Weather Conditions

The rainstorm which crossed this section PHday and Saturday has now passed into the Atlantic, and generally fair weather prevailed over Sunday in the Ohio and 1 middie Mississippi valleys, where the previous f rains were very heavy. The clearing weather I was accompanied -by a decided drop in ! temperature, with heavy to killing frosts from Ohio, Indiana and Illinois southwest. I ward to Arkansas, Oklahoma and northern Texas, and frosts occurred again this mom- j tag in the Ohio valley. Light precipitation. ; mostly in the form of snow, has occurred ove*much of the northwest, and some rains have , fallen m the north Pacific states. Temperatures are now a little higher in the Mis- , ssasippi valley, but lower again to the north- ‘ em plains region and the Canadian northwest. | J. H. ARMING TON, Meteorologist.

$14.75 against ^

bulk of the sales at th« close of last week, but there were odd sales at $14.35 and a drove of 138 Hampshire hogs averaging 205 pounds brought the top price, $15.00. Hogs averaging a fraction leas than 180 pounds sold at 814.88 and few pigs averaging less than 140 pounds sold higher than 814.80. There was a sharp advance in prices of sows that sold up to 813.75. Some orders arrived after the supply of hogs had been exhausted and the

market closed estrong.

Cfcelee Cattle Steady.

Cattle, that were strictly A No. 1. and they were few, were steady but the market was lower on the bulk of the offerings sold to killers. Many. If not mostf of the cattle suitable for slaughter are $1.00 lower than in the early part of last week. Certain kinds are not showing the loss of the general market but such business is offset by other sales that are more than $1.00 low;er. Steers qualified to sell higher than $14.00, heifers above $12.00 and cows for more than $11.00 as well as the choice yearling cattle and the canner cows have shown comparatively little decline. The calf market was barely steady with top veals 117 00 and the feeder trade was nominally steady. There was only a fair clearance of the run of 1,100

I —November 8—

October established a record for dealings In stock* and bonds without parallel in fifteen years. Many new maxi mums were made by stocks which, a year ago, were known as "war brides,” but now are regarded as standard •'peace” Industrials. As has been the case for months, much of the trading last week was traceable to interior sources, which seem to be independent of local financial assistance. New capital offers for moderate amounts- are readily absorbed, but general Investment conditions are not materially altered, the bond market manifesting no appreciable tendency to throw off its long pre-

vailing heaviness. -

Henry Clews, New York banker, says; Active inflation of our banking system continues to be the noteworthy feature of the time. Although there waa a temporary improvement in the reserve percentage of the federal reserve systdm a week ago, it waa evidently the result of fortuitous conditions, the steady movement of funds being downwarti and out of the system. This again intensifies the speculative situation* because the margin between the legal required reserve of reserve banks and the actual gold holdings Is now becoming narrow. It Is not strange In these circumstances that call money should have reached a higher level, and that it should react toward that level I whenever there Is any excessive demand for funds for the carrying of shares or other speculative commitments. This has been the I experience throughout the last month, as the figures clearly show, and today the prospect is for an even more active process of restraining undue speculation through the application of high rates than has been ob-

servable In the past.

Chicago Tribune: Considerable confusion has resulted over the return to the individual permit system of moving grain. Application for permits can be made only by shipper at point, of origin. It must be in writing and on 1 prescribed form and must be transmitted by the railroad agent at point of origin to grain control committee at destination. They can be used only by the parties authorized therein and fer the kind of grain specified. All permits granted will be transmitted by the grain control committee directly to railroad agent at point of shipment, who will note thereto the date of receipt and Immediately notify shipper that permit has been granted. Shipments moving on permits can not be reconskgned from one market to another and are not transferable and must be for the kind of grain specified. Cars must not be loaded for Chicago, Milwaukee, or other primary markets embraced in the permit system until the necessary permit is granted. C. I. Hudson & Co., New York: New railroad funds can not be attracted from the Investment markets unless the new railroad legislation to come out of congress establishes a sound basis for public confidence in the ability of our railroads to make fair profits under good management. Chicago grain views; Bartlett-Fraxier—The action of the corn market confirms our belief of the seriousness of the car shortage. Hulburd-Warren—The small movement and a large investment demand would create an almost irrresUtlble bull movement for a time at least. Press & Co.—There is enough corn to go around, but a shortage of cars for moving corn in time for December delivery is possible. ;

j Thomson & McKinnon: Cotton—Opinion genM ! orally bullish. The difficulty in securing deS j sirable grades of cotton has prompted spot 1 merchants to hedge transactions in the late months. This merely postpones the day of settlement. If cotton is to be scarce in De-

cember. how will it be in May?

The action of December corn is not due to any artificial or unnatural market -conditions, but is simply logical recognition of market for current receipts, light accumulations, the reluctant selling of the country, csr shortage and possible difficulties in transportation. Contract grades of corn are well over *1.40 with no discoverable indication of sufficient increase in the movement

to bring declining prices.

The popular thing now is to buy stocks on hook value. It is the big argument the trade offers for the advance that has occurred in all the leaders, and particularly Crucible and Baldwin and. more recently. Republic. If intnnsic value is going to be the basis, what’s the matter with United States Steel? It will take second place to
