MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
Chicago ’Change.
Chicago, Nov. 18.—Wheat ended worse
Shan it begun today. The topic of discussion
n the morning was a marked falling off in
northwestern receipts, both as compared
[with a week ago and with a year ago. The
hbulls professed gTeat gratification over the
■natter, claiming that the rush of wheat to
knarket in that section was subsided, wdiere
Jls on the other hand the bears found vari
ous reasons for what they thought was but
k temporary break in the movement. A
plight appreciation in prices came about
through this question, but the market went
fto pieces before the close on selling by a
local professional trader, who inadvisedly
covered his short wheat early and went
*‘long" in the expectation that greater re
sults in. the way of an advance would take
■dace. December wheat opened from 57% to
t7V6c, sold between and 67V&C, clos
ing at the latter, c under Saturday.
Cash wheat was steady.
f The session was tiresome in corn. No new
br important feature developed and prices
Changed only to agree with the strength or
weakness or wheat and with no wide or
frapld fluctuations occurring. May com
opened at 29%c, sold between 29% and 29*4c,
gi29%c, a shade under Saturday. Cash corn
was steady and unchanged.
Oats—The lifeless and inert feeling still
prevailed in oats. Prices were for the most
part unchanged and no disposition to do
business was noticeable. May oats closed
unchanged from Saturday. Cash oats were
quiet without change> Some grades
brought a trifle more than on Saturday and
others a fraction less. _
Provisions sank in value today. The de
cline was caused by a loss in prices of hogs
at the yards. If there was any Increase in
the amount of business in products today It
was not apparent in the pit. A general com
plaint of the inactivity and dullness was
still heard. At the close January pork was
7WT/i0c less than Saturday. January lard 5c
lower and January ribs 5c lower.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

In Wall Street.
New York. Nov. 18.—The general run of
- *mz after an Irregular open*
ing became Btrong and higher, on purchases
by the trading element, which felt encour
aged by the splendid showing made by the
St. Taul for the second week of November,
an increase of J28S.loD having been reported
In gross earnings; tha absence of disquiet
ing news of the foreign financial enterests
and the fact that no gold will be forwarded
by tomorrow's European steamer. In the
first hour prices advanced li 1 % per cent on
the buying. Manhattan, the grangers, bu
gar. General Electric and Chicago Gas lead
ing. Sugar first fell to 99%, but soon ad
vanced to 10H4, the reduction In the price of
certain grades of refined having fallen flat,
I-atcr on London houses sold fully 16,000
shares of Heading, 8t. Paul and Louisville
and Nashville, which encouraged the local
bears to make attacks on Manhattan, -lo
bacco and Western Union. Reading was the
first to yield and fell % to 9'4. The reorgan
ization plan, which will bo given out this
week, provides, it is said, for a 20 per cent
assessment on all the securities below the
general four’s. These present incomes are
to receive new preferred stock, but the
stockholders will get nothing for the cash
put up. Some of the large houses are talk
ing of fighting tho plan unless the stock re
ceives some consideration. Manhattan rose
1% and broke to 98%<8>99. Long stock came
out on the way down, the announcement
that the Metropolitan Traction was consid
ering a system of under ground trollies lor
its new lines having frightened timid hold
ers. Tobacco dropped from 88% to 85*,4, with
a subsequent rally to 8G%. St. Louis houses
were the heaviest sellers at the decline.
Western Union was the weak feature in the
late trading, falling 20 to 88% on Judge Har
lan’s decision, which holds that Union Paci
fic bad no right to make a lease practically
giving the Western Union a monopoly of the
telegraph business of the road. The early
gains In the general list were lost in the
afternoon when reports were freely circu
lated that at least $2,000,000 gold will be for
warded to Europe this week. One commis
sion house, It was said, has sold cables
against $1,000,000 gold and another banking
firm, so rumor had it, will have to ship about
as much either by Wednesday or Thursday s
steamer. No actual engagements have been
made as yet, but with cables at $1.89%, the
closing price tonight. It is tolerable certain
that exports will be made. The street is
taking the matter calmly, however, the be
lief prevails that some sort of an under
standing has been arrived at by the powers
that be and local banking interests to re
plenish the treasury reserve when the
proper time arrives. The market closed
weak, the active issues showing net losses
of V£/<i2 per cent for the day. Chicago, Bur
lington and Quincy and Sugar gained %
each and Leather preferred 1 per cent. Chi
cago, Burlington and Quincy’s exceptional
Strength was ascribed to buying by one of
the now speculative combinations. The
total sales were 201,984 shares, of which &>,
300 shares were Tobacco, 24,200 Sugar, 23,<00
Reading, 19,000 Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy and 18,700 Manhattan.
The bond market was active; sales footed
up $955,000.

Cotton Letter.
New York, Nov. 18.—(Special.)—Liverpool
sent us a more favorable report this morn
ing and our opening was at an advance of
about 12 points. January selling on the call
at 8.30, but the course of the market vindi
cated the wisdom of the traders who took
their profits at the advance. The market
gradually sagged, simply owing to the ab
sence of buyers, until January had sold at
8.15. The close was steady with January at
8.16'y8.17. There were no unfavorable de
velopments and the slump seemed to have
no other pretext than that the south was
offering spots very freely. We feel bullish
at the decline and hope to see higher prices
within the next day or two, but It still seems
the best policy to sell on every good rally.
Sun’s Cotton Review.
New York, Nov. 18.—The Sun’s cotton re
view says; Cotton rose 12 to 14 points, then
reacted and declined In some cases 1 point
below the last previous prices; then there
was a rally which loft prices 1 to 2 points
higher than Saturday's closing quotation,
with the tone steady and sales 236,000 bales.

. The southern spot markets were generally
unchanged. . „ ,
Today's features: It was a day of sharp
contrast In the markets—first there was a
good deal of strength and later considerable
weakness. The early strength was due to
an active rising the Liverpool market, the
Manchester advances, comparatively lighter
receipts at most southern points, some Liv
erpool buying and considerable local cov
ering. The latter weakness was due to un
expectedly largo receipts at the ports a
comparatively larger estimate for both New
Orleans and Houston tomorrow, some re
action ill Liverpool, more or less depression
In southern markets and a good deal of local
and southern liquidation. There was a lack
of buying power. The selling power was
greater than the buying power. Yet, after
all, the market was practically a draw.

Cry Goods.
TTew York. Nov. 19.—The week opens with
no break In the monotony of the dry goods
market, so far as staples and seasonable
cotton fabrics are concerned. In the former
leading makes show a steady range of
prices, but there Is no disguising the fact
that outside of these the tone of the market
show some Irregularity in prices. Some
southern manufacturers, even while ex
pressing belief in an ultimate 10 cent cotton
market, have slackened their restrictions
over agents' actions and are willing to do
business on rather easier terms than earlier
In the month. Seasonable cotton dress fab
rics are dull, but the market is generally so
well cleaned that prices are not affected by
the indifferent current demand. On the
other band tbe demand for such spring lines
as a rule to buyers is on a liberal scale and
the prices show general firmness.
