Copper
4 at first. At the opening 1880 shares were
> thrown upon the market for simultaneous
safes. which were made at 35A down to
3fG. Within the first few minutes of the
L ding from 80 600 TO 1000 shares changed
.nds. The manifest inside support for
as stock then became effective and raj
led IL a point. Its fluctuations were con-
stant and feverisll during the whole OF
the day. carrying it back to the opening
low point, then completely recovering and
closing at a net decline of u. The de-
Cision 70 shut down the company's works
!n Montana pending the decision on appeal
of the litigation presents a situation whose
seriousness to the corporation can hardly
lie Sclnsaid.
BITTER RECRIAIINATTONS
The principals TO the contest exchanged
bitter recrimlnations through publications
curing the day But the impression gained
force nevertheless that the accumulation
Il the stock was Of q substantial char
acte-. and the supply of the selling showed
some falling on in consequence The
Forecast Of the weeks currency move

k.this is mostly accounted for by the special

very evident that the westward movement
