CSC lower for May. Corn closed steady to fsc lower;
oats unchanged; provisions steady.
The opening of the wheat market was quiet at
slight reduction from the previous days closing

The market without much life, and
after some orders for outside accounts had been
filled around the opening business fell off to small
proportions and surrendered to the scalp!ng

one taking any prominent part. The trade

a narrow range. There special news to
influence prices much either way, and in conse-

READING STILL SOARING.
Reaches High Record as Result OF
Squeezing the Shorts.

Reading continued on its swift upward course
Yesterday. gaining As points in the first half
hour of the trading and touching the new high
record level of 139Z by o'clock. rs points up
from Thursdays close which had a rather de-
pressing effect on the general list, although no
such Generalization occurred as would make 1t
really probable that the bull party In Reading
were engineering a corner. There was every
indication. however that the big advance In
the stock on Thursday and yesterday was the
result of severe squeeze of the shorts, whose
purchases are estimated having been fully
$4,000 shares.
One of the strongest anI most conservative
brokerage houses in the Street is said to have
covered about $4,000 shares. involving loss of
100000 to customer. and total loss of
nearly s., 100000. It is said that the principal
bear has covered practically ell Of his short
contracts. His identity has not yet become
definitely learned but 1t is declared that the
rurnors which have been current for weeks that
he is widely advertised Boston speculator or
a candidate for the Office of Mayor of this city
are unfounded.
Although the floating supply Of Reading stock
has probably passed almost entirely into the
hands of the strong bull pool, it is pointed out
that 1t would be next to impossible for q corner
to be effected the Baltimore and Ohio and
Lake Shore roads. which own more than $780,
000, 600 of the $4,000, 900 stock of the Reading
a large part Of their holdings being common
stock, would without doubt enter the market as
sellers of their common stock at the present ex-
tremely high prices If it became evident that IN
attempt We're being made TO corner the issue

About three months ago Edward Wassermann
announced that he had bet $4,000 even that
Reading would cross Union Pacific within
year. Reading then selling at about 110
and Union Pacific around 100. Yesterday Union
Pacific high at 134%, five points under
Reading, and in the course of the day the man
who had taken the Union Pacific end of the
wager called at the office of Mr.. Wassermann
and handed him a certified check for 5000.

SESSION OVER A DUPONT TITLE.
Delaware Legislature May Be Called to
Clear One in Wilmington.

TeIegraIh {
Wilmington, Del, Nov. 3.-To give the Dupont
Powder Company clear title to property so 1t
can construct an office building at 10th and
Market SITS. here. it is probable that Governor
Lea will shortly call the Delaware legislature in
extra session at Dover. There is no politics in
the move one of the stipulations being that the
legislators refrain from voting the vacancy
in the Senatorship.
The powder company wants property for
merly owned by a man who died in Scotland.
His will cannot be proved here. 1t is to obviate
this difficulty by enacting general law whereby
such documents can be probated in Delaware
that the Legislature may be reconvened.
The case will be decided at q special meeting
of the Wilmington Board of Trade on Monday
