6 THE COMMERCIAL RECORD. The Visible Supply Statement Gave a .-• Black Eye to Wheat on the Chicago Board. St. Louis For the First Time Got a Place in the Decrease Column. Transactions in the Financial Circle of Wall Street—The General Quotations. Special to the Globe. Chicago, Oct. 3.— wheat market was dull and featureless after the first excitement attending upon the opening trading was over. The initial quotations were **@Uc under Saturday's closing. Cables were un interesting. They were not explicitly bear ish, and they certainly were not bullish. Correspondents wired that New York ex porters were buying considerable wheat, all the leading houses picking up a good deal of property. Nightengale alone, of the ex porters, was a seller. It became apparent before the session was far advanced that the statisticians who bad been forecasting a de crease in the visible supply, were away off in their guesses. The official figures make gaii increase of 834.000 bu. The buoyancy that characterized the market several days last week has all departed, and the prevailing opinion on the lloor is that values will settle. When a market does not bull speculators figure that it is liable to do the other thing, decline. Trading was light all day, and there was no spirit or snap to the deal. Oats were quiet and practically un changed. Provisions were in a state of tran quility. Ribs and pork opened a shade lower, but recovered and remained steady. Lard was the strongest article on the list, but the improvement was so light as to HARDLY DESERVE MENTION. The market remained passive for fifteen or twenty minutes after the official announce ment of the visible supply, and then it hoove down. November was inactive, but December broke to 70c and May to 78c. The market had no support from any quar ter. The 1 o'clock range was at the bottom. Corn remained steady with the average of prices above the level of Saturday's close during the greatest part of the session, but just before the close it softened in sympathy with wheat, but closed about the same as Saturday. At the afternoon board there was fair activity in wheat and corn, and wheat closed a shade lower than at Ip. m. 2:30 p. m.

Chicago, Oct. 3.—The black eye given to wheat by the visible supply statement was the leading feature on 'change to-day. When the figures were announced at noon, showing an increase of 854,000 bushels in wheat for the week, there was an immediate effect on the market. Enough of the statement was known all morning so that an increase was no surprise to the trade. The surprise was in the amount of increase. Prices had al ready declined and slightly reacted. Then, too, the posted statement showed that the in crease was confined principally to Minneap olis and the canal and lakes. Nearly all the winter wheat points showed a decrease, and St. Louis for the first time this season was in the decrease column. There was nothing apparent in the general situ ation to prove a serious bar to better prices in the near future, the 834,000 bushels looked large and another half cent decline was at once added to the decline of the morning, and December wheat soon touched 73c, lc under the close on Saturday and %c below the opening figures. - .-..• .7 The decline for all options was nearly uni form, being about 101 tfce, and the close be ing at inside prices. December opened at 7;>7t;c. a decline of Vsc from Saturday's latest figures, sold at 73M>, reacted to 73% c, de clined to 73t'iC. and then suddenly to 73c, closing finally at 72",fec. May opened to 79c, and declined with slight fluctuations to 781,4 c. . .vv Corn was entirely in the hands of the local crowd and the market was largely dictated by a local operator who was both a buyer and a seller at times, but the tendency was downward and the closing prices were a shade lower than those of Saturday. The decrease of 174.000 bushels in the visible supply had no effect. The ex tensive charters 390,000 bushels, were not sufficiently public to affect the pit. The pit was unusually quiet early, but there was better business before the "close. Vovember opened at 4*^i,i!C, sold down to 42Uc, up to 42% c, and closed at 42% c. In oats there was a falling off in the speculative business as compared with the close of last week, Dut in the cash oats by sample there was about the customary trade. Iv the spec ulative market the fluctuations were so very small that no material change from Satur day's closing prices was quotable, and cash oats were very steady. Provisions were un settled, but a fair business was transacted at an irregular range of prices. Receipts of hogs were liberal and prices easier. The re port of slocks on hand Sept. 30 made a smaller showing than was generally expected, and exhibited a decrease during the month of 27.000 bbls mess pork, 72.500 tierces con tract lard, and 10.226.000 lbs short ribs, The small stocks of lard made shorts nervous and they covered rapidly, making trade in that article quite lively and advancing prices 2Va 07' the near futures recording the great est gain. Short ribs were unsettled, closing 10c lower. Mess pork was weaker. January declining S@7V2C, closing at $12.33012.371.. THE QUOTATIONS.

The market was weak, however, long before that was an nounced. Bayers were scarce from the open ing, and the second sale of the morning showed »4<- decline from the opening.

The stock market was fairly active but weak throughout the day and material declines were made all over the list. The bear party was again active and aggressive and while their opponents were indisposed to support prices the manipulation for a decline had full swing. Advantage was taken of the un favorable rumors in regard to the grangers, chief among which was the story that treas ury stock of the Northwestern was being sold, to which were added the influence of the de creasing earnings of the St. Paul and the rate troubles in the Northwest. These besides furnished a pretext for raiding the entire list, and a number of the most active stocks were forced down from 1 to 2 points. Western Union was the only strong spot in the market . and served to check the declining tendency for some time during the forenoon. Its special firmness was due to the continued circulation of the stories in re gard to the acquirements of the Baltimore & Ohio telegraph system. The persistent at tacks of the - raiders, however, wiped out most of its early gains before the close. The opening was weak at declines of from % to % per cent, from Saturday's final figures and while Western Union was decidedly strong, the remainder of the list was quite irregular and.soon became weak. New England showed considerable strength in the fore noon and losses in the general list were kept down to fractions until afternoon'when the weakness displayed by Richmond & West Point was the signal' for a general decline.. The attack was especially upon St. Paul during the last hour and most of the loss was made at that time. The close was quiet, but weak at or near the lowest prices of the day.

Flour— Market Record says: The in quiry today was good and about the usual number of sales are mentioned. ; The larger exporters say they can sell all the flour to go abroad on forward contracts they • care to book at present prices. The wheat is moving slowly in the country and many of the local millers are of the opinion that stocks of new wheat will fall short of the demand before the crop year ends. With this in view they have confidence in the future flour market and are not so anxious to make sales that run too far into the future without being due. Local manufacturers say they have been especially favored in having old wheat here to carry them far into October, since the new crop was so late in getting into shape.
