WHEAT IS STRONG AT THE OPENING Corn, Too, Showed Firmness, but Fafr Weather Made Bearish Market. The opening of the wheat market yes ten lay was strong and there was a good general demand for both the December and May optious. On the advance there waa considerable profit-taking and a sharp decline followed. The close, however, ■was :ii a .slight advance over Saturday. Shorts and commission houses bought corn yesterday on higher .aWi'S. The fair weather in the belt proved a great bear argument and prices fHI off before the close. The market had but little sup port and prices ruled weak after the first bulge. Oats were governed by the ac tlon of corn and wheat. The opening was steady at a .shade lower. With the de cline in corn a slump came in oats. The stock market was strong and steady yesterday. While the volume of trade was small, the tendency of the market wag upward. A much higher market for good railroad stocks is looked for. What the Brokers Say. y.. I)'pi an & Co.'s Chicago grain letter says: Wheat —Wheat opened with a great dis play of strength, the shorts in December option being uneasy on account of the V,i decline at St. Louis. The latter mar ket quickly declined until it was lc un der Sat unlays close. Our market foil awa-y with it but did not go as far, and ruled steady on the decline. The close was at a small advance over Saturday. Liverpool w.is higher, in the lace of heavy world's shipments, of which America anil Russia furnished the bulk. Kullish pri vate advices from America influenced the :ui wince. Corn—Corn opened practically higher. and Immediately fell on profit taking and short filing by bear element in the pro vision pit. The ideal weather prevailing throughout the belt was a bearish fea ture. The demand from the East was Black ;ii!«l country offerings were light I rade waa small and the tone dull. We <!<> not see any good reason for selling corn short and much prefer to operate on the long side. At present prices there is a progt >n feeding cattle and hogs, and Uu consumptive demand promises to be good. Oats— There's very little to be said in regard to the market. The trade was liglu and prices inclined to drag, with no feature whatever. Cash business was small. O'Connor & Van Bergen's stock letter says: Opening prices came higher and have been well maintained; business has con tinued throughout the day upon a fairly active scale; a large part of the traders have taken the long side of the market s} lld. .^•nt'ment is for the moment more decidedly bullish, but barring some activ ity 111 the bond market, transactions are purely professional, and there is no indi cation as yet of returning interest on the part of the public; it is likewise true that there are but few stocks for sale and any demand will cause a sharp advance in the prices of all railroad stocks; the pres ent holders of securities are well able to continue to keep them, and it is very evident that they do not intend to dis pose of their interests at this level; the great decline in prices of good railroad stocks which has taken place has not been due to any falling off of business or shrinkage in actual values, but to an en tire lack of confidence on the part of the l>eople generally, and only time will cure the present situation and restore the be lief and confidence which have been so roughly shaken. J. C. Geraghty & Co.'s correspondents say of stocks- Logan & Bryan— The market continues to improve; it is not active and the de mand for stocks is not large, but it shows an improving tendency and there is lit tle or no selling pressure; all the gossip and talk from Wall street indicates that confidence is being restored; the stock market offers many attractive investments to Bret-class stocks; it will be strange if the investment demand docs not reach the stock market; the bears have ques tioned the solvency of pretty much every thing and everybody possible, and their occupation In that line is about gone- we advise purchases of stocks and expect a good bull market between now and Janu tiry 1.

MINN, STOCK PRICES ARE UP PROFESSIONALS RAISE THEM, BUT DO NOT GAIN VERY MUCH Market Experiences a Stagnant Condition Much of the Time, but Yields Little- Improved Situation at Baltimore and Pittsburg Produces Encouragement, NEW YORK, OcJ. 26.—Professional operators did not find much difficulty in bidding up prices today, and their oper ations made up the large part of the rather limited stock market. They met ligtit offerings of stock as prices advanc ed, but they attracted no outside follow ing to speak of. Some buying by un covered bear operators was induced, and this helped somewhat the advance. In the occasional pauses ia the professional operations on the advance the market fell into an almost stagnant condition, but yielded little. The closing was strong and not much below the best. The days news was not especially en couraging, and in fact offered several doubtful factors. But the traders are in clined to argrue that the resistance offer ed by last week's market to the effect of the failures in Baltimore and Pittsburg is evidence of an underlying condition of strength. The failures at Baltimore and 1 lttsburg not only exercised an influence of their own, but they aroused a spirit of suspicious inquiry into banking and trust company conditions as a whole Other Failures Not Feared. This.makes it Improbable that these cuUtions nave any surprises in store in the banking world, and the operators In stocks are encouraged from this to feel a confidence that other failures would be with as little effect if! Wall street as those which have already occurred Spe cific reports of improved conditions at Pittsburg and Baltimore also conduced to tne feeling of encouragement. r The ad vance in prices was not affected by the admissions in the weekly reviews of rail road traffic, now first made, that the gen eral traffic situation does not look so strong as it did a month ago. This is in strong contrast to the great confidence ex pressed by traffic officials over the future of business up to this time. This week's report admits that everything i s moving in much smaller volume than at any time in many months, and for the first time in a long while sme of the roads have their freight solicitors actively at work These reports come from sources that have complained hitherto that Wall street >&!■, "if ? nIX. blue spot in the country. Now that the evidence of depression is appearing at other points, Wall street experiences the relief from having al ready gone through this process of con traction. There was also an appreciably firmer market for time money today, and call loans rose to 4 per cent, : when be lated borrowers supplied their needs. New York exchange at Chicago fell to 50c dis count and attention is awake for the long expected movement of currency west- "... Why the Light Decrease.

RULES WEAK NEARLY ALL DAY, BUT RALLIES AT THE END Uncertainty of th e Situation at St. Louis Is the Cause of Feebleness—Considera ble Long Wheat Comes Out on the Ad vance—Corn and Oats Leave Off Lower. CHICAGO. Oct. .26—A nervous senti ment permeated trading in wheat today, due to the uncertainty surrounding the sit- I uation at St. Louis, but after ruling weak the greater part of the session,, a fair rally was experienced late In the day on % * er4»t xport dema? d- and December closed with a gain of %@%c. December corn closed %c lower, oats were off %c and January provisions from 2%c to 7%c ' The opening in wheat gave promise of a bull market. Liverpool cables showing better prices and a big advance being re ported iat St. Louis. There was good general buying of both December and May at the start, the former month open ing &@% c to %@s4c higher at 81% @ 81 %c, with May about steady. A good deal of long wheat came out on the ad vance, and there was also selling for short account, and when a break occurred at St. Louis the market here also declined. Large ; world's shipments and favorable weather were responsible for some of the selling pressure. The continued liberal ship,nts from Russia and the shipment of 120,000 bu of wheat from Australia, which country has been on an importing basis for the past few years, were the principal bear factors. Th« decline in corn also helped to depress wheat prices, and under these Influences December dropped to 81c. A smaller increase in th visible supply than had been expected— 0n1y.189,000 together with reports from the seaboard of a fair export business had a strengthening influence during th*. last hour and the market recovered much of the earlier loss. December closed with a gain of %@V£c at 81% c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 26 000 bu. Primary receipts were M,367,100 bu, against 1,875,100 bu a year ago. The ; amount on Passage decreased 948,000 bu. Minneapolis and Duluth re ported receipts of 912 cars, which, with lo cal receipts of 87 cars, none of contract grade, made total receipts for the three points of 990 cars, against 929 cars last week and 1,405 cars a year ago. Corn Is Unsupported. .Support was lacking in the corn mar ket, and, as a result, prices ruled wean. The opening was steady on firm cables and strength in wheat, but a weak tone soon developed on profit-taking with sell ing by provision interests. The excellent weather was a bear factor and the full ness of trade tended to hold prices down. After selling between 43% and 44% c De cember closed %c lower at 44% c. Local receipts were 302 cars, with 16 of contract grade. S Oats also suffered from lack of trade, and. although opening prices were steady on the strength in wheat, when one or two commission houses began to sell the mar ket turned weak and remained on a lower level the entire day. The weakness in corn had a depressing effect. December closed at a loss of %c at 36»/ic, after rang ing between 36Vsc and 36% c. Local re ceipts were 244 cars. Provisions had an easier undertone, due to selling by packers, who were promi nent buyers Saturday, and in the absence of any material support. Smaller re ceipts of hogs, with an advance of from ■6c to 10c in prices of hogs at the yards, caused, a slight show of firmness- at the start, but the market soon turned weaker January * Pork closed 7^,c lower it |1_.0i%; - January lard was off 2%c at. •iioi??' and ribs were also down 2»£c at ?e.3-'%.- .'. ■ - j . • . .
