oe the campaign was still held in view as an objective point in the speculation. Evi- dently, however, it it was not considered prudent to wait until the last moment to secure profits on the substantial ad- vSnces which have occurred in prices, es- pecially with the evidence of the numer ous companies will be encountered on that occasion, all bent upon the same purpose. Advices concerning the copper trade gave some ground for assumption of actual betterment of conditions, and prices of the metal were marked up again, both here and in London. A story came from London that a powerful com- bination had been formed among Amer ican producers of the metal to maintain prices. Local confirmation of this report was lacking.
 The weekly reviews of the iron and steel trade was regarded as favorable, and a good effect was produced by state ments of further orders for equipment by some of the railroad companies. An item of the days news that had a cheering influence was the purchase of some large orders of print cloths for future delivery from the New England mills. Rain in the west was of good effect, although the lack of 1t in the Ohio valley was still an influence in strengthening the whole market.

STOCK MARKET Is ACTIVE AND LOWER Speculative Profits Are Digest
 ed After The Rise BIG INCREASE IN ORDERS Volume of Business Evidenced the In- terest In Speculation From Outside
 Sources, But This Activity
 Soon Subsided.

New York, October 22.-A process of di- gestion of speculative profits was in prog ress In today's stock market and its effect on prices was quite clearly mani fest as the day went on. Transactions during the first hour were on very lafge scale, and the market had all the ap- pearance of great strength and animation at that time. Yesterdays demonstration of revived interest and strength had the effect of attracting a new lot of buyers, largely of a minor speculative class. Wire houses and commission houses reported considerable increase in volume of orders from outside sources. It was this demand that was fed by distribution of selling or ders to the relief of the burden of hold ings of the speculative element that has conducted the recent campaign.
 The reaction which followed lacked ex- planation in the news of the day quite as much as the rise of yesterday. The two movements, in fact, were quite generally recognized as complementary parts of the same speculative operation.
 The skill and address with which the movement was conducted gave evidence of the experience and resources of the leaders and gave rise to suppositions that notable old hands at this work were com- ing back into the market. Dealings con- tinued much congested in a few stocks, but the manner in which new stocks were made active and strong to divert atten- ton from realizing sales where the ad- vance has already occurred, strongly re- called the favorite methods of some Of the old leaders of speculative movements. The success of the method was shown by the moderate effect on prices, while the greatest activity was in progress during the first hour When the realizing was detected and the professional element of the room traders attempted to follow the movement by short sales, the market fell into dullness. The profit-taking was not pushed urgently at the expense of values.
 Incidents in the news were unimportant in which politics was the subject Of ae- tive discussion and the approaching end

WHEAT MARKET IS
 AGAIN STRONGER Reports Of Damage in Argen- tina Cause An Upturn EXPORTS ARE MUCH LESS The Corn Market Makes Little Re- sponse to Bulge In Wheat and
 Closes Lower-oats and Pro-
 visions Are Weaker.
EXPORTS ARE MUCH LESS

Chicago, October 22.-News from Argen- tina was again the chief factor in the local wheat market and caused a sharp upturn in prices today Although all of the gain was not maintained, the market closed firm with prices up 14c to 1sc. Corn, oats and provisions were easy.
 The wheat market was strong all day, although sentiment in the pit was less bullish during the final hour. At the open ing the market was influenced by an ad- vance of 9s@Bd at Liverpool which was due to lighter offerings from Argentina and to late dispatches from Rosario which claimed that damage by frost to the Ar gentina crop would reach as high as 10 per cent of the total yield. The market there also was at1ected by a statement made by a European crop statistician on the amount of wheat to be shipped from Argentina this week, this authority claim Ing that the exports this week would be much less than had been indicated by previous advices. An active demand for cash wheat in the northwest and south ket here.
 Weather cOnQ1tOnS Tn tnlS country which apparently had little effect early in the day, caused some selling late in the session. Rain was again predicted in sections of the winter wheat belt which, if it materializes, will promote fall ploughing. The market closed firm with December at 99Sc and May at $1 03Q1 .0SSs.
 Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago report ed receipts of 621 cars against 87S last week and 375 q year ago.
 The corn market made little response to the bulge in wheat and became quite weak late In the session, the close being at the bottom point on nearly all deliveries. Rain in the corn belt was not so general as had been predicted, and offerings of new corn from interior points were larger than for some time past. Prices at the close were h4Ac to asc below the pre- vious close with final quotations on De- cember at 63Ae and on May at 621AQ 625sc Local receipts were SS cars, with 37 of contract grade.
 Oats were firm early in the day owing to general demand, a large part of which buying Was saide to have been inspired by talk of 'deal in the May delivery on the part of leading trader. Selling later in the day by this same dealer, howere, dispelled the visions of a corner and caused free selling. The market closed easy.
 Provisions were weak the greater part of the day because of liquidation brought out by yesterdays sharp advance. An advance of Dc to 10c in live hogs seemed to have no effect. Prices at the close were 21Ac to 10Q1211c lower.

NEW HIGH FIGURES MADE

New York, October 22.-The cotton mar ket was decidedly more active today and prices ruled higher, the close being very steady at net advance of to 13 points, while total sales were reported of SOO,- 900 bales.
 Tue market opened steady at net ad- vance of 1 to points in response to high or cables and less favorable weather in the western belt. After showing a net advance of 4 to 8 points on buying by spol interests of near months, and scattering demand which had aceumu- lated over night. the market reacted or 4 points as a result of realizing, but later firmed up again on continued wet cold weather in the western belt and reports of a more active spot demand. Prices sold into new high ground for the move- ment or to IA points net higher during the afternoon and closed within 1 to points of the best Local spot brokers reported that New England mills were paying an advance of Ac over their of- fers of yesterday but it did not appear that the interior was fully following the advance in futures, although the markets officially reported were unchanged to 3-16e higher. It is reported that cold, wet weather is doing damage to crops in northern Texas and Oklahoma.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, October -(Special)-The widening speculation has been the cause of the advance today Outside interests have undoubtedly been directed to cotton and find the price attractive. It is the belief that decline, if any, cannot be of any very great extent and the aosorp- tion of the early receipts with the constant iteration of improving business in the near future have been of effect in the buying for this hoped for advance. In ltsef It has caused the advance, though the trade is not as confident of permanent improve ments as the optimistic investors
