IMPROVEMENT IN EUROPE Kstlinatid Ierrcae or Three Million Bushels Tor the Week in World's Shipments Kastern Buying Is Xot Resumed. Th undertone of :he wheat markit howed a considerable flesre of Improve ment yesterday.

This was taken to n fllcate a falling r(T In the Russian movement and the probability that the heavy ship ments frrm that country are Bearing an end. Tho day's cables showed the English mar ket to be a llt'le firmer, with rather more Inquiry for cargoes. The Improvement is the expected reaction after tha reient slump Prices on this Coast were not much af fected by the European decline and with the turn In the tide, there has been no ma terial change In values. For club wheat 92 cents was offered yesterday, red Russian was quoted at 90 cents and 40-fold at M r-ents. Bluestem continued strons; with bids at' 1.02 and possibly more obtainable on choice milling offerings. Trade during the ay was on a light scale.

EXCHANGE RATE IS HIGH Exports to Europe May Start Xext AVeek Stock Market In an Uncertain Mood Selling for London. NEW YORK. Oct. 20. The stock market today repeated Its action of several days preceding. Heavy selling pressure was In evidence while the foregoing stock exchanges were In sej-slon. When closing time had ar rived, this pressure subsided and made way for some recovery in prices. The dominant influence in all financial markets continued to be the Ixjndon money position, as directed by the Bank of Eng land's action. The rise in private discount rates In London proved that the Bank of England found the power to make Its higher rate effective and to maintain its control of the open money market. This gave added Influence to the admonitory advances from London of th determination of the bank authorities to protect the banking resources of that center from further Inroads by for eign borrowers or seekers for gold reserve. The rapid advance in foreign exchange rates In the New York market continued and engagements were announced of gold for shipment to South American and Canadian account. Negotiations were reported to he In progress looking toward gold exports to Europe next week. Foreign exchange re acted sharply at last. The money market here was not unsffected by these develop ments, especially the time loan department. Much of the selling of stocks here was di rected for London account. The week's higher money rates apparently had onerated to attract, considerable amounts of bankcesh from other points. The sub treasury operations, meantime, have not been burdensome on the banks, have yield ed a nominal sum to those Institutions, com pared with withdrawals last week of over $5,000,000. It Is estimated that the banks have gained In the neighborhood of 13.O00.00O In cash from various sources during the week. How the week's operations In the foreign ex change market may have affected the loan Item will be studied with great Interest upon the' appearance of the bank statement to morrow. This doubtful factor may have had to do with the fresh selling of stocks late In the day, which closed the market weak and at the lowest. Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value. $3,310,000. United States, bond were un chsnged on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales. High. Low. Bid. Allta Chalmers pf loo 51 Slj 61',i Amal Copper S5.-.h H)i ku;a Am Agricultural ..

ALL TRADE REPORTS GOOD Liquor Business Shows More Life, Due Partly to the Increased Payrolls In the Gen eral Industries. NEW YORK", (?ct. 22. Bradstreets' to morrow will say: Trade and Industrial developments are largely favorable. Continued cold weather furnishes a market stimulus to demand for heavy wearing apparel, dry goods clothing and shoes. After a long spell of dulneas. the liquor trades are also displaying more life, which may be variously attributed to weather in fluences or to renewal of consumption made possible bv improved payrolls in the general Industrlea. There L still evidence of conservatism, bred of higher prices asked for cotton goods for distant delivery, but the tendency is still upward and staple products are selling better at advanced prices. In the Eastern shoe trade the strength of leather and the advanced cost of shoe production, also are giving manufacturers concern. Iron and steel easily lead with record pro duction for the season. Business failures for the week ending with October 21 In the I'nlted States were 244.agalnst 220 lost week, 231 In the like week of 1908. 220 in m"7. 184. in 1906 and 178 in 1005.

For the 16 week ending Oc tober 21, corn exports are 2,184.237 bushels against 989,604 last year. DEVELOPMENT OF PROSPERITY. Main Reason for the advance In Kngllsh Bank Rate. NEW TORK, Oct. 23. R. O. Dun Co.'s weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:' Overshadowing all other developments for the week Is the advance In the Bsnk- of England rat of discount to 5 per cent. There ere special reasons for the advance, such as England's desire to protect her gold supply and the banking caution against the danger of over-speculation, but, In the main, the advance is a development of pros perity. In the United States, every report of the week ranges from moderaeje Improvement to extraordinary buoyancy. The advices from the leading cities are uniformly favor able. Prices on fabrics are rising and the acute conditions In cotton, growing out of high cotton costs, are being met by agreement to curtail. New England boot and shoe manufacturers are securing falr-slsed Spring contracts in the; West and South, but cur rent business oh Fall orders continues to ba.jnoderate. Bank Clearings.

Attributed to -Shippers Holding Back In Anticipation of lower Freight Kates. SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 52. (Special.) Owing to the cut In freight rates on grain effective November 1. shippers are holding back shipments In th country. As a re sult, receipts here are the smallest of the season and in hay and coarse cereals are causing considerable firmness. Spot oats are easily worth $;8.50 and barley brings as high as $!.50. Since the falling off in the Eastern demand for club wheat th price on that variety has dropped to 92 cents here. The best that was offered for milling bluestem was $1.0S, although the market waa stronger than yesterday. East ern flours were advanced today in this mar ket. Twenty-four hundred crates of grapes ar rived today, but being rather green the price of Tokays moved up to $1.J5. A car of cold storsge peaches was distributed this morning. Jobbing at $1.25. The fruit was not very fancy and moved slowly. An effort Is being made by sweet potato dealers to girt" together and advance the price, but $1.50 wa quoted all day today, however. " Not enough turkeys could be secured In Portland today to meet tomorrow's require ments. Owing to the fact that packers have brought In large stocks of veal the market Is oft with 12 cents now the top. Butter la still weak.
