H. HAMMON, Forecast Official. NEW YOEK STOCK MARKET. EW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 8.—The bulls were apparently impressed with a belief at the opening of the stock market to-day that the beginning in force of the impor: movement on gold would effact # turn 1o the market and send prices upward Sgain after the long-susiained reaction. Their confidence was dissipated very soon afier noon and the market hecame almost lifeless. Business was of the lightest possible description and fluctu- atlons were nariow and unimportant. many prom- inent stocks being neglected. Sales for the day for all stocks were only 50.000 shares. The bears have apparently come to the end of their c m- paign and there is not a large buying contingent to take 5tocks even at the low level. The market seems, in fact. Lo have swung to a stapastill. The announcements mwde to-day of £0id engagements for import footed up & total of £6.350,000, 2nd of this amount all but $1.500,000 comes'from London. 1o-day’s engagement of #1.500.000 in Paris is the irst to come from that centeron the totsl movement, whicn now foots up $8.150,000 This is entirely at varisnce witn the prophesies made b> the financial authori 1ies who bave fore:od that London could easily be able to shift the demand for the gold from the TUhited States upon Parls, London has apparently viewed wilh creat equanimity the increasing de- mand non its go'd reserves. ‘The Bank of Enziand his gone 0d expanding 1ts oan in face of the tremendous drain npon its £0id. and po change was made on Thursday 1n its zate of discount. The open market discount in London hes remained about steady up to to-day, when 1t baidened siightly, and the same thing was irue in Paris in response to the gold engage. ments. ‘The ¢ffect in New York, while 1t was al- most unappreciatle on the stock market, was por- ceptible in the money and exchange market. Time money was distinctly eusier, rates being lower at 3 per cent for sixwv davs and up (0 4 per vent for four and six months. Actual rates of s.eriing excaunge advanced 14 ani posied rates 1y per cent. To-morrow’s bank statement s expectea to show a iess marked conrraction of loans and & smaller falliug off in deposits than hias been the case for the Lwo weeks past, as result of the demand for currency from the inierior. This demsnd bas been less during the week and the banks have not oven at thie necessity of cailing 1nso mauy loans 10 protec. their reserves.

Helping them just now is the fact that atter extraordiuary purchases for replenishment of stocks from ubout every section or town there nuit necessarl'y be for a time less buying from that quarter. Y et busiuess is still fncreasing. 1he productive force steadily eniarges, the distribution of wages affords au increasing fund for purchases, and the foundautions are lai1 for a Iarger business herearier. ‘The weea's exchauges are 8.8 per cent larger ihun in 1892, Crop report: s, who have widely differed. now agree in pu‘ting the yield of whezt about 580,000, 000 to 950,000,000 busheis, which is nesrly 200 000,000 bu hels more than' what s required for honie use, keeplug SLOCKS &S Lhey Were . u.v 1, Lie lowes: for scveral years As fore gn reports indi- cate a larger den and und _exports since July 1 have been nearly as bLeavy asin the best past year, with 2,885,764 bushe.s from tian.ic ports, tlour inciuded, for the iast week, sgainst 2,240, 571 Inst year, the recovery of 135¢ in price 1or week is 5ot Wichout reasou. ~wWesiern receipts continue 1o exceed lust year's—8,001,221 bushels, aguinst 7,243,969 for the weex.
