CHICAGO. Nov. 19.-small receipts and large
exports and higher Liverpool receipts have
held the bulls in command of wheat, the bliz-
zard over the spring wheat region held down
shipments to half of a year ago. and the week
closes with another reduction in visible that
will require some days of heavy receipts to
repenish. There is nothing in sight to change
the bull position, but rather TO strengthen 1t.
The Minneapolis mills are grinding 7OOWO
bushels a week more than last year, with
the sales of flour holding strong. The buyers
of December are the big holders of the cash
grain, and there is little outlook now for
Chicago to increase its supplies sufficiently
to break the bull crowd. Along with the ad-
vance Of the futures has been a correspond
ing advance in the cash, and with the month
close at hand it looks as II the &c diner
ence will be made up by advance of the op-
tion instead of decline in the cash. we are
still on a strong domestic wheat basis the
export of -four from the east and flour ana
grain from the Pacific is making good total
export movement Europe has held It's ad-
vance on expectation of decline in Russian
shipments and reduced supply by the time
Argentine wheat is available.
Corn outlook grows stronger as shipping
period has been reached with smaller guam
titles available than last year. The cold
weather has moderated and corn has not been
helped; instead there is universal COM
plaint in the big states of excessive moisture
producing mould anu rot. The corn arriving IS
less than local consumption demand at chi
cago At Kansas City and st. Louis the
exporters and southwest are competitors FOR
ali corn of shipping quality. and this condi-
tion will prevail for some weeks. Ihe snort
interest has remained stubborn and with thirty

STOCK MARKET
IS IRREGULAR
BANK STATEMENT TO BE
ISSUED CAUSES DOUBT
COPPER INTERESTS COMBINE
ADVANCES PRICES
United States Steel Securities Are
Steady All Day Under Pressure,
but Closed at Small Net
Decline
[By Associated Press.l

NEW YORK, Nov. 19-There were
conflicting influences at work in the
stock market today, which gave 1t an
appearance of irregularity. The un-
favorable influence was doubt about
the character of tomorrows bank
statement.
In favor of higher prices was the re-
newal of rumors of the progress of the
plan for consolidation of the copper
producing corporations and assump-
tions growing out of the Wells-Fargo
'melon cutting" on other bonuses. The
latter influence was perceptible in the
wide advances of light dealings OF d
number of high-priced investment
stocks known to have large surplus
holdings in their treasures, as well as
others credited with concealed assets"
which do not figure in balance sheets.
In the case of the copper stocks, the
advance with which they started
brought in some realizing sales that
turned the prices downward again and
resulted in considerable unsettling Of
the general market. The same was
true of Union Pacific, which got an
early benefit from the renewal of talk
of segregation of assets on its own ac-
count and from estimates of the value
of investment holdings by southern
Pacific and WellsFargo.
bank statement was due to the uncer-
tainty over the after-effect of last
weeks unexplained loan contraction, as
much as to the actual cash loss indi-
Gated by the preliminary estimates OF
the currency movement. In these the
total of gold for export for the week
ran up to $5,4000 900.
The express movement with the in
terror, however yielded a considerable
balance in favor of New York and the
sub-treasury operations nearly half
a million more. so that the loss by gold
exports seems to have been reduced to
under $2000.O00.
United States Steel was quite steady
under pressure throughout the day, and
closed at a small net decline in spite
of the buoyant rise at other points.
The price movement became feverlsh
and excited late in the day, but did
not lose it's irregularity altogether and
closed unsettled
Bonds were firm. Total sales, par
value, s4,252,O00. United States bonds
were unchanged on call.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-After opening 10
points lower on adverse Liverpool cables
American markets hardened good buying
by the bull leaders, and prices gradually
worked higher with the undertone decidedly
firmer than for some days past. The into
sight movement for the week of only 4S6. 4Sl
bales against 6O9 100 last year, and 45O,Sl6
bales in 1907. are the most bullish in COM
parison ever known at this time of year. and
proves beyond question the smallness of this
years crop and the contention of the bulls
that the south has less cotton to market the
remainder of this season than last season by
about 2,9OO 900 bales and less than the bal
ance OF the season before last by about l,9OO,-
900 bales Under the circumstances there is
a glaring deficit of about $500 600 bales in the
available supply of American cotton in the
seasons requirements, compared with last
years visible and American crop and deficit
Of about l. 1900 900 bales when compared with
the visible and American crop of year before
last which developments in the way Of smaller
receipts in the future and more bullish GIN
ners' reports will gradually bring to the sur
face and assert their influence upon values in
"a forcible a manner during the remainder OF
this season as did the unfavorable weather
and small crop estimates in early part OF the
season. when the movement to market was
about the heaviest on record for this period
Of the year.
