CHICAGO, 0.-t. 12.— Heavy realizing sales
during th<> last hour of the session today over
came an avalanche of bullish news from all
directions and caused a decided slump ln
wheat. December, after an advance of %c.
Closed V lower. Corn left off unchanged.
Oats lost %c. Pork advanced 7'_e, lard de
clined 2%C and ribs are up 2' 2 e.
Opening transactions in wheat were on a
largn* Ecale tiian the >U has seen in a month.
The strength at Liverpool and the enormous
cash grain business dune here yesterday were
the all-lmoortant conditions. The Liverpool
Advance was nearly twice as great as the
rally here yesterday, and the seaboard started
in by reporting further large export engage
ments. Before the opening crush had sub
sided the trade was apprised of fifty boat
loads taken at New York. To add to the
strength which the market displayed there
were English cables reporting it probable that
Kuss!:- would prohibit exports of cereals.
Though thes,- were promptly denied the trade
had plenty of other bullish news to stimulate
It on the buying side. Minneapolis put her
sales of flour yesterday at 132,000 bbls.
Broomhall cabled that the Australian crop had
been damaged by drouth, and there was wet
weather tn the Northwest, which promised to
cut off to some extent the arrivals in that
center. With all of this the temper of trade
was skeptical. Some of the important Inter
ests here seemed ranged on the selling side,
and there was fairly free selling from St.
•Louis. Local exporters were bearish and
claimed that the advance here had carried
thorn out of line, so far as exports from Chi
cago were concerned. The actual clearings
for the day were 477,000 bu. Primary market
receipts were 1,472,00, against 1.357,00 a year
ago. Arrivals here were 159 carloads, against
163 last year, and Minneapolis and Duluth re
ceived 1,135 carloads, as compared with 1,010
last wet?k and 920 a year ago. Though sales
of December were made early around 650
65%e. an advance over last night's close of
%0-^c, there was a backset to 64% c before
noon. Directly after that time reports of
70 loads and 87 of corn taken for export at
New York started the price up to 05% c again.
The weekly as well as the daily calls were
In this vicinity, and considerable opposition
was experienced. During the closing hour
the reports of export business at New York
were swelled to 100 loads, with an accompany
ing total of 112 loads of corn. The resulting
excitement was intense enough to carry De
cember wheat up to 65V_c, where it was met
by tho offerings of numerous people who had
good profits and were willing to take them.
Though the New York stories were supple
mented with reports of 150,000 bu cash wheat
and over 1.000,000 bu of cash corn disposed of
here. It did not lighten the load of those on
whom the property had been dumped, and in
their efforts to shift the weight the market
wae slumped down to 64V4c for December, and
the close was at 64%&64% c. Another depress
ing feature near the close was a decline of
IV.C per bu at Budapest today and 5c in the
past three days.
An enormous export business and higher
cables caused a strong feeling ln corn at
the opening. There was a temporary weak
spot early, however, on account of very lib
eral sales by those who had proffts in sight.
New York reported thirty boat-loads engaged
for export before the or onlng here, and this
total was swelled to 112 loads in the course
of the day. That threw the old bull crowd
Jnto the breach and speedily developed a
strong market which continued until wheat
came to disaster, when corn traversed the
same road. December began Vefii %c higher, at
SO^fT'.'-'xc. declined to 30 l 2 c, advanced to 30%
@31c, then reacted to SO^c, the closing figure.
A scattered demand from scalpers and shorts
improved oats early. December was compar
atively very much stronger than May. the
spreading being narrowed by %c. There was
a good shipping demand, and cash prices
Showed as much of an advance as did Deeem
h- m Th^» market finally yielded, however,
with tho s>ump ln wheat. Receipts were 274
cars. May opened unchanged to %c higher,
at 23%@23%c. rose to 23% c, then fell off to
22c at 'he close.
More reassuring yellow fever news from the
South and an advance ln the price of hogs
et the yards strengthened provisions at the
p^'irt. There were large receipts of hogs at
tne principal Western points, and some dispo
sition on the part of packers to sell, but
prices were advanced on heavy buying of
ribs by houses with European connections.
Near the end, however, the market felt the
decline in wheat, and the advance was nearly
all lost. January pork opened at $8.95. de
clined to $8.92%, then rose to $9.10 and set
tled back to $9.02'-_ at the close. The range
In lard and ribs was narrow.

Live Stock Markets.
SOUTH ST. PAUL, Oct. 12.— The receipts at
the Union stock yards today were: Cattle,
2,365; calves, 1,006; hogs, 1,492; sheep, 6,8?>3.
The cattle market was steady on good butcher
cattle and uncertain on high grade stockers
and feeders. A few of the latter » *ld high,
but the majority went at lower prices. The
yards are Hooded with common fftuff and this
Is almost unsalable. The hog market was
steady, but sales dragged and one or two
bunches were left unsold owing to the fact
that commission men did not get them to the
scales. The sheep market was suady on mut
ton stuff and firm, 25 to 4Uc lower on lambs
and others.
Hogs— Market steady with yesttrday. Sales
dragged and much ot the stuff was not sold
, until late. Quality was fair. Representative

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.— The undertone of
strength which has been manifest for sev
eral days assumed the upper hand in the
stock market tcday, ignoring the continued
weakness in some of the specialties and div
ing the bears to cover, thus putting an end
to the decline in some of these stocks. Buy
ing to cover short contracts plavod no small
part in the rise all through the list. It was
not the result of an awakened public inter
est in the market, but was nnther by cap
italists or groups of financier inte rated in
this or that property, according inside
support. It was selling by insiders, In fact,
that sent Northern Prcifle down last week',
and sympathetically affected the rail read Us',
generally. Today's sharp recovery ln No. th
em Pacific, which extended to 1%, was th re
fore a great relief. There wa_ conspicuous
buying also in Union Pacific preferrrd, the
grangers and some of the So-uthern and
Southwestern roads, the net gains for many
stocks re-aching a point. Kansas & Texas
preferred was a conspicuous exception, with
a net loss of nearly a point The speculation
in Tobacco and Sugar continued active and
feverish, and the movement of these d~m-
Inant specialties was conflicting. While To
bacco broke 4% in the early trading, Su?ar
made a sharp recovery of its recent dccllre,
and, while Tobacco rallied nearly to la^t
night's close in the late dealings, the early
gain in Sugar was more than wiped out.
There waa quite a striking movement in
such gilt-edged issues as Chicago & Alton
an£ Great Northern and St Paul preferred.
There was no conspicuous development in
the general situation to account for the
changed temper in Wall street, unless it
might bo the continued heavy d-mand for
cereals for export and the advancing prices
for them in foreign market*. Money con
ditions in London were also slightly easier,
which brought some buying fcr London ac
count, and there was appreciaiblo evidence
of the increased supply of surplus capital
here. The closing of the market showed
quite a firm tone in spite of weakness in
one or two of the industrials.

FOREIGN FINANCIAL— New York, Oct. 12.
—The Evening Post's London financial cable
gram says: "The stock markets here opened
steady today, but quickly gave way from
lack of support and the tone generally closed
dull and lireless. Americans were exception
ally good on New York buying and prices
c'.ocsd quiet at the best. French and German
exchange on London is still rising. Lond.n
discounts arc easier, opinions as to the Bank
of England's action on its official rate to
morrow being evenly dlvld'd."
TREASURY STATEMENT — Washington,

WALL STREET GOSSIP— New York stock
gossip, reported by H. Holbert & Son, bark
ers and brokers, 341 Robert street, National
German-American Dank bui'ding, Sr. Pau :
Post Si Flagg wire us: "London came higher
this morning, and was a fair buyer of the ir
specialties and their purchases were aug
mented by quite heavy local buying. There
was less talk on the calamity which wa**
impending from the coming e'.estion; in fact,
all through the market a more cheerful tone
prevailed. The only exception to this be:
ter feeling was Tobacco, which broke quite
■sharply on heavy selling orders, but subse
quently rallied, closing very little below las;
night. Sugar just reversed this process, ad
vancing sharply, but in the last hour telling
off again. We feel bullish on this stock, and
think from this on it is a purcha c wh n lt
is weak. We notice that Potter & Co., who
do a large business for insiders, are buyers
for the flrtt time In a long while. This g*>:s
to bear out what wa said yesterday ln regard
to this; the general li.t looks very stro* g,
and Is If higher prices wculd prevail ln the
near future."

BOSTON WOOL MARKET— Boston, Oot. 12.
—The American Wool and Cotton ReDortj-r
will say tomorrow: "The past week has been
a very dull and unsatisfactory one. Some ne
gotiations have been pending, which may
result in more business In the course of a
week or two, but the actual volume of sales
has been even smaller than on the previous
week. One wool house reports that It could
have done over $100,000 worth of business if
It had chosen to come down in its asking
price, but It declined to do so. Other in
stances are cited indicating the firmness with
which wool is generally held by the trade, al
though there are some soft spots where hold
ers have got more than they can take care
of. What demand there has been has run
mostly to No. 1 and No. 2 blood unwashed
fleece at 22®23c, and territory wools, the
former being used in army goods. Domestic
fine wools have been very quiet, scarcely any
thing having been done in this line of stock.
The sales of the week in Boston amount to
657,000 pounds domestic and 533,000 pounds
foreign, making a total of 1,900,000 against a
total of 1,334,000 for the previous week and
a total of 6,861,000 for the corresponding week
last year. Sales since Jan. 1, 1898, amount to
88,112,000 pounds against 219,818,100 pounds
last year at the same time.

—Coffee options opened quiet with November,
5 points dower, other months unchang?d.
Ruled moderately active with weak under
tone, following cables, avaraging up bearlsh
ly, deliveries being light; the American vis
ible having sharply increased and demand
for spot coffee being tame; later rallied on
covering and ilocal buying of the investment
order. Closed quiet, net unchanged. Sale 3
16,000 bags, including March 5.80 c. Spot coffee

NEW YORK METALS— New York, Oct. 12.
—Pig iron warrants were quite unsettled to
day, duo in part to conservatism on the part
of buyers and corresponding concessions on
the part of sellers. Spelter was quite firm on
scarcity of offerings and increased attention.
The badance of the list in the metal market
was stupidly dull and lacked interesting fea
tures. At the close the metal exchange called
pig iron warrants easier, with $6.90 bid and
$7.15 asked. Lake copper, unchanged 12.15 c
bid and 12.37V_c asked. Tin unchanged, $17
bid and $17.15 asked. Lead, unchanged. $3.87^
bid and $3.90 asked. Spelter firm. $4.90 bi_
and $5 asked. The firm naming the settling
prioe for leading miners and smelters at the
West quoted lead at $3.75.
NEW YORK DRY GOODS— New York, Oct.
12.— The new arrangement for curtailment and
the pooling of stocks at Fall River waa the

trade today. The new plan includes a shut
ting down of various mills for eight weeks
between Nov. 1 and Feb. 1. The market
showed no absolute gain tod .y on the stre igth
of this announcement, but there was a strong
er feeling prevailing among sellers. The qus
-tatlcns of extra 1g still 1 15-16., but no sales
at this figure are reported. In the local mar
ket trading was slow again. The market
for starle cotton was quiet ln all lines. Ex
port 0-ood.s were ln quiet request.
SEED MARKETS— Chicago, Oct. 12.— The
flax seed market was active and strong today,
but lost 4 little of the early advance. The
position is strong and bound to make itself

CACHED HIS COIN.
An Illinois Man lliiried Hl» Money
and Lo». Hl* Ca.pi.nl.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., Oct. 12.— Two
years ago last August, Frederick I.eka,
a wealthy retired farmer who has been
making his home with Mr. and Mrs.
Albert Stanley, No. 422 Madison street,
this city, lost his trust in banks and
buried $14,000 in a glass jar under the
barn at Stanley's place. Six months
later the old man went to look at his
treasure and it was gone. He made no
report of his loss.
Mre. Stanley informed Deputy Sher
iff Marks today that she had seen her
husband and George Ritter, a promi
nent citizen and eon of the former su
perintendent of streets, dig up the
treasure. Roth men were immediately
arrested and are now in Jail.
Mrs. Stanley says her husband and
Riiter secured Leka's money two years
ago. Since that time she has frequent
ly begged both to return the money,
but they steadfastly refused. Mrs.
Stanley says she again asked her hus
band yesterday to return old Deka's
money. Stanley became exasperated
at his wife's persistency, and, she
charges,^ threatened to kill her. She
concluded today to give information to
the officers, which resulted ln the ar
rest of the men.
Investigation discloses that Ritter
has $2,900 to hie credit In a local bank,
and he has recently purchased a butch
er shop and bought a fine piano for his
children. No trace has been found of
what Stanley has done with his share
of the money. It is said the amount
Deka buried was only one-half of his
fortune.
