CAMPBELL COMMISSION CO, LIVE §TOCK COMMISSION BERGHASiTS. SOUTH ST.PiUL, .... MINNESOTA U/EEKLY MARKET LETTER South St. Paul, Oct. 2. CATTLE—Butcher cattle have de clined 25@35 cents this week. The decline applies more particularly to the common to fair grades of killing Btuff, but it has hit everything- that has been on sale here, as we have had no killing cattle that were good. Good feeding cattlt? are fully 10 cents lower, while common kinds are a flat 25 cents off, with the trade weak, in Bym- p # athy with the lower values in killing cattle. Very best stock cattle are about steady with last week's lower prices, but the common to fair stuff is J5@25 cents lower, with trade dull at the drop. There seems to be no de mand for stock calves unless they are choice, and as we have had scarcely anything on sale in the choice line, th 6 trade in this class has been very dull. Feeding bulls are holding about steady and moving- fairly well. Veals are 25 entß lower. Good milch cows are Steady, but the common cows are slow and weak.

CAMPBELL COM. CO. THE ST. PAUL GLOBS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1902. DULLNESS IN STOCKS OBVIOUS DISPOSITION TO KEEP AD VANCES OF PRICES WITHIN MODERATE LIMITS TODAY'S COAL CONFERENCE HAS RESTRAINING INFLUENCE Prices Flatten Out Almost Completely, Which Fact Is Regarded With Relief and Satisfaction by the Best Opinion In the Financial World—Crisis Averted by Secretary Shaw's Action. NEW YORK, Oct. —There was an in creasing tendency to dullness in the stock market today, and the conditions became semi-stagnant at times. There was an obvious readiness, back.cd by powerful re sources, to support the market at any in dication of a break in prices,- such as oc curred at the opening, but there was an equally obvious disposition to keep ad-* vacces within moderate limits and not In duce any renewed outbreak of extensive speculation. The adoption of this policy in stock market operations by well equip ped forces served to reinforce the admon ishing policy of the banks to restrict the speculative employment of funds until 'the money outlook has cleared up entire ly. The desire to await the result of to morrow's conference of coal operators and miners' representatives with President. Roosevelt was also a restraining influ ence on speculation. As a consequence, speculation flattened out almost completely, and this develop ment was regarded with genuine relief and .satisfaction by the . best opinion in the financial world. . Bad Crisis Averted. It is realizing that the relief offered to the money market by Secretary Shaw's action averted a crisis that promised to become dangerous, and the determir* i ion is manifest not to allow the resources thus provided to be prodigally used for the purpose of renewed speculative infla tion of securities. There are various de velopments Sto show also that there are abundant requirements upon New York money sources yet to be met, and that some of the possible sources of relief have been shut off for the present, by the possession of the additional facilities af forded by the release of reserves against government deposits. - There was a de posit at the. sub treasury, today of $450,000 for telegraphic transfer to New Orleans, and the movement of currency by express is against New York on balance. Today's advance in the Bank of Eng land minimum discount ■ rate and the weekly exhibit of that institution and of the Bank of San Francisco are clear in dications that no gold is likely to be spared by either of those institutions at present for shipment to New York. Advance In Sterling Exchange. Sterling exchange advanced sharply here, and a later decline was due purely to the.fact of the postponement of the sail-, ing of tomorrow's steamship for Liver pool. The loss in gold by the Bank of England this week reached over $7,540, --000, and that of the Bank of France some $4,720,000. The English institution ex panded its loan account $27,675,000, bring ing the proportion of reserve to liability down to 44.63 per cent, compared with 53.87-per cent last week, while the French bank increased its note issues $24,120,000 and its loans $34,185,000. Such move ment as there was today in the market was confined to a few stocks. Advance in Norfolk & Western, on expectation of an increased dividend, caused a sympathetic response -in the Pennsylvania group and a rise in Colorado Fuel was ostensibly based upon the decree of a Colorado court, providing for the holding of the annnual-election. Some of the independ ent steel stocks followed this movement. The few gains were much curtailed' and last prices showed mixed net changes. The course of the. bond market was halting and irregular. Total sales, par value, $3,522,000. United States new 4s declined *4. per cent on the last call. Stocks. |Sales[High|Low|Close Atchison ..

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.—Trading In corn was one of the principal features on the Board of Trade today and considerable strength was manifested in both the grain and provision pits. December corn closed %@>%c higher, December wheat was y^c lower, while oats closed %c high er. January provisions closed from a shade lower to 10c higher. The recent bullish sentiment in wheat was again in evidence at the opening today, due partly to smaller receipts with poor grading and unfavorable weather in some sections. Longs bought freely and offerings were somewhat re stricted, which caused higher prices early in the day. Toward the close the demand was less pronounced and with more lib eral offerings prices weakened. December opened %<y)%c lower to a shade higher at 69%@(-9%c. Advance and Reaction. On good buying there was an advance to 70*4® 70 %c, but later a recation set in and the close was Vie lower at 69%@ 69% c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 616,000 bu. Primary receipts were 1,365,000 bu. against 1,242,000 bu a year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth re ported receipts of 802 cars, which, with local receipts of 122 cars—with other three of contract grade—made total re ceipts for the three points of 924 cars, against 1,056 cars last week and 1,000 cars a year ago. Corn was strong and higher, with large trade, with December holding the atten tion of traders. Longs bought freely as did outsiders, influenced largely by reports of the poor prospect of getting contract corn due to the unfavorable weather. Light movement was also a strengthen ing factor. Shorts were active buyers throughout the day. Considerable real izing took place on the bulge'which caused a slight reaction. December opened %(§> ViC to %@%c higher at 47%@48:b4c, ad vanced steadily to 48% c and the close was strong and %(5)%c higher at 48% c. Local receipts Were 123 cars, with 29 of contract grade. Oats and Provisions. Oats were fairly active, but without any special feature, being influenced largely by the action of corn. There was some covering: by shorts and commission nouses also bought moderately. Volume of trade was rather light. - The close was about steady. December opened un changed at 3114 c. selling between 31*4® ol%c. the close being %c higher at 31% c. Local receipts were 110 cars. Provisions were strong, with an active demand for October ribs early by shorts. A good demand existed the entire session for the entire list with local longs and commission houses taking- on large quan tities. Strength in corn, small receipts or hogs with higher prices at the yards, together -with a large decrease in > con ' tract stocks for September were all - bull factors. January pork closed 10c high er at $15.45; lard was a shade lower at $*-<5@|.77%. and ribs closed 2%c higher at $B.l* %. . ■ ■.' ■ ' ■ .'- The estimated receipts for tomorrow are: Wheat, 105 cars; corn, 90 cars: oats, 120 cars and 13,000 head of hogs.

Minneapolis—Another little upturn de veloped in wheat and in the early trading December made a high point %c above Wednesday's close, on sales to 6G%c. Un like the gain of Wednesday, this rise was due, not so much to strength in wheat proper as to sympathetic strength arisingl from an active and higher corn market. In Chicago some of the corn men, be lieving the strength in corn would stim ulate all prices, came into wheat, not to any great . extent, but enough so to help alt rig the rise. Continental markets' showed some disposition to - respond to our advance of Wednesday, and Paris made a close at 20 to 40 centimes up on flour, but Liverpool failed to respond and closed unchanged on wheat, and Vi@Vnd higher on corn. The corn buying .in Chicago was said to come principally from Harris, Gates & Co., while Armour w.-i.s the big buyer in wheat. The North west showed up better than Wednesday with 802 cars, against' 847 last year, and while Duluth made another gain and Min neapolis another | loss, the differences v.ere not so great, Minneapolis getting 4io cars, against 628 last year, and Du lutli 362 cars, against 219. ■ ..'Clearances, although only half as heavy as Wednesday, made a good showing at 610,000 bu. At primary points 1,356.000 bu were received, against 1,242,000 last year, and 770.000 bu -shipped,- against 410,000 bu. The Price Current says farm work has been delayed by rains, but the ground is in good condition, and the win ter wheat sown early is showing up even ly. The weather is unseasonable for ripening corn . and is lowering the qual ity to some extent. Late in. the session. a Chicago firm wired: "It looks as if Armour . had. covered a , lot of short De cember wheat this morning that he had out against the September. It doesn't look very strong, considering all the buy ing he did and a lot of . big local traders tailed on and bought a. lot of wheat arcund 70c to 70*40." Later advices said tha continued: advance in corn has driven in a number of wheat shorts and induced some buying for long account. Strength seems to be borrowed and its continuance now hirges.upon corn. , Logan and Can by have been good buyers at the advance. Following these.came a slide in -.Chicago." followed promptly by decline here, and December sold down to 65% c, closing at 6Ci:;May closed at 67% c. ~ . ••■_. ;. •■- Good -demand, ruled for the cash stuff. 1 Millers bought spot wheat and there was a little inquiry for No. 1 northern to ar rive, r The basis was unchanged, but. the tendency was a trifle firmer, and on sales at the early part of the option - better fig ures ,than Wednesday were obtained.

RATE OF DISCOUNT ADVANCED. Bank of England Puts It Up From 3 to 4 Per Cent. LONDON, Oct. 2.—The Bank of Eng land's rate of discount was Increased from 3 to 4 per cent today. The advance'had in a great measure been anticipated in consequence of the stringency of the money market and the depletion of gold, as shown by the re port of tho Bank of England. Conse quently Its effect on the stock exchange was moderate. Prices declined fractional ly in all the leading departments, under the lead of consols, which lost one-eighth of a point. Opinion in Lombard b!r~^t fa vored an advanco of a full point, as it was claimed that the time for precautionary measures had arrived. Notwithstanding Secretary Shaw's measures, a stior.g de mand for bar gold for the United States continues, and Egypt and South Ani.-rlca are also customer*. 9
