Governor Wilson has about de
cided to grant a pardon to Caleb
Powers who has spent seven years
in prison and been to the supreme
court three times, charged with
completely in the murder Of former
Governor Goebel. 1t is also said
that he will pardon Jim Howard
who was convicted several years ago
and is now serving a life sentence,
for the same offense. Powers, an
ticipating a pardon, a few weeks
back was talking of running for
congress, while there are indications
that if pardJned he and Howard
are in danger Of violent treatment,
which suggests quite a gap between
him and a congressional berth

New York. October 15.-There was only A nominal stock market today after the brief period of the execution of orders for foreign account until sudden re- yivaI in the last half hour. Whatever may account for the withdrawal lroin active operations of the strong nnanciai element which has conducted the recent speculation 1t was evident tooay uilae with those operations subtracted nothing was left of the market.
 The attitude of reserve on thelr part may be due to unwillingness to encroaeh further on the money market supplies In the furtherance of a movement with inc election still three weeks in the 1u- ture; for it Is generally assumed In wan street that no active general demand ior securities is to be expected unth aleei the election.

WHEAT BREAKS
 MORE THAN CENT Weak Cables and Absence of
 Cable Demand CORN PRICES ALSO WEAK ots and Provisions Are Steady-Rain Is Reported To Be Quite General
 West of the Rocky
 Mountains.
CORN PRICES ALSO WEAK

Chicago October 15.-Weak cables and an absence of export demand caused a break of more than 1c in wheat prices on the local exchange today. At the close the net losses were 1e to 1sa1Ac.
 Corn was also weak, but oats and pro- visions were steady.
 The wheat market was weak all day, with the exception of a slight rally dur ing the first few minutes of trade, due to active support by several leading bulls. At the start prices were unchanged to Ac lower, but in the first fifteen minutes a rally to a little above the previous close occurred. Toward the end of the first hour the market turned weak and con tinued heavy the balance of the day, clos ing at the bottom. With the exception of the continued dry weather in the south west bearish factors were quite numerous. Chief among these latter influences was a severe slump in wheat prices at the principal European grain centers. A slump in Liverpool, it was said, caused by the fear of an increase in the ship ments of wheat from Argentine this week and reports from that country telling of favorable weather for the new crop. While dry weather still prevailed in the winter wheat section in this country, rain was reported quite general west of the Rocky mountains. An almost total ab- sence of export demand also tended to de- press prices. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 272,00O bushels. Minne- apolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re- ceipts of 752 cars, against 1898 last week and 654 a year ago.
 Owing to free selling of corn by small holders the market was weak all day and closed at the lowest point The greatest activity was in the December option. Local receipts were more than had been estimated, being 147 cars s contract grade.
 Oats were steady, despite the weakness were fairly active bidders and offerings were light At the sample tables prices were steady to 1ac lower The market closed steady, with prices unchanged to hc lower. Local receipts, 1S6 cars.
 Provisions were strong early in the day owing to buying attributed to local pack CTS, but subsequently, nearly all the gain was lost as a result of a falling off in demand The weakness of wheat and corn was a bearish factor late in the day. Prices at the close were 21sc lower to 20c higher
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow Wheat 63 cars, corn 122 cars, oats 192 cars, hogs 16,000 head.

COTTON MARKET
 IS IRREGULAR Transactions Are Comparatively
 Narrow DECLINE AT THE CLOSE October Is Relatively Weak Under Selling By Spot Houses and Offer ines for Better December
 Buying Basis.
DECLINE AT THE CLOSE

New York, October 15.-The cotton mar ket today was irregular within a com paratively narrow range, closing steady at decline of points on october, with other months net unchanged to points higher. Sales were estimated at 125,000 bales.
 The opening was steady at an advance of 8 to z points in response to higher cables, but there was continued southern selling of the late months, presumably for hedging purposes, while excellent weather and reports of rapid progress with ginning prompted realizing by re- cent Wall street buyers. Prices eased off in consequence. but steadied point or two under the closing figures of the previous day and during the subsequent trading showed very little movement.
 October was relatively weak under sell ing by spot houses and offerings which some thought were intended to make d better December buying basis. A large part of the trading represented various switches or straddles by local profession als and the commission house business which was a feature in the markets of the earlier week were less In evidence. Exports for the day were very heavy, more than double the port receipts and the spot markets were generally un- changed
 Receipts at the ports. 46,2O2 bales, against 54,696 last week and 42,2l5 last year. For the week, s6O,O0o bales against 84OOOO last week and 275,752 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans, S624 bales, against 9437 last year and at Hous- ton, 1929 bales, against 602S last year.
