20 I 1 1', Light Receipts and Export Sales m\: *-Send It Up a Little to f. Start. Lack of Trade and a Bearish Mod ern Miller Summary Break It. Big Clearances Make It Firm AgainNews of the Trade. Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Oct. 19. Most of the traders thought the market ought to go up today, especially when tJey taw ihe light leceipts posted, but it was a hard niattei to put any new life into it, an the market tuck, December holding around 74c and Maj around 78c. Argentine shipments were only 664, OUO bu Daggett had a Duluth message re porting the sale there late iesterday of 18 loads wheat for eTport and of 200,000 bu 1 Buffalo. This looked pretty good, altho Rosen banm offset the price effect partly bj a report of larger marketing of winter wheat southwest, and receipts at Kansas Citj and bt. Louis snowed the southwest movement much moie libeial, the first market getting 212,000 bu against l'M.OOO. the other 84,000 against 63,000 It was Et home that the light run appeared, only 321 cars turn ing up heie against 407, and 233 against 263 at Duluth. This was disappointing to the bears, who had thought that the increabe of the few days very recently was a permanent turn. Chi cago had 45 cars against 37 and Winnipeg 344 against 436. Liverpool was the weak market that held prices down, wheat closing there }d lower. Minneapolis elevator stocks will increase about 876,000 bu for the week. Conditions are favor able for a free movement of grain. The weath er forecast reads: Illinois, fair tonight and Saturday, cooler in northeast portion, Indiana, lower and upper Michigan and Wisconsin, fair tonight and Saturday, cooler, Missouri, fair to night with cooler In east portion, Saturday in creasing cloudiness Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Montana, fair tonight and Saturday Iowa, fair tonight and Saturday Nebraska and Kansas, increasing cloudiness, with probably showers late tonight. Broomhall says that according to the New South Wales official report the area under wheat Is 2,200,000 acres against 2,253,000 acres last fear, but the indicated outturn is placed at 24,800,000 bu against 20,944,000 bu, the final figures for last year. Primary receipts were 1,076,000 bu against 1,079,000. The market broke after the noon hour on the Modern Miller summary, which was bearish Then the clearances for the day appeared at 686,000 bu, which was raised later to 876,000 bu, and this was favorable enough to turn the market firm again. The Modern Miller says "Winter wheat seed tag is rapidly nearlng completion. Farmers are rushing this work where not already done, as the season for planting is getting late. A large acreage has been put in and the soil Is In fine condition to start the growth of the plant, as there has been an abundance of moisture in mobt localities Broomhall cabled: "Wheat was quiet at the opening, with values %d lower, being influenced by weaker advices from Chicago. Later there was further disposition to sell, and the market eased off an additional %d on the advanse In the bank rate The undertone was steady, ow ing to the scarcity of Argentine offerings. Corn was quiet with values unchanged The under tone was steady, as the strength of La Plata cargoes offset the poor spot trade The weekly Argentine cable says the wheat market is firm with a good home demand. Arrivals from in terior light. General rains have fallen which have been very beneficial to the crops, which are now doing well The corn market continues weak with large offerings Arrivals from the Interior are large, with quality satisfactory." The estimate of the Market Record gives the three states 187,010,800 bu wheat instead of 170.000,000 RS rumored jesterday. The transportation situation as viewed from Chicago is given in the Record-Herald as fol lows: "Car shortage is having a detrimental effect on the grain trade in everv direction and comDlaints are multiplying rapidlv.

GOSSIP OF THE MARKETS New York to a E. Lewis: A private cable to one of the leading international banking houses this morning says that about 800,000 gold had been withdrawn from London for shipment to Egypt. A member of the firm states- that he thinks in all probability the heavy withdrawals for Egypt have had a great deal to do with the advance in the Bank of England rate to 6 per cent this morning. Montreal to Watson. The troubles in Canada over the Ontario bank affair is" another reason given for advance in Bank of England rates Whallon says. W have received following cablegram explaining rise in bank rate from London: "With the shipment of gold t Egypt and protection against American demands." Watson from New York: An explanation given for the extraordinary advance in Bank of Eng land rate is the sharp fall in sterling exchange here, but this reason Is hardly sufficient as we are told It was known here at 11 o'clock yes terday morning. Shearson to Wballon: I don't like the looks of the market at all. I had hoped tor a con siderable rallv from the low prices, but we don't seem to get it. We are all at sea to the full Import of the raising of the bank rate by the Bank of England on a Friday, which is something unusual and may be significant of something serious which we have not yet learned. I hardly feel like advising the liquida tion of stocks after this decline, but on any rally would get out of them for the time being. It is a pretty big bet to carry stocks over elec tion with the condltlops as mixed as they are here Randolph, New York, to PiperFrom what I can gather, the resignation of the French cab inet is of great significance to Russian finan cial affairs, as the new cabinet is opposed to extending any further credit or assistance to the Russian government. They believe that a collapse is inevitable and that the sooner France pulls out from Russian affairs and faces the situation the better it will be. Russia, we understand, has very heavy interest obligations maturing Nov. 1. and, altho default is probable, it is not inevitable, and this is a situation foreshadowed by the unusual action of the Bank of England meeting on Friday and advancing its rate to 6 per cent, which in London indi cates a panic process. It is hard to say wheth er our market, which has been taken com pletely by surprise, has yet discounted the situation. I certainly favor waiting further developments before buying stocks," even if our own situation is perfectly sound and the coun try In a most prosperous condition. One thing to be said that a default by the Russian gov ernment has generally been expected by for eign bankers. When I was abroad last year it was the general topic of conversation, there fore the situation is probably more or less dis counted. Rosenbaum reports the southwest selling wheat more freely.

New York, Oct. 19.The unheralded advance in the Bank of England's discount rate to 0 per cent threw the stock market into confuslou at the opening. There was a disorderly break in prices caused by a heavy unloading of specu lative accounts all thru the list.

Active inquiry in well-informed quarters gave" rise to a conviction that the action by the Bank of England was only a protective meas ure prompted by the heavy drain of the Egyp tian demand for gold and by threatened resump tion of New York takings of gold from London.

Globe and Black Mountain, however have not suffered much loss, and Helvetia ad vanced in the bid price. The policy taken up by the company has resulted rather in strengthening than weakening this stock. Sev eral large selling orders were taken off, be cause of the belief that by development only could Helvetia attain its rightful value as a mine.

North American Review. My experience as an author began early in 1867. I came to New York from San Fran cisco in the first month of that year and pres ently Charles H. Webb, whom I had known In Sati Francisco as a reporter on the Bulletin, and afterward editor of the Callfornian, sug gested that I publish a volume of sketches. I had but a slender reputation to publish it on, but I was charmed and excited by the suggestion and quite willing to venture it If pome industrious person would save me the trouble of gathering the sketches together. I Was loath to do it myself, for from the be ginning of my sojourn in this world there was a persistent vacancy in me where the in dustry ought to be. ("Ought to was is better, perhaps, tho the most of the authorities differ as to this.) Webb said I had some reputation in the Atlantic states, but I knew quite well that it must be of a very attenuated sort. What there was of it rested upon the storv of "The Tumping Frog When Artemus Ward passed thru California on a lecturing tour, in 1865 or 1866, I told him the "Jumning Frog" story, in San Francisco, and he. asked me to write it out and send it to his publisher Carleton. in New York, to be used in padding out a small book which Artemus had prepared for the press and which needed some more stuffing to make it big enough for the price which was to be charged for It. Webb had made an appointment for me with Carleton otherwise I never should have gotten over that frontier Carleton rose and said brusquely and aggressively: "Well what can I do for vou' I reminded him that I was there bv aopoint ment to offer him my book for publication He began to swell, and went on swelling and ^welling and swelling until he had reached the dimensions of a god of about the second or thlra degree. Then the fountains of his *reat deep were broken up an*? for -two tor hre minutes I couldn't see him for the rain Tt was words, only words, but they fell so densely that they darkened the atmosnhere finally he made an imposing sweep with bis ight hand, which comprehended the whole room, and said: "Bookslook at those shelves. Every one of them is loaded with books that are walt 'ng for publication. Do I want any more? ^cuse me I don't. Good morning." Twenty-one years elapsed before I saw Carle *on again, I was then sojourning with my1 'amily at" the Schweltzerhof, in Luzerne. He "ailed on me. shook hands cordially and said tt once, without anv preliminaries: "I am substantially nn obscure person, "but have at least one distinction to mv credit such colossal dimensions that it entitles mp lmmortalltvto-wit: I refused a book of ours, and for this I stand without com ^titor as the prize ass of the nineteenth cef "iiry." It was a most handsome apology', and I told 'fm so, and said it was a long-delayed re "pnge but was sweeter to me than any other 'hat could be devised that during the lapRed "A-enty-on years I had in fancy taken his 'fo several times every rear, and always In ln and increasingly cruel and Inhuman ways *i that now I was pacified, apoeaeed. happv. ven jubilant and that thenceforth I should hold Tsta my ttue, and valned friend and sever kin him again. g,. a 7 j" October 19, 1906.
