Weakness in the St. Louis wheat mar -1; i caused prices to break on the Chicago board yesterday. After a decline of lc in tin December option the market strengthened on firm cables and the big cash business of Tuesday. During the last half hour of the session pit traders be came active buyers. The corn market followed the action of Wheat. The bear interests tried to make a big raid on account of the banking situ ation In St. Louis, but they failed. After a slight decline the market became strong on heavy cash purchases. Oats wore firm "ii small receipts. There was little trade. The tone of the stock market was much improved yesterday. While trade was not extremely heavy, there was a good un dertone and the tendency of the entire lisl was upward. Railroad stocks were strong and the industries also showed im provement. What the Brokers Say: M. Doran & Co.'s Chicago grain letter says: Wheat—Wheat was weak until past midday, under influence of threatened financial troubles in St. Louis and the break in the December there. The restor ation of confidence among depositors of the trust' companies and the consequent better, feeling caused a rapid recovery in the wheat market there and here. The market developed considerable strength particularly in the December, during the late trading and closed at a sharp ad-" vance. The news continue* of a bullish character. Minneapolis stocks decreased so far this week 175,000 bushels and large export sales of flour are reported from there. The excellent cash business Tues day was a feature. Coin —The bear party attempted to raid coin on the St. Louis news and weakness in wheat, but without success. A promi nent short was a buyer on the decline. The tone became very strong near the close and prices advanced rapidly. The demand for shipment is steady, sales amounting to 250,000 bu. Country offer ings are light and elevator people say it is easier to sell corn than to buy it. The perfect weather for the movement which has prevailed so long is about to end, ac cording to the weather map. The quick advance at the close is an indication of What will take place when some news turns up to convince the shorts that they are wrong. Oats—Oats were fairly steady during the morning weakness in neighboring pits and there was good local buying when wheat and corn became strong, which' carried prices to above Tuesday's close, I lure was no particular feature to the trade, however. .1. C. Geraghty & Co.'s correspondents say of stocks: Logan & Bryan— market is steadier and on the whole a little firmer. Bearish efforts were resumed in some of the in dustrials with some effect, but the tone of the rails is firm. The market is dull. Pressure from liquidation is, however slight. The Gould stocks show especial strength. The Atchison statement was very favorable. The underlying conditions are good, the undertone of the market -is strong and we think in the near future the market will do better. Dick Bros.—The market has been very irregular. There were no unfavorable de velopments in St. Louis, and this caused more or less covering. Manipulation was seen in Missouri Pacific and other Gould shares, but induced no real buying. Penn sylvania was bid up on assurances that the regular dividend will be paid, other wise the price movements were sluggish and the net changes were unimportant. O'Connor & Van Bergen's stock letter says: . _ .- The stock market scarcely admits of comment, but prices have held with rea sonable firmness, and the trouble in St Louis appears to have been greatly ex aggerated. It would be strange indeed if after two years of such conditions as have obtained in money matters institu tions throughout the country should not show weakness in certain directions. The ease with which money was made by un derwriting enterprises of various kinds' was so conspicuous that it is evident that corporations as well as individuals must have pursued the policy of interesting themselves in ventures until the danger line hi.d really been passed. It is prob able that New York experienced this evil and forced a process of liquidation soon or than some of the other cities, but it «nd £»&&& continued both in Baltimore and Pittsburg, and now to a less extent again in the' West. - Solvent institutions are not going to be injured by this and the. country in general has ■ made money so raPV dIV and is so prosperous that?t will not take any great length of time to overcome the bad influence exerted Tv these suspensions. . In the past durine the period which comes immediately aft"? such panics as we have known gre^it prostration has been observed in the gen eral business of the country. This is not the. case at present, and. although losses have been enormous, many of them have been simply the extinction of paper prof its and the country itself is In a very different position a s regards commercial and manufacturing affairs than it has ever been to our recollection before when 7on ulsFon Cen SWept by a »ancia New York Money. *NEXyj2RK- Oct. 28.—Money on call mm at 3®5 per cent, closing bid 4V>, of fered v: time loans firm; sixty days 414 Sff!i °- ellL: . ninety dars and six months 4%©5.

STOCKS ARE LOWER WITHDRAWALS OF CURRENCY BY ST. LOUIS THE CAUSE Quotations for a Time Range Below Tuesday's—Best < Prices of the Day Show in the Last Hour, When a Reac tion Occurs and the Closing l s Easy. NLWI'ORK, Oct. 28.—-The effect of the bt. Louis situation upon the market was again somewhat obscure today. The ex pressions of confidence over night from that point that the situation is sound had a reassuring effect on the early trading, and prices hardened. The opening of bus iness m St. Louis, which was somewhat later owing to the difference in time, was followed by a reaction in stocks The yep- heavy withdrawals of currency from this center by St. Louis carried the level of prices of stock generally below last night. But the last hour of the market showed the best prices of the day, the morning level being generally exceeded by a fraction. In the final dealings prices yielded again and the closing was rather **£<■ s, urvey. ,of Price changes will show tnat the whole movement was very trivial and net changes were insignificant, ex cept in a few cases. The dullness of the market was itself a reflection in some sort of the uncertainty felt over the St. Louis situation, which prompted a waiting attitude rather than a disposition, to sell. I here was no selling which was attribut ed to St. Louis account unless it might have been American Car. The quarterly report of net earnings in the Pressed Steel Car company, showing them to be less than half of those for the coire sponding quarter of last year, naturally had a sympathetic effect on American Car as well as weakening the Pressed Steel Car stocks. Goulds Are Strong. nOn the other hand, the stocks of the Gould Southwest railroads centering in St Louis were among the few features of positive strength in the market, although there was nothing to show that there was any significance local to St. Louis attach ing to this movement. Pennsylvania was also strong, and People's Gas had an early advance on a favorable court decis ion. The speculative movement in Amal gamated Copper might be classed as marking time and the dealings in the stock were in much diminished volume. The situation in St. -Louis resulted in telegraphic transfers to that city from here through the subtreasury of 100 - 000. In addition there was $650,000 sent to Chicago and $200,000 to New Orleans « This is a plain Intimation that the West ern crop-moving needs, although long de ferred, are making large inroads upon local banking reserves, quite aside from the emergency requirements at St. Louis. It was not surprising, therefore, that the rate for call money should rise to 5 per cent this afternoon, and the tone of the time money market grow distinctly firmer. The rise in local money rates may have contributed to the sharp break in sterling exchange, although the of ferings of cotton bills in that market were reported in very large volume, and heavy exports of grain were also engaged. '"■ Bank Showing May Be Weak. ','.• This prepared expectation for a weaken ing.' of the bank showing of " next Satur day. But with New York bank reserve's"' higher than in the corresponding. period for several years past, and with the lim ited government deposits promised by the secretary of the treasury to relieve the situation still $25,000,000 away, there is no real present uneasiness over the mon etary situation. As an evidence of the spirit of distrust towards banks and trust companies, the St. Louis episode is never theless deeply impressive, to the appre hension of the financial world. :• • There was some falling off from the re cent volume of bond transactions, and. a reactionary tendency in spots made the market irregular.

CHICAGO, Oct. 28.—The financial situ ation at St. Louis in conjuction with the unsettled condition of December wheat there was a puzzle that kept traders here guessing today and wheat prices were largely influenced by the action of the Southwest market. With a fair rally there late in the day the market here closed firm, with December wheat 14c higher. December com was up Ko*£c oats were %c higher, and January~pro vsions were from a shade to 10c higher. I-nder the influence of the large export of yesterday and more reassuring news from St. Louis in i-egard to the bank sit uation there, wheat opened firm, with a good general demand, December being up V&c- to %c at 80% c to 80% c. Traders watched carefully the action of the St. Louis market and when prices there began the decline soon after the opening, apprehensions of further trouble seized the pit, and a selling movement was begun, which became general when the Decem ber option at St. Louis showed a loss of over a cent within the first hour. Pros pects of increased receipts in the North west also helped in bringing out selling orders and the market soon became weak. December declining to 80 %c. The uncer tainty of conditions in the Southwestern market caused traders to withhold orders and await developments, which resulted In a tame market toward the middle of the day, with prices holding about steady. Late strength in corn" with a recovery at St. Louis caused fair buying by pit trad ers during the last half hour, and the early loss was all regained. December closing %c higher, at 8074 c. Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to 329,600 bushels. Primary receipts were 1.389.700 bushels, against 1.425.200 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis and Du luth reported receipts of 770 cars, which with local receipts of 91 cars, none of contract grade, made total receipts for the three points of 861 cars, against 679 cars last week and 764 cars a year ago. The early strength In wheat caused 8 firm tone in corn at the opening, but later with the decline in wheat, there was considerable corn for sale and prices eased off. Predictions of a break in the present excellent weather conditions and reports of a good cash business were strengthen ing influences late in the day and caused a recovery of the early loss. After selling between 43%'5> 43% c and 44%<f(44%e. De cember closed at 44%e. a gain of %@%c. Local receipts were 302 cars, with 29 of contract grade. Oats were influenced mainly by the ac tion of wheat and coin, showing some de cline early in the session and later rally ing and closing at a small gain. Trading; was quift and featureless. December closed %c higher at 36Vic. ranging be tween 35"aft 136^i'. Local receipts were 130 cars. Provisions trade was extremely dull, "but inclined to firmness considering the (decided weakness in hogs reported from the yards. Buying by packers was the ■chief ;?ourcc of support. Closing prices were firm, with January pork up 10C at '$12.10, January lard a shade higher at $6.65f?j 6.67%, and ribs 5c higher at 502%. i Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 100 cars; corn, 375 cars; oats, 225 ■cars; hogs. 24,000 head.

Fine weather, easy cables, larger Minneapolis receipts and an unsettled state of affairs in St. Louis were depressing features. There was much of a nature to weaken prices, yet the market went down by small declines and reacted on any little buying. One reason for this was that while the news was bearish some of it was superficially bear ish only, and not so decidedly depressing upon careful analysis. Receipts, 597 cars. Reports of export business and of sales of cash wheat to millers began coming In after noon, and the market reacted and closed firm. Twelve loads of wheat and 200.000 bu of corn were reported taken.
