'i ml mJry FIRMER FOREIGNH EKTMff lk EXPORT ? SUES These Two Important Factors Sus V tain Wheat and All Options - \ Close Firm. Receipts Somewhat largerBetter Weather, and Other Domestic? News Bearish. Twenty-two Loads Sold at the Sea- boardVisible Increase Very Small. Minneapolis Chamber of Commerce, Oct. 26.Higher foreign markets helped wheat at the start this morning, and after that the reports from exporting markets began running favorable, and, with strength in St. Louis as a further help, all grain markets Were strong. December, in the local market, was 80%@S03ic at first, but 80%c was touched on later weakness. May wheat sold early at 78%@78%c and 79c later, but declines were hard to force, altho there was considerable of bearish import in both the domestic and foreign news. Russia cut in heavily again with 6.456,000 bu, against American shipments of 4,265,000. The Danube shipped 1,688,- 000 bu Argentine, 344,000, and India, 488,- 000, while Australia came along with 120,- 000. The quantity on passage at 30,784,000 bu decreased 948,000 bu. Minneapolis ele vator stocks decreased 100,000 bu so far on the new week. Duluth sent down word that offers of Saturday to both thi United Kingdom and Germany had been accepted and that a good business was done in Minneapolis received 818 cars, against 840 Duluth, 194, against 400, and Chicago, 70, against 130. St. Louis had only 99,- 000 bu, against 311.000, and Kansas City 103,000 bu, against 188,000. The visible supply, with an increase of only 189,000 bu, now 22,704,000 bu. The Harris-Gates weekly wheat situa tion analysis, which is even more bear ish than formerly, says that evidently the lessons taught bv the recent enormous declines in lard and in corn have been lost on wheat traders. I t would seem that the losses incurred in maintaining an unnatural level in each of these im portant products should, at least for a time, deter others from following a sim ilar course. Leaving out the hazardous possViHty -of war between Russia and Japan, there can hardly be found a trad er, however bullish he may be, who seri ously believes that the present excel lent milling demand will continue thru j the winter, or that this country is yet in position to act independently of for eign buyers. Without a continuation of the present demand, it is more than pos sible that even the present light supply of contract grade wheat will be ample. If this demand should slacken it would certainly require a sharp slump in the price to check the offerings. The supply would then be more than ample. I t is the province of the successful speculator to anticipate. War markets are usually the best ones to sell on. With the chances even as to war or no war, the seller still has the advantage of a high mar ket, and in most cases it is not prudent to buy on an advance. Taking the price record of all foodstuffs for the last year we And wheat one of the last to adjust itself to the more bountiful crop level. First cattle, then hogs, then corn came down from the high level to which short production and boom times had sent tlvm. I t is possible, nevertheless, that large profits are to be made by buying wheat now and waiting for a declaration of 'war somewhere, but for our own cus tomers we advise letting others make them. W e believe it is best, m a Com mercial transaction, to stay a little near er the earth. I t is highly probable that there will be no sudden or extended de clines or advances. I t will take some little time to bring stocks of contract 'grades up to a burdensome total and meanwhile there will probably "be good fighting fnarkets where an alert trader can secure profits of say 2c to 3 c per 'bushel on either side. W e should cer tainly not advise the trader starting with a purchase around current figures. .*& k i_f Primary receipts were 1,367,000 bushels against 1,875,000. and shipments were 462,- 000 against 755,000. Twenty-two loads were reported sold at the seaboard. December closed at 80%c and May at 79%@79%c. The most active trade in some time was witnessed in the cash market, where of ferings were large and sales heavy. No. 1 northern sold from 83c to 82c, and No. 2 northern from 80c to 81c, the average being 80%c to 80%c. Low grades moved well, but prices showed a very wide range in every grade. THE FLOUR MARKET ADVANCE IN PATENTSDEMAND IS HE PORTED VERY GOOD. Prices were advanced 10c a barrel this morn ing on patents on the good demand that opened the new week. Clears are quoted unchanged but aie firm at the figures. Buyers were reported to have shown a general renewal of interest and home inquiry from abroad was received as well as |ooddemoctic inquiry. ^The prospect is better lemand this wee than last. sg.8f^,E5k & t i i : K, 1 Fee d grades closed at 38@45c malting grades 7 no grade, 21. . _ / W- at 45fe56c.

Amalgamated resumed its conspicuous po sition of last week in the dealings, and on a steady accumulation, of stock touched 36%, a rise of 1%. The standard stocks were in good, demand, particularly the grain-carrying roads, St. Paul and the Pacifies gaining a point or more and North-Western 2. Reading, Louisville & Nashville, Steel preferred, Sugar, Amer ican Car preferred, Smelting and People's Gas also advanced a point or more. Prices rose further in the second hour, bringing the active stocks generally, in cluding the industrials, into the range of 1* point gains. Amalgamated rose an ex treme 2%, and Car preferred, Reading preferred, Chicago Union Traction, Met ropolitan Street Railway, General Electric and New York Central, 1% to 2. Ann Arbor preferred declined 3 and Railway Steel Spring 2%. The demand had sub sided at noon, but prices held very well. The diminution of fhe volume of pur chasing orders induced some realizing, but this selling produced little effect on prices in the market, which hardened when Amalgamated, St. Paul and Union Pacific were marked up to the highest. General Electric advanced 3 and Westinghouse 3%. General Chemical preferred declined 4. But little interest was displayed in the early afternoon trading and the market was easier, rather more from inanition than from any pressure of offerings. Amalgamated fell back a large fraction, but the other active stocks were not ap preciably changed. Wide fluctuations were more frequent among less active stocks. Chicago Union Traction, preferred advanced 3 and New York, Chicago & St. Louis second preferred 5 points. The market hardened again later.' Bonds were steady at noon. In the last upward movement, Amal gamted rose an extreme 2%, and United States Steel preferred 1% St. Louis Southwestern preferred, St. Louis & San Francisco second preferred, Minneapolis & St. Louis, and Grass Twine, 1% Met ropolitan Street Railway, 3, and Lack awanna, 2. The demand again declined to nominal proportions and prices receded. Canadian Pacific, Sugar and People's Gas reacted a point, and Amalgamated a large fraction from th& highest.
