SUMMARY OF THE DAY'S TRANSACTIONS IN THE MARKETS ■HEAT CONTINUES Market Heavy on Clearing Transactions—Stocks.Gen erally Stronger WHieat vras heavy until near the close yesterday nzia a net loss was registered t for the day. Stocks were more active and-: slightly higher. despite poor prospective bank What the Brokers Say M. Doran & Co.'s grain letter: Wheat —There was a continuance .of ex perience of past iew days r in the wheat pit. The market ruled weak till • latter part:, of the session., when covering by ; short 3 to even up over the two holidays brought about a - fair reaction. Prices early slipped off as -easily as they ad vanced on rust scare. Weakness in fu ture market is curtailing: milling- demand. in all: directions.. The cash situation, con- i sequently looks, much, less., bullish. uut. ; while premiums have, been reduced, cash I values are still over-the options. Weather continues very favorable for threshing. and for movement, in the. Northwest.,and. stocks at Minneapolis and Duhrth in creased, the past week nearly 2,000,000 bu, ■which is considerable in excess ot increase. for the same period a year ago. There -wras a downward" trend noticeable in ca- i !:ies. Liverpool closing'%@%d lower and j Paris lfijl^c lower. Estimated receipts, | tomorrow. 7sr cars. Corn —The trade increases with the de-! cline. The market- today was weak and. the only buying, seemed to coma, from: shorts, no one as yet caring to go long. The fact is there is still little incentive to do so. Holdings are by no means liquidated. The weight of selling, against increased offerings of new corn is be coming more and more burdensome and. there is no demand, to counteract, it al though several loads worked for export from seaboard on break. Generally speak ing, bids are still a long; way out of line. It seems probable this market will con tinue, to decline till prices reach*a point where foreigner is willing to buy freely.- Liverpool was lower at close. Esti mated rceipts. 2^2 cars. Oats—On the whole oats were- firm; de eiiuirur but fractionally, with the weakness In other cereals. Provision operators bought freely of May all day. Estimated receipts 220 cars. Provisions—The market was a shade lower all around with periods of excellent buying of lard by packing interests con spicuous on bull side. : mated hogs to morrow, 11.000. J. C. Geraghty v Co.'s New York ad vices: ..--I', Logan & Bryan—There is only a fair activity in the market today, but: the tone continues strong.. Tha average for the list Is again fractionally higher. The • lominant feature is. as heretofore, lack. ing. in offerings. There is nothing in the ! immediate situation and nothing so far | as we can see in the tendency of the fu tture to unsettle the confidence.of holders of stocks. Rates for money are likely to work a little higher- perhaps, but the situation is unusually easy for this season and low rates are "again likely at some little distance in the future. Stocks are not. hi^h and the dividend payers still present many attractive inducements; The expanding tendency of general business promise increased earnings for ail the properties and it is pretty certain that expectations of increased dividends and of dividends on; stocks where earnings are already near the dividend point will ob tain. We may get reactions. I but we fear they will.be unimportant-. Think stacks are still, a purchase. O'Connor & Van Rergen's. stock letters:: Nobody paid any attention to the:heavy loss of cash on the week's currency move ment. Tiae bank. statement does not in fact enter into the market calculations at present. The more so as the banks, themselves are encouraging the bull spec ulation by an. unlimited, supply of call and time money. Keech. Loew & Co.. who : are supposed to do- a good deal of First. i National bank business, were good, buyers of Reading. Active. , houses like Dick Bros, advanced Sugar without much, dif ficulty. Lower Wall street is not doing much at present, but the tone seems to be. bullish. The market was irregular today-at a generally higher level, but the volume of business was smaller and there was a lack, of snap on the rallies, which indi cated the- distribution of stocks at ad vances continues. In ,view of yesterdays heavy closing there were few stocks offer ing this morning and- the strength in ■Reading was a stimulating influence which led to repurchases by sellers of late for both ■ accounts. Frequent rallies and re actions occurred with final dealings on a decline and an unsettled tone. - Indica tions of an uniayorable^tiank statement tomorrow were of some influence on the : ODUCE AND WHEAT Ruling Prices at Yesterday's Meeting of the St. Paul Commission Men.

AS HAD j SEEN EXPECTED Bear* Suspect Friends of Higher Prices j Encouraged Short Selling Thursday I With a \t-ittw art Resultant Support ■ NEW YORK. fhe salient fact in today's st(fckr market was that prices did not go down, as many were led to ex- j pect by the action of the'late market yes- ; terday. There was a momentary irreg- i uiarity early today, but nothing like the I break that the bears had nicnired to i themselves as a result of a decisive down- I ward turn with its uncovering of stop- j loss orders and rush to make ororits. The I bear element had come to regard the mar- i ket as ton heavy and roady tCT crumble I away when the strong impetus of the up- i ward movement was lost. They became i suspicious this morning xhat the friends of higher dt "couraeed the short i selling yesterriav on account of the sup port which assured to the mar- j ket when the shorts werp cove«>d. The ! .« pressure on the maTket proved ( insignificant and the bears retreated and I covered their shorts. A fairly r-ompre- I hensive advance in prices followed. In the list of strong stocks wpr? 'ound I representatives of about all the principal : groups of stocks. The iram was moder«*Bj and volume of transaction. -ably below those nf yesterday, continued very oonspicuous in continua- | tion ot yesterday's advar.ee. There was | no traffic news to account for the move- I ment. The buyers preferred the vague j rumors of an equally dividend disburse- ) ment and. tne conversion of second pre ferred stock into half common and half preferred stock. The preferred stock 3 not active. There was very heavy buying of ore and Ontario & Western i up in sympathy. The only news i»viring on anthrnr-ite conditions was the j figures of production for September, showing a decline from that of last Sep tember, in which Heading fully shared.
