Ign market Juts nil the appearance of being oversold and the more cotiterva- element abroad are of the otduton that the American markets, business today lapsed Into nu uninteresting state. The early decline resulted from it positive lack of support. Large crop Ideas continue to predominate nml the feeling with regard to the glliners* report to be Issued Thursday Is unmistakably bearish, estimates ranging n tho neighborhood of C.800,000 bales, or an ncrease of about 300,000 bales over same erlod In 1906. As far n* the actual sltun- 'on Is concerned, there lias l»een little. If Iw tiuu is concerned, mere nni item nine, u any, specific change, but nevertheless dur ing the day there developed both here and abroad In speculative sentiments a disposi tion to look with favor upon a reaction from existing mnrket prices. This change in feel ing Is nothing more than a renetfonury he ller, after the present extensive decline, for the spot sltuntlou does not reflect any ab normal demand for cotton mid the country business drags over with ft tendency on the part of holders to uwnlt a better selling basis. Probably this policy of withholding would be retracted were a further decline to result and the spinner knowing this is a purchaser of no more than necessities. THE WEATHER. LOCAL FORECAST.

Tli.re I* a situation developing, or already developed. In the spring wheat country which 1* worthy tho attention of wheat traders the world over. Theae condition* have received more attention than usual thin week, and an a result wheat prloea scored an advance of about 2c for May and a little better than this for the December at best prlcta of tho week, reached Friday tnornlnif. This gain In prices doea not represent fairly the Improved activity In trade, as on one or two days the market had a awing of about lc, and yet dosed with no material change. Two or three of the more Important things which come to the surface In connection with the spring wheat crop may be enumerated. There Is nothing new In tho fact that Minneapolis re ceipts continue to run very light, In fact about half as large as a year ago. It Is nothing new to state that Minne apolis stocks are decreasing when there should be a natural increaao of possi bly a million bushels a week at this time of year. Hut the reasons for this remarkable falling off In tho movement of wheat to tho biggest milling center In the world are more apparent and better understood than beforo. For weeks the trade has been made to believe that the railroads in the spring wheat country either could not or would not move the wheat forward and stories were printed, way after day about the great number of enrs on this side tracks. Tbb Impression was giv en that some day or some week there would bo a special effort made and re ceipts might be so large ns to swamp the entire trade and break prices. Lat est and best advices from the spring wheat country this week Indicate that the Important Interior milling points of the northwest are drawing heavily on the wheat In their respective localities. On Friday a northwe.t leader reported that very much of the Houth Dakota wheat was going from tho local sta tions to the country milling points. Nothing could be more stupid than the speculative market In com every dny for the week. Prices nt tho close yesterday wore not l-4c from where they were a week before. There Is plenty of hear sentiment In the local trade in May contract*, and no doubt a large short interest exists. No ope appears to wish to lead a campaign of short selling to force price* lower. It has not proved tin easy matter In the past, and the stubbornness of the mar ket around 44n for that month Is not relished by the bears. Strength In provisions late In tlis week almost overshadowed the grain markets at one time. The contracts for October and November were fairly well evened up, and the bulk of the trade went Into January and May. January pork moved up In a day or two from 113.75 to 114.17 1-2, while lard and ribs for the same month scored an ad vance of nearly 25c. The strength Is the natural out growth of the lighter supply of hogs which has haen recorded for several weeks. The exports in tho trade also knew a day in advance that the stocks of provisions would be cut down very materially fortthe month of October. When tho official figures were made public yesterday morning stocks of pork were found to be 15,000 barrels less than n yesr ago, lard stocks 05,000 tes. less and ribs reduced one-half for the month and brought down to a total of 8,000,000 pounds, which Is half as much as a year ago. Hately's report on lard stocks of the world shows a reduction from 258,000 tc*. October l to 181,000 tc*. November The publication of the figures gavt the market no Immediate help. In fact, there was a moderate break following them, because so many who had line* of product bought were ready to take profits and sell while the bullish statis tics supports.) the market.—Chicago Evening Poet.

Chicago, Nov. 5.—Tired longs had wheat for sale during the session, and It showed losses of 3-805-Sc for the day. There was a lack of demand and there were less bulls when the’market closed. Bull new* seemed to fall flat. It was welcomed by the long*, but they refused to act upon It. The bears and the longs here followed the north western selling. Corn closed uulet and 8-8@l-2c lower. Oats were up 1-8 l-4c and provisions 2 l-2@10c lower. The visible supply of wheat showed an Increase of 898,000 bushels for the week, while there were decreases of 37.000 bushels In com and 183,000 bush els In oats. Primary receipts of wheat 1,278,000 bushels and corn 688,000 bushels, com pared with 1,663,00 and 788,000 bush, els. respectively, n year ago. Clearances for the day were 382,000 bu.helii«-hent. 538,000 bushels com and 50.000 bushels oats. ' Cash grain business Included 50,000 wheat, 40,000 bushels com and 60,000 bushels oats at Chicago.

The close Saturday afternoon was at 66%c, but tn the late half hour’s trading the best price was 68c. Tht fluctua tions are duo to self-evident nmnipttlntlon by large Interest*. The price Is conaldera- Wy lower than at the same season last year, though there arc stronger natural In• fluences at work for Ixstter values than then. The rosin market closed the week with S sitis of 2c for window glass nnd 6c for f, with loaaca of 10c for U and 6c tor 1 nnd K. For the first time this season the two top grades are selling nt n parity. This docs not mean a great desk as neither grade Is on (he market to any extent at tbl* time of the year.

At midday prices Were little •■hanged from the Saturday close and tho dealings hud all but come to a standstill. The loral fran chise stocks were ngnln conspicuously strong, the Iatorhoro Rapid Transit Issues In particular making a substantial gain.
