The cash busi ness was also slow and both Northwestern and. primary receipts were considerably In creased. This brought an opening for Decem ber M&VtC lower at 70%c. Only the gaining strength in the corn pit prevented a decided slump in wheat, for though in the face of these bearish factors December sold up to 70%c later when dullness was more pronounced It sagged back quickly to 7H4c. The outside markets were doing very little business and December was the weaker future, ruling relatively %@V4c lower than May. Late In the day, there was a small reaction on export news and Decem ber closed- weak, Uc lower, at 70%@70 l Ac. Corn, was strong as the result of light re ceipts and firm cables, which frightened the short interest and Influenced buyers. Decem ber closed firm, 1 /4®%c higher, at 57>ic. December oats opened unchanged, fluctuated narrowly and closed steady, %c higher. Provisions were more active than at any time for a week. There was an early small demand which kept prices up despite a sagging hog market. Later everything turned dull and January pork closed unchanged, lard V-k higher. The loading futures ranged as follows: More Hay came In again, the receipts being 725 tons, including 33 cars. The market showed no change whatever. Cracked Corn and Corn Meal were lower again, and Bran was - marked down a dollar. Middlings were unchanged, but were weak in common with the other Feedstufts. .

Oct. 30.— The Commercial ' Ad vertiser's London financial cablegram says: Forced liquidation has apparently ceased and as a result the stock market had a more cheerful tone to-day. Opinion is much" divided as to whether the Bank of England will In crease the minimum discount rate to-morrow. Some say that.lt will be 3% per cent, others that it will be unchanged. American stocks are Improving and hopeful of an early set tlement of Northern Pacific affairs. The close was strons, with the coalers leading. • London Market. . At a meeting of the stockholders of the Pe troleum Center Oil Company, on the 29th, the following directors and officers were elected- Henry Van Bergen, president; W. Ellery, vice president; directors— Messrs. Hansen. Toplitz and Baldwin. The company reports the offer of $25,0CO for twenty acres of section 28-28-28 Well No. 3 on 24-28-27 yields 100 barrels dally, and well No. 4 has not been perforated yet. but gives promise of being quite as productive as No. 3. There is a balance of $4000 cash in the treasury, after all expenses have been paid. The only change on the Oil Exchange was an advance in Junction to 24c, under sales of 1800 shares. Hanford showed some activity at $104@ 103. The other stocks were quiet. The feeling in local stocks continued firm in the afternoon. Giant Powder advanced to $85 50, Spring Valley Water to $87 50 and Gas and Electric to $44 87%. Honokaa continued strons, selling at $12 12%. The Kern River Oil assessment of 50 cents per share, levied October 26, becomes delin quent on the Oil Exchange November 26, at the office of the company, November 28, with sales day December 17. At a meeting of the Oahu Sugar Company October 21, In Honolulu, the monthly dividend was reduced from $1 per month to 50 cents. It is said this action was taken on account of the excessive cost of preparing for the new crop and expenditures for labor. The stock is now quoted at $120. Although trading jras of moderate volume on the morning session oi* the Bond Exchange, the feeling was firm all along the line, and several stocks advanced, owing to the fine condition of the companies. Alaska Packers sold up to $147 50, quite a sharp rise, and further advances are reported not unlikely. It Is said that the Pacific Packing* and Navigation Company, which some months ago tried<to buy out all the salmon concerns on the coast, and which did succeed In getting most of them, with the prom inent exception of Alaska Packers, is about to reopen negotiations -with this company with the view to purchase, and that it is prepared to offer more Inducements than before. Again, the company has had a very prosperous year. An additional source of strength is the report that the Insiders have been quietly buying up stray lots of stock for some time. Under these flattering conditions an advance in the stock is only natural. . • Another stock to advance under fine conditions was Giant Powder, which sold up to $85. It will be remembered that a couple of weeks ago the stock advanced in consequence of a rise in the price of powder in what is called the neu tral zone, and now, another rise id contemplated in other sections. These appreciations in pow der naturally increase the Income of the com pany and give the shares an upward turn. California Wine was still another stock to rise, selling up to $90. The selling desire on the part of a director or two is said to be satis fied, especially as the stock has been absorbed as fast as offered. The sugar stocks were steady to firm, and Ho nokaa sold ud to $12. FLATTERING CONDITIONS LEAD TO SEV ERAL MARKED ADVANCES. STOCK MARKET.

The manipula tion was for the advance, but its effect was confined to the leading active stocks so far as any notable results were concerned. The gen eral list was slucgish and hesitating and fluc tuated narrowly throughout. The coalers, were taken in hand for an upward movement, the concerted buying of the group being based on the reports o£ very heavy demand and a traffic only limited by the car supply of the com panies, while prices are firmly maintained at the maximum of recent years. The high priced members of the group gained from 2% to 3 points and those selling under par rose about a point. St. Paul resumed its recent show of strength and was followed as usual by the Pacific stocks to the extent of between one and two points. There was another dem onstration in the Vanderbilts also to-day, but its influence did not extend very effectively outside of that group. Amalgamated Copper continued active and somewhat Irregular above yesterday's level on unconfirmed rumors cir culated of the possible incorporation of Calu met and Hecla. Manhattan and Sugar helped cut the show of strength. The determination to take a cheerful view of the gold export movement, which was increased to-day to a total of $2,850,000, was apparently based on the idea that the relief afforded to the foreign situation will be reflected back upon this mar ket. There is some assurance felt also that the movement will be checked after to-morrow's shipments. This feeling will be emphasised if the Bank of England maintains its discount rate unchanged to-morrow, as now seems pos sible. Judging from the freedom with which the bank discounted to-day at the current rate. The favorable subscriptions announced yester day for the New York City bonds are taken as reassuring regarding money market conditions and the release of November 1 disbursments, including .Government interest. Is" looked to to tide over next week. Some currency is return ing from the 'West and the transfers to the South have diminished. Receipts of gold from the Pacific Coast through the sub-treasury have served to lighten the drain of that in stitution jipon the money market. With sur plus reserves at a figure well above that of last year and a year before anxiety over the money market outlook tends to relax and the sentiment is expressed that the gold shipment can well be spared. After a very irregular movement the market, closed firm in the neigh borhood of the best prices. Railroad bonds were only moderately active and show irregular changes. Total sales, par value. ?2,660,C00. United States bonds were all unchanged on the last call. Wall Street and Trade. The New Tork circular of Henry Clews says: •The stock market Just now presents the in teresting though not unusual spectacle of mov ing in conflict with natural conditions and being entirely under the control of powerful and able manipulation. The Investor of or dinary prudence thinks that prices are still at a high level, and that the slight reaction from the boom of last spring, while it 'may not Justify any bear movement, \u25a0 is certainly not a bull argument. It should be borne in mind, however, that the present situation is a very unusual one and cannot be measured by usual standards. There has been reaction la certain sections and in certain industries from causes too familiar to call for repetition; on the other band there are sections of the country and particular industries which are JL^t feeling the full effect of the wave of pros perity; so that while it may be receding at some points it is still progressing at others, causing a confusion of results out of which It is not easy to form confident opinions. "The chief indications of recession have been in the smaller profits of the industrials, the losses here and there in our export trade and •:he damage to crops from drought. On the other hand the leading Industries continue exceeding ly active and old and new establishments are running to their full capacity. The enormous consumptive demand for products of all kinds surpasses the expectations of the most experi enced merchants and manufacturers and affords the most striking testimony of the soundness aind substantial chancier of the country's growth. This is esi^-ially true of iron and coal, the use of which is dependent upon the activity of other lines of industry- There are no signs of reaction in these markets, and it Is evident that slight concessions in values \u25a0"vould. brine out a new lot of orders that are being held back for Just such a contingency. The agricultural situation -is undoubtedly the most unfavorable factor observable, but 'the harm there 4s confined to spots and has many offsets, so that the injury will be much less than anticipated in July last. Farmers are treneraJly prosperous and out of debt and well tble to meet their losses. Briefly stated then the agricultural, industrial and commercial sit. nation, while not so brilliant as a year ago, is sound and satisfactory, and In these direc tions no very strong bear arguments can be found." Dried Fruit in New York Mail reports xrom New Tork say: "Weak ress in both raisins and prunes is marked and tuyers are nervous and busing very gingerly in the existing unsettled condition of the mar ket. At the solicitation or coast holders some offers at low prices are being wired out and occasional sales are reported of seeded and loose raisins under the prevailing association figures. Three-crown loose Muscatels, new crop. It Is reported, have eo»d as low as 4e t. o. b. coast, this being lie under the association price. This cut. it Is believed, is due to a division of commission by the broker. "Loose raisins are Vic lower on the spot, J -crown being freely quoted at 6c and selling Jairly well In a small way for immediate needs, "wo-crown, it Is understood, can be bought at l\^c and 4-crown at 6«ic.
