WHEAT DECLINES
 ON BIG RECEIPTS
Bulls Are Encouraged ByFirm-
 ness of Cash Wheat
SMALL GAIN NEAR CLOSE
Corn Declines on Profit-Takine Sales and Close Is Little Above Low Pont-Oats Close Weak and
 Provisions Steady.

Chicago, October 21.-Grains closed lower today wheat and corn at no time going as high as yesterdays prices. Provisions ad- vanced uniformly. ribs making gain of 171kc.
 Wheat opened weak, but the downward trend was stubbornly contested by the bulls and December at the close was unchanged to 1sc lower at s1.04ss. May sank on the final figures ssq1kc below yes terday.
 The big factor was weakening of prices for cash wheat in the southwest, coupled with a larger run of western hard winter wheat.
 The bulls were encouraged by the firm ness of cash wheat here and the milling demand in the northwest Northwest mills in the week Just passed made an increase of 100000 barrels in the flour out put, and are credited with being sold up to February.
 The bullish efforts bore fruit at the close, when gain of earlier losses was recovered.
 The corn pit today reversed the bullish movement of yesterday and proft-talxing sales kept the quotations declining for a time. Resting orders absorbed the offer ings at the low point of the day, and prices then steadied. Light country re- ceipts were counterbalanced by meager eastern demands. December closed 1kQ ssc lower than the final figures of yester- day.
 Oats dropped off sharply at the outset in sympathy with wheat. Later partial re- covery developed. Cash oats fell off Ac in the sample market. Primary receipts today were less than for year ago. In the closing sales December, May and July were each 1sc lower than yesterdays finals.
 In the provisions market October lard took a sharp jump up in the early trad ing, advancing 221hc. Other commodities advanced In smaller measure and profit taking sales made the market more nor mal. The gain in provisions prices was coincident with an advance of 10n15c in live hogs
 Closing prices ranged from unchanged to 171sc for pork and unchanged to 71ac higher for lard and ribs.
 Leading futures ranged as follows.

SLIGHT CHANCE IN
 COTTON PRICES
Market Is Nervous and Irregu-
 lar During the Session
GINNERS' REPORT BULLIsH
In Spite of the Showing of National Ginners' Report Prices Are Ham mered Until Near Close
 Which Is Higher.

New York, October 21.--It was a very nervous and irregular market for cot ton today and prices reached their best level in the late trading, the close be- ing officially termed "barely steady" Last prices, however were in a point or two of the top. Net changes for the day ranged from an advance of 1 point to a decline of points The market opened at a decline of to points on' active months In response to disappoint Ing cables; quickly rallied on overnight buying orders to within g. nnint ar two of last nights final; then eased off un- der bear pressure and liquidation
 The publication of preliminary re- port from the National Ginnersl assoeia- tion, making the amount of cotton ginned to October IS only 5.Ss400O bales, and es timating that 79.6 per cent of the crop had been picked against 4 per cent last year, was even more bullish than rum ored, but did not further stimulate de- mand and while there was more or less irregularity the course of the market was generally downward until prices showed a net loss of about 10 to Il points. There seemed to be no par ticular item in the news in favor of this decline and when 1t was found that disappointment over the reception of the glnners report was not leading to liqui- dation by the larger southern bulls, some of the early sellers turned to cover, run ming the price of December up from 13.67c to 13.S0c-the seasons high record-while May advanced from 13.75c to 1S.SSc.
 There were plenty of buying orders around the ring at the close. December ar 13 78c and May at IS S5c bid. Weather reports were without special feature, while private spot news claimed gen. erally steady interior markets and it was reported that a south Alabama spot firm had failed, owing to it's inability to fill export engagements made earlier in the season. The census ginning re- port is expected on Monday
 Receipts at the ports today. 54,OO0 bales against 62,591 last week and 6S,672 last year. For the week. 450,OO0 bales against 440, eos last week, and 417675 last year.

SLIGHT ADVANCE
 IN STOCK MARKET Advance h Bank of England Rate Is Bearish Factor BIG DEMAND FOR MONEY New York Money Market Is ouieter Than London and Stocks Take Fresh Start and Make Small
 Advance.
BIG DEMAND FOR MONEY

New York, October 2L-The attention of the financial world was focused on the Bank of England today again. By a third weekly advance in the, discount rate, a full 1 per cent to per cent, todays 5 per cent rate represents a rise of 21s per cent, doubling the bank rate in two weeks.
 Such drastic action Is rare except in panic times and must be accepted as an indication of extraordinary conditions. On October s1. 1907. the rate was raised to b1s per cent from 41k per cent in re- sponse to the banking panic which had broken out In New York On Novem- Der following the rate went to 6 per cent and on November ' to z per cent, as a result of the demand from New York for rescue purposes.
 A closer parallel to the present situ- ation will be seen in the occurrence of the fall of 1906, when the bank raised it's rate to per cent, September 1S; to per cent on October Il, and to per cent on October 19
 The protective measures In that case were directed against the New York borrowing and the raid on Londons gold supply which was pushed through the medium of American finance bills float ed in London The huge borrowings on the part of New York at that time was connected directly with the furious spec ulation going on In the New York stock market. That the present action of the Bank of England is directed in part against New York's speculative borrow CTS is affirmed in news advices from Lon don and it is indicated also by the heavy selling of American securities for Lon don account, which is forced by the meas ures of the English banks These were again in heavy volume today and were attributed to the closing out of loans in London in which these stocks figured as collateral.
 United States Steel was the most not ably affected by this cause, although none of the stocks which have figured recently in the active speculation were entirely exempt from this pressure. It is obvious, however, that besides the in- fluence of the London banking position, there are other forces at work toward depletion of their supplies. Although the English bank secured the new supplies of gold in London on Monday and had made it's rate effective lp the private discount rate. gold continues to go out to other points and apparently Berlin threatens further large withdrawals.
 Even today's rise in the bank rate was greeted by a sharp drop in Berlin exchange in London. although all other exchanges, including our own, moved

Hubbard Bros. 6. Co.'s Letter.

New York, October 21.-(Special.) .)-Eu- rope felt when advised that the National Ginners' report was 5,3S4,0O0 bales ginned to October IS that we had received the last bullsh advice for some time, and as the bank rate was also advanced to per cent that the advance was checked. It is to be expected that at some point Europe will attempt to stay the advance as It does not wish to buy at the top Therefore, Liverpool lost the opening advanceo and closed easy at decline of about points. Abroad the advance in the bank rate was looked upon as a danger signal, but un- der present conditions 1t may be due to a general revival in business which takes money from the bank and puts 1t into the pockets of the people who are all em- ployed. The local feeling continues bearz ish, based on foreign advices and the large movement to the ports, which in turn is expected In the afternoon the market advanced to last evenings prices on the localling of cotton by the American splnners. Liverpool should advance to points tomorrow.
