receipts probably alone have been responsible for
q satisfactory market here for sheep and lambs
this week as compared with other places Most
of the time shippers have been forced out or
the market because there were not enough to get
a shipment after local requirements had been
satisfied. At all times there has been at least
a normal demand from local butchers. and as
q result strong prices have been maintained.

Bank Statement Better Than Expected
and Tone of Stocks Improved.
Meyer & Kiser, Indianapolis.

Meyer & Kiser, Indianapolisl
NEW YORK, Nov 7.-There very little
feature to the stock market to-day until the
bank statement came out, when ii became
stronger and a better tone developed. The
course Of the market during the early part Of
the session was marked by a sagging tendency
and weakness in evidence at various points.
The pressure was not insistent, but the selling
of stocks in many quarters attracted attention
TO the fact that operators the short side were
feeling somewhat more confident of their posi-
ton. The Industrial list the most seriously
disturbed and the steel issues lost substan-
TALLY all their gain made In the late trading
yesterday afternoon. There a movement
directed against Rock Island common. but IL
failed OF any material effect. That stock showed
good undertone although traders took II for
granted that there were some weak holders Of
mat security. Inc granger stocks generally
showed little feature and no marked aggressive
ness. although their resistance to pressure was
in evidence
The bank statement proved to be much bet
ter than had been expected. The particularly
gratifying part Of II was a decrease in loans
amounting to 81, i13. 600. The market developed
strong tone Immediately the publication of
this statement and the whole list reflected the
bctterment. The Erie stocks particularly
ctrong and the steel issues braced and advanced.
The feeling at the close much better.
Sterling exchange was very weak again to-day
and 1t is not improbable that gold will be inn
ported next week.

TO CORNER DECEMBER WHEAT.
st. Louis Parties Trying to Buy All
Insurance on Stored Grain.

ST. LOUIS. Nov. IA plan to corner the st.
Louis December wheat by the buying Of all the
possible insurance of the wheat in elevators,
both the East Side and In this city, is
outlined in information given to the Republic
by insurance men. Corwin H. Spencer. John
7. Milliken. Thomas Akin and Herman Kuehn
are mentioned as the leaders in a movement
which was begun last September which makes
II seem probable that IL will be absolutely i'm
possible for outsiders to store their December
wheat in st. Louis elevators. The supply OF
wheat 1t is said, is greater than the bulls
anticipated and to prevent delivery on the
December deal they have cornered the insur-
ance market on wheat.
OF the 100 insurance companies taking busi-
ness in ST. Louis II is said that everyone OF
them has written policies OF st. Louis and East
ST Louis elevators aggregating about s., SOC, 900.
The Insurance far exceeds the visible supply
in the elevators, but by taking out insurance
for the full capacity of the warehouses at the
marginal price OF wheat the bulls hope to make
II impossible for outsiders 70 store their grain,
which would preclude the insuring of IL and
necessarily prevent the borrowing OF money by
the present shorts. who would De practically
frozen out OF the market.
