WHEAT HIGHER ON
ACTIVE DEMAND.
Prices Make Material Gains In
An Active Market
RECEIPTS ARE SMALLER
Wet Weather in the Corn Belt Gives
Strength to Prices, But Trade Is
Light-Oats and Provisions
Also Close Higher.

Chicago, November 12.-Lively demand
for cash wheat in the northwest and
southwest prompted urgent covering by
shorts in the wheat market here today
resulting In material gains. At the close
prices were up from 3sc to 11Rd1ssc COM
pared with the final figures of the pre-
vious session. Corn, oats and provis-
ions were also firm and closed at mod
crate advances.
The wheat market was strong all day
and prices moved over wide range. In
creased congestion in the December de-
livery was the feature of trading and
was the occasion for 2-cent advance
in the price of that option.
Reports from Duluth indicated that
wheat was being rushed eastward in
large quantities and 1t was predicted
that stocks there would decrease nearly
!, 100000 bushels during the week. In the
southwest the cash markets felt the ef-
fects Of diminishing receipts.
The range on the December delivery
during the day was between s1.o6 and
a.O7 The market closed active and
strong with prices only NC from the top,
final quotations on December being at
81. 06%
Wet weather extending over the great
er part of the corn belt was the prin-
cipal reason for moderate strength dis
played by the corn market. Trading was
rather light and confined on the buying
side to covering by shorts. The close
was firm with prices UP 1s@a4c to A@4sc.
Oats were firm but the volume of trad
ing was small. The strength on wheat
and corn was the main factor The mar
ket closed firm at net gains of a shade
to Nc
Fresh advances were made In provis-
ions as a result of renewed buying by
shorts based on a continuation OF hght
receipts of live hogs throughout the
west.
Pork was especially strong, the Janu-
airy delivery advancing 371ac above the
previous close. The market closed strong
with prices up ego to S5c.
Loading f1t1rea ranged as follows.

STOCK MARKET IS
\ STILL SLUGGISH
Call Money Rate Goes Higher
on Reports from Banks
RESERVES ARE NOT HIGH
Movement of Prices in Stocks Is Very
Slow During the Day and Drops
to Lowest When Call Money
Reaches Per Cent.
RESERVES ARE NOT HIGH

New York. November 12.-The sluggish
current of the price movement In the
stock market today shifted in consonance
with the varying view of the money stu
alton. Supplies of money on call at 5
per cent and below during the earlier part
OF the day gave confidence that the banks
were within their reserve limit; so that
call money borrowers would not be pushed
for payment. Later the appearance of
preliminary estimates of the weeks cur
rency movement and announcement of
further engagements of gold for export
renewed anxiety and the call money rate
again stiffened. The outgo of cash during
the week has been much larger than was
supposed, the balance against New York
on the export movement running appar-
s emily to nearly s4,5OO,0O0 up to Thursday
night.
There were additional large shipments
to Chicago today which will figure in the
actual figures of the bank statement to-
morrow. Sub-treasury operations and gold
shipments to Brazil together have taken
S4,S54,000, thus running the cash loss on
the known movements of money up to
near $10.0o0,000, one of the largest cash
losses for any one week in the present
year. The date of shipment of the ST.
500, 600 gold engagement for South Amer
lea on London order is not known yet.
The bank which made the largest engage
ment called loans today to the extent of
many million dollars.
= There was some fresh supply from other
sources. including, 1t was said, the dry
goods banks of this city, owing to lull
in trade requirements. Authorities diff
fered as to offerings of money from for
eipn sources. There is significance, per-
maps, in the fact that London financial
= authorities are complaining that the joint
+ Dck banks there are not holding up the
;lnds of the Bank of England in its eff
Forts to attract gold from outside mar
els. The special demand for cash from
'hicago is said to be urgent, and is con-
acted with the expectation of an early
ling from the comptroller of the cur
ICY for a statement of the condition of
banks.
ne imminence of this call, it is report
found some Chicago banks below the
Ma I'VE limit. A good proportion of the
in, York clearing house banks were
TO be below the 25 per cent reserve
1ess the detail bank statement of last
and . ay, and their necessity for recuper-
who. is a factor in the money market
sur on The rise in money rates applied
IN -Ynly to call loans but to time loans
1fke hardening tendency extended
sssNnF the shorter to some of the longer
pefiods Asking rates for 80 days were
advanced a fraction during the day.
A feature of the narrow speculation was
its- diversion te-Iow-pFseed stoclxsi in both
industrials and railroads.

issues more feasible, owing to the smaller
sums required by commission houses for
holding them for customers. This consul
tuted the only reason for the movement
in most of these. The sharp falling off
in the weeks exports of copper COM
pared with several weeks past gave an i'm
preston of waning of the reported de-
mand for that metal. although the price
was advanced again in London today The
force of the demand for iron was reported
to have spread to the foreign market,
leading to purchases for import. Stocks
fell to the lowest of the day when call
loans rose to per cent and then hardened
when the rate eased off.
Bonds were steady Total sales, par
value, SO, $4,000.
United states bonds were unchanged on
