NOTES ON GRAIN Pointer, on Provision*. \G DOWNWARD TURN struck a sn; New York, Nov. 1.—The sun says: The downward movement struck a snag In the stream of speculation yesterday and prices swung round and advanced n trifle—only a trifle—and tho decline may he resumed to day- Then, ngaln one of these events, often unforeseen, but decisive, tuny stomp Itself upon, the marketland give It an altogether different look. We shall sec. meantime, If there Vftn decline, where the decline Is to stop, /fwo or three things rimy stop It— first, the big demand from American and European mills jvhlch are coining money; secondly, decbleinv had weather, and third, the refusal of the planter to sell. There are not wnntlngjthose win* think that the cotton monufoctbrlag business has realty entered upon a uew era. that the demands upon the source* of production of raw cot ton this season fire likely to be of unpar alleled extent, and that he Is but a super ficial thinker who would Judge the present by the thumb rule of the past. t'otisump- tIon has Increased faster than production, and It Is n plainly wrlten fact that prices are double what they were some years ago. The public holds aloof. This makes It a purely professional market. The short In* tcrest teems to have Increased of late, and bad weather or some other bullish factor would probably cause a sudert upturn. Orleans, Nov.

Chicago, Nov. 1.—Judging from cnutlntied liberal exports and light primary-receipt*, the hears seem to he decidedly more on the defensive than tho bulls.. Corn dull, hut firm. Oats firm; receipts very moderate. Wheat opened lower, with northwest and It traders selling. Then* Is n goo*l active trade Jn provisions, with prices strong and steady. Cudahy Packing Company bought May and sold January lard. Commission houses bought t,ho list. We have had a good sharp ad- vanco and reaction would he only natural. Strength of this market while specula tive dullness Is so pronounced forces one to the conclusion that wheat must he worth all- and more than It Is bringing.

Chicago, Nov. 1.—Wheat price* closed at about the beat figures of the day influenced by the increaaed. »pec- ulatlve buying and strength In the cash market of the country’. Closing prices were 5-8#3-4c higher for wheat; un changed to l-8c higher for corn, and l-8®l«4c higher on oat*. Provisions were 17 1-2 to 35c higher. Private wire h6uses were the largest buyers of wheat. Tho volume of busi ness .showed an appreciable Iricreuse. The report of cash sales' ut Duluth and in the Southwest was a strength ening factor. Sentiment In wheat,is growing more bullish. Corn was weak early, but later re covered fractionally. A sharp advance In pork was the feature of the provisions trade. Primary receipts of wheat were 795,- 000, against 1,900,000 - bushels a yeur ago. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. Open. WHEAT- Dee 73% May 7**„ Dee. May. July 334 33< LARD- Jnn.... 13.9) 11.17* May...

STOCKS REVIEWED BY NEW YORK SUN In greater volume than It was Tuesday. Prices In Londou before the opening here were, as a rule, lower, a rather notable decline of a full point being recorded In the price of United States Steel common. Reason for this was said to be a “disap pointment" over tho circumstance thnt the net earnings of the September qnarter did not roach $40,000,000, as some speculative optimists of the more Intense type had looked for. These earnings were, however, only slightly below the figure named, and year. In view of the well known fact that preceding.
