WHEAT MARKET
 APPEARS BULL|SH
Black Sea Shipments and Frost Reports Have
 Their Effect

Chicago, October 10.-Fear that Black sea shipments would be hampered by the Turks had a bullish effect today on wheat So did frost reports from the Argentine. In consequence the close was Be to h@5sc higher than last night. Corn finished at 9s &c ne. advance; oats unchanged. to Ac up' but hog products were 1215 @151 1ac to 271ac down.
 More apprehension regarding war en- tanglements developed than previously, owing to the fact that Liverpool scored a sharp gain. In this connection wheat traders here took account of the worlds available supply being now 17,O0o,Ooo bushels less than a year ago. News or heavy frost in Argentine seemed to be judged by many dealers to take equal rank as a factor on the buying side, all though there was denials that the crop of the country was in a position 10 be damaged by such cause. The United States government report show ing further losses In quantity of spring wheat with the quality low, had consid- erable influence on mills and cash handlers, bringing about decided in crease of. the spot demand.
 Almost the only offset for the bears was the better weather and large re- ceipts northwest. Taken as whole the market displayed unmistakabie strength notwithstanding an easy tone at the close. December varied from 9se to 9s1bc, and wound up F c ssc net higher at 9SEc@9Sssc.
 Corn was lifted by means of foreign orders to purchase futures. The incen- tive came from the government report exhibiting big shortage In states or largest production. December ranged from 64M@64Ac to 64%c, closing steady, I@%c up at 64% @64&c Casn grades were in active request. NO. < yellow finished at 71ls 72c.
 Although slow most of the time; oats gradually hardened late in the day with other grain. The east continued to take cash offerings rather freely. High and low points touched by December were 479sU47s4 Q47Ac, with the close A. 9s C.
 On account of the big run of hogs provisions closed weak. The outcome was a decline of 25@271ac; lard, l21a @15c, and ribs, s15@171sc to 200.

leaders, were incorrigible. They were
 openly making threates, and also assist
 ing men to desert. No one dared to touch them.
 e Cheron did what no one believed he spite of their furious threates, had them imprisoned. The strike was soon at an end.
 There was the threat of a tremendous strike in Spain just a year ago. It was the result of the new anti-clerical legisla- l tion, and the clericalists arranged large demonstration at San Sebastion.
 Eighty thousand men were to come and
 things looked ugly
 At the last minute Senor Canalejas, the
 premier. issued orders that all the trains and steamers which were to bring the strikers to the rendezvous should be seized. At the same time he filled San Se-
 bastian with soldiers. The strike was
 strangled before 1t had found it's legs. The Spanish prime minister's action brings to mind the day in which the French cabinet quelled the great and dangerous railway strike which paralyzed France in October last.
 Nearly all the employees of the French | railways belong to the reserve. Mons. Briand issued orders mobolizing the whole Reserve The strikers had either to obey
 or be arrested as deserters This clever move very soon put an end to the strike. The great strike breaker of the United States is James Farley. Strike breaking is his profession. He boasts that he has
 never lost one out of more than 20 strikes which he has tackled.
 A man of iron nerve, he has at his back
 a band of S5 well paid and trusted de- tectives, so that when trouble is brewing he is the first to scent 1t. Besides these he has about 700 good me- chanics on his pay rolL and another 90, 600. | most of them ex-uinon men, whose names and addresses are always filed. and whom he can rely on the rush into the place of strikers in any part of the country. During the San Francisco strike Farley made $6O00 a month, and he got a fee of f2000 for going to Toronto to uuel a strike | there The union men are so afraid of | him that his mere appearance on the scene is usually enough to break any l strike.
 l The most startling method on record of | stopping a strike stands to the credit of MT. Moss Graham, a rich lumberman. He | had huge mills at Meridian, Miss, where. | owing to no fault of his, all his men went
 out on strike.
 | He gave into their requests but within | month they were out again. Once more
 he yielded, but six weeks later th<v hung
 him up in the middle of an important con
 tract by third strike
 | I'm tired of this.' said MT. Graham, | Late that night there was the roar of
 an explosion from the mills and a burst
 of flame. Their owner had blown them
 up and set fire to them. | The strikers starved, and the town was
 ruined. but Mir Graham had enough left
 to retire on.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'S Letter

New York. October 1o.-(SpeciaD.-In response to the decline of 10 points in Liverpool, this market opened to 6 points lower, but from that time it show ed disposition to react from the pres sure of the past week, and finally after several periods of weakness, closes more than steady at points higher than yes terday. A little rainy weather in Ala bama and the Atlantics brought many buying orders from that section, but as this will be followed by warmer, clear weather from the west it Is not likely to be serious. As we approach tho frost period the tendency will be to be with- out any large interest after so long and continuous decline. We also expect that spinners will become free buyers, which might probably give us steadier markets during the frost period.
 Liverpool should advance from to T points tomorrow.

TONE IN
 COTTON MARKET
Moderate Trade Buying and the Operations Show
 Reaction

New York, October 10.-After making new records during the early trading the cotton market developed better tone to- day and closed steady at net advance of to 8 points on covering, moderate trade buying and operations for a reae- ton following the recent decline.
 The opening was steady at a decline of to points in response to disappointing cables and selling orders from the south. There was good deal of covering at the start and there was rally of or points on active months right after the call but buyers got their cotton so easily and there were so many reports coming in of easier interior markets that many of those who had shown a disposition to cover at the initial figures turned again to the selling side and during the middle of the morning prices sold off to net loss of to 10 points. There was a good demand at the low point and the market later in the day showed increasing firm ness with the active months selling up about 16 or 19 points from the lowest and showing a net gain of from to points just before the close. Final prices were within point or two or the pest. Weather advices indicated higher temper atures in the western belt, so that there was no apprehension of frosts, but rains were reported in the eastern belt, which may have caused some uneasiness and promoted part of the covering, although the general opinion expressed around the ring was that the wet weather on open cotton would be more likely to lower the trade than to actually curtail the yield. Private spot advices later in the day were somewhat conflicting. Receipts. 105,617 bales. against S7673 last week and 42,675 last year. Todays receipts at New Or leans. 6263, against 5SS9 last year, and at Houston 36,6O9. against 2S.07s last year.

QUOTATIONS STEADY
 IN STOCK MARKET.
Transactions Excite Little Interests on the New
 York Exchange

New York, October 10.-Quotations held steady today through an unusually prosaic session of the stock market. Changes affecting values remained un- changed. The standard stocks barely moved and changes of any size were restricted for the most part to less ac- tive issues. The only appearance oi activity was in the first hour when prices rose generally. The rise was only fractional in the active shares' except in the cases of Union Paclhc ana I.ehigh Valley, each of which gaihed a point
 Among the less active issues Norfolk and Western was conspicuously strong with a 3 point gain. Several Of the southern railways continued yesterday upward movement, but Atlantic Coast Line and Louisville and Nashville, which led in the advance, fell back sharply.
 Prospects for record cotton yield on which buying of the shares of south ern roads has been based were ef- fective in advancing American cotton oil.
 Allis- Chalmers preferred after its re- cent heavy break moved upward slowly, but the bonds showed further heavi- ness.
 The decrease of S4,000 tons in the amount of unified orders on the books of the United States Steel corpora tion September 30 as reported was in a negative sense unexpectedly favorable.
 Small gains were reported in the vol ume of new orders for steel products. but the increases are small In view of the low prices now prevailing and earnings for the current quarter Of some of the steel companies are ex- pected to show large falling off.
 The copper market was heavy in sympathy with the lower quotations abroad.
 In view of yesterdays report of the producers disclosing a large increase in stocks of metal, lower prices are looked for by some consumers, although sellers made no material concessions. Exports thus far this month have been light
 Demand sterling again advanced. The possibility of further gold export ex- cites no, apprehension since the New York money market is still over SUD- piled.
 The bond market was firm. Several of the southern and southwestern bonds were especially strong.
 The American Tobacco isues were heavy at the outset, but rallied later Total sales, par value, S2,254,00.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.
