THE GAINS IN SHARES GOOD ADVANCES OX WALL STREET DUE TO LO.NDOX DULL. FEELIXC. Louisville & Nashville Led the Upward Procession, London Dayinff Heavily A Fevr Declines. Money on call at New York yesterday was easier at iQ per cent, with the last loan at 6 rer cent. Prime mercantile paper was 4,i3C per cent. Sterling exchange was firm, ith actual business in bankers' bills at 4t.S5H34.S6U for demand and at SI.S14.S1U tor sixty days; posted rates were H8234.S3 to 4.Ss4.87; commercial bills, fi$0!H.0& Silver certificates were hSsMZQc; bar silver, BTc; Mexican dollars, 47c. 'Bar silver in London aold at 26 1-lSd per ounce. With the exception of . tome profit-taking rales In the last hour of yesterday's New York stock market, the movement of prices was. upward, almost' without Interruption. The demand was nqt large at any time, but the supply of stocks proved small, even at the higher prices, except In a few cases, notably Southern Pacific, which met large offerings at 3S. ; The late break was led by Erooklyh Transit, which was pressed down under a flood of offerings to 87, an extreme decline of Z. The profit-taking which was Induced by this weakness was most conspicuous In Sugar and Tobacco, which lost nearly two points each of theextreme advance. The Initial Impulse to the rise came from London, where the easier money conditions and a hope that peaceful settlement of the Transvaal difficulty induced, large covering by the bears in all department. London bought stocks here to the extent of upwards of 15,000 shares and showed a special desire for Louisville, which led the active railroad list with a net advance of 1 after an extreme rise of two points. The. maximum rate for call money was 8 .per cent, to-day. against 12 per cent, yesterday and 2D per cent, the day before. The rate fell to 4 per cent, in the late dealings. This progressive decline in the money rate was an Important element In the strength of stocks and has awakened expectations of a good bank statement to-morrow. The expectation seems to be based on the fact that the banks are known to have received J2.009.0W in gold oa account of pcvstoftlce receipts from Cuba and drafts from the San Francisco mint on account of the Klondike KOld deposited there. The gold engaged last week In London also figures In the expectations of speculators, although It will not be received until to-morrow and will not figure In to-morrow's bank statement. As a matter of fact, the New York banks have lost on the interior movement about 3.COO.00O. Allowing for the $2,000,000 received, the net Joss In Kold to the banks seems to be upwards of $3,500,000. The result may be complicated by the effect of money pent here byvlsitors to the Dewey celebration, which is an unknown Quantity. The easier rates for money are largely due to offerings on account of the outside banks which will be of no advantage to the New York banks in th-tr weekly showing. The relaxation in London discount rates resulted In a decline in sterling exchange at Paris and Berlin. In strong contrast was the sharp advance in the sterling exchange rate here. This la raid to be due to covering by exchange bankers, who have. sold bills In anticipation of a. large outward movement of cotton and grain. The chartering of a large number of vessels by the British government to transport troops and the resulting rise In rates for shipping awakoned a fear that shipments cf merchandise may be hampered. The bond market continued firm, but the movement In prices was upward. Total a!ev par value, $l,5G0,0u0. United States thrt.es advanced and new fours 4 in the bid price.

LOCAL CRAIX AXD mODlCK. Trade I Unnstunlly Active, vsJth I'rlcesj Steady and Firm. On the wholesale streets, and on Commission row, diligent inquiry falls to discover any merchant who is not well satisfied with the volume of his business, and the only complaint heard Is that competition Is so sharp that they are obliged to sell on very close margins. The dry goods merchants say that never before in their history has their business been more satisfactory, the fact .belna: that, with close margins, their trade is so large that In the aggregate profits are quite satisfactory. The hide market is active, with prices firm at the advance of Wednesday. The coal market is rather quiet, warmer weather having checked the demand. The prices are firm at our quotations, which were revised yesterday. The seed men are having a good trade, prices being very firm, especially on clover. The leather market Is active, prices steadj. The sales of belting the last few months, onaccount of the improvement In business with manufacturers, has been remarkably good. In other lines there are no special features. The local grain market is more active; still, the receipts of grain are considerably beloir the dally consumption, and the local deale; are troubled to get grain in sufficient quantities to keep their mills running.

THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL LESSON Oct. 8, lS9f Esther ill, 1-11 Hainan's Plot Against he Jewi, The Book of Esther Is like a mountain stream; It Is so transparent In it matter, so swift In Its movement. Yet It is one of the most masterful tragedies in literature. A master hand shifts its scenes. It is pronounced "a. truly wonderful and paradoxical history." A hostile critic must needs admit that "In It the customs and arrangements of the Persian Court are both vividly and faithfully depicted." From a purely literary standpoint it cannot be Ignored, while the devout will find it a richer jewel case than any the Queen's boudoir could boast. Xerxes will fain forget the disgrace of his Illstarred campaign against Greece in the voluptuous pleasures of his palace. He seeks another on whom to confer the crown plucked in drunken anger from the queenly and virtuous Vashtl's brow. In this matter the king's heart is In the Lord's hand like a brook of water. He turns It toward the lovely Jewish maiden well named "The Star," from the purity and loftiness of her character. At the same time that Xerxes chooses a queen he also selected a prime minister; but not so wisely. Ha man, "the magnificent," Is a vain. Jealous, vindictive character. ' To feed his inordinate pride, the king Issues a decree requiring an obsequious prostration on the part of all at sight of him. Mordecal, the menial porter at the gate, the unrecognized foster father of the young queen, refuses obedience. A small nature, unduly promoted. Is always most tenacious about the deference due the office it fills. The glory of his riches, his phenomenal promotion, availed him nothing so long as the Jew at the gate bowed not as he passed. With desperate and cruel art he forms a plot which shall not only remove Mordecal, but destroy his hated race, root and branch. There is nothing improbable In the edict for the slaughter of the Jews. Human life was cheap. Xerxes had. Just seen his army of five million melt before his eyes. What did an unknown number of aliens scattered through his provinces amount to? The Analysis. The Book of Esther A masterful tragedy. Its literary charm; its spiritual significance. The history; Xerxes defeated. Seeks pleasures of his palace. A new queen selected. THE TEACHER'S LVNTERN. The Book of Esther hinges on Mordecal's refusal of obela&nce to llaman. If it was the expression of mere racial hatred or personal antipathy. It was wholly unjustifiable. The true cause is revealed in Mordecal's answer to the expostulations of the kind's servants. He told them hs was a Jew. That puta his action on the highest possible plane. His motive was altogether religious, lie could not assume the same posture beiore a fellow-creature he took In worship of God. The first letter of the Decalogue forbade It. The name of God does not appear in the Book of Esther; but Ills providence shines from every pnge. - To deliver his people from their perilous exutmity, God bi ought Esther to the throne. Had she failed in the emergency He would have brought safety and enlargement from some other quarter. The same hand is bujy in the tame way yet in the affairs of nations and individuals. Mordecal's Lackbone Is an object well worthy of admiration. There Is abroad a cringing deference to worldllnesa. It is bad in the pew. It Is despicable In the pulpit. We seem to be coming to a state satirized by Carlyle as "a mush of concessions." The need is of Chrltlan stalwartness Mordecal's "I am a Jew" ought to be matched in our day by "1 am a Christian'." He Found It. Life. "Did you ver know your huf band to find anything where you told hint to look for It?" said Mrs. Dimpleton to Mrs. Witherby. "Never but once," said Mrs. "Witherby "but I don't consider it was a fair trial." ' "Oh, do tell me." "I told him to look in one of my pockets in my wardrobe for a smelling bottle that was wrapped up In a hundred-dollar bill papa had given me for my birthday, and he found it In three minutes."

The next tlnrve they want to have a yacht race in New York, perhaps they will Know enough to set a few Kansas people to go down there to blow around about their corn crop.

A LONG LINE DUMPED

ST. LOUS KNOCKED TilE BOTT03X OCT OF CHICAGO "WHEAT. Corn Showed Material Gains A Continued Good Showing In the Local rroduce Markets. CHICAGO. Oct. 6. Irresponsive cables, a big crop estimate by Snow and the letting go of long wheat by St. Louis were the principal factors in a decline In wheat here to-day, December and May closing Tsftlc under yesterday. Corn was firm with Liverpool, closing HSUc up. 'Oats were steady, closing unchanged to a shade lower. Pro visions showed Insignificant closing changes. Wheat was weak at the opening. Liverpool failed to show the advance expected. In view of the war rumors, and the effect was discouraging to the bulls. The market opened He under yesterday's close. December, at 73li'S73c, and May at 76U"6c. Reports of large Argentine shipments were also an influence tending to weaken the market. An increase of 1,200,000 bushels in, the stocks at Minneapolis and Duluth was reported and Snow in his report estimated the crop of wheat at SJ&I.OOO.OOO, considerably over the government estimate. With these bearish items longs began to unload on the market and the price seadlly declined. St. Louis, which for some days had been a strong support to the local market let go of a long line. Less important liquidating; was done by local and other outside traders. December declined to I2Y2C. There was some covering by shorts at the decline and this and buying against puts caused a reaction in December to 72 but the liquidation was too general for the market to stand up under and December again declined to 72'372c, at which It closed. May wheat ranged at 75375V2C to 76(g76?c and closed at HV2C. Chicago received 140 cars, four of contract grade; Minneapolis and Duluth 1,014, against 8C9 last week and 1,019 a year ago. Total primary receipts were 1,2S4.O0O bushels, as compared with 1,771,000 a year ago. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour amounted to 710,000 bushels. New York reported 32 boatloads taken for export. Corn early was strong and higher in sympathy with the Liverpool advance of d. The higher price of the English market was taken aa an evidence that the increase in freight rates will come out of British pockets rather than from here. The local price was helped by an impression quite generally prevailing that crop estimates have been too liberal. Owing to the scarcity of cars the shipping business was slow. Local receipts were 546 cars. New York reported 114 loads taken for export. December opened at 30H3Gt4c ranged from 3030Uc and closed 8c higher at-owaduue. Oats were extremely dull but steady. The market In general followed corn. The entire range was only Mc. Reported receipts here were 201 cars. Clearances were 200,000 bushels. Snow put his estimate of the crop at 869.000.000 bushels, compared with his estimate of 799,000,000 last year. December ranged from 22Q23c to 22Q23c and closed unchanged at 22"4c. Provisions barely held their own. showing steadiness with hogs, which were unchanged to 5c up. The cash trade was not brisk. Hog receipts were less than expected, 29,000 reaching the yards. January pork opened at $9.70 and closed unchanged. January lard opened at $3.53 and closed at that figure. January ribs-opened at a shade up at $5.073.10 and closed unchanged. Estimated receipts for to-morrow Wheat, 1S5 cars; corn, 815 cars; oats, 840 cars; hogs, 16,000 head. There will be no session of the Chicago Board of Trade on Monday, Oct. 9, Chicago day.

The fifth series of the wool sales closed to-day with offerings of 11.419 bales. The selection was fair, and the continent purchased good merinos after spirited competition. Home buyers took the bulk of the cross-breds offered. Inferior stock was difficult to sell, even at easier rates. The general sales closed with prices showing a better basis than the early part of the series premised. During the series 1SO.0OO bales were sold and 13,000 were carried over. The home trade purchased 123,000 bales and the continental buyers 53,000. The opening of the series showed prices 74 per cent, higher, and this advance was firmly established during the first week, except for low grade sllpes. On a demand from the home trade, which was especially good, continental buyers purchased moderately of merinos at hardening rates. Medium stock and fine crocs-breds realized 15 per cent, better and scoured 10 to 15 per cent. Toward the end of the series the demand from the home trade fell away considerably and the continental buyers held off with the view that the opening of the Australian's sales would show lower values. Prices eased 5 per cent, from the highest. Although the continent bought more freely during the last week prices showed no material Improvement. Merinos and fine cross-breds closed firm at 10 to 124 per cent, above the July series. One of the features of the sale was low, coarse cross-breds, which were depressed at the last series, opened at this sale 74 to 10 per cent, higher and advanced to 15 per cent. Medlum greasy was taken by Americans at 20 per cent, advance, but closed at 10 per cent, advance owing to lack of demand. Inferior 6llpes showed little change owing partly to the dearness of merinos, which would not allow profit when made up. causing manufacturers to reek lower priced articles with fair success. Cape of Good Hope and Natal were in poor supply, but In good demand, and showed an Improvement of 34d to 41. Snow white scoured realized 401d, and greasy fleeced washed Id higher. Recently medium Fcoured eased slightly. The sales to-day were as follows: New South Wales, 528 bales; Queensland. 1.163 bales; Victoria, 1.044 bales; South Australia. 404 bales; West Australia, 51 bales; New Zealand. 8.175 bales, and Cape of Good Hope and Natal, 47 bales. The next series will open Nov. 2$. BOSTON, Oct. 6. The Boston Commercial Bulletin to-morrow will say: The activity in wool has continued throughout this week and the sales. which approach in volume those of last week, have been pretty well divided among the dealers. The mills are still running to their full ca pacity and the steady consumption of the raw material Keeps manufacturers steaany in the market, though they are a little less eager buyers than a few weeks ago. Probably their imme diate needs are less urgent. Dealers show the same Indifference at considering prices at all below the market that has characterized them for some time past, and the whole trend of values Is distinctly upward. London continues strong and higher, and our prices are not yet on a par with those prevailing there. Sales for the week are 5.364.100 bales domestic and 626.000 foreign, a total of 5,837.000 bales, against a total of 6.S97.00O last week and a total of 1.961.0CO bales for the corresponding week last year. Receipts to date show an increase of 293,334 bales domestic a de crease of 31,145 bales foreign as compared with last year. The sales to date show an increase of 122.972,100 bales domestic and 12,623,000 bales foreign. Batter, Eggs and Cheese. NEW YORK. Oct. 6.-Butter-Receipts. 2.314 packages.

Cattle The receipts of cat tle for five days show a decrease of about COO compared with the same time last week and over WO compared with the correspond ing time a year ago. The receipts to-day were 400 smaller than a week ago and near ly 1,000 smaller than a year ago, when about 1,900 head arrived. A larger proportion of the cattle than heretofore this week were good, and some were choice. There was a good attendance of buyers, and while there was no urgent demand the more desirable offerings changed hands at quotably steady prices. Stock not fat enough for killers were neglected and prices were generally unsatisfactory to owners.
