IAlbert r. ThomIton & Co., Indianapolis
CHICAGO. Nov. x.-Wheat had an upturn
after the weakness tof the early days of the
week. There was a sally here Of &c to &c and
there were better re tveries in the outside mar
kets. st. Louis wasf1Sc higher, and New York
was 1 cent higher OF its December. New York
claimed a large export total. some reports as
high as eighty loadf. The strength seemed a
natural reaction aftsr the decline. The news
had not much TO dol with the situation. There
was fine weather everywhere. The snow report
and the Modern NIGER were rather bullish in
suggesting a moderSe winter wheat area and
not perfect weathe1 conditions. Cables were
up slightly. Some 4emand for December near
the close promptly narrowed up the discount.
There was a firm Sorn market and a better
speculative trade. the futures advanced &c.
There was the sam1 sort OF buying there was
yesterday by localss who feel bullish. There
also was a more q neral commission buying.
The pit was full of t4sders all the session. Cash
was steady to Hc hi1 .er. Cables were Lc TO nc
UP. Oats We're stront; futures Nc 10 nc higher
and car lots Lc up. s.ats for several Gays have

though there is a falling of in the marketing Of
cattle there has been no material Improvement

are, continue fully equal to the demand. At
the opening to-day there was reasonably active
competition for the better grades Of cattle. and
any that answered that description were salable

have sold at the close OF last week. 1t appears
that a few country buyers have confidence in
the future market. and there was a very fair
demand from this quarter for good cows, which.
Of course, caused a little sharper competition
from local buyers, and early transactions were
usually at stronger and possibly a shade higher
prices than yesterday. AS soon as country orders

Railway Stocks Break Away from De-
pressing Influences.
Meyer & Kiser, Indianapolis

IIeyer * kiser, Indianapolis
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-Perhaps the most sig
nihcant thing in to-day's stock market was the
disposition of the railroad stocks to break away
from the depressing influence of weakened in
dustrials. just the moment liquidation ceased In
the afternoon an upward movement started IN
the railroad stock and a good undertone, with
aggressive resistance to pressure, became mani
fest. There is a great deal of comfort for the
bullish contingent in this state OF affairs, but or
course IL must not be accepted as a sign OF any
pronounced upward movement in that quarter OF
the market. Railroad reports continue excellent
and traffic returns could not be better. but
there is scarcely a railroad in the country
may be nothing more than a conservative step
To neutralize increased cost of labor and materi-
shrewd deduction that a contraction in business
will anect the railroads as well as industrial
proseeross a9d deiifa ssem n I Taisr . iona r ery to hard
times where they are concerned. Their conserva-
tism must be commended and the outlook is
ness.
New low records for steel stocks we're made
aseorde s1I 6S the ahG Gn dhs a States s Pp1ef Company S5 pan wd It
is generally reported that the cut in steel billets
all finished products. It is highly probable that
the price of steel rails will be maintained at SIS
q ton for some time to come, but the railroads
are Withholding orders and demanding that the
price be made s26 a ton. All the allied steel, iron
and car equipments company stocks were af-
fected alphabetically by the weakness in
United states steel; smelters. Republic Iron
were affected. They rallied at the afternoon
when support was extended to the steel issues
and these stocks advanced a point. The realty
issues were extremely weak and 1t looked for a
time as If there had been a raid on these
stocks Illinois Central and Alton were very
strong throughout the day, giving color to the
rumor of a consolidation OF these two properties.
There is no reason to believe such a consolida-
ton probable. The traction stocks acted fairly
well and a certain clique is again operating in
that quarter of the market. The stocks are well
held. The tone at the close was fairly good.
Heavy losses of cash have been made by the
banks again this week and the preliminary
estimate shows fully ten millions. This may
not be all reflected I'm to-morrow's bank state
ment, but a good statement Is seemingly out of
the question.

WHEAT ~ GOOD DEMAND
EXPORT sALrIs ADD STRENGTH TO
THE D4cEMBER PRICE.
Is Stronesand Oats Also Close at
an acknowledgements Lower
in All Departments.

NovS 6.-After ruling weak the
greater part OF thu day wheat turned firm on a
better EXPORT demskd. and closing prices showed
a fair advance, december being up 1zc. Corn
was &c to %c hig. er, and oats were up sc TO
&c. but provisions were weak. closing from so
TIC to 2oc lower.
Firm cables cau3d a better tone in wheat ar
the start, and Dectmber opened a shade to IA
&c higher at 7S%H1Sc. Confirmation Of a report
that !. OO0. 600 bu of No. l northern had been char
tered at Duluth td come here brought out gen.
eral LIQUIDATION ee$ly in the session, and the
market turned we4k, December selling of to
77Mc within the fist hour of trading. On the
decline there was "a good demand from shorts
and commission lAuses, and with less offer
ings prices again 4 arted upward. The strength
in corn was a bullEfactor during the latter part
of the day. as wkre higher prices in outside
markets, with a fslr advance at st. Louis. Re-
ports of over so boatloads taken for export caused
a sharp demand fr4n shorts during the last few
minutes of tradingk and closing prices were at
the top, Decembert being up 1zc at 7s%47S3sc.
Clearapces of wheft and flour were equal to
IA. 500 bu. Primaik receipts were 1,342. 900 bu,
against !, 5s5, 200 blu p year ago. Minneapolis and
Duluth reported redfipts of sec cars. which, with
local receipts of 10icars, none Of contract grade,
made a total of st cars, against 94 cars last
week and 1.Oss carsfl year ago.
Sentiment in the fora pit was bullish and the
market ruled stropk. There were reports from
Nebraska and Others parts of the corn belt show
ing considerable SGT grain, and the theory on
which the local crowd was working was that in
another week or ten days the pressure from the
old corn would be der, and this poor corn would
then begin to comefon the market. Commission
houses were ACTIVE buyers, but offerings were
only moderate. At:er selling between 44ac and
44Ac December clos$d nc to sc higher at 44zQ
44fc. Receipts wSe ga cars. 70 Of contract
grade.
Oats were strong. particularly December. which
was influenced larf:ly by a strong cash situa-
ton, and the strength of the nearby delivery
helped the more diSant ones. The bullish feel
ing in corn infiuent$d a good deal of buying by
the local crowd. Tse close was at the top. with
December lzc highef at 35%c. after ranging be-
tween 35ssc and 35%f. Receipts were las cars.
Provisions were fIl and easier, with a de-
