CHICAGO, Oct 31.—Wheat was strong
and active today on the Argentine news
and higher cables, December closing 1%
@l%c over yesterday. Corn closed %c
and oats %c higher for December deliv
ery. January provisions at the close
were 5c lower. • ■- -.;:?">.
Throughout the session in the wheat
pit speculative eyes were glued on the
Argentine advices. Numerous confirma
tory reports were "received, placing the
damage to the Argentine crop at from 40
to 50 per cent An advance of l%d at
Liverpool was also credited to the stories
sent from the other side of the equator.
In many quarters there was an Inclina
tion to consider the damage report exag
gerated. December opened %@%c higher
at 74@74%c. and on a good demand, shorts
leading, advanced sharply to, 74% c. At
this point profit taking caused a reaction -
to 74%(8)75%c, but as the offerings were
readily absorbed a further rally ensued.
December jumped to 74%@75c. and closed
1%@1%c higher at 74%@74?_.c. New York
reported 35 loads taken from export
Clearances at the seaboard were . equal
in wheat and flour to 289,000 bu. Primary
receipts were 841,000 bu, compared with
1,050,000 bu last year. Minneapolis . and
Duluth reported 447 cars, against 473 last
week- and 589 a year ago. Local receipts
were 109 cars, 6 of contract, grade. -
Corn was quiet but firm, influenced by
wet weather West, the receipts, 207 cars,
and the wheat strength. An advance at
Liverpool was also encouraging.- -There
was a fair. seaboard demand and clear
ances were 511 bu. December sold: be
tween 34%c>and 35% c, and closed Uc up
at He •
Oats were quiet, but prices held steady.
Changing November for later del.ver.es
formed the main business. Receipts were
89 cars. December sold between 21T_tC and
22% c, and closed %c higher at 22c.
The trade in nrOvislons was light and
feeling easier on liberal hog receipts and
lower prices at the yards. October pork
furnished the only incident. Until near
the close there were only two trades in
this cornered product. These were at
$17, yesterday's close. Later, however,
sales were made at $20, the close being
at the latter figure. January pork sold j
between $11.17% and $11.25, and closed 5c I
down at $11.20; January lard between $6.65 *
and $5.-67%, closing 5c lower at $6.65, and >
January ribs between $6.92% and $6.95, j
with the close 5c depressed at $6.9214.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: 1
Wheat, 190 cars; corn, 210 cars; oats, 105

NEW YORK, Oct/Sl.-i*Jrhe stock mar
ket became still further involved in apa
thy and Indifference today. .Business
was strictly in the hands of professional
traders, and they did not push - their
transactions in a very 1 energetic manner.
The "rally which developed late yesterday
in sympathy with the sudden upward
movement in Southern . Pacific retained
some force this morning, with the evi
dence of continued buying in that stock.
The opening level of -prices was higher
than last night, and there was gome fur
ther advance, but when it became evi
dent that .the, buying _orders in Southern
Pacific had been filled the market fell
into a sort of lethargy. The resulting
tendency to sag developed very gradually
until hear the close,; when the profes
sional bears took courage and offered
prices down. The experiment- proved
that-buying orders were very, scarce for
a considerable range below the market;
and some sharp declinleswere establish
ed before 'meeting any demand. • -As a
iresult the earlier gains were completely
wiped out and the market closed below
last night all around. The weakness
was" most marked in the high priced in
dustrials, the local traction stocks and
the steel stocks, i In the railroads the
Pacifies were conspicuous on the decline.
Northern. Pacific falling, almost . a point
below last night, while in Southern Pa
cific, Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific
the decline from the best was a point*
The conditions affecting the market were
the same as yesterday, namely, a disin
clination to enter further on speculation
until after the election. The decline in
Tennessee coal was coincident with re
ports of the dissatisfaction of the man
agement The money market continued
quiet-and easy, but it is not improbable
that future prospects have a depressive
tendency on speculation. Receipts of
$1,100,000 gold from Europe today and sub
treasury payments on account of Klon
dike gold were contributing causes to th e
ease of the money market. The official
report of sub-treasuryS operations indi
cates that the ban__^_|ave gained from
that institution sincM /Friday $1,150,000,
but it Is to be rerneihpeßed that the banks
drew over their limit atjahe sub treasury
on - Friday last sonfe g 53,600,000 on ac
count of the Australian Sold, so as to fig
ure in last weeks statement, thus
accounting for the .us«&CDected increase
in the cash reservesfdhij'Saturday. .While
this transaction ha;,"-' already -_ figured ln

-eluded in this week's 5, Statement of the
sub treasury •" operations, and must be
allowed for ta estimajStf- next. Saturday's
bank statement frojtaJ|the sub-treasury
figures. -. Discounts both in London and
In Berlin advanced : -shdrply today. This
was;:due partly to jthe-- monthly settle
ments, but In London-* it Is evident that
the Bank of England's efforts to stiffen
the open market rates for money is meet
ing with success and. sterling rates both
here and in London and Paris rose in
response today. It Is not believed that
the Bank of England is yet prepared to
advance the official discount rate tomor
row-hut that its maneuvers will lead to
that result is probable, which Is to be
reckoned within the calculation on fur
ther gold Imports. Meantime, the local
money market may look for further ad r
vantage from the disbursements of inter
est and dividends after tomorrow. Pay
ments of government interest alone will
amount to nearly $3,000,000. But the con
tinued large demand of the sub treasury,
on account of Internal revenue collec
tions, will be an offsetting influence for
some time to come. ...

their dealings merely" followed the New

closing at practically the best. The bull
ish sentiment on Southern Pacific in
New York, was apparently shared in
here, as good buying of these shares
was reported today. There was some talk
of an advance of the bank rate tomor

CHINESE INDEMNITY.
Punishment of Those in Authority
• Must Come First.
WASHINGTON. D. C, Oct 31.—Much
as the authorities wish that the discus
sion of the indemnity question in con
nection with the Chinese peace negotia
tions had come up, it Is said authorita
tively that this is a matter which has
not yet been given consideration. The
punishment of the responsible authors of
the Chinese outrages Is first to be set
tled, and Minister Conger and some of
his colleagues at Pekin are demanding
blood as expiation. President McKinley,
it is said, will be satisfied should Prince
Tuan be degraded and exiled. Germany,
however, wants Tuan beheaded.
Steps have not yet been taken by this
government to ascertain the extent of the
indemnity China will pay the United
States". The state department has been
informed that other powers have been
collecting data upon which to base claims
for Indemnity. It Is said, however, there
is no . foundation for . the report that
$200,000,000 is being collected from China
by the powers as the amount of indem
nity. The total will probably be greater.
CUBAN PROGRESS.
London " Financier Commends the
American Administration.
LONDON, Oct. 30.—Joseph White Todd,
president of the Cuban Central Railway
company, while making his annual re
port today to the shareholders, paid a
glowing tribute to what he called the
splendid administration afforded Cuba by
the government of the United States
since the war." Mr. Todd said:
"Uncle Sam's regime has been a great
boon to the island. It has restored peace
and security with extraordinary prompt
ness and has given every encouragement
to legitimate industry, f For example, the
energetic Yankee seems to have stimu
lated the natives to put off in some meas
ure the Indolence |of the tropics for the
activity of the temperate zone* Every
where in the region penetrated by *ur
lines we see the beginnings of a genuine
industrial enthusiasm and a hope for
the speedy. return to Cuba of . her more
prosperous days." ~—;

Receipts were again heavy. The' fat
sheep and lamb market was very dull, as .
most of the packers were filled- up with
previous buyings. Stock and feeding
stuff was also slow and selling 15 to 26c
lower, but salesmen were of the opinion
that the lower prices was due entirely to
wet fleece and that the market would
have been steady and active with dry *
