The wheat market doe* not look strong this morning. They say cables little too strong. Tho Inter-Ocean says:' Traders In the wheat pit credited the liberal sell ing by Ilulbard Warren to Valentine. The latter was not In the market ipenly yesterday, but watched It closely. Parts of Missouri that have been too dry all the season, are now complain ing of too much rain. Charleston. Mo„ had nine days of rain, and the corn crop Is not being benefited by It. Cash business on wheat In Chicago yesterday was SS.OOA bushels mixed ' 700 bushels, Including a rail to Baltimore, and oats 254,000 bushels. The seaboard re ported 125,000 bushels wheat, 00,000 bushels corn and 50,000 bushels of oats taken (or export. There were claims of 250,000 bushels of ocean freight room taken for wheat on the seaboard, mostly a speculative venture by exporters, owing to the low rates for ocean tonnage. Private Wire to Olbcrt ft C7ay. Chicago, Oct. 5.—The Record-Herald sdys: You may record my prediction that America will be exporting wheat to Russia before the end nf the pres ent crop year," said William Dunn. "The situation appears to me to be most remarkable. It Is seldom one see. conditions In the wheat market so fav. nrnble for the speculator and Investor. You can hardly ask the farmer to sell wheat on the basis of 50c per bushel when he had raised only 4 to 10 bush els to the acre, as la common In many sections. I think the northwestern crop was vastly over-rated at the be ginning, and that It will go Into his tory as the fake crop of the genera tion." WEATHER - FORECAST. Oenrsls.

And that destined to come here? The last half of the question Is a great deal easier thsn the flfst. The farmer, of course, still owns the great bulk of this year’s record-break ing crop, but he has powerful allies. If the names of the latter were known It would dear up a great deal of anxiety In groin circles yie world over. It Is a conservative estimate that there are 25,000,000 bushels of wheat bought and owned In the Chicago mar ket outside of regular grain circles. The figure might easily go a few mil lions higher, und probably It will be fore the campaign Is ended. Charles Sweeney, 8. C. Schwab, A. I. Valentine, A. J.

STOCKS REVIEWED BY NEW YORK SUN New York. Oot. 6.—The Hun says: "The total’ volume of transactions was only half of that of (ha preceding stock exchange nessbm. Tne direct cause, for this notable falling off in business was, of course, a curtailment nf operations of tbo pi-ncq^alonnls of so-called higher rank, but whet the motive* were that Induced tlieee op erator. to withdraw from the market were pretty largely matters of guess work. In th* esrly part of the day there were those who declared thut the heeltancy of the market was due to fear* that matte- for disturbance might be found in the speech of the president of the United States to be delivered at the dedication of the new -an'irl of Pennavlvnnla at Har- rlaburg, but printed abstract# of *hls spvecn snowed that th* president had dona no mere In his address than re iterate hla familiar vlewa concerning the supervision of corporation* by the general government. To moet obaerv- era th* actual news of tha day seemed to favor very positively the construct ive aid* of tne market. An Incident of the day Just before the end of th* ses sion which will surely call for no little comment, was th# announcement of the directors of th* Chicago. Milwaukee and St. Paul nallway Company In mak ing public the new* nf gross Increase In th# company'* earning* for August of 2711,000. that hereafter the new earnings of their company will not ht given out until the close of th* fiscal year."—Glbert ft Clay.

It wus sutficlentlj- large, too, to show that the cotton market Is a broader affair than It Ims been nt any time for a good many months.

Home bullish reports i'»- sert that tho loss r' cotton by the recent storm was naif a mllll-m hah . and that some S.ooo.nno bales monj ware atalneil. This Is not acceptcii by everybody, but the Impression Is that tho Houtli lost a good deal of cotton, nnd tho quality also suffered more or lees, while In these times of great pros perity In the cotton golds Industry tha demand from the mills runs very Iji k'-- ly to the belter grades of raw cotton; Very little adaption was paid to t.-.o liberal esllroato* of-receipt* -to.hu- .-it New Orleans und Galveston for th- i o- son thnf the total ‘crop movement at present Is comparatively small, t'rr- talnly It Is falling' far helmv what might be expected if bearish crop cell mates are anything like correct.
