STOCK MARKET IS
 STILL VERY WEAK
Selling Pressure Is Heavy and
 Decline Follows
CLOSE IS AT THE LOWEST
Money Situation in England Has Effect in New York and Prices Are Gradually Depressed
 Until the Close.

New York, October 22.-The stock mar ket today repeated its action of several days preceding. Heavy selling pressure was inevitable while the foreign stock exchanges were in session. When closing time abroad had arrived, owing to the difference in time between these points under New York, this pressure subsided and made way for some recovery in places.
 The dominant influence on all finan- cial market continued to be the London money position as directed by the Bank of England action. The rise In pri- vate discount rates in London proved that the Bank of England found the power to make its highe rrate eeffctive and to maintain its control of the open money market. This gave added infiu- ence to the admonitory advices from London for the determination of the bank authorities to protect the banking re- sources at that center from further in- roads by foreign borrowers or seekers for gold reserves.
 It was urged. in fact, that the recuper- ation effected in the position of the English bank during the past week under the operation of the 4 per cent rate threw some mystery about the further advance to per cent, which was made yesterday. This view did not take account of the fact that there were heavy withdrawals of gold from the bank yesterday and apparently a prospect of more which would make additional pro- tective measures. There were heard in New York banking circles some whisper ings of the political motive lying back of the banks drastic action and based on knowledge of gov ernmental affairs not known to the public. This suggestion was, in some part a reply to the reported view of the London banking world of the responsibility of New York speculative operations in the stock market and the huge borrowings connected with them for the state of af- fairs developed in the London money market.
 The Bank of England's action proved its efficiency not only on the homo money market but on the foreign ex- changes, which moved in favor of Lon- don at all points. Money rates were .af- fected accordingly, giving point to the solicitude reported from Berlin of a pos sible demand on that center for gold which would force further advance In the official discount rate of the Imperial Bank of Germany.
 The rapid advance in foreign exchange in the New York market continued and engagements were announced of gold for shipment to South America on London account. NegQt1auonS were reported to be in progres3 looking for gold exports to Europe next. week. Foreign ex- changes reacted sharply at last.
 The money market here was not un- affected by these developments, especially the time loan department. The call loan branch remained tranquil, notwithstand. ing the action of the foreign exchange market Much of the selling of stocks here were directly for London account IT xvass renorted that very heavy shin ments of securities were in transit from

WHEAT RECOVERS
 PART OF LOSSES BuIIiSh Sentiment Prevails in
 In Days Trading CASH WHEAT AT PREMIUM M General Forecast for Rain in Corn Belt Aided By Higher Wheat
 Sends Corn Up-oats Steady
 and Provisions Quiet.
CASH WHEAT AT PREMIUM

Chicago, October 22.-Bullish sentiment controlled wheat today and there was a scurrylng of shorts to cover December closed Is cents higher and the other futures were $ cent above yesterday S final figures. Corn ranged higher, with oats tending in the same direction to a lesser degree. Provisions showed no spe- cial character and closed cents lower to 10 cents higher.
 December wheat was the focal point of the market here and in the northwest and it advanced appreciably over May In the southwest strong cash demand coincded with a similar condition in the northwest. The December shorts stam- peded as the market rose and some of the longs took profits on the bulges. Lo- cal strength was reinforced by higher foreign cables from practically all of the old world markets.
 Premiums of cash wheat which in tho northwest cleaned up at a quarter ad- vance boosted the market, and flour sales were correspondingly large The market closed strong.
 Generally unsettled weather forecasts throughout the corn belt together with private advices of heavy rains in par ticular sections contributed together with the jump in wheat to strengthen the corn market December closed & to 1a cent higher and the other months showed an advance of H cent.
 Oats followed the other grains, but sharp advances were checked by liberal sales on the swells. December closed un- changed with the other futures H cent higher than the final figures yesterday. Unloading by January longs kept down the higher range of the provisions mar ket which showed symptoms of advanc- ing in sympathy with the grains. Pork stood unchanged to 121a cents higher with lard and ribs in the main cents higher at the close.

London to New York. It is the custom of the stock market to borrow stocks for delivery which are sold on foreign ac- count pending the arrival of the certifi- cates of the stocks. Actual payment for such stocks. therefore. was delayed until their arrival from London.
 The weeks currency movement with the interior afforded some relief to sem timent over the money position. The weeks higher rates apparently had oper- ated to attract considerable amounts of bank cash for other points The sub treasury operations meantime have not been burdensome on the banks, having yielded a nominal sum to those institu- tions compared with withdrawals last week of over s5,O000o0. It is estimated that the banks have gained In the neighbor- hood of s3.000,000 in cash from various sources during the week.
 The market closed weak and at the lowest Total sales bonds, par value, s3,3 ,0o0.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.
