CHICAGO, Oct. 17.-Rains in Argentina and

With the exception of a brief period at the

There was a steady absorption of the offerings
all the way down. but the demand was in large
part to take profits on sales made higher up.
The big increase In the visible supply-3, 264 600
bushels-formed a sharp contrast with the de-
crease of 65S,000 bushels a week ago. Through
out the day there was little or no comfort to
promoters of higher prices. barring falling off
in worlds shipments. Last sales were at nearly
the lowest quotations Nevertheless. the final
tone was steady, December fluctuations
between $3.50 and 955sc, with the close is q
11ac down at 94c.
Corn closed at the lowest point in four years.
Fine weather made short sellers bold and dis

Oats went into the twenties" today-that is
sold at less than 30c a bushel, level which
has not been seen before in this market for many

NEW YORK. Oct. 17.-Last
weeks speculative advance in the
stock market was carried forward
in the new week today in a man
ner to impress sentiment with the
power and resources embarked in
the movement and the strength of
the convictions on which 1t was
based. Realizing scales were very
heavy.
The most important addition to
the general causes accountable for
the recovery in stocks was the
publication since Saturday of the
statistics of the country,s foreign
trade for September. The small
excess of import over export val
ues. which has resulted from the
varying operations of the first
; eight months of the calendar year:
is transformed by the results of
balance of s51.5S7,o79. The sig
nificance of the showing was
somewhat marred by the large
part played by the record exports
of cotton in making the result.
Assumption remained mistaken
that a foremost private New York
banking house was the principal
influence in furthering the rise in
prices This assumption includes
that of widespread market or
ganization and fostering and pro-
tecting measures for the money
. market. as well as the movement
of stock prices, especially United
States steel. That stock again abb
sorbed practically a quarter of the
total dealings, keeping up the
ratio covered by the whole of last
weeks transactions
Time money rates were frmer IN
New York and the private dis
count rate rose in London. The
call money market here was
easier, with the passing of Satur-
days dividend requirements.
Bonds We're irregular. Total
sales par value S3.4S6.0 900. United
States bonds were unchanged on
call.
F. F. Hutton & Co.'S wire says:
NEW YORK. Oct. 17.-There
was a general buying movement
in stocks again today, there being
no unfavorable news over the
weekend. Sentiment became de-
cidedly bullish in quarters where
bearishness prevailed heretofore.
hence the public buying for both
accounts became pronounced This
was a sufficient signal to go slow,
as the chances would favor a con-
siderable reaction through the list
of recent market leaders.
THE stock market has had a
continuous rise for 10 days and 1t
is quite logical that a few points
decline should occur with a dispo-
sition to rest in speculation"
