New York stock Market.

NEW YORK. Oct. 24-There was marked
contraction IN the volume Of transactions at
ne stock exchange and corresponding slug
gishness in the movement Of prices today. There
was general assumption that bankers and
strong hnanciers felt opposed TO active specula-
tion at this time and stood prepared TO offer
measures 10 obStruct any efforts 10 stimulate
IT, This understanding in itself went long
way toward olscouraglng any aggressive market
operations. 50 that active measures TO obstruct
them were not called for 10 large extent
The smaller professional traders had the market
entirely 10 themselves and their moderate trans
actions had little effect on prices. The begin
ming OF the London settlement was watched
had been felt that an over extended account In
American securities would be disclosed there
and would be forced out By last weeks rise
in the Bank of England's rate. The rates for
carrying over holdings in the next account were
sunened according to London reports rising TO
SOS per cent on American. There was also a
very active demand for cable transfers on the
New York exchange market in connection with
the settlement Which made ii evident thai the
account in Americans was being largely reduced.
Londons settlement continues until Friday
the New York market is partly based on the
desire 10 see the outcome There was soma
selling OF stocks here again for London account.
Developments in the monney and exchange
markets were rather mixed Money on call was
easier here again There was more confidence
in the effectiveness of the Treasury measure
for stimulating the bank note issues In relieving
the money market. The Sub-Treasury account
shows a considerable withdrawal from the
banks since the last bank statement. but this
IS on account Of the return Of gold received
from abroad which had been advanced 10 the
banks while In transit Foreign exchange here
continued 70 work higher. Occasional upward
movements Of special stocks met with selling
and the undertone OF the dull market was heavy.

CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE.
Future Grain and Provisions.

CHICAGO. Oct. 24.-Weakness in the wheat
market developed about the middle of the
SION Prior to that time the tone of the market
was quite firm on fairly good demand by pit
traders and local shorts. The early bulish senti-
ment was inspired by firm cables and by the
small receipts in the Northwest. Several private
dispatches were received from Argentina claim
ing that the growing wheat crop there had been
greatly benefited by recent rains. and this caused
considerable selling By commission houses The
close was weak. December opened h@Ac to
Ac higher at 1910 to 1914 @73%c. sold of to
72&c, where it closed, 55@Mc lower.
The corn market strong early. but eased
of on proht-taking. December closed unchanged
at 425zc.
The oat market was firm all day December
closed shade higher at 33A @33asc.
Provisions were weak early in the day. but
later the market became moderately firm At
the close January pork and lard were up 71hc
and ribs unchanged
The leading futures ranged as follows:

Potatoes onions nnd Vegetables.

The potato market maintains very firm po-
sition under brisk demand for local and near
by use. and high-grad stock cleans up readily
from day to day at stiff prices River goods
made small advance yesterday and Salinas
Burbanks were quoted at narrower range, while
Oregon Burbanks sold off well at the old quo
fations. with occasional lots of exceptionally
nne bringing small premium Onions remain
very weak, and would be lower but for the fact
prices are already about down to bedrock
Miscellaneous vegetables are coming forward
freely, but nearly all descriptions are finding a
ready market and prices are generally well sus-
tained. String, Wax ano Lima Beans are par

Hay and FeedstuGs.

Ali conditions remain as before stated. Bran
rules very firm. with spot stocks very i ht and
the demand still urgent. The circular of
1--WE report very light shipments of hay to
market during the week ending today. the total
showing 26s0 tons in comparison with 3540 for
the week preceding. Cars have been arriving
rather sparingly. as has been the rule for the
past two or three months. The material lessen
by the scarcity of schooners. Weather condi-
tions have prevented many of them from max
ing trips within the usual time, and many 9TH
ers not equipped with hay coverings have con-
tracted for their winters work on coal brick
gravel, etc, which not affected by the rain
1t is generally conceded that from now on we
will have TO get along with somewhat smaller
feet than during the summer.
The situation Is very strong. owing TO the
light supply and although as a general state
nlent. prices show no material change from the
quotations given during the past month, vet on
some days sales are made at material ad-
vance over same Choice wheat hay is in es-

NEW YORK. Oct. 24.-Liverpool cable this
morning says that the market there feels the
force of frost possibilities, and that there is
good chance to buy long
Price says: THE consensus of opinion is
that ginners' report of even 100000 bales
would be bullish''
Mitchell says: 'sThe market would advance
100 points on report as low as 45oo 900 bales
The New York Commercial says 1.-The brok-
ers representing the bull leader bought freely
yesterday and two other interests were
heavy buyers. 1t a hard market to bull,
however. If the bears had been aggressive they
might have forced break. but the claim is made
with such confidence that the forthcoming gin
ners' report is to be very bulish that they
are very timid for the time heinc. .
