WAR CLOUDS DO NOT MAR
SPECULATIVE ENTHUSIASM.
MARKET ABSOEBS HEAVY
'- PE0ilT-TAE3NG.
London Tarns Seller, but Ameri
can Demand Sustains Prices
. at Same Level.
t-Xew Torfc, Oct. JU. The tide of specu
satlre enthusiasm proved Itself sufficiently
strong In to-day's stock market to sweep
op the usual 'Monday morning: realizing
i sad to tripe out the sentimental ef-
, feet of the Anglo-Russian friction growing
lout of the damage by the Russian Cect to
be North Sea flshinc- fleet.
This Incident.- besides the sentimental
effect of tha fears of resulting hostilities.
had a substantial result Jn the outpouring
here of large offerings of stocks for Lon
don account. The weight of this selling
was somewhat aggravated by the Inviting
level of prices maintained by the support
ing tactics at the opening here, which of
fered such a. orofit on arhltratra with the
depressed London price level that the ca
.bles were kept busy with orders to sell
pere against purchases in .London.
3EM0NSTRATI0N OF STRENGTH.
t was accepted as o. decisive demonstra-
pf the- strength of the speculative po
ll here and the power of the- Interests
ortlng the market that the Monday
tine movement to take croflts could
deferred until the sustaining measures
lainst the- foreign 'depression could be
made effective, it was on the reaction
I from the rally bv sunrjortlng orders that
' the profit-taking sales were most formida
ble and most urgent, and tbeyproved suf
ficiently heavy to affect the whole market
and to cause rather striking breaches In
the-price level at different points.
After this again the shift of the specu
lative demand back to the Pacifies and
the substantial advance of the general lev
el of prices served to confirm the -speculative
confidence In tho Inflowing tide of the
demand for stocks. That the Anglo-Russian
Incident did not break the demand
went far to reassure speculative sentiment
that the market was not yet in that vul
nerable position which Inevitably results
Irotn the Inflation of a prolonged specula
tion, and the resulting' Instability leading
to -a toppling over of values.
RUMORS OF DEALS.
.- The dominant Influence In the specula
tion was the credit given to stories of
deals as a consequence of the Ontario and
Western -Incident. That stock, made
flights to new high levels on the sur
mises regarding the terms of its transfer
to .New .Haven. The movement In
various low-pncea railroad stocks was
plainly based on the supposition that, the
Sn.TiM.i and railroad usurers were com
mitted to a working out. of Interchange of
1 and the aosorpuon or minor rau
cven at prices considerably above
markat. a the same 'considerations
that -prompted the Burlington purchase

TKe persistent heaviness or the United

The. sharp recovery In foreign exchange
Was attributed to the stormy political out
look abroad, but was emphasized by the
large sales of stocks here for London ac

FEAR OF RUSSO-ENGLISH WAR
STIRS -UP THE WHEAT MARKET
Buying to- Cover Shorts Sends
Trice Up 3-Jc for the Day on
All Deliveries.
REPUBLIC SPECI I
Chicago, Oct. IL Feajs of the possibil
ity of war betviicii nutU and England,
as the result of the firing by the Baltic
fleet upon English fishing schooners,
stirred up the v. heat market and kept It
excited and strong through tho session.
Memories of tho sharp advance In prices
early In tho jear on v.ar scares were all
that wero needed to mako shorts uneasy
and anxious buyers.
It was an interesting and radical re
verse of circumstances that the heaviest
buying, about 2.000,000 hu., taken through
commission houses, and therefore under
cover. wa3 for Armour, who was long a
big line of Slay wheat last January, and
profited most by the outbreak of war and
the consequent stampede of the . shorts.
There was also open Armour hujing of
perhaps 503,000 bu. Dec.
This buying to cocr shorts mi tlie
main influence in openinc; the market
strong at advances of 'Ic to. ;ic. putting
up prices lUc at best, ijnd closing them -Uc
lusher for the day. Dec. at S1.I0TS sell
ers, and Jlay at Jl.HK seller. While
shorts wero alarmed longs evidently be
lieved there was little danger of war and
grabbed their prolits.
ST. LOUIS HULL BUYING.
Tho St. Louis bulls helped start the mar
ket oing, Spencer's house taking iSJ.OOO
bu. at the 'opening, but on all the bulges
around 51.15 for May lt was a free sell
er, letting go probably 750.000 bu. There
was also liberal selling by Cudahv brokers
and Patti-n's house, and in the last hour
Pringle had a big selling order. Updike
Grain Company sold 250,000 bu. Slay as a
hedge, against cash wheat in Nebraska,
which lias been carried some time with
out hedging. This selling was because of
a poorer demand for hard winter wheat
in cash markets.
There was more or less local selling on
the comparative gain in the visible sup--ply,
now 2,717.00!) bu. larger than the to
tal a year ago. Southeastern and Ohio
millers were reported well stocked with
wheat and flour, with tho flour demand
poor. The local flour demand was dull.
Cash wheat inclined to drag, choice grades
hardly following the extreme advance,
and poor grades weak. Sales about Ij.CtO
bu.
The Northwest market led the advance,
affected by the falling off in receipts and
by rains in Western Dakota, which threat
ened delay to the movement. Slinneapolis
was up 2c to 2c at the opening. St. Louis
sent reports of damage by Hessian fly
In the Sllssourl fields, but the relative
weakness of that market kept them from
having much effect.
CORN GAINS.
Corn did not share the excitement of the
wheat pit. but was Influenced thereby to
the extent of making moderate gains of
ric for Dec. to 4S)je. and of Uc for Slay,
which closed at 4S8c. The speculate e
trade was dull and local shorts inclined to
cover on tho wheat strength and continued
refusal of the country to sell new corn for
future shipment on the present basis of
prices here. There were a few disappoint
ing husking returns from this State and
Iowa. Adtices from Ohio said 25 per cent
of the husking had been done in that
State. Receipts were light, 101 cars in and
107 estimated for to-morrow. Cash prices
steady to He, higher; demand 'fair, shippers
taking S0.CO0 bu. No. 2 com 'out of store at
SSc over May. Total sales wero about
150.0CO bu.
OATS SIARKET NARROW.
tOats covered the narrow range of U"-c
and closed about Ho hlgher-for the day at'
31c sellers for Slay, the top price. The
strength in other pits was the main in
fluence, the trade dull. Commission houses
bought nnd cash houses eoU1.' Country ac
ceptances continue light. Receipts were
ifi? m nmi 1U. pstlmated for-to-morrow.
Cash prices wero steady' to He lower.
Shipping sales 200.000 bu. -
Provisions ruled higher early, in sym
pathy with an advance of oglOc in hogs
and on buying by the Cudahy Packing
Company and 'local traders, but near the
close the latter sold out and the list closed
about -unchanged. '

BT ASSOCIATED;rRESa
Chicago, Oct. 21. Possibility of war be
tween Great Britain nnd Russia had con
siderable influence In causing a strong
wheat market hero to-day. Continued
actlvo millln;r demand was a factor of al
most equal Importance. At the close both
Dec and May wheat wero up ic. Corn
shows a gain of 'iflbe. Oats are a bhada
h'gher. Provisions ore unchanged.
WHEAT.
Shorts were active bidders for both the
Dec. and Slay options when trading be
gan In the wheat pit. As a, result of the
urgent demand Initial quotations showed
:t material advance. Slav being up -ic to
vtc at 11.14 to $1.14U. Dec. was a shade
lor.cr to -Si'S'-ic higher at $1.13 to Sl-15?i-
The anxietj- of shorts was due to a va
riety of reasons. In Addition to the con
tinuous bullish cash situation anil possible
world-wide complications resilting from
the Russian Baltic fleet Incident. Im
portant factors were decreases both In
Northwestern receipts and In' the world's
shipments. Tin fact that fcrt 'gn grain
markets showed gains had i-lmsidcrabic
effect on the market h-re. At the start
quotations were light, but prices roe rap
idly. Dee. quickly selling up to 1.15 and
Slay to $1.15-5,
Rpalizlng sales checked the advance and
loaded the market with rough iwlieat to
cause a temporary loss of the crAater part
of tho early improvement. The market
soon recovered from the setback, however,
as a result of active support from a lead
er of tho bull crowd. A sharp advance
took place. Tne Southwest furnished an
additional volume of bullish net:-, com
plaints from SIi3souri regarding damage
bv Hessian flv'beinjr quite numerous.
The high point on Dec. for the day was
reached at ll.li-s. Slay again sold up to
$1.151,. Some realizing de eloped late in
the session, but the rrnrket closed strong,
with Dec at $1.15-4. Tinal quotations on
Slay were at $1.14.
Clearances of.whcat and flour were equal
to 22,000 bu. The amount on passage de
creased 1,-iOS.OOO bu.. while th- visible sup
ply increased 1.238.000 bu. Primary re
ceipts wero 1.352.400 bu.. compared with
1,357,100 bu. a year ago. Slinneapolis. Du
luth and Chicago reported receipts of S53
cars, against 1.067 cars last week and 1.0J)
cars a year ago.
CORN.
Strength of wheat held the corn market
firm, notwithstanding favorable weather
for the maturing of tho crop. Trading was
quiet, the greater part of the business be
ing of a scalping character. Dec opened
HffiUc to Mg-'ic higher, at SVc to 4i-,c.
sold between 4S'Jo and 43Kc nd closed at
4S"ic Local receipts were 101 cars, with
4 of contract grade. (
OATS.
Tinder the Influence of the strength of
other grains the oats market held steady
In splta of considerable selling by cash
houses. Trading was almost entirely lo
cal. After opening Uc higher at 23c, Dec
ranged between 2SsJ2Sc and 2Sc and

SUMMARYOFST.
Trading In grain futures in the local market was extremely light until near tha
close of tlie session, when early gains were wiped out by buying in line -with an ad
vance in other domestic markets. At the opening the rank and file of operators seemed
inclined to follow the legitimate bearish trend of the legitimate news rather than to
follow a rather far-fetched scare based on the sinking of English fishing vessels by
tho Russians. Every effort was made to work this Incident as a bullish factor, but it
was not very effective against good receipts, favorable weather and a falling off in tho
casii and export demand. Selling was brisk unlit around the noon hour, when there
wero private wire reports that Armour was covering a. short line and that other pro
fessionals were active on the buying side In Chicago and Minneapolis. Late foreign
news was tinctured with Jingoism, and. all together, the market appeared to be open to
the attack of a certain coterie of professionals who had been taking liberties on tha
bears' side for set eral days.
Heavy receipts and favorablo weather weakened the corn market at tho opening.
Toward the end of the session tho market showed a slightly better feeling In line with
wheat.
Dec wheat opened ajc off and closed Uc up.
Dec corn opened tic off and closed unchanged.
Slay oats closed He up.
Receipts of produce were modcrato and prices of fruits and vegetables were gen
erally steady.
Local securities opened strong, but showed a tendency to case off toward the closej
Yesterday's bank clearings were $12,00.!,5, balances J1,2W,535. Discount rates wera
steady, between 4VJ and 6 per ctnt.
Spot cotton was steady in the local market-
