CHICAGO, Oct 6.-Apparenty the chief
cause of the substantial advance in wheat to-
day has been covering by shorts These have

for cash wheat and have finally covered
Cash spring wheat has not kept pace with
the advance in futures, but winter wheat
has remained firm here and elsewhere. There
has been quite a little increase in the mis-

helped to encourage local bulls and increased
the anxieties of the shorts and finally made
a resting place for a great deal OF wheat
on which the bulls took profits.
CORN-Very little headway has been made
in corn today. Early prices were little
firmer on light receipts, lessened sales Of old

liberal export trade. Later the market came

SPECULAT0RS
HEAVY LIQUIDATION cHARAC-
TERIZES MARKET
Powerful Pool, Embracing Leaders in
Wall Street, Reported to Be Sup
porting Movement-lmpres-
sion Fostered
tBy Associated Press,1

NEW YORK, oct. 6.-There was fur
ther heavy speculative liquidation in
all departments of the stock list today,
and material inroads on prices resulted.
United States steel was at one time
25s lower than last nights closing price
and 73s below the top record price
touched on Monday of this week.
The extent to which this decline af-
fects the speculative world is best
judged by the volume of the dealings,
which are eloquent of the widespread
consequences of the fall on the pockets
of spectators.
Probably the violent relapse in United
States Steel is of most effect in the
tone of the whole market in its purely
sentimental aspect.
The marvellous upward course of the
stock has impressed the speculative i'm
agination as few things of late years
have DONE
A powerful stock market pool en-
bracing the most influential bankers In
the country, was credited with strong
accumulation and support of the stock.
This impression was foStered in every
possible way.
In the same way points of value in
the stock were urged in an attractive
way.
Foreign speculative holders, especial
ly, have grown restive under the unsub-
stantial material on which their hopes
were being fed, and suspicious that
they were following an ordinary stock
market maneuver instead of the
weighty projects of controlling financial
authorities.
Suspicion Aggravated
The suspicion was aggravated by the
signs of pressure to liquidate, which
suggested that leaders and conductors
of the campaign were striving to get
out of their holdings.
The market lost its mainstay with
the failure to sustain United States
Steel, and was especially vulnerable to
the effect of closing loans by the banks.
There was less evidence of calling
loans by the banks today. AS a conse-
ouence yesterdays shorts were dis
posed to cover at the early decline and
prices enjoyed a first effective recov-
cry.
The reception accorded the increase
in the Atchison dividend was the fresh
disconcerting influence. That stock
started upward but stopped nearly 2
points short of its high price on the
movement inaugurated in expectation
of the dividend increase.
At the same time heavy selling of
United States Steel was renewed to
take advantage of the effect of the
move in Atchison. The inferences were
so plain of that stock seeking a market
that sales were renewed in all parts of
the room, and no effective rally was
induced until the bears set about taxi
ing profits again by buying to cover.
Call money went no higher than 5,
compared with the per cent maximum
of yesterday.
Bonds we're easy. Total sales. par
value, $5, 036 000. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.
