From Army to Navy.

Gordon A. Dennis, former lieutenant
in the Twentieth Infantry, whose pc
culiar conduct at the Southern Police
Station Monday night caused him to
be locked up in the detention ward of
the Central Emergency Hospital, will
enlist in the Navy as soon as he settles
his affairs, according to the statement
he made yesterday, says the Chronicle.
A night IS rest had so far improved Den
mis- that he was allowed to leave the
hospital yesterday.
Dennis came to San Francisco Mon
day on his way from the Monterey
Preside to Boston, Mass, where he
has wife and two children. He has
been drinking heavily for weeks, and,
according to the physicians at the hos
pital was on the verge of delirium
tremens when he arrived there Monday
night.
Dennis. who is about thirty-fve years
old, had spent nearly fourteen years in
the Army. He was two years at West
Point, and at the outbreak of the war
with Spain enlisted as a private in a
cavalry regiment. He was soon pro-
NOTED to first sergeant. He was five
years in the Philippines.

STOCK MARKET |S
 STILL VERY WEAK Sales For the Day Show Small
 est Total in a Week MOST ORDERS ARE SELLING Liquidation Begun on Monday Con tlnues Until Near the Close
 When a Slight Reaction
 Causes Partial Recovery.
MOST ORDERS ARE SELLING

New York. October 13-The stock mar ket relapsed into quiet today, the days sales falling to the smallest total in over a wee. The fact that this subsistence or activity came after a check to the de- cline had been accomplished and became more pronounced as the level of prices advanced gave an impression of techni- cal weakness in the market position. There was active selling during the morn ing in continuation of liquidation from which the market suffered on Monday The accumulation of orders over the holiday, mostly on the selling sides, and these came both from home and foreign sources. The low prices which resulted during the first hour was lower seneraiiy than in the active selling on Monoay' and consequently the lowest touched on the reaction.
 This selling seemed to cover the re- o,,,ranents forced by the narrowing of the money market for the time being. It's completion left an uncovered snort m terest, which set about buying stocks when the subsistence of the houdatlon was perceived. The money position re- cnained the central topic of interest In stock market discussion. Cash holdings If the New York banks continue to diminish before the demands of the in terior for currency. those demands find ing a scope also in the shifting or pay ment to the government on the New York banks by means of drafts, which were responsible for the drain to the sub treasury. The sum taken by that insti- tuition from the banks for the banking week has risen to s3,6SS,000, which is sew era1 hundred thousand dollars in excess of the sum lost to the same point In the corresponding period last week.
 The frightening of the money market was operative in the time loan division today. where bid rates for most maturl- ties were advanced to 4s4 per cent and the asking rate to per cent. Prime grades of commercial paper continued 4% to 6A per cent. Stock brokers who have depended on call loans in the confidence that money would remain easy throughout the fall, are active bidders for time loans. The call money branch was less affected, the demand there suosiding with the stock market liquidation, which had been affected.
 Foreign money markets continued to ut ter their warning against further inroads from American borrowers by putting up discount rates. Private discount rates in London rose well above the bank rate' pointing clearly to the prospect or an other rise in the bank rate tomorrow Foreign exchange rates here were respon- give to the hardening money rates abroad -ather than here, and rose strongly away

WHEAT MARKET
 ADVANCES SHARPLY Heavy Buying by Northwest
 MillerS Causes Upturn
CASH DEMAND IS GOOD
Corn Market Is Heavy During the Day Owing to Effect of Cold Weather. Oats and Provisions
 Close Weaker.

Chicago, October 13-In response to do- nestle and foreign changes, the wheat market on the board of trade advanced sharply today and with a falling off of 1ac from the high figures closed steady with 1 to 17sc gain over Mondays figures. Corn. under the influence of good harden ing weather in the corn belt, dropped off, and oats were a trif1e lower, while pro- visions fell off under the pressure of drop of 10c to 15c in live hogs.
 A strong market for wheat was built up by heavy buying by northwest millers. The rough weather yesterday started fears for the spring wheat and in some quarters was credited with eousing in- creased buying, forcing the cash wheat up. Continental markets were strong, and the demand for grain was not affect ed by the liberal offerings of Russian wheat. Continued reports of lessened Ar genuine output, due to decreased acreage, and reported locust devastation, strength reflex effect locally.
 The corn market was heavy throughout the day, the cold weather having started husl1ing and cribbing in different parts of the corn belt. placing the crop be- yond expectations of injury. Some new corn. notably from Illinois, made it's ap- pearance on the market. Anticipations of large average of the new crop was a drag on the market. although the offer ings today were light and receipts were slightly in excess of the estomate.
 There was little huctuation in the mar ket and no export demand. December closed ssc lower and May 1sc lower than Mondays final quotations.
 Midway between the strong wheat and the heavy corn market, oats remained firm, supported by early influential buy ing Cash oats advanced trife and the primary receipts were below those of last year
 Prices In the oats pit shifted through the day in an extremely naddow range. De- cember closing at c, where the market stopped Monday, and May at 1sc lower than Mondays closing prices.
 Provisions. answering to the break in live hogs, fell off. The trade was slow through the day, little demand being visible, although there was some comms- sion house activity. Closing prices ranged from 121sc to 25c lower for ribs, to 20 to 22hc lower for pork.

NEW HIGH RECORDS IN COTTON MARKET Trading Is Active and Excited
 Upon Frost News LIVERPOOL IS VERY STRONG Market Becomes Very Active Upon Cold Weather News and All of-
 ferines Are Well Absorbed
 by Eager Bulls.
LIVERPOOL IS VERY STRONG

New York, October 13-An active and excited advance carried the cotton mar ket to new high records for the season during todays trading, as result of frost news, and the close was firm at practically the best point, at an advance of 14Qc9 points on the general list, as compared with the closing prices of Mon day.
 The frost news reached Liverpool be- fore the local opening, leading to much better cables than expected, and while at first there was a disposition here to belittle the importance of the low tenn peratures, opening prices were firm ana 1 to IA points higher.
 Realizing caused a reaction or or points early, but as the official weather details came in confirming the early pri- yate reports of light killing frosts quite generally over the northern half of the belt on Tuesday night, the market oeVei- oped increased activity, with the trading through commission houses indicating the cold weather was cousing further reduce ton in popular views of the crop. AS the market entered new high ground, many of the big buyers of the morning turned for profits but offerings were ex- tremely well absorbed by broadening outside speculation and gains were fully sustained, with December selling at lS.b1 and March at 13.71c, comparing with 12.97c and 13.02c, the low level Of last week, and with 1s57 and 1892, the high previously
 The tropical storm which threatened the eastern belt Monday moved out to the Atlantic on Tuesday, without entering the cotton country, but outside markets were firm over the local holiday and to- days advance had the encouragement of bullish trade and spot advices. As officially reported early, southern spot markets were unchanged to Ac higher. The forecast was for frost again tonight In the eastern belt followed by higher temperature. Southern bulls were big buyers here during the day
 Receipts at the ports today were 62, 139 bales, against 70.4s0 last week and @,565 last year; for the week, 375,00o bales, against 417SS3 last week and S72,s11 last year. Today's receipts at New Orleans were 12,361 bales. against F, O57 last year, and at Houston 929S bales, against 2406 bales last year.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, October 1S.-(Special.)- Europe received advices of the frost in the northern section of the cotton belt last night before the official reports were rceived here from the government, and Liverpolo surprised the trade by an ad- vance to the highest point of the year. During the morning profit taking pre- vented Liverpool from having any great influence. So 1t wasn't until the official reports were received showing temper ature freezing and below in Arkansas, northern Mississippi Tennessee, north ern Alabama and Georgia that the mar ket advanced, closing firm at the highest point of the year. The predictions are for frost in the Atlantic states tonight, Europe continues to take cotton on a large scare, the exports being over 11o,0oO bales and about 100000 over last season. Somebody must be buying this cotton for spinning in Europe, regardless of short time, or these exports would not be so heavy

from the gold import qpoint. It is prob able thAt accumulation of exchange has begun against some saf the heavy ma- turities of American indebtedness, which fall due about November 1. Attempts at renewal of maturing foreign loans are obstructed by the later developments in the money markets. September exports of agricultural products showed some im- provement, thanks to the high price of cotton, but the sustained value of im- ports is believed to be sufficient to keep the balance against this country in the foreign exchange market. Not much at- tention was paid to general news develop ments. Strength in Missouri. Kansas and Texas was said to be due to accumula- ton. but the demand died out when the general movement turned upwards. The southern storm and western cold wave, with the property damage involved were not in favor of values. The market later had somewhat unsteady appearance, but last prices were only slightly be- low the best.
 Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par value, $3,S30, 900. United States bonds were unchanged on call.
