The ~* flrat thing shown was a run of 1,178 ca r3 in the three principal markets against -L 1,718 yast year, which was enough to cause f* opening firmness. Later this gave way to | selling and moderate decline, but Just i * when a break seemed^ impending the mar- '* ket turned up again. Foreign markets were easy. Liverpool, THE FLOUR MARKET GOOD BUSINESS AT FIRM PRICESSHIP- MENTS HOLD UP . The little flimness in wheat brought in a few orders from local and near-by trade and to noon business was reported somewhat heavier in volume than yesterday. Fair general demand Is the rule and foreign lnquiiy Is also holding up. Prices are flira, and while unchanged in quo tations, are held at the full figures, and while slight concessions were reported earlier in the week, it would probably be more difficult to obtain them now.

Chicago, Nov. 5.Heavy selling of December wheat by St . Louis houses causea a further de cline in the price of that commodity to-day. and the premium over May was all lost, both Decem ber and May selling at the same price during the opening hour Local longs were afraid of the situation at St. Louis, and, fearing a severe break there, were easily induced to part with their holdings. December opened unchanged to %c lower, at 78%@78%c. but with no supporting features the price soon dropped to 78c. Min neapolis and Duluth reported receipts of 1,067 cars, which, with 111 cars, one contract, made total receipts for the three points of 1,178 cars, against 912 cars last week and 963 a year ago. General selling of December carried the price of tla month down to 77 %c. while May held relatively firm. Later in the day the noon shoe ing of the Ohio state report caused a good de mand for May and prices advanced and strength in the distant delivery helped the De cember option, the close on that being %3l lower at 78%@7S%c. * Close- WheatDecember, 78%@78%c May, 78%c: July, 74%@74%c.

Prices were forced up at a record rate' and trading continued active at the advance. De cember, which had sold at 10.25c last Mondav. and had opened at 10.60c. was soon forced up to 10.92c. January had advanced to 10.82c. March to 10.90c and May to 10.91c. This represented gains since the clOBe of last night of 25 to 30 points. The gains were largely due to a very bullish crop estimate issued by a conserva tion local house placing the production at 10,- 375,000 bales In connection with further aggres sive bull surport. another favorable turn in the weather and the reported heavy buying by spinners. At noon tbe market was steady tho well down from top under heavy realizing. Prices were net 14 to 18 points higher. Spot cotton firmer mid dling upland, 10.90c middling gulf, 11.15c.

THE IRON TRADE REVIEW. Cleveland, Ohio, Nor. 5.The Iron Trade He view &ays: The news of the week gives plenty of indications of the process of readjusting val ues which is in progress thruout the Iron trade. Many blast furnaces and steel works have beeu put on the idle list. More furnaces will go out when raw materials on hand have been worked up. Pig iron has declined further In the week coke is lower the pool price on steel billets has been cut and in connection with some forms of finished material on which agreements have exist ed the only open question is as to the date of an nouncements of new prices. Foreign business leads in Interest. Some good export sales of plates and steel bars have been made, but no au thentic statement of tonnage Is given out. The material goes largely to Great Britain. Sheet bar business is understood to be under negotia tion. - In the east concessions on structural material are regarded as possible. Much depends on the billet meeting in New York to-day. Independent interests have sold steel at $2 a ton below the pool price and the amount of steel marketed at cut prices has given rise to reports of con cessions by concerns parties to the agreement. Fully 50,000 tons ot Alabama pig iron have been sold or are now being figured on for ship ment to British ports. One 15,000-ton sale of gray forge was made at $8.50 at furnace for ex port, a rate of $2 a ton from Birmingham to British ports having been secured. Another sale was o l 10,000 tons on No. 3 foundry. The lifting f accumulated stocks off the domestic market Is expected to strengthen the southern situation and has already done so to the extent that leading interests are not willing to sell for delivery into next year at pi ices recently named on prompt business. In the past week No. 2 foun dry Iron has sold at $*).50 Birmingham. Thirty ono furnaces In Ohio and wfstern Pennsylvania are now idle. A s yet northern foundry furnaces have not met the low prices of southern produc ers and are therefore booking little business. A significant development is the coming of the Frick Coke company into the market again for the sale of Its foundry coke. STOCK MARKET GOSSIP Steel Remains the Great Demoralizing Factor In Stocks. Many traders look for continued selling of the steel stocks and lower prices for the general market as a result of the unfavor able developments High- est.
