Cattle Receipts, 300; shipments, 100. There was another liberal run of cattle this week, the total showing an Increase of 7"0 over last week, nearly 3,500 over the same week a year ago, 1,!0 over the corresponding week two years ago and a decrease of about 1,000 compared with the record established two weeks ago. The receipts thus far this ytar show an increase of nearly 50,000 over the same period last year. The arrivals were characterized by the small number of really good cattle and there was almost a total absence of stock good enough to command extreme prices. A very large percentage of the offerings were below the requirements of the butchers in quality and flesh, and tho quality of the feeding cattle represented was hardly as good as wanted at this time, therefore, the conditions were favorable for a very dull trade and final results were as unsatisfactory as they have betn at any time herstofore this season. Buyers being displeased by the excessive supply of common stock were Inclined to discriminate against desirable cattle more than usual and there was probably no time In the week when It was easy to sell even the good stock at what salesmen considered their market value. At the close of the week it was apparent that local slaughtering establishments who are recognized as the principal support of the market were very well supplied with all kinds of cuttle and this being considered, the outlook for a near future is not most encouraging to salesmen. It is possible that the falling off in the receipts of common cattle would be rather a ben tit to the trade, but with the knowledge that prices of good stock aro in a high position for this season cf the year dealers are not inclined to expect any improvement. During the week the shrinklarger than the average for Saturday and there was no Improvement to note In the quality. Tho demand from all sources was unimportant and the market was considered age in values of good stock was variously estimated at from loc to 25c and there were probably few sales of any of the less desirable kinds that did not show at least 25c decline. Native steers sold as high as $6, Texas, $3.13; heifers, $5; cows, 11.23, and calves, J.50. The receipts to-day were the dullest of the week.

The rceipts of hogs this week have been more liberal, the total showing a gain of nearly 2.5CO over the last week, a slight improvement over the same week a year ago and a decrease of about 2.0u0 compared with the corresponding week two years ago. Thus far this year the riceipts are nearly 81,000 larger than the same period last year. For the week ending yesterday local packers bought a total of 13.22'. against 1G.S49 the preceding week ami 20,163 the same week a year ago. During the same period the shipments were 5.5o against 3.4:4 the preceding week and 4.uk) the corresponding week a. year ago. The hog market this week is one that will be remembered, by shippers, not from any good they have received, but the reverse. The week opened with a decidedly lower tendency, and later buyers chopped off prices In chunks. On one day sales were as much as 4c lower, which is probably the greatest decline recorded In one day since the latter part of July, ImC. Shippers were unable to get liberal orders and packers evidently were determined to force, prices to the farthest point possible to see what effect it might have on the country. Therefore salesmen were unable to regain much of the decline, even when the conditions elsewhere justitied a Utter market here, and the result was rather an unsatisfactory trade the latter part of the week From Monday to Wednesday heavy hogs sold off 45c, while ordinary light kinds at the low point were nearly lower than the close of last week. From We.lnesd ly to the close of the week the market was Irregular, some sales being registered at an advance In pricts. while others showed more weakness, and at the extreme tlos of the week there was not much change in prices compared with Wednesday exetpt there was a little closer range on account of an absence of the very common liht hogs that had been bringing the lowest prices. The highest pri; e paid for hoijs this wek was $i.S5 and the lowest top pri;- as 56.50. The receipts to-day were of comparatively fair volume for Saturday, and th quality, if any different, was better than the average for several days. At hast there was no common light hogs reported at extreme low prices. The market opened with some Inquiry from all buyers, and the tint transactions indicated littl more strength In the market than yesterday. It was soon evident, however, that packers were not favorable to any advance, and when the more important shipping orders had bet n niid the trading was very dull and the ulddlng IORr. It is a fact that in some instance packers bid JT.c less than was offered for the same kinds on the opening

Nationa Foreign Money BousrhtandSold The result was that salesmen were forced to carry over a few loads of good hogs, as they would not be justitied in accepting such prices. The general market for the day was not up to the expectations of salesmen, and there was nothing to warrant the belief that higher prices will be realized in the near future. Sales ranged from ?a.D0 to ?'150.

The marketing of sheep and lambs thi3 week was also comparatively liberal, there being an inert aso of l.SoO over last week. 3.SJ over the same week n 'j ear aeo, 4.1UO over the corresponding week two years ago, and they are the largest week's receipts since the week ending July 20, when about l.ooo more arrived than this week. Thus far this year the receipts are 47,0 larger than during the same period last year. 'Ihe first half of the week shippers were the principal support of the market and paid quotably steady prices for all good kinds. They were favored, however, with a larger proportion of that class and discriminated against others to the extent of reducing prices at least 25c per 100 lbs. Later In the week, with more unfavorable conditions reported in Eastern markets, shippers were bidding lower here, and finally succeeded In filling their requirements at ciuotably 5c lower prices for all kinds than those current at the close of last week. There was an Increased demand, however, from local butchers the latter half of the week, and generally they were forced to pay about steady prices for a class of stock wanted, which was the better jrade ef lambs. During the week lambs sold up to $4.CO(3, but at all times $4.30 was considered practically tho top, and at the close of the week there was none selling above that price. In fact, the highest price reported yesterday was $4.25. There were occasional sales of sheep above $123, but that was considered a top price, and a large proportion of the supply sold around ILTSa 3. A small number arrived for the market to-day, and the supply was exhausted early at steady prices compared with yesterday. The highest price reported for lambs was $4.25 and sheep $3.

FUTURE OF SPECULATION

IT IS i:CITIG CR AYR DISCISSION IX WAL I j STItKHT. AntoRonistic Ylev on the Situation Money Mnrket Conlitins Satnrtlny'ii l'rice 3Iovement. NEW YORK, Oct. 12. The cause of. the relapse or prices In to-day's stock market was not altogether clear, but the same was true of the sudden advance of yesterday and the day before. Distrust of that movement and Incredulity as to the rumors which were afloat to account for it be cause of some intrinsic grounds of lmprob- ! ability seemed to be the reason for to-day's reaction. St. Paul was lifted again and again by main force to the neighborhood of 1G7, but the last price was 1C48. only a shade above the lowest. The course of that stock formed an epitome of the whole market. The central and southern transcontinental stocks were nearest to It in point of activity, but the advance showed a tendency to spread beyond yesterday's narrower limits until the enormous realizing forced prices back. Prices generally show losses on the day running from 1 to 1?4 in the leaders and from that up to S"i In St. Paul and the local traction stocks, which were notably weak. The decreased loan item of the banks failed to show the full effect of the repayment during the week of some $j,KO,0) of New York city revenue warrants, and the supposition was therefore made that foreign bankers continue their borrowing in the local market to repay foreign borrowings. The disturbance In the Paris money market points to the likelihood of a continuance of this process. The market closed weak at the lowest. There has been some upward action in the stock market during the week, following the rather prolonged period of depression. Tho pressure of liquidation was relaxed during the early days of the week, but there was manifest hesitation about taking up the movement for an advance, and even the uncovered bears were not apparently in great haste to cover their short contracts. For several days the market wavered before a pronounced advance drove the bears to cover. The opposing arguments of the speculative element now represent the belief on the one hand that the depression in the stock market had no other cause than the depletion of money supplies by the autumn requirements, and on the other hand the apprehension that the last great cycle of prosperity has reached Its crest, with a prospect of gradual decline and shrinkage of business and earnings to be faced. The first named element is confident that the season's Interior requirements for money are about satisfied, or that he banks are In possession of sufficient resources at present to meet the demands without forcing further liquidation in the stock market. The employment of hundreds of millions of dollars by capitalists and syndicates in the furtherance of communlty-of-interest projects among the railroads and in the formation of the United States Steel Corporation was well known to the public, and there? were self-congratulations upon the unruffled composure of our money market under the unprecedented demands put upon it. The summer's events indicate that not only our own money market, but those of pretty much the whole world besides, were drawn upon to provide the credits for the gigantic undertakings of American syndicates. These foreign borrowings have apparently involved the sale of bankers exchange bills of distant maturities, which were left uncovered, relying upon the autumn outward movement of merchandise to replenish the supply of exchange and enable them to cover. The belated movement of cotton, the decreased corn exports and the falling off in manufactured products, especially Iron and copper, have kept down the supply of exchange and have made this repayment of foreign loans especially effective in sustaining the exchange market and keeping it away from the gold import point. Moreover, the repayment of these foreign loans has been followed to a large extent by borrowing in this market, so that the loan account of the New York banks has been maintained in spite of the extensive liquidatioh !n the market. These are symptoms of the extensive lockup of capital not to be Ignored and they bring forward the problem of how far the year's great llnancial projects will warrant the sanguine expectations of them during the speculative excitement of last j ear. The future of the market Is by no means clear, although the usual upward reactions which are normal to any decline In stocks are bound to occur. Among the doubtful factors to be reckoned with, one of the most Important Is the ultimate eftect on our industries of the stagnation and depression In foreign industries, notably In Germany and Russia. The actual effect of the shortage in the corn crop is yet to be shown. Hailroad earnings are still in excess of last year, both for gross and net, but the ratio of increase is declining. Kxpert views on the outlook in the Iron industry are not at all sanguine. Railroad bonds have been In better demand at some advance In prices. United States new fours advanced per cent, over the closing call of last week. Following are Saturday's share sales and the recorded price changes:

The Financier says: "The statement was again made on rising averages Tor cash, as has been the case in recent weeks. The subtreasury paid $4.0,000 on Friday for Yukon gold and there were other payments by this offlce which materially added to the banks' cash at the end of the week. More Yukon gold is now in process of transfer hither from the Pacific coast. Tills will be received early in the current week, and there are about $000,000 of maturing bonds which have been accepted by the secretary of thu treasury, which bonds will arrive by the incoming Euiopean steamers. It would seem probctble, therefore, that the banks will begin t'h new week with a supply of cash greater than that shown by the statement. The payments of municipal taxes last week were about $25,0o0,0u0, and this amount of tax warrants will be at once liquidated. The fact that the loan item did not fully reflect this large liquidation would seem to show that the greater part of the money released through payment of the warrants was immediately reloaned. Thi would indicate a disposition on the part or the banks to expand loans, which they would seem to be Justified in doing conidering the comparatively large surplus reserve now being carried. It is noteworthy that the scale of operations of the subtreasury last week resulted in a loss to the banks of $2,070,700. These excess receipts over disbursements will doubtless inertase. tending ultimately to an important decline of bank reserves. It Is unlikely, however for the reasons above noted that this absorption of surplus by the treasury will "hav a deranging eueci on Dank conditions lr the near future lItIVATI2 AVI HE ADVICES. A'ery Good Mnrket for Saturday AVeek of Tlnll Tradln; Expected. Grar.per I'arr.-ftll & Co.'s Telegram. NEW YORK. Oct. 12.-To-day's stock market was active, nervous and Irregular, with a tendency to fall off before th back statement came out. After it appeared prices declined on realizing sales. The bank statement was lavorable and about as expected, but room traders expected to market their holdings, which in some casts were quite heavy, on its appearance. Thi-i condition was so general that it resulted in quite sharp declines from the outside prices of the day. The reaction was to be expected, ami the preponderance of sentiment in the street seems to be that it will make conditions better for a bull market next week, which is expected. A prominent feature to-day was selling of a good character in Union Pacific, probably with the intention of replacing on any reaction. St. Paul opened wide. 1.. shares being bid for and selling at lt7, while at the same time it sold for 1jü on another lde of the crowd. This stock was vry nervous und many affirmations and denial of Impending deals wer made. In this respect the market clostly resembled the Rurllngton deal of last spring. The old story of a deal between Atchison and Pennsylvania 1 being revived and Sunday papers probably will , be nllei with cossip concerning deals iu many crot:-

ertles. Commission business was very fair lor Saturday, and probably will increase with continue u activity. Itninor of North western Deal. Meyer & Klser's Telegram. NEW YORK, Oct. 12. The trend of prices for Americans in London was evidently not governed by the strength of our market at the close yesterday. London quotations, with the single exception of St. Paul, which was Vi below our closing, were about parity. Steel and Copper stocks there were firm. The copper market also showed improvement. Commission houses were prominent, while the selling came principally from weak and small holders. .One factor in speculation is the report current that Standard Oil interests have shifted their market position and are now ranged on the bull side of the market. Naturally this has Influenced a great many traders to take the long side of the market. Traction stocks did not show much strength, there being a strong disposition to realize. Further belief exists that the reported Northwest deal is in course of formation of a proprietary corpoatlon, or some other deal. AVhile these reports lack official confirmation, the fact exists that financiers closely identified with one of the leading rtnanclal Interests in this deal are quoted as saying it is in progress, but has not fully developed. The market kept its strength pretty near all morning, especially when the bank statement was issued.

FAIR DEMAND FOR WHEAT THAT CEREAL CLOSES AT A FRACTIONAL ADVANCE. ProviMions Also Make Good Gains, but Corn and Oats Finish the Hay at Declines. CHICAGO. Oct. 12. Scarcity of offerings and a fair outside demand for wheat gave an upward turn to markets to-day and December wheat closed a shade higher, corn ?c down, oats a shade lower and provisions 10c to, 17Vic higher. At the outset the wheat pit felt the depressing infiuenco of disappointing cables. The advance here yesterday had met with no response and December opened He to c lower, at C3c to C3?fi6jc. Offerings were liberal at the start, but the actual selling was only on a small scale and of a nature that Indicated a desire on the part of buyers to depress the market with a view to buying in again. Commission houses began to buy and a report of a good demand for the Southwest and New York brought an upshoot in prices until December sold at 7GsC Local traders also helped by considerable buying, but toward the end of the short session profit taking cased the market and December closed steady and a shade hisher at 70Ö70HC. Local receipts were 150 cars, none of contract grade. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 704 cars, a total for the three points of S54, against 947 last week and CS6 a year ago. Primary receipts were 1,023,000 bushels, compared with last year's 973,0u0. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour equaled 773,000 bushels. Australian shipments for the week were only 80,030 bushels, against 3S4.0"0 last week. Corn lost the greater part of the bullish influence of the official crop report, which advanced prices yesterday, and on indifferent cables December opened HQUc. lower. Trade was dull at the start and offerings were rather liberal, which tended toward a further decline had it not been arrested by the quick bulge in wheat. Corn began to improve at once with the better grain, especially May, and December soon sold at 57Uc On the small reactions there was buying for the outside account and on the hard spots professionals sold. There seemed to be a considerable short interest to cover, but the feeling prevailed that the rise in prices was not natural and December sagged rapidly at the end, closing weak and c lower, at 56Vc. Receipts were 250 cars. A range of Uc in December oats indicates the dull and narrow nature of the market. Trading was nearly all scalping, with a trifling response to the action of other grains. December closed a shade down at 35c. Receipts were 17S cars. Provisions were higher from the start, not so much from any particular demand as from the cessation of the outside liquidation that has been depressing prices for over a week. Hogs were scarce and January pork opened 5c higher, at $15.10S 15.15, selling to $15.30 and closing 17l,iC higher, at $15.22V2. Lard closed 10c higher, at $J.07!2, and ribs 10i12V2c up. at $7.95'(t7.97H. Estimated receipts for Monday Wheat, 135 cars; oats, 220; corn. 275; hogs, 26,000 head. Leading futures ranged as follows:

It has heen Raid that Admiral Dewey was made prisoner during: the civil war at the time the- gunboat Mississippi was 'destroyed by the Confederates. The admiral says this is not true. "I was not captured." said he. when asked about the matt r. "when the Mississippi was run aground and burned. About 15o of our men were captured, but the captain and I managed to pull away in a boat down the river and escaped capture. I have seen the statement made several time lately and am lad to say that it is entirely incorrect- 1 fcavo nver Uvea a captive."
