SLIGHT DECLINE
IN WHEAT MARKET
Forecast of Rain Offsets All the
FuIIish influences
RECEIPTS ARE VERY HEAVY
Anticipation of Bearish Showing in
Government Report on Corn Leads
to Lower Prices-Oats Close
Weak and Provisions Firm

Chicago, r-sF.-Increased receipts
in the southwest. coupled with an official
forecast of rain in portions of the winter
belt, offset a number of bullish influences
in the wheat market today, causing
heavy tone the greater part Of the session.
At the closes prices were 1sc to ssQ1sc
lower. Coarse grains also closed weak,
but provisions were firm.
Tendency of wheat prices during large
part Of the session was downward. al
though at times the market experienced
fair rallies on buying by an influential
commission house and by shorts.
The weather bureau predicted rains to-
night and tomorrow for Kansas and Ne
braska, where the seeding Of the winter
crop is nearly completed. Receipts today
at Kansas City and st. Louis were nearly
double those of the corresponding day
year ago, while the total primary move
ment was about % per cent in excess of
last year. Trading during the greater part
of the day was rather light and prices
held within about lie range, December sell
ing between 81 .011sa1 Ola and slo2ss.
Anticipation of bearish showing in the
government crop to be published tomor-
row prompted sales of corn today, and
resulted in a weak market throughout the
session. Selling was of an influential
character, and was directed chieny
against the May. Clear weather and
more liberal receipts than bad been ex-
nected brought out additional sales. The
market closed weak, with prices Aq12c
below the previous close.
Selling of December oats by longs was
feature in the oats market, and was re-
sponsible for considerable weakness. Part
of the selling was based on the expectation
that the government report would be bear
ish Slack shipping demand tended also
to weaken the market. At the close prices
were A6D1lc to 1zc lower than yesterday S
final figures.
Provisions at the start were weak be-
cause of a 10c decline in live hogs, but
the market quickly rallied and continued
firm the remainder of the day
Leading futures ranged as follows:

Foreign Discount Rates Make
Slight Advance.
WEAK HOLDERS WIPED OUI

New York, October THE stock mar
ket gave early evidence today that the
liquidation pressure on United States Steel
had subsidized and the tone of the whole
speculation was shaped accordingly.
United States Steel continued dispropor-
tionately prominent, but not as unduly so
as yesterday The $4,000 shares of United
States Steel dealt in yesterday out of an
aggregate of 100000 for all stocks do
not include the stopped stock which under
the rule of the stock exchange cannot
be printed on the tape.
Weaker accounts had been wiped out
and transferred to hands better able to
care for them. The money market
showed signs of having been eased also
by the substantial loan repayments which
must have accompanied the stock mar
ket liquidation of the past day or TWO,
Funds were reported in better supply
early today, although the loaning rate was
not materially affected. Bankers closely
associated with the United States steel
corporation offered large sums in the call
loan market 1t was the measures OF
these groups to replenish the supply that
were given responsibility of the weaken
ing of the foreign exchange market yes
terdav with talk of early gold imports
and a relief of the money market. The
Immediate effect of this development was
the advance in the official discount rate
of the Bank of England today from 2ls
to 3 per cent
The hardening of the private discount
rate in London and the steady inroads
made on the banks bullion holding re-
vealed by the weekly return published to-
day made 1t evident the advance In the
official rate was imminent anyhow With
n further demand on American account
threatened, the governments evidently felt
themselves restrained to the prompt step

lin also points to an early further rise OF
the discount rate of the Imperial Bank of
GERMANY The discount rate rose in Paris
TODAY and the Bank of France reported
sharp decline in bullion holdings. but with
a heavy contraction in outstanding note
issues and credits.
The foreign exchange market in New
York was greatly unsettled in it's efforts
at adjustment to these changes abroad,
which operated as obstacles to further ex-
tension of credits to American borrow
ors The supply of funds loanable on
call diminished as the day proceeded, and
another stiffenng in the rate served as
an admonition to the speculative borrow
ers and turned early buyers into sellers

GULF STORM IS EXPECTED

New York, October THE market open

er in response 10 rather better cables
than due from Liverpool, where prices
were up some to s points for futures
and points for spot. Boston sent re-
ports that leading mills were organized
for short time movement. and the local
bears again called attention to the heavy
receipts. Nevertheless, after the market
had sold of to points the whole
temper of things changed and on heavy
general buying. led by shorts yesterday,
quick rise of 20 points occurred.
There was no gainsaylng that the bears
were frightened by a report from Wash
ington that another tropical storm had
been discovered In the Caribbean sea.
Close upon the heels of this news came
predictions for less favorable weather con-
ditions in the cotton belt where the fields
were white and picking was proceeding
from dawn until dark. The advance in
contracts in the pit was stimulated by re-
ports that wide cotton goods had been
advanced Lice and that advances in the
other departments of the cotton goods
market were pending.
The wave of buying carried the whole
list up to the basis of 13 42c for May, at
which level heavy realizing set in for
the account OF those commission houses.
which were active buyers. The close was
firm, 13 to IS points higher.
Today's receipts were Co., bales,
against $500 bales last week and g. 500

York Central supplied the most substan-

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, October 7.-6Special.) To
days market shows a sharp reversal OF
action on the part of some who have been
looking for further decline on the heavy
receipts Apparently they reached the
conclusion that at the decline yesterday
the demand from the American spinners
indicated the appearance of a new buyer
in the field who would compete with the
European merchants and spinners for the
incoming crop
A steadier undertone was shown all the
morning but after midday the demaU
became urgent, taking all the offerings at
advancing prices with the close steady at
16 points advance.
Tonight it was felt that the market
might recede tomorrow from the high
point, as spnners would not be likely to
follow the advance. although they do not
like to see Europe take so much cotton
from the Atlantic states.
! OF course at this season of the year the
| planters can market their cotton so freely
as to hold the prices down unless a storm
or frost should appear.
