FALLING OFF IN
 WHEAT RECEIPTS Has Strengthening Effect On Market Quotations PROVISIONS ARE FIRM Sentiment In Wheat Pit Is 5ullish During Most of the Days Trading.
 The Corn Market Is
 Weak.
PROVISIONS ARE FIRM

Chicago, October 14.-A falling off in re- eeipts of wheat in the northwest had a strengthening effect today on the local wheat market, final quotations being up ssq1kq9sc. Corn and oats were easy, but provisions were firm.
 Following decline at Liverpool equal to nearly 1c per bushel, the wheat mar ket opened easy, with prices unchanged to 14@ssc lower compared with the previous close Before the end of the first hour, however, prices had advanced about 12c, owing to an active demand by leading bulls, and during the remainder of the day sentiment in the pit was bullish the greater part of the time The continuance of dry weather in the southwest in conse- quence of which the new seeded crop is making a poor start in a greatly reduced area, served as a bullish argument, as did also a marked falling off in receipts of wheat at Minneapolis and Duluth, where arrivals today at the two points were only 632 cars, against HIS the cor responding week last year. The claim was made that farmers in the spring wheat territory have marketed large portion of the new crop, and that stock III country elevators SIlH to come IOrWd1u are comparatively very light. Cash wheat in the sample market was in only fair demand. Shorts were fairly active bidders for wheat late in the day, which caused the market to close at almost top figures Final quotations on December were at $l .01, and on May at $1 O37sq1 .04. Minne- apolis, Duluth and Chicago reported re- ceipts of 67l cars, against 1144 last week and 620 year ago. The corn market was weak, owing to heavy selling inspired by decline of 1ha3c in the price of cash grain. The weakness of the cash mar ket was due to likelihood of a free move ment of new corn in the near future as a result of the ideal weather conditions. The market closed weak at almost the bot tom.
 Final quotations showed net losses of 4 Q9sc to 5sc. December closed at 65ssGg 6394c, and May at 63l4e. Local receipts. 80 cars, IS contract grade.
 The oats market was unsettled, but sentiment was inclined to be bearish the better part of the day. A decline of 1ac in the price of the cash grain had a de- pressing effect on options. The market closed easy, with prices off a shade. De- cember closed at 4S14Q4Sssc, and May at 5OsQ5OAc. Local receipts, 145 cars.
 Provisions were rather weak at the start, owing to renewed liquidation, but sentiment soon became bullish on buying by local packers. The early selling was due to a 1OQ15c decline in the price of live hogs. At the close prices were 21ac low CT to Sc higher.
 Estimated receipts tomorrow: Wheat 6S cars, corn 126, oats 193; hogs 22,0OO head. Leading futures ranged as follows.

CONVICTION IS ABSENT

New York; October 1.-The stock mar ket took on all the aspects of narrow professional affair today. Its varying fluctuations were varyingly meaningless and reflected no convictions on the part of those responsible for the bulk o1 the dealings but merely an attempt to el- feet a movement of prices for trading pur- poses. The volume of the day s-transac- tions was meagre and the constant shit ing of the current of prices demonstrated the feeling of hesitation and uncertainty of those taking part in the market. Yes terday's disposition to revert to minor obscure stocks as a medium for trading became still more marked today, and was in itself an occasion for distrust.
 Such a movement often falls in as se- auence of a previous movement in higher grades and more active stocks in a pur- pose to rectify the proportion or ldlce changes. A number of stocks came lhto activity today which are often neglected for weeks at time; stocks of the cheap est grade and of the most doubtful value. This stirring up of the dregs of the list was regarded as ominous
 To add to the disfavor felt towards the movement a testing process demonstrated a lack of support of stocks of class only a little superior, which were marked up yesterday. Sales of only a few blocks or these resulted in collapse of the prlce. These evidences of the degeneration Of the speculative movement prompted the selling of the general list, which depressed prices. There was no actual news to ac- count for the depression. The call money market continued to show further tone and to suggest some coming curtailment of the superabundance of funds for spec ulative uses, which has been the prime factor in keeping up prices.
 Some of the most influential of the clearing house banks were reported to be withdrawing some parts of the loans they have extended for stock market uses, ana the professional traders were ready to infer from this a changing attitude to- ward the stock market on the part of the powerful eapitalistic groups affiliated with these banking institutions. Last week. heavy loan expansion to provide resources for purchase of foreign offerings of stocks of course diminished, while not nearly ex- hausting the supply of loanable funds.
 New York exchange at Chicago nas risen to a premium since the opening of the week. This can hardly mean sus-

COTTON MARKET
 IS IRREGULAR With a Comparatively Marrow
 Range THE CLOSE IS STEADY Slight Declines Are Due To Good Weather and Disappointing Cables. Receipts Are Heavy Com
 pared To Last Year..
THE CLOSE IS STEADY

New York, October 1.-The cotton mar ket was irregular today within com paratively narrow range closing steady on near months, which were 1 to 5 points net higher, and easy on later position, which were rfet unchanged to 6 points lower Sales were estimated at 12500O.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of points to a decline of points, declines being due to good weather and disappointing cables. while the improve ment on some positions reflected covering and investment buying. During the early session the market worked higher on covering by October shorts, prompted by rnmors that considerable shipments were pending from the local stock and buying of January by a big spot interest.
 After showing a net gain of ? to 6 points the market reacted under realizing and continued southern selling of late positions, but January ruled relatively firm the best during the late trading with shorts nervous over rumors of q possible squeeze in the winter position. Weather accounts were generally favorable.
 Receipts today 63, 435 bales against fl 379 last week and 40,331 last year. For the week 350OOO, against 345 922 last week and 2l5,512 last year. Todays receipts at New Orleans 12,057, against 11,741 last year, and at Houston 20,406, against 6l08 last year.

pension of interior demands for funds, the demand on that account being apparently undiminished, but interior bank reserves are at so high a level that the demands upon New York can be foregone to allow for any actual need of resources here.
 Taking up of new railroad bond issues makes requirement on the money mar ket. The reopening of the labor contro- versy in the English cotton mills threat ems curtailment of export demand for cotton, and is having an effect in holding cotton bills of the foreign exchange mar ket, thus making a factor in the firm ness of exchange rates.
 Discussion of gold exports, however, has been suspended. Reports of the back wardness of demands for anthracite are used to account for the special heaviness of Reading. The Hartman Pacifics were affected somewhat by reports of intended proceedings by the government to relieve mineral lands in Nevada included in the railroad land grants

BoNAPARTE REPLIES.
Explains Manner of Prosecutions Un-
 der Trust Laws.

Washington, October 14-Attorney Gen. eral Bonaparte has replied te a second letter from Josephus Daniels chairman of the press bureau of the democratic na- tional committee at Chicago, in which he complains that in the attorney generals answer to the first inquiry he had not differentiated between the prosecutions un- der the Sherman antitrust law and those under other laws.
 Answering the inquiry specifically, the attorney general states under the Sher man antitrust law, passed in 1890, there have been 65 proceedings in all, 56 under republican, and nine under democratic ad- mihistrations, i6 since MT Roosevelt be- came President in September, 1901,, and nine during the preceding years Among the prosecutions of the democratic admin istration, the attorney general says is in- cluded resistance to the petition of Eugene " Debs for q writ of habeasScorpus.
 It is also asserted that five out of nine proceedings under democratic rule were directed against labor organizations and their leaders, and that under republican rule there have been in all three such proceedings out of 56

Washington, October 4.-The question of the responsibilityS of the owners of a tub that is towing another vessel for dam ages caused by the lowed vessel coming into collision with other craft is raised in the case of McCaulley vs. Roberts, in which a petition for review was filed to- day in the supreme court of the United States. The petition was presented in be- half of McCaulley, owner of the tug James McCaulley, which was towing the schooner H. D. Barrett when, in 1903, the latter collided with another vessel in the Delaware river. The lower court, includ- ing the United States circuit court of ap- peals for the third circuit, held McCaulley responsible. and he asks the supreme court to investigate the case in his behalf.

New orleans Cotton Market.

New Orleans, october 14.-spot cot ton was steady today at unchanged quotations. Middling, sc. Sales were 1900 bales on the spot and 1900 to arrive Cotton futures opened steady at practically yesterdays closing level. Cables were disappointing and the weather map could not have been better, but the selling from the bear side met with large buying orders, which were brought out by the strength shown by New York early in tho morning.
 October, the spot month. rose to a premium of nearly 30 points over De- cember. This was said to be due to the large amount of October contracts held by exporters as hedges against actual sales.
 The market was we'll sustained all day, offerings of the bears heins well absorbed by fresh long buying. At the close the tone was steady and the active positions were l point lower to points higher than yesterday s closing.
