It was offered as an cr planaticn that the eve of the Jewish I day of atonement called many brokers and operators from the street but there was apart from this a disposition I to refrain from trading and to leave er etfll fallow for a time I Yesterdays sharp reaction apparently admonished the hulls that the conditions I condi-tions are not yet ready for a resumption resump-tion of the advance The favorable factors vlilch developed during the UiVj I although they affected for a time the individual stocks to which they applied ap-plied were ineffective in causing a I general advance and yrices of most stocks closed lower tonight I STOCKS SCORE A GAIN exceptionally firm Union Pacific was ec I and practically recovered from yester Ida I-da s decline owing to the dlscredtt I attaching to

showing of earnings All of the iiific statements at hand showed notable I no-table increases in earnings but not all the stocks of the reads affected derived I any benefit Union rociiic was assisted assist-ed as well by a report that its differences differ-ences over the traffic exchange with the Oregon Short Line had been adjusted ad-justed and the latter stock was also strong during the day The principal activity centered in the specialties and the trading in them was largely based on vague rumors that had nothing to do with the general situation Actual rates for sterling exchange fell ii for sight and U for long This led to increased talk of early gold imports im-ports In this connection it is interesting Interest-ing to know that todays statement of the weeks export of general merchandise merchan-dise shows a decrease af g 450773 from last weel while that weeks imports it will be remembered increased 1 882301 over the precedes week Additional Ad-ditional deposits of cold which were received from San Francisco were made at a clearing house bank today and the continued increase of the gold reserve re-serve in the United States treasury even in the face of an excess of

American bills were frosty offered today I to-day for discount The Pails and Berlin markets were firm firmVienna Vienna bourse was calm considering the heavy failure on Vienna CHICAGO WHEAT ADVANCED Drought Throughout the Northwest Please tho Bulls Chicago Oct Drought at home I and strong markets abroad were the influences which were uppermost in the wheat market when business began Buyers took hold with more confidence while short sellers and in fact all kinds of sellers were inclined to be more cautious The Liverpool cables opened at an advance of d over last nights closing prices In the pit there were buying orders for December wheat coming direct from Paris though the quantity thus bought was not large enough to attract attention The predictions pre-dictions for continued fair weather for the next 36 hours in all lnter and spring wheat territory was very disappointing disap-pointing to those who had expected yesterdays light showers in the northwest north-west would became heavier and extend ex-tend down into the winter wheat country coun-try The fact that northwest rec ii > ts to offset were large was not sufficient the effect of the dry weather THE ADVANCES ABROAD The closing advance in Paris was equal to lsc Liverpool was up I1f and Antwerp 1h Todays seaboard engagements en-gagements were reported at 68 carloads The weekly report of the Great Xorlhern road confirmed those of a large number of correspondents covering cover-ing a wide area in the northwest tf > at their showing returns had a disappointing disap-pointing effect and the pievuu e mates would have to be reduced The very sharp spurt in the price at Du Mitts gave color to the stories It grew very strong toward the close due to the firmness of the foreign markets I December sold up to 91 and closed flrm at that price CORN AND OATS GO UP Corn was strong in sympathy with wheat and good general buying It closed c higher Oats were firm affected somewhat by the wheat advance but also largely by the drought The demand dropped oft later and part of the advance was I lost Provisions were very slow The I opening was lower because of liberal II receIpts of hogs here and the lower yard prices
