DECLINES
 MORE THAN CENT
Owing to Heavy Weekend Li-
 quidations
RAIN IS FORECASTED
Corn and Oats Are Easy and Provi- sions Are Weak-Selling By Cash Interests Is a Feature of
 the Days Trade.

Chicago. October 17-Wheat prices on the local exchange declined more than 1c today owing to heavy weekend nquida- tion based on an official forecast of rain tomorrow throughout the winter wheat belt. At the close the losses were 7sQ1Ac, compared with the previous close. Corn and oats were easy and provisions weak.
 The wheat market was weak all day with the exception of a brief period at the opening when prices showed slight gains over the previous close, owing to an advance of barely Id at Liverpool. The market was almost exclusively a weather map" affair and the principal factor was the weather bureau predic- tion of general rains tomorrow in a large portion of the country east of the Rocky mountains which promised a break in the long existing. drouth Absence of any export demand contributed in a small was to the heavy selling pressure which prevailed throughout the entire session. A number of reports were received telling of some damage to early wheat in Argen- tina but other advices claimed the frosts had not injured the new crop. The market closed weak and only a trihe above the low point of the day. Final quotations on December were at 99s@99Ac and on May $1.0214q1 OPS.
 Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 752OOO bushels. Primary receipts were 1,352,0Oo bushels compared with 1,- 039,00 bushels the corresponding day year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chi cago reported receipts of 77S cars against 11O3 cars last week and 632 cars d year ago. Prospective wet weather partially offset the effect of the slump in wheat and prevented any great decline in corn prices, although sentiment was bearish all day. Cash corn was steady at 1ac lower. The market closed easy with prices a shade to 1sQAc lower. Final quotations on December were 631sc and on May, 63ssc. Local receipts were 115 cars, with 31 of contract grade.
 Thade in oats was dull but the mar ket showed more steadiness than wheat or corn, although slight declines were recorded.
 Selling by cash interests was a fea- ture of the trade. Cash oats were steady for ordinary and 19c higher for best grades. At the close prices were 1A4Ac lower. December closed at 4S1sc and May at 50B@Ac. Local receipts were 196 cars
 The weakness of grain and a decline of 5q10c in the price of live hogs caused weakness in provisions, the market being under moderate selling pressure all day. At the close prices were 5@121sQ15o lower.
 Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat. 39 cars; corn, 116 cars; oats 172 cars; hogs 5000 head.
 Leading futures ranged as follows:

This show ing is accepted as evidence of the restora- tion to normal trade condition which is going on in our foreign as well as do- mestic commerce. The feature of the bank statement was the evidence of con tinued loan expansion, somewhat exag- gerated in the $14,075,SOO increase of the clearing house averages, owing to the end week expansion of the week before
 However, the $9,S4O 800 increase in loans shown by the actual condition of the clearing house banws and the $6S35, 300 loan increase by the other banks and trust companies are testimony to the con- tinued pressure for banking credit.

PRINCE FERDINAND
 IS A MUSICIAN

Munich October 17.-Prince Louis Ferdi- hand of Bavaria has played second vio- lin in the orchestra of the Prince Regent opera house for five years, and never missed q performance. He is a doctor of medicine besides, lending his services, gratis, of course, principally to tfA ma- ternity homes of the capital.
 Personally his royal highness is "hall fellow we'll met" always responding to the respectful salutes of officials and others who know him by sight by extend- ing a fat hand and shaking that of the other vigorously. He is a short, rubicund gentleman with white whiskers, glasses and a jolly face. Strangers visiting the Prince Regent opera house are astonished to notice occasionally the second fiddle of the orchestra in the royal box during in- tervals.
 Louis Ferdinand is a great Wagnerite, and Is to be found at concert or opera every afternoon and evening in the year If he isn't himself performing. Regarding his love for music, he says:
 When 1 sit among my colleagues in the orchestra, violin in hand, l am the hap piest mortal in the Kingdom. l hesitated a long while before engaging with ths orchestra, because I was conscious of my shortcomings. l am paid a salary, like the other second fiddles, and the money l contribute to the benefit funds of the musical union, so l cannot be charged with taking away somebody's bread"
 When in the late sos Prince Louis Ferdinand began to study medicine. He has been a regular physician for some time and, besides serving in the maternity sections of various medical clinics, estab- lished a clinic of his own for persons un- able to pay the fees of private hospitals. Of late, he also rented an office in Fur stenstrasse. and hung out sign, offering free consultations to the needy during two hours daily.
 The Prince is proud to say that he doesn't care a rap for politics, and that, moreover, he doesn't understand them. "All desire in that line," he says "is the best possible. understanding between Germany and France. love France and I love Paris, where I spent some of the happiest periods of my life"

THE WAR SCARE
 EXPRESSES STOCKS Feeling However Is Mainly
 Sentimental INSPIRED IN LONDON
With Sunday Interval at Hand There Is No Disposition To Extend Spec uative Commitments-For-
 elgn Trade Statement.

New York, October 1.-The stock mar ket was oppressed by the revival of uneasi-
 ness in Europe over the difficulties aris- ing in the way of a settlement of the Balkan difficulty. Trading in the London market was oyer the day before the New
 York market opened and the effect of the foreign depression therefore was largely sentimental, a large liquidation for foreign account would not accord with the plans of the organized support of the New York market. With the Sun day interval at hand there was no dis position to extend speculative commit ments. The continued Paris demand on London for gold gave rise to discussion of possible measures of protection by the Bank of England. The figures of our own foreign trade statement for Septem- Der pointed anew the anomaly of high foreign exchange rates now prevailing. The $139, 397, ,295 value of exports for the month of September and the excess value of exports for the month of S4l,2s5,5S7 bringing that item for the nine months up to $432, ,66S, ,517. This is the largest trade balance in our favor that has ever been accomplished for the nine months period. Gold has been exported in excess Of im- ports for the same time to the amount of s3O,58O564. The sustained demand for remittances abroad under the circum- stances arouses much interested conjec- ture as to the offsetting occult factors.
 Large liquidation of foreign holdings of American securities undoubtedly present an important part Extra inducements
