GOLD EXPORTS PROBABLE Recovery In Pricea Due to the Strength of Rock Island and the Harrimans, Following An nouncement or Note Plan. NEW YORK. Oct. t. Th. war cloud over Eastern Europe, was th. principal topic of consideration and Influenc In th. market to day, although th. eenter of th. disturbance In th. securities market .hlfted somewhat. The effect In New York was modified to some .xt.nt by counter factor. Yesterday, heavy selling her. of American securities seemed to be but th. passing along of or der, received from continental sources, and th. English capital wa. comparatively lit tle disturbed, so far as Its own money mar kets and securities were concerned. TodayB doings In th. London market were described In private cablegrams rjr celved In Wall street as almost panicky. Foreign exchange, all turned strongly In favor of London, tha movement being most marked her., but notably also at Berlin and pari.. Tha prioa of British consols was down a full point on. time during the day, and other Government securltiea in London ware acutely depreased. Th. ton. of tha sterling exchange market was called demoralized; so much so that hanker, were disinclined to undertake any drawings in view of the seeming Imminence of gold outgo. The bareness of this supply of bills was responsible, as well as the strength of the demand, for the disorderly movement of exchange. Demand sterling rose at one tlm. 60 points over the close yesterday and remittancea by cable wero about as much affected. Th. recovery was helped by the strength of Rock Island and the Harrlman issues, which was due to tha significance attached to the announcement of the provision for the $7,700,000 St. Louis A San Francisco notes, maturing on December 1. A favor able effect on sentiment waa to be expected from this relief from threatened embar rassment of an extended railroad system, especially with the assurance implied that next year's heavy note obligation of tho same system, smounting to over $22,000,000, would be similarly taken care of In due course. Good prospect for a permament re funding of this Indebtedness was inferred from this development, but the speculative element rushed to far wider Inferences from the fact that the provlalon for these notes was announced by the bankers who finance all the Important Harrlman financing and not by the Arm closest to tho Rock Island management. A new direction for Air. Har rlman'a supposed complex projects 'was thus Indicated to the speculative conjecture. This accounted for the prominence of Union Pa cific, Krle, Missouri Pacitic and such prop artles as Mr. Harrlman ha. been credited with designing for his helpful ministrations. As th. money market remained tranquil no attention was paid to the estimates of a cash outgo for tha week of over $3,000,000 Not only In the stock market, but also in foreign exchange. In British consols and In wheat there wa. reaction from the day's most violent excitement. Final prices of stock.. In fact, show little change from those of the day before. Bonds were weak. Total sales, par value, $8,666,000. United 8tatea bonda were un changed on call. CLOSINO STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing galea High. Low.

SALES OF LARGE VOLUME Urgent Demand for Flour and Cash Grain Prevents Any Sign of Weakness In Spite of the Unloading. CHICAGO. ' Oct.. 9 The wheat market opened excited and strong, with prices Vc higher than the previous close. The un settled political situation In Europe had aroused intense political enthusiasm among local wheat tradora and the demand for that cereal at the opening was extremely active. Within the first few minutes the Iecembwsr delivery had advanced to $1.01. and tho May option to $1.04, after open ing at $1.01 to $1.01 and $1.03 to $1.04, respectively. Higher prices for wheat at Liverpool added to the fears of a possible European war. At the sama time, the market was bulllshly affected by the continued drouth In the American Poutl west and in other sectiona of the Winter wheat belt. During the first hour, trading waa of A boisterous character, but at tha end of that time a lull came in the buying and with enormous sales, prices gradually eased off until they were below the opening quotations. The market, however, exhibited no signs of weakness, being buoyed up by tho urgent demand for flour and cash wheat In the Northwest. Trade during tho last hour was comparatively quiet and the mar ket closed firm with December at $1.00 ji 1 01 and May at $1.03. Trade in corn was rather limited In vol ume. During the first half of th session, a firm tone prevailed, owing to the strength of wheat Several cf the local longs were fair buyers and this caused moderate cov ering by shorta. Following tho decline in wheat, the corn market became easy. The close was at the lowest point of tho day. Oats were firm early In the day, but weakened during the last half hour and closed at the lowest point. Cash oats In the sample table section closed steady after ranging c higher early In th day. The market was Influenced by wheat and corn. Provisions were steady at the start, but eased off owing to the weakness of corn, and to selling by a local packer. At tho closa, prices were a shade to 12 c lower. Leading futures ranged as follows: WHEAT. Open. High. Low. Close.
