The mayor is not inclined to favor
fixing a location for the fountain or
Belle Isle until it has been decided
whether the project Of filling in the
middle ground below the island and
extending Belle Isle down stream has
been definitely decided. AS a first
thought, the mayor expressed a pre-
ference for marble fountain with a

monument itself This should be

WHEAT TUMDLES IN
 VERY WEAK MARKET Lowest Prices Since Harvest

MARKET OPENS WEAK
Flank Movement Is Executed in Corn By Country Dealers and Prices Gain-Oats Close Higher and
 Provisions Irregular

Chicago, October 31.-An unexpectedly large increase of the visible supply of wheat discouraged owners today and resulted in the lowest prices since har- vest There was rally, however, owing to the strength of corn, and the close was comparatively firm at net loss of Aqssc An advance of 5sc to ssQ%c was shown at the wind-up in corn, compared with the last sales on Saturday. Oats scored a gain of 3sq1ac. In provisions the close varied from 421ac rise to 25c decline.
 There was much miscellaneous selling disappointed at the figure for the De- cember option. Interest is gradually get ting more into the May delivery The market started weak in view of the somewhat demoralized tone of European advices due to large world shipments and to heavy offerings from Argentina and the Black Sea. Buenos Ayres dis patches telling of general beneficial rain had much bearish effect. It was not until the announcement of the visible supply total, though, that the bottom seemed to fall out of quotations The in- crease shown, 2,142, 900 bushels, was a de- cided surprise, and looked ominous, as only 1,315,000 a year ago. At this june ture Minneapolis reported the edge off the cash demand and that the flour trade was slow It Is hard to say where the decline would have stopped except for the fact that coarse grains not only did not sympathize, but actually climbed higher. December fluctuated during the day between S95sc and s01sGso9sc, closing A@3sc net lower at 901Ac.
 The country executed a flank move ment in the corn pit by holding back supplies and at the same time sending buying orders for futures. Some of the local shippers were short and were bld- ding for cash corn. December sold be- tween 45a4c and 71Sc. with the close at 465sQ46s4c, d net advance of ssc to ssq%c. The cash market was firm. No. 2 yell low finished at 49AQ49%c.
 Covering by some of the largest shorts forced up the price of oats. The visible supply increase was only 33,000 bushels, against 517,000 bushels last year. Decem- Der ranged from 3O24c to 31k@315sc and closed as@12c up at 31as@3112c.
 Shorts in lard were able to satisfy their needs without paying Saturdays figures. People who had to purchase October ribs, however. settled at a stiff advance Last sales showed pork 25c off to 21Rc up lard, 15c down to 71sc up, and ribs unchanged to 421ac increase in cost

New York, October 31.-The cotton mar ket recovered practically all of Satur- days loss during the days trading on reports that crop damage based on the cold weather In the south had stimu- lated a~smore active demand from spin ners. The close was very steady at a net gain of 20 to 26 points for the day.
 The market started steady at an ad- vance of 36 points on October. which was influenced by the covering of a few belated shorts, and later sold at a net tions opened points lower to points higher. There seemed to be a large number of over Sunday selling orders around the ring attracted by Saturday, s sharp break and increased estimates of the crops, which prevented a better re- sponse to the relatively firm Liverpool cables the more active positions. These offerings were gradually absorbed by bull support on covering, however, and while showing considerable nervous ness the general tendency of prices was up until they reached net gain of about 13414 points. Around this level renewed liquidation caused reaction of 6Q7 points from the best, but the market firmed up again on buying by spot houses and rumors that spinners were buying contracts. Last prices were with in point or two of the top.
 Numerous private reports were re- ceived from the south during the day claiming that killing temperature had been practically general over Sunday, putting an end to any further develop ment of the plant. Many local opera tors appeared to take the view that a sufficient yield had been assured before the development of the cold wave, and this probably accounts for much of the selling on advances, but Liverpool attrib- uted the relatively firm showing of the cables to the frost accounts and a feel ing that a crop of even 12,500,00O bales might not prove a bearish factor in view of the big business booked by Manehes- ter

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. October 31.-(Special. )-Liv- erpool did not respond to our decline of Saturday, so our market opened irregu- lar with October higher, January lower and March higher. Prices steadied dur ing the day, closing some A points high CT on reports that bullish crop esti- mate would be issued to offset Mir. Cor dells estimate of Saturday. After the close the market was a shade lower.
 Mr. Cordel says regarding the frost: q think that we have 12,6O0,000 bales made. A later frost date would have added more."
 These sharp fluctuations simply show the sharp difference in crop ideas. First one and then the other prevails, causing quick fluctuations. Among those return ing from the south the tendency Is to look for a crop well above 100000 bales.
 Meanwhile the western and northern houses are long, looking for higher prices on smaller crop ideas. and the local traders expect that they will be able to maintain prices.
