PANIC IN LONDON
But New York Stocks Less
- Affected by War Rumors.
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.

SEATTLE. Wash.. Oct. (Special.)
Under the heaviet supply of grapes ever
known In this market, prices went ofT to
day In the effort to effect some kind of a
cleanup. Steamer grapes from California
sold as low as 25 cents and the very fan
ciest stock did not command more than
75 centa Some fancy Eastern Washing
ton and Oregon grapes were held for bet
ter pricea, but the supply was not large.
Twelve cara of potatoes arrived today,
and coming on the overstocked condition
of the market, had anything but a bene
ficial effect. Yakima shippers are trying
to dispose of surplus stock In this market,
but so far local dealera have not encou--aged
Eastern growers to consign their stock
here. -
Egsrs were steadier today. Most houses
are trvlng to prevent the market from soar
ing, as they realize that material injury
has already been done. The demand for
egga haa been curtailed. The top today
was 45 cents.
The best live broilers the market af
fords sold today as low a. 15 cents.
Veal was barely steady. Eleven cents
represents about the top price.

WHEAT PIT EXCITED
Boisterous Trading in the
Chicago Market.
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:

NEW YORK, Oct. 9. Dun's Review of
Trad, tomorrow will say:
Substantial progress toward Industrial re
covery wa. made during the past week by
a large number of wage earners resuming
work in mills and factories that had been
wholly or partially Idle for many months.
Yet resumption Is by no means uniform,
many undertakings being deferred until after
th. election, and low water Is stIU the cause
of short time at many plants.
Contracts for finished steel are restricted
to current needs, but a large tonnage Is un
der negotiation. New projects are deferred
until after election, when much business will
be placed.
