MATERIAL ADVANCE
IN WHEAT MARKET
Nervousness Over Crop Out
look for India and Argen-
tina Responsible

Chicago, October 29.-Nervousness over
the crop outlook for India and Argentina
made the wheat market today show ma
terial advance. The windup, however.
was weak at a rise of s4@7sc net, Corn
night, oats varying FROM shade off to
an equal gain and provisions down 213Q
25c.
First strength In wheat came from an
unexpected bulge at Liverpool, which was
explained by statements that that distress
due to the food failure in the United
Provinces of India had become so acute
the British government was contributing
financial relief. Argentine dispatches fol-
lowed, telling of new danger to the
crop, heads driving up without filling In
jury was also reported from Argentina as
a result of both frost and excessive heavy
rains. though in different parts of the
country.
Bullish sentiment received fresh impetus
when the days primary receipts were an
nounced as amounting only to third of
the total year ago Buying or Canadian
wheat for Buffalo millers who are in the
export flour trade exercised a slight re-
straining influence but later was more
than offset by strength at Winnipeg, al
legged to be the result of purchasing orders
from Baenos Ayres. Profit taking, how
ever, on a large scale gave the market a
weak tone at the last.
Rough weather that implied early win
ter feeding put firmness into the corn
market. On the other hand, rumors were
current that a big long line of corn was
held here for Charles G. Gates Despite
denial of the truth of the reports, the
effect on the market was quite noticeable
as tending to prevent a more decided ad-
vance.
Realizing by speculative longs held oats
down Elevator concerns led the buying.
Holders of provisions unloaded to such
an extent that the market became semi
demoralized near the close The furry
was attributed to radically bearish views
expressed in print by a western packer.

net loss of to 10 points Reports that
interior spot markets were not following

WHOLESALE TRADE
CONTINUES BRISK
Shortage in Fish Supplies
With Little Prospect of
Shipments

The excellent demand that began on
Monday of this week on Morris avenue
continues unabated. The supplies in all
lines. fish excepted. are adequate, and
prices are in the main normal.
The fish market is reported almost bare
of snapper, an expected shipment from
Mobile failing to arrive. The price of
snapper was changed to read lie per
pound, and 1t is believed that the prices
on other fish will experience slight ad-
vances soon unless the stringency is re-
lieved. The prospects for getting ship
ments this week seem poor, it is said, and
by Saturday the prices should be de-
cidedly ON the up grade.
No changes were registered in the poul-
try and egg division of the local market
The merchants are optimistic and report a
very good demand with supply in keep

brought prices under yesterdays close.
Conditions in the money markets here

London private discounts were higher

Sagements of gold We're expected at this

International bankers that the Bank of

sary to increase the rate, at least in the
present week.
In the home market call loans We're re-
newed at per cent, an increase of u
per cent. The rate rose later to 5A per
cent. Preparations for November divi-
dend and interest payments and the con-
tinued flow of currency to the interior
influenced the trend of the money mar
ket.
In London American stocks were de-
pressed. There was some selling here
for foreign account. Restriction of funds
in this market for speculative purposes
also exerted an unfavorable influence.
Reports that the Mexican situation was
entering upon a more serious phase and
further depressing news from the steel
trade helped to turn the market down
ward. The weekly review of the Iron

frankly pessmistic, speaking of further

New Orleans, October 29.-Bearish pres

day and prices fell off under 1t over a
dollar a bale, although the decline was
not any too well maintained and quick
ly responded to the buying when sellers
of the morning tried to take profits in
the afternoon. Weather influences did
not have their usual effect Little at
tention was paid to the cold and wet
conditions in the cotton belt.
The bears made much use of a crop
estimate of 100000 bales and the heav-
lest selling of the season followed the
out numerous telegrams stating that the
estimate was not being seriously con-
sidered but this did not stop the short
selling, from the bear side. which APP
peared to be well organized.
The market opened steady at decline
of II to Is points. This decline was in
response to lower prices In other mar
kets. Selling increased and around the
middle of the day the trading months
went 2 to 25 points under Mondays final
quotations. In the early afternoon there
was a recovery of 10 to u points, but
the market sagged again later, closing
steady at a net loss for the day of 16

Crop reports from nearly all sections
of the belt were upfavorable, complain
ing of the damage done by low temper
