CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.

Chicago. Oct. la-The relative strength in the
December wheat futures at Chicago at least
a partial reflection Of the inadequate supplies Of
that grain now at hand The December closed al
a premium over the May today, coanpared with q
discount Tuesday last. The fact that the supply
Of wheat is large has failed to act as a stumbling
block to those In quest Of wheat as It In well
not in the best condition. The export taking,
today were 10000 bushels wheat Of which 500 oOU
bushels stated for shipment abroad via RlH
ports. The business In choice wheat in other posi-
tionS was 10000 bushels at Omaha for export
and 10000 bushels-latter old and which was sold
By Chgaco commission house out Of store at
Kansas City. The cash trade at Chicaen ySs
small with 5000 bushels bought by rnillers
New high prices were made for wheat again TO-
day. but as this Is occurring daily. it Is attracting
no great amount Of comment The Decernhsr ftl-
ture closed irregular and unsettled but it showed
gains Of Esa3 cents The May up ~ cents
while the July was unchanged to \ cents lower
The Liverpool wheat market was hasd lower to-
day. This decline in the big English market, with
the British commission buying every pound Of
wheat available, shows the worthless Quotations

Corn advanced cents today and this gain yns
considered sensational following the uptun of
Wednesday. Shorts covered freely Supplies OF
old corn are small everywhere and the cash Ar
tice is selling at 6 cents in Chicago which leaTeS

rather slippery foundation.

In the World of Finance and Trade
MARKET REACTS AFTER
SINKING OF CUNARDER
Scton Labeled as Purely Technical
Move, However.
CBy the International News service.)

(By the International News Service.)
New York, Oct. 19.-Stocks selling at a
small number Of dollars per share were
lmade active in Wall Street today, some
going to high record prices. Then the
standard stocks, under leadership of steel,
were moved up and the others sold. In
tho afternoon the sinking of the Cunarder
Alaunia gave excuse for a general re-
action. Sinking Of the ship had moth
ing to do with the reaction in fact, for
II was purely technical and should have
come earlier in the week. The market
Is acting strictly according to form
again, and the party Of optimism is grow
ing.
4 Political considerations are not having
10 much weight Daniel Willard, presl-
dent Of the Baltimore and Ohio, who
according to Wall Street report, was
to come out in favor Of Wilson, surprised
the street by making a square announce
ment Of his intention to stand by Mr..
Hughes
Advance OF Chesapeak and Ohio to the
new high record price Of Il made Wall
street remember that the company has
s4o,oO0,o0O OF bonds outstanding that can
be converted into the stock at IS. The
advance Of these bonds kept pace with
the stock and It looks like clear sailing
up to about 70. 1t is evident that the
directors intend to pay dividend on
rec stock to incite conversion.
Industrial Alcohol reacted moderately
as the result Of its wild advance yester-
day. Marine also showed a reactionary
tone. Marine directors did nothing in
regard to dividends, which was exactly
as expected. Sinking Of the Cunard liner
makes Marine that much stronger
Westinghouse and General Electric were
about the best purchased stock in the
afternoon.
Union Pacific and Steel are the best
bought stocks in Wall Street Just now
The former is being taken on the theory
that a special distribution will come in
November.
4. Steel Is being bought on belief that the
var will last several years and that the
steel corporation is its chief beneficiary.
Furthermore, professionals know very
well that there can be no movement OF
Importance in Wall Street without steel
being in the leadership.

Steel Earning. to BE Large.

Well informed steel men are predicting
that the earnings of the United States
Steel Corporation for the past quarter
will be nearer 1oo,0Oo, 0oo than 800, 900, 900.
Up to the present time the general opin-
ion has been that they would be less
than SooOoooo, owing to reduction of
output during the hot weather. Should
the above prediction prove to be correct,
it would no doubt have a decidedly bull
ish effect on the stock.
