' English visible wheat decrease 231000 against increase of 872,000 bu last year ' Chicago to Lewis—Notwithstanding the large primary receipts, wheat visible- only increased 100,000 more than last year. This ie worthy of notice. Broomhall cabled: Our Argentine repre sentative cables that heavy general rains ha,ve fallen. These rains at this time are unde sirable, as the wheat harvest starts about the Ist of December. Verhoeff from —Second cables show further decline, making Liverpool half lower. Rains quite general. The market is steady, and I can see no special reason why it should show any marked improvement at present. Of course wheat, as compared with corn and oats, is considered cheap, and It is on that theory that speculators have been buying. Chicago to Whallon— great fight has been on all day in wheat. The bears seem to be in the majority. The foreigners bought at the opening, but turned sellers at the ad vance. The market must be called a strong one in the face of the news. There are signs of loosening up in December deals, which will make the market weaker. Wheat is no buy on the bulges, but may do to take on some on the breaks. INVESTMENT GOSSIP New York to Edwards, "Wood & Co.: The future of the - market depends upon attitude which will be assumed toward it at this level and under present conditions by general pub lic. it has clearly been found easier in the past month to put stocks up than to put them'down. New York to Watson: I find considerable diversity of opinion <ln regard to the future of stocks. Tie preponderance favors better prices. . There is, however, a large element which lß*very bearish on the theory that rail road earnings will show a big general decline after Jan. 1, and also that the president's po sition on the trusts situation In his message to congress will have an unsettling Influence. The. money element generally are bullish, though I am told the Standard Oil interest don't want an advance until the copper situa tion is cleared 1 up. "■ New York Produce.

' THE MINNEAPOLIS JOUKNAL. STOCKS ARE STRONG Market Shows Much Activity at the Opening. DECIDED TENDENCY IS LACKING Strength and WeakneNM Alternate, Prominent Stock* Beinif In ' clined to Droop. I New York, Nov. 11.—The market was active I and strong at the opening and there were , transfers of blocks of 1,000 to 4,000 shares of many leading stocks. Metropolitan street railway was lifted 1% on the purchase of 1 1,500 shares and 4,000 shares of United States Steel sold at 44% to 44%, compared with i"'/* .on Saturday. Atchlsou preferred rose nearly I a point on the sale of 1,000 shares and Pacific Mail was up iy a . The dealings were well distributed and only one or two stocks failed to share in the advance. There was an absence of any decided tend ency to the early dealings, strength and weakness alternating in different sections of the active market. In general the prominent stocks were inclined to yield on realizations and pressure against Amalgamated Copper. Metropolitan Street Railway lost its opening rise and Amalgamated fell below 86. Else where was conrident buying which-ad vanced American Car, American Locomotive and Wisconsin Central issues, Pressed Steel Car preferred, Chicago Terminal preferred, Republic Steel preferred, Tennessee Coal, Ge neral Electric, Virginia, Carolina Chemical, Distilling preferred, Brooklyn Union Gas, Rock Island, Hocking Valley, Chicago & East ern Illinois, Atchison preferred, St. Louis & San Francisco common and first preferred and Manhattan from 1 to 1 points. Amalgamated Copper and Metropolitan Street Railway later rallied a point and United Steel pre ferred rose nearly a point. Gains were in some cases materially ex tended by stocks which had risen in the first hour and in addition there was improvement of from 1 to 3 points in the Readings, Erics and Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville is sues and in Buffalo, Rochester & Pittsburg, Union Pacific preferred, the Denver & Rio Grande.Chicago & Alton,Kanawba & Michigan Hocking Valley preferred, St. Louis South western preferred, Chicago Great Western de bentures, lowa Central preferred, Su gar, Glucose preferred and Sloss Steel preferred. There was not much in terest manifested in the Grangers or Pacifies, but the Atehisons were bought heavily, lifting the common above them. Amalgamated, which had sold at 85% c, be came buoyant toward noon and touched 88%. The bulls bid up the Pacifies and St. Paul well above Saturday's close, the rise from the lowest reaching about a point in St. Paul and Union Pacific. This did not check the tendency to realize elsewhere, which cost a fraction in quotations generally. Northwest j gained 1 and the preferred I and Pullman I advanced 1%.. Rutland preferred lost 6% and Colorado Fuel IV2. Baltimore & Ohio rose ll^ and steadied the market. Sugar was taken in- hand and lifted 2% to 122%. Tennessee Coal gained 2% and Colo rado Fuel 2%. These movements were with out strengthening effect on the general mar ket, which was somewhat easier. Chicago & Eastern Illinois jumped 9 points to 140 and reacted 6. Union Pacific preferred was taken in large blocks and advanced 3%. The buying demand reverted to the trans continental stocks, and St. Paul, Union Pa cific and Southern Pacific rallied to the best j Advances over Saturday were made in Union j Pacific preferred of 4, Northern Pacific pre j ferred 2% and Great Northern preferred 2%. Profit taking continued elsewhere and some stocks not important in the day's trading fell back below Saturday's level. American Cotton Oil rose 1 and Ann Arbor preferred 3.
