The Chicago Record-Herald: With s wild wheat market and a decline for the week of 12c trade In flour has been Irregular but of fair volume, isya the advance proofs of The Northwestern Miller, wired to Logan A Bryan. It la safe to say that salea of Minneapolis mill* during the week exceed ed the output by a liberal margin. The foreign trade displayed unusual Interest In flour, and made comparatively favorable bldg. Even on pateut the demand wag pretty good, and a generous business would have resulted had not mills opportunity to sell on more profitable terms In domestic markets. The Minneapolis flour output last week was less than 3,000 barrels smaller than In the pre ** * “* turned out was 730 In 1906 and mills were in operation today, and should they remain Idle all the week It would - 50,000 barrels reduction. That the week's output around 310,- 000 barrels, against 349,410 a year ago.

Reports of rain In India untrue.” . , New England re-sold more oata to Chicago Wednesday than were bought here by the entire East. The money situation was Inching the Eastern dealer pretty hard. Jboae who hid for oata here stipulated that draft should be made payable only on ar rival of the grain at destination. Very similar stipulations accompanied the bids for corn. Tbeso unusual and entirely un acceptable conditions were asked by some of the strongest house* In the East An unusually large readjustment of pro vision accounts has been made In the last four or five days. Longs havo been quietly reducing their holdings und aborts have l»een reducing their open risks. Aa n re sult of the readjustment there has been a change In the lard position. Cash lard, which was 2%c premium over October de livery recently, wa* down at the close Wednesday to 2%c discount. An Important bulletin will soon be Issued by the department of agriculture at Wnjfli- tngton concerning the meat Industry In If* varloua branches.

The Importance of raising meat animals and of slaughtering nnd pack- lug appears In the statement that a capi tal of $10,626,000,000 la directly concerned, an amount flve-stxtbs as large as all capital Invested In manufacturing In 1904, a little greater than the estimated true vain* of all property situated In the aonth central division of states In 1904, ns also of all property situated In the Rocky Mountain and l’aclflc region.

Town Topics: We do not look for any Imii.^Ilnte great advance In the general market because there will be renewed liqui dation breaking out as new points of weak ness In the banking world develop. • But the Wall street situation Is clonrlug. aud. In our opinion, the market has turned. Stocks bought by the Important Interests for the support of the market will be coming out on the rallies and naturally sharp set-backs are to be expected, but these should be taken advantage of to buy the better class of stocks, ft would be wise to buy Issues like Union Pacific, South ern Pacific, the Hill stocks and Reading for the long pull, as there will be great profits In these securities If held for sev eral months. The Copper metal trade s brighter at the moment, and as Smelters Is heavily oversold It would not be surprising If that stock took the lead of the Indus trials In a sharp rally. Such rails as Baltimore. Louisville. At lantic Coast Line, Pennsylvania, Atchison nnd Northwestern may be bought by In vestors without fear. Shorts are still stub horn, and will he forced to cover much high er If they do not do so soon. On any further decline, cover short cotton nnd wait for a good rally before selling again. We would buy wheat only on the very, sharp breaks for turns. NEW YORK BANK STATEMENT.

The firm states that it has a fair stock of goods to offer at the new prices, and that ders will be filled In the order they are received. First hand agents positively'de clare that they are making no reductions In prices and do not contemplate making any. Owing to the unsettled conditions lu the financial world, dry goods commission merchants and selling agenta are advising nil buyers to be cautions In placing addi tional orders for the spring season. It la not the desire of the primary market fac tors to get their patrous to order more goods than can he disposed of profitably, aud there la aouod business Judgment back of their suggestion that buyers move with more than ordinary caution. The sales for the day were not heavy in any division of the cotton goods trade nnd except for some picking up of spots In gray goods ami light sheetlnga sellers did not book new business. 8TOCKS ACCUMULATING IN HANDS OF INTERIOR HOLDERS. steady.

Oct 26.—The Tlmes-Demo- crot snya: ’'Were It not for the fact that the burden of accumulating stocks of cot- ton ln the hands of Interior holders Is in creasing at a comparatively rapid rate, the friends of the staple might find encourage ment In the knowledge that the spinner uiny now buy supplies from the speculator cheap enough to warrant the expectation of u I;renter consumption of the raw mate rial than would have been the eaae at the higher level with the goods trade on the decline. But too much uncertainty lurks behind the day’* financial affairs to Justify the belief that money matters will soon be adjusted to fit the convenience* of every- body or that the til effect In general la not to l*e felt In acute form later on. In the week Just ended stocks of cotton at couuted Interior towns gained 67.000 bales, as against a gslu of last year of 67,0(K^ notwithstand ing receipts at those towns were only 210.000 as ngainst 319.000 laat year. If the crop prove* sufficiently ahort to give the farmer the up|>erhaml In the actual supply and requirement equalization an about-face In current tendency will not long be delayed. But If, on the other band, more than enough cotton has been made with which to meet the world’s requirements the pres ent day trend of supply statistics must sooner or later mean cumulative troubles for the cot ton-producing states. At the mo ment the Texas spot oasis Is on a parity w*tb that of New Orleans, probably for the first time this season, and Galveston offL rial quotation of ll%c for middling Is therefore absurd."—Hayward, tick A Clark.
