EASTERN MARKETS
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
NEW YORK, Oct 18^-The fall In prices in some stocks today equals
that in some of the panic periods of the past The market was at times in
a condition bordering on demoralization. Conditions at no time, however,
clipped into actual panic, although there was a ruthless slaughter of values
that bore a close resemblance thereto. At no time, however, was the' whole
list embraced in the slump. There were points of comparative resistance
throughout, bur these grew less as the day progressed and the weakness
spread throughout the market. Another feature of the market compared with
the slumping periods of the past is the comparatively small volume of
trading, dealings for the day rising but little over 1,000,000 shares, compared
with 2.000,000 to over 3,000,000 shares in similar periods of past markets.
This is the result of the retirement from Wall street for many months past
of fome of the big semiprofessional speculative plungers, where manipulative
tactics made up much of the total of great days in the past. The knowledge
of this fact has fostered a suspicion that marginal holdings of stocks had
diminished to unimportant proportions. The experience of the past few days
R;oes to correct this impression. There was a brief experience of cheerful
ness after the market opened, when prices advanced slightly and hopes were
entertained that the cut in the dividend on Amalgamated copper had been
discounted in the trading yesterday and that the announced solvency of
the Mercantile national bank after investigation by a clearing house committee
had removed that subject from the realm of disturbing factors. This short
lived gleam of sunshine was the last of it that was seen during the day.
Prices rallied feverishly at times in the pauses in the liquidation, but there
•w-2s no feeling of confidence at any time that the purging process was yet
completed. The weakness at first was pretty closely confined to the copper
stocks. The condition of the copper industry was given responsibility for this
for a time and continuance of the decline in the price or copper indicated
that the point of effective demand had not been reached yet. With the
prospect thus afforded of a possible complete shutdown of production by the
Amalgamated properties and the recollection of th*e successive reductions
which occurred in the dividend on the stock in 1903 the disposition to get
out of holdings seemed to be general. It was evidentthat urgent pressure
on the part of money lenders was a factor in the crash inAmencan smelting
and the forced liquidation in the stock was associated with the cleaning up
process going on among the banks. It was an inkling of the fact that the
ciearing house authorities were discussing the affairs of sume other banks
that caused the general weakness in stocks. The knowledge of this fact
deprived reassuring statements on the subject of their effect The objective
point of the efforts of the clearing house authorities becoming more defined,
however, and restricted to the field of newer activities in banking on the
part of forces generally recognized for lack of conservatism, a better im
pression of the situation gained some foothold. Restricted as was the field
of readjustment sought in the banking situation, however, the fact that the
banking position was under criticism at all had its usual grave effect on con«
fidence and was the sufficient explanation of the disquiet painted in the record
of the day's stock market The grain markets also reflected the scaling
down of credits employed in speculation. Some influence was attributed to
reports that yesterday's Hamburg failure was more important than was at
first supposed, presenting so close a parallel to the local situation as to
appeal to sentiment The German bourses were not seriously . disturbed.
The strong returns of the Imperial bank of Germany were regarded with
satisfaction. Call money loaned at the stock exchange as high as 10 per cent
but this was regarded as due to discrimination between borrowers and col
lateral rather than to any greater tightness in the money market Estimates
of the currency movement showed the movement still away from New York
on balance, but it did not appear that this would be more than if so much
as the gain of $3,170,000 by the banks on subtreasury operations. The closing
tone was- weak and unsettled, in spite of the considerable rally of the last
hour. \u25a0•' •• , • :-\u25a0-..'
Bonds were lower, trat were not notably affected by the liquidation of
stocks. Total sales, par value, $2,414,000. United States 4s declined \i per

Future Grain and Provisions
CHICAGO, Oct. 18.— Demoralization In the
stock market caused a fresh slump of nearly 3
cents per bushel in wheat prices on the local
exchange today. Part , of the loss, however, was
regained on covering by shorts. At . the cloa«
the December delivery showed a net loss of ni
@l%c. Corn >was down: lc. oats were off %(&
%c. Provisions were 2H@sc to 12% c lower.
The severe decline in wheat prices occurred
about the middle -of the session. Prior to that
time the market had been fairly * steady, al
though prices t were somewhat lower," owing to • a
further decline at Liverpool, following the sharp
decline there yesterday. Larger receipts , tn the
northwest also bad a depressing effect early In
the day. About £ noon prices dropped \u25a0 precipi
tately as a result of the dumping on the | mar
ket of enormous quantities : of : long wheat ' by
several of the leading bulls. These sales, it
was said, were • brought out by tho panicky con
dition of » the stock market and by a - fear : that
the primary movement of wheat would soon show
a heavy .;: Increase. Bears \u25a0 took advantage - of
the situation ';• and : sold freely, \u25a0 which caused
still further weakness. Late (in the. day \u25a0 prices
rallied about 1 ' cent from the low point- on
covering by shorts. Tho close was fairly steady.
December opened a shade > lower to ugiio
higher at $f.o2i/£ to $1.02%. told at $1 o'/u
and then declined to 09«4c. The close was
at. $1.01. May - ranged between $1.05*4 and
$I.OBU and closed at $1.08%. a net loss of
I%@lV4c. • : . , , :,\u25a0'
The corn market was weak all day because
ot selling Induced by . the < break In wheat and
by favorable weather tor the maturing of * the
new crop. Demand -. from \u25a0 shippers was tame and
offerings of - new corn . from > the - country were
much more liberal." Primary, receipts were almost
twice :as - large as ;on the - same \u25a0; day " a year
ago, : which further weakened i the market. \u25a0 The
close was weak. December opened unchanged to
a shade lower at 60Ts@61c, \u25a0 sold off ' to 59% c
and closed ateOc. Local receipts were 834 cars
with. 11 of contract \u25a0 grade. :

Kios Angeles \u25a0 Markets
LOS ANGELES, Oct, 18.'— Butter / was weak.
Holders ; of eastern are anxious to sell as the
weather indicates an early production -of fresh
butter.- 'For this reason the holders of eastern
butter hare not taken advantage of the last ad
vance \u25a0 in . fresh stock. They are still selling at
65 cents, ; while fresh California butter is > held
at \u25a0\u25a0\u25a0 77Hc. v This differential, based upon the
difference In quality, Is too broad: and It is ap
parent that, eastern must advance or local
decline. . As \ the : eastern : dealers refuse , : to put
their prices . up and thus reduce their consump
tion,- the dealer In .fresh will have' to come
down as they did in San Francisco. Cheese Is
firm at the price. Receipts .of potatoes totaled
5,000 sacks yesterday. . The market is unsettled.
'Brokers refuse to talk or assert that they cannot
pick the situation at present. It is generally
conceded that .with an Immense crop all over
the coast prices cannot advance materially. On
the ; other hand the heavy receipts would indi
cate 1 that = lower prices are possible.- An un
changed market Is expected for the near future.
Onions are ~ about \u25a0 unchanged - and featureless.
Eggs . are ' firm at quotations for locals ; . only 35
cases came ~ in while -. the demand reaches about
400. '". Eastern eggs, of course, represent nearly
the entire volume of sales and the retail dealer
who thinks he is buying local eggs and is pay
ing 42c : for. them can be reasonably certain that
he Is not getting any large percentage of the
total . 85 cases. The market for fancy Is firm
but cheap grades are weak. Tomatoes advanced
to 85c a box. . Fresa fruits were scarce. A few
poor quality storage peaches were offered at
$1.50. Muscat grapes commanded $1<31.23. Ma
lagas sold for $1.25. Missions and Rose of
Peru were offered at 75@&5c. Strawberries were
unchanged.

Potatoes. Onions -and Vegetable*
There were heavy receipts of potatoes from th«
river yesterday, the arrivals consisting largely of
shipments that had b«#n lying for several day*
on the banks awaiting transportation. The stock
came to hand opportunely and met with, « brisk
demand at stiff prices, as the market had been
quite- bare and buyers were eagerly seeking sup
plies. Cheap stock did better and there was -very
little of anything to be had for leas than $1 a
bag. . Salinas and Oregon Burbanks were largely
nominal, there being very few- offering at first
hands. jOnlons were in limited supply and strong
at higher prices.
Miscellaneous vegetables wer# generally firm.
the strongest article being encumbers, which
were suddenly in scant supply. Equash, peppers,
peas and all kinds of beans brought stll prices,
and choice tomatoes held up remarkably well,
considering the liberal . offerings. The cannera
-were still in the market for the latter and se
cured a few Jots at 25@30c a box.

Poultry and Game
The poultry market was qniet and easy yester
day, as retailers were well supplied after the act
ive trading of the few preceding days and ware
taking very little of anything. Prices for every
thing in the chicken line were Inclined to sag,
but there was no actual change In the quotations
for anything and dealers were not inclined to
sacrifice their holdings. Ducks, geese and pigeons
were quite steady, and young turkeys firm at a
•light advances. The situation in game stood ex
actly as for several days past. Sound offerings
of everything wers quickly snapped up at stiff
price*. \u25a0 while overheated and tainted lots had to
be sold at nominal rates or .thrown away. Only
sound game is quoted.

Batter, Cheese and Eggi
There was no further decline In prices ef but
ter yesterday, bnt the market remained weak for
all grades of fresh California stock, both on the
exchange and in the street. The regular retail
trade was still running largely on storage goods
and neglecting fresh, makes, and there were very
few transactions in the latter among first hand
dealers, as nearly all receivers wers carrying
somewhat of a surplus. Two cents was lopped
off the quotation for. the best California eggs, the
decline being the result of a long period of al
most prohibitive . prices, which naturally checked
the : consumption and caused a run on storags
goods. Tbo latter were unchanged and steady,
as were the lower grades of fresh. Yesterday's
decline brought the price of fresh extras down
almost to a level with firsts, which were quoted
as before at 430. -Fancy California flat cheese
was He higher for both fresh and storage goods.
Tho following sales were made on the ex
change:
Butter— 2o cases of fresh local extras at 38c.
Eggs — 5 cases of fresh California extras at 60c
and 15 at 40c. .
Cheese — 25 fancy new California flats at 17% c.

cheese and oil cases eges.

established by sales, bids and offers on the floor
