Yesterday's train market -was a striking confirmation of the suspected tendency of Europeans to plao a tentative boycott on American products whenever tlio shadow of of a pretext presents Itself. When the American has 'money to spend across the pond lie is weJoomed with open and sometimes Itching hands. When he has something to all ft Is different. Consumers on the other side of the water look first to the Euro pean train producing countries for their supply of breadstuffs. Next they turn to the Argentine. If the great South. American Republic cannot fill the demand they per force purchase from the farmers of the United States. It Is a case of shrug their shoulders and take their medicine or go hungry through a long, hard winter. That was the strongest factor In the com market yesterday. Wheat advanced Sn sympathy with the so-called coarse grain which makes flno bread when there is nothing finer to bo had. Sales were based on reports of unusually light Argentine shipments of corn. Aside from the report of the Missouri State Board of Agriculture there was no other bullish indication. Under ordinary circumstances the estimate of the Cincin nati Price-Current would have been accepted as distinctly bearish. Dec corn opened .unchanged and closed l?alc up. May opened 14 c up nml closed with an advance of 1H51&C. Dec. wheat opened unchanged from Wednesday's closing; bid and closed Sic up. There was no trading In the May option. Sept. cats gained 4c and May Hc onreported buying for export account Dullness was the feature of the local produce market. Peaches were plentiful and In fair demand at slightly lower prices. Apples were still on quality. Fears, plums and other fruits remained practically unchanged. Vegetables were still scarce, with a good buying demand, but the greater portion of the receipts would not pass mus iti. There was little cabbage In sight, and prices ruled much stronger en this com modity. " On the local stock exchange the volume of trading was light. Some of Wednea doy's losses were regained, and there was still a fair inquiry for bank and trust company stocks. Money was firm, under the Impetus of a continued good demand. Discounts ranged from fii to 7 per cent, with the bulk of the transactions between 5 and 6 per cent. THE GRAIN MARKETS VERY MUCH STRONGER. tWHEAI and corn were in A BULLISH HUMOR. . News Generally Tvorable for Higher Prices, Baying Better " and All MarketB Higher. The different grain markets yesterday .were In a -very bullish humor, and a right strong upturn In values took place, the gen eral close being at a good . advance. The .reeling early In wheat was that a change for the better was due, and it was strength ened by the character of the early advices ' "and' conditions of a bullish nature. Fore most among these was the unmistakable sjrtngth shown by corn. Then local re ' clpta were smaller, and a very large per- ''centage cf the arrivals went through to -Ike'seaboard. In the Northwest they were again large, -but the reported heavy rains there were expected to check shipments in the future. Liverpool was Hd higher, but Paris was -&c lower, while the local stocks showed a decrease of nearly JO.O-iO bu., caused by the heavy shipments to . .Bonthern mills. There was some diiposi- Ttlon. shown t6 sell at the outset, but the offerings were well taken care of, and Dec. "iafter opening at 72c, aold up to 7ZJ6c and back "to 72c the first half hour, while for 'May 7Ho was bid. The feeling continued to grow more and more friendly to this grain, and particularly after the sharp up turn" -In corn. Continental cables were of Jielp'to the bulls, as Paris advanced and closed c higher for the dajv Berlin was up He, and Buda-Pesth Uc. but Antwerp was unchanged. Both Liverpool and 'London .closed unchanged, the former losing its early 'advance and the day's clearances wcro'small at 4K.0M"bu. flour and wheat. Before the hour of noon Dec sold' at 72?ic and for . Hay.Tfo was bid. wheat howed its greatest strength dur ing the closing hours of the day. when shorts commenced, to cover freely and the longs bought, so urgent was the demand ,-from both these sources that there was a good advance, and Dec sold at TTHc, at .-which It closed sellers. At .close 76c was bid for May, and Sept. was quoted nomlnl- ,iyat 70Hc A very good export business was reported, during the day, and quite a .line. of bard winter was said to have been worked, but the business was more or lesi .restricted by their Inability to get all the. .wncat wanuo. Corn yesterday was In a better and stronger position than1 it has been for some time past and it was nearly-all on account of the. reported improvement of 6 potato In the- Missouri crop during August, and tho . Illinois state report maxing me conamon 41 or a point below that of August. These itwowere sufficient to arouse considerable -bullish enthusiasm, especially aa they wero Aronowed- by- the Chicago Trade Bulletin re " port on the general average There xias alro some prospects tor frost In the Korth "west, and a confirmation of large cash sales r at Chicago and the seaboard, together with light" receipts. Opposed to these were Liv erpool cables, 'which reported that market CafrJoslng Its early advance of Ud, and the 'statement of the Cincinnati Price Current ,tbat the promise for-a 1.4W,000.000 bu. crop was maintained. The Dec option opened the same as it doted the day before at E7c, "but quickly sold up to Uc,- nnd .then .fell back to GToT,c sellers. May sold .tMric higher at eDHc and for Sept- SoV-c -?was bid. After the publication of tho 1111 'r.ols Teport' there was a further advance and 'Dec. went up with a rush to 59c and Hay to ale. but when the buying let up Uie - former went off to S3&C but rallied again to.S)i.c -May selling at 605ic and Sept. feavintr HKc" bid and no sellers. Clearances for tho day were only 21.000 bu. Liverpool rrloaed Ud tower, and London Ud hlclier. T'Tost was dominant late in the day and had j . -OBsssocxmoie uxnuence upun uie marKCL- iiy causing aborts to cover. This gave strength , to r the situation and Dec advanced and .dosed at lrSc higher for the day at Z8V, r sola nt ii4(3iBC an.t or the dav at that sell- . closed 2tc higher at E7Uc Di-yers.

The session of the local Stock Exchange testerdav was one.of the least eatlsfactory that have been experienced for a long: time and In a number of ways was a great dis appointment to brokers and others interest ed. There were hard-and soft spots, but no real life or activity to speak of, and the dealings were noticeably light, particularly when compared with the record of previous days of the past week or two. the aegre gate saleg amounting to only iV shares and no bonds, though the demand for the latter v.as quit; good. There were more stocks neglected yesterday than has been 1 the case fof some time, and those attracting the most attention were, as heretofore, bank, and trust stocks, some of which were strons and higher, but they were the exception, and other!" weaker and lower. On or -.ho strongs among the latter was Missouri. Early in the week a tip was in circulation that this stock was a good purchase and due for a rise. This tip has been responded to by some very good buying orders, and an advance of over .50 per share has taken place since tho opening. day of ;h week. There was a good strong demand ycterdav and prices worked up S3 per share to J107.50 buyers and J108.5O asked, but there were no sale?. The most active siu.-i. was Lincoln, which was In demand and very much stronger, sales of 130 shares. Sid and new. being made at 277. ssra.50 and J27J, or from Jl to S3 higher for the day, the close being J2.50 higher at J27S.W bid and fc-W asked.
