E. H. Prince's Grain Letter.
Chicago, Oct. 6.—Wheat—Altho dull
wheat developed a remarkably steady
undertone, and held its own well dur
ing moat of the morning, but it An
ally gave way and closed weak. Mis
cellaneous holdings of outside non
professional traders began selling,
possibly Influenced by the Northwest
ern Miller report of yesterday and the
accumulating evidences of a weak
cash market today. The weakness of
com did not affect wh.eat for a long
time, but the announcement of large
primary receipts and the break of 1%
cents in low grades of cash wheat at
Minneapolis did. Selling was fairly
heavy late in the day by private wire
houses, acting, presumably, on St.
Louts selling orders. There are no
export clearances of wheat and the
flour only equals 34,000 bushels wheat.
Output of the Minneapolis mills foi
the week was 322,000 barrel's against
131.000 a year ago. Argentine esti
mates shipment for the week at 60o,
000 bushels. Primary receipts were
1,193.000 bushels against 890.000 a year
ago. Seaboard sales were eight loads
of Manitoba wheat.
Corn—The corn has been very weak.
The big longs have buen slipping out
Of their hlodings as fast as posslblo
without creating a scarmble and gen
eral, detrioraliza'lon. Nobody seems to
want corn at the current figures, and
the large holders, or at least some of
them appear to he losing faith.
Weather is fine for curing there was
heavy frosts last night In northern II
Tinols and parts of Icwa and proti

RIVAL STEEL GIANT
Republic Iron and Steel Company
Raises a Seven Million Dollar Loan
in the West and Will Expand to
Fight United States Steel Co.
Chicago, Oct. 6.—The Republic Iron
and Steel Company officials have com
pleted negotiations by which the com
pany will be able to raise $7,000,000
cash to prosecute its expansion plans
and meet Its floating debt. The
amount will put the company in the
best of condition to extent its competi
tion with the United States Steel Cor
poration. It Is raising the funds thru
its friends in the west.
The First National bank and the
First Trust and Savings bank have ar
ranged to furnish the money. The
steel company will issue 810,000,000
first mortgage, 5 per oent bonds. It
also will issue two year and three year
notes to the extent of $7,000,000. These
notes have been taken by the institu
tions named, and they will have the
bonds as collateral security for the
notes.
Half of the notes, of $3,500,000, run
two years, and the other half three
years. They bear 5 per cent interest
and will be issued as funds as needed
by the company. The First National
bank made an official statement yes
terday, saying:
"A sufficient amount of these two
and three year notes has been sold al
ready to take care of the company's
floating indebtedness and to provide
for its present requirements. The bal
ance will be placed when and as tho
company requires the money. There
will be no public subscription. It has
not yet been determined whether the
bonds will be sold ultimately, or the
notes be liquidated from the earnings
of the company, which latter, with the
revival of the steel business, promise
to be large."
The Republic Iron and Steel Com
pany proposes to enlarge its business
and put itself in competition witiin
the United States Bteel Corporation
on new Unas.
The first.intimation of the company's
aggressiveness and ability to compete
with the United States Steel Corpora
tion, was when it oreated a sensation
In steel circles a few weeks ago by en
tering into a contract with the Pitts
burg Steel Company, to furnish the
latter with billets. The Pittsburg con
oern is the largest Individual consum
er of billets in the country. Its con
tract® had been with the Olalrton
Steel Company, wTilch was absorbed
by the United States Steel. The lat
ter was unaware of the Republic
company's ability to manufacture bil
lets in so large a quantity as required
by the Pittsburg company, and in con
sequence assumed there would be no
competition for the renewal of the
Pittsburg Steel Company contract.
But the Republio Igon and Steel Com
pany completed on July 1 an altogether
modern steel mill at Youngstown, O.
at a cost of nearly $3,000,000. To keep
this plant going it was found necessary
to seek business on a large scale, and
the contract with the Pittsburg Steel
Company was the result.
Now it is announced that these works
are to be enlarged in order to man
ufacture sheet and tinplate bars.
It also,has been reported that the
Republic would manufacture steel rails.
The loan which it has just negotiated
will enable it to carry out these plans.
As, the uoinpany Is the owner of large
ore bodies, it Is In a position to com
mand all the raw material necessary
and turn out finished products from Its
own resources.
The company w&a organized May,
1899, With a capital of $i0,40.0,900, pre
ferred, and $27,1&V000 common stock.
It began paying dfvddemls of 7 per cent
on Its preferred stock, but discontin
ued them In December, 1908. Mean
while Its earnings have gone for Im
proving the plant.

Bnyers Pay Ten Higher For
Choice While Poor Grades
Decline
HOGS LOSE YESTERDAY'S GAIN
The Large Receipts of Range Cattle
Come in Competition With All Poor
Grades—Hogs Still Sell High But
With the smaller run this week
salesmen have" naturally expected a
stronger market, and while the good
grades went at slightly higher prices
yesterday most sellers were disap
pointed in the slow and rather indif
ferent demand for the common and
medium steers. The export inquiry was
not particularly active, though buyers
took a fair volume of the good grades
and the New York demand was also
fairly broad, but most orders called
for good to choice steers, and there
was small competition among buyers
of the common medium beef lots.
The proportion of big heavy kinds
was again quite large, though demand
for this class ruled stronger than on
Monday, and while prices showed little
change, selling was effected with more
ease. Strictly prime kinds were scarce,
but more well finished steers arrived
than came on Motiday, though these
were still in small supply compared
with the liberal run of a week ago.
Hogs.
Hogs—There was a fairly active de
mand, but yesterday's 10c advance was
all lost, the bulk sales being at 6.75#
6.10.
Receipts of hogs continue light. The
quality yesterday, while considerably
better than Tuesday was far from being
good. Choice hogs were exceedingly
scarce.
For the 325 to 350-pound hogs of or
dinary quality there was little or no
competition. Smooth, fat heavy bar
rows mot with better Inquiry, but there
was no great amount of life In the
trade for even the choicest extra heavy
hogs. It took 325-pound sows to sell
at $5.80@'5.85.
"I tried them all ana could get only
one packer even to bid on some 330
pound sows at $5.80," said a salesman,
"and while they were plain and not fat
they looked pretty fair among the gen
eral run of hogs."
Big hogs to meet any competition at
all had to be fat and mostly smooth
barrows. The medium weight mixed
hogs that speculators could handle in
their business sold to best advantage.
Sheep.
Sheep—There was the usual active
general demand at steady prices.
Western ranger sheep were in strong
demand.
Feeding lambs were by no means
scarce yesterday. Another heavy run
of westerns got in and the proportion
of light lambs was much larger than
recently. About 90 per cent of the fresh
supply was of range origin, lambs pre
dominating. Good to choice killing
stuff sold steadily, but the feeding lamb
market was a big quarter lower than
last week. Receipts of this stuff have
been so heavy recently that buyers
who hot-footed the sheds last week
looking for $4.50 lambs were in bearish
mood. Top feeders were freely offered
at $4.50, sales running from that price
down to $4 for light stuff. Even at the
decline there was no urgent demand
early in the day. A goodly proportion
of the run was badly mixed, fat sheep
and lambs and thin stuff being heaped
promiscuously, hence the day was far
advanced before order was restored.
This mixed condition is seasonable,
however. Feeding sheeep were relative
ly scarce, and looked about steady, al
tho some sales were lower.

Chicago, Oct. 6.—Cattle—There was
a good demand today and prices were
steady for the bulk of offering with

Natives selling below 5c are the worst
sellers ns they arc depressed by the
large receipts of rangers. Most heavy
cattle find buyers at $6 and upwards.
Cows and heifers are doing better,
there being a good demand. Western

Kock Island Startles Business
World With Pnrchase of
Elevators
GRAIN MEN ARE ASTOUNDED
It is Rumored That Moore Brothers
Now Propose to Have Their RoatI
Buy Grain and Run Elevators AM
Over Their Line—Radical Departures
In Railroading.
Chicago, Oct. 6.—The purchase of
the Immense Counselman storage ele
vators by the Rock Island railway has
?lven rise to rumors that fairly as
tound the commercial world for the
boldness of the alleged plans. Th*
('ounselman elevators have a ca.pa.clty
of 4.500,000 bushels and cost, It Is said,
$1,000,000. It is believed that the Rock
Island would not buy them unless th*
management of the road Intended to
go into the grain business.
Tile road taps the best grain terri
tory In the United States northern
Missouri, all parts of Iowa, South Da
kota, Kansas, Illinois, and MlnnesoU.
It Is the greatest grain handling roa
in the world and the result of lt^
entrance into the grain scalping field
is awaited with interest.
According to the report, a company
has recently been Incorporated in It
tinols by the Rock Island railroad com
pany to handle the grain business.
While the Rock Island's name will
perhaps not be directly connected with
tho ownership of the elevators, still
the profits will go into the same coff
ers.
The deal is said to have been man
ipulated by the Moore Bros, and W.
B. Leeds, former president of the line.
The three are said to control the des
tinies of the road.
Owing to the Immense expense ac
cruing from the great purchases of
smaller lines and their consolidation in
one great system, the Rock Island
has paid small dividends since Moore
Bros, became identified with it.
Their Idea now is to enrich them*
selves by the double profits. They
are great manipulators of stocks, but
have kept free of the board of trade,
devoting their time to various railway
securities. Now it is said that 'W.
B. Leeds will play the board of trade,
using the great system of elevators for
emergencies.
With this backing, the Armour In
terests will be no comparison to him.
Grain men who dislike to sell their
business, fear the competition the ele
vators owned by the company may
subject them to, especially if the point,
has no other railway.
The project, If carried out, will be
one of the most stupendous of the kind
ever attempted, but nothing daunts
the Moore Bros., who have been the
most daring speculators and at tho
same time the most successful the
present world of finance has known.
MONEY FOR D. M. A FT. D.
Refunding of $3,000,000 of Bonds is
Made Possible.
New York, Oct. 6.—The Wall Street
Summary, a financial paper of high
standing, says it is understood that
plans have been practically perfected
for financing the acquisition of the
Des Moines & Fort Dodge Railway
Company. When the new interests as
sume control of January 1 next, they
will be required to assume a little more
than $3,000,000 bonds. It will probably
be found that the Minneapolis & St.
Louis Railroad Company will lease the
property for a short period at least,
and guarantee the principal and inter
est on the Des Moines honds.
The settlement of the $3,000,000 bond
ed indebtedness of the Des
Moines & Ft. Dodge has been a much
mooted question since the acquirement
of the control of the road by the Haw
ley Interests. The bonds are held by
the Rock Island and will fall due about
January 1, the date on which the Rock
island lease expires.
Nothing has transpired in the deal
recently. The Rock Island officials
have been notified to have everything
in readiness to turn the road to the M.
& St. L., January 1.
A noticeable feature regarding the
road is the fact that the common stock
has advanced bn the New York ex-
