not be considered as sufficient to estab-

as high as $1.50 In a. limited way. but
show no disposition to sejj.
No bids gre showing for carload lot and
there is some question ag to whether as high

Forcing Wheat Up
In Option Market
Chicago, Oct 22. (L N. &) A brisk
renewal of export demand last night and
today with Italy, Belgium and Switzer
land taking over 2,000,000 bushels of
wheat, led to a wave of short covering
and buying by houses with Eastern con
nections that carried all grains to
sharply higher prices for the session. A
cargo of flour was also worked to Greece
and one to Sweden.
Resting orders were at gains of 4c
for December wheat and 66Vic upfor
March. December corn closed lc
higher. May 1H to Vc advance. De
cember oats finished c higher and May
tt to 4i up.
Provions gained during the last hour
on short, covering but closed lower for
the day.
Chicago. Oct. 22. (I. N. 8.) Grain trad
waa moderate at the start this morning with
all leading bouses having small selling order
and local professionals disposed to press the
selling. December started 1 H to 1 4 c lower
and March He higher to lc lower.
Local professionals and bears pressed the
selling aide of the com market at the opening,
wbioh was unohanged to He higher for Decem
ber and Ho lower to He higher for May.
Buying was scattered.
Oats started unchanged with selling by locals
and a light trade.
Provisions were steady to a shad lower, re
flecting a weak hog market.

Ntw Tor. Oct. J 2. Th resist
ance maintained by the stock mar
ket to the unfavorable foreign news
today was considered more eignlfl
cant than the decline in quotations
of from onefbto two points.
The failure of prices to break sharply
following cables from London that the
Britlah railway employee would strike
Sunday unless negotiations had been
opened for a settlement of the coal
strike waa accepted aa proof of the

were made near the beginning of the
last hour. In the -last half hour, how
ever, a slight rally developed due to
covering by professional shorts. The
close was Irregular.
Call money loaned at 7 per cent all
day. Shortly after the close a small
amount was loaned at 8 per cent.
Large commission houses say there la
practically no participation by the pub
lic in the market. This la proven by
the fact that the amount of their bor
rowings fails to show any expansion:
Partners of the .big firms say they do
not look for any increased tntereat until
cfter election -
