the end Of the racing season occurs
The daring pilot so selected by this

uted as follows: To the driver awarded

THE MARKETS
ASSOCIATED PRESS
MARKET REVIEW

Chicago, Oct. 17.-Bullish foreign
conditions, including a decided falling
off in worlds shipments, made wheat
prices range higher Monday, although
a liberal increase of the United States
visible supply total brought about
something Of reaction late in the day.
The close was unsettled at Is cent to
5-S cent net advance, with December
ed 1-4Q3-8 cent down, and oats off 3-8
cent to 5-S cent. Provisions scored
gains Of cents to S5 cents
World shipments Of wheat showed
decrease of 1000 900 bushels as COM
pared with last week, and Of 100000
bushels at the corresponding time Of
1916. The significance OF these figures
as viewed by the bulls was much aCcen-
tuated owing to the fact that supplies
on ocean passage had been lessened
4,340,O00 bushels in the last week as
against an increase of 6,5040 900 bushels
last year, Besides, reports from Argen-
tina told Of continuance of the
drought and referred to uninterrupted
enlargement of crop damage there.
Smalness of spring wheat receipts at
Minneapolis, Duluth and Winnipeg
counted further against the bears and
SO too did export sales estimated at
100000 bushels, said 10 be chiefly for
the British and Dutch governments.
Notwithstanding that the announce
ment of the United States visible sup
ply total was followed by the chief de-
cline of the day in the wheat market,
the setback did not overcome all Of the
previous gains and there was rally in
progress when the final gong brought
trading to a halt 1t was noticed that
on the, breaks some of the buying of
future deliveries appeared to be for
European account.
Corn was depressed by selling from
spectators who at the same time were
buying oats and who contended that
despite big stocks. oats were at too
heavy a discount under other grain.
The visible supply figures seemed in
the end more than the oats market
could stand.
with abundant foreign business in
sight, the provision trade ignored low
er quotations on hogs. offerings of
lard were notably scarce.

Six Allied Crafts
Make New Demand
on u. s. Railroads

Kansas City, Oct. 17:-A wage in
crease of 3 cents an hour and a demand
for the eight-hour day throughout the
six allied crafts of railroad shopmen of
seventeen western railroads was
asreed upon at conference of the
shopmen here yesterday. The crafts
prepared an ultimatum outlining their
demands which will be presented i'm
mediately to. the railroads employing
the craftsmen.
The findings of yesterdays confer
ence were the result of a recent con-
ference here when the demands of the
craftsmen were refused by the rail-
roads. At that time a demand for a
5-cent-an-hour increase was presented
by the shopmen. The railroads also
declared their willingness at that time
to allow the eight-hour day for all sta
tionary work, but declared nine-hour
schedule was necessary for repair on
rolling stock which would take the men
out on the line.
Officials of the shopmen declared the
ultimatum would be delivered immedi-
ately to the railroads involved.

Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago, oct. II.-Wheat: In OUT
opinion wheat is shaping for an upturn.
Longs have liqudated freely and a
short interest created while export in
terests are big buyers whenever the
market affords. No change in foreign
news while Argentine has received no
rains.
Corn: Cash markets continue strong
and offerings are eagerly snapped up.
The situation, in our opinion, warrants
higher prices.
Oats: Liberal receipts are having a
temporary depressing effect on values.
Prices are comparatively low and pur-
chases at current levels should prove
profitable.
Provisions: We look for good realiz-
ing sales in products from here up.
