NEW YORK, Oct. 11—The bears had hard work to make & living in to-day’s stock mar- ket, notwithstanding great diligence and per- serverance. The majority of the standard stocks offered a very firm resistance to the ef- forts to effect & reaction, and the number of stocks in which any notable price movement could be obtained was very small. The indus- trall specialties were the only stocks on the list that showed any disposition to move wide- ly. It was a room traders market and the motives which impelled these generally to buy and sell stock were probably beyond the un- initiated to fathom. For instance, it was ascertained by some oc- cult reasoning or information that the recent borrowing demand for Sugar certificates was for account,of sellers of loug stock, who wished to copceal their operations, and not at all, as would naturally be supposed, of the bears Who %ad sold short and had to borrow stock for de- iivery. A fall in the borrowing premium of the certificates, because the sellers had re- turned the borrowings, served to disclose this wily proceeding to the short turn stock am- blers, and they hastened to put out short lines of Sugar with a resulting fall in the price of nearly 2 points. Later in the day these saplent specalators bought back what they had sold. The reason adduced for selling the Rubber stocks was a report that a recently discovered substitute for rubber was about to be exploited by a new corporation. Tobacco ranged over nearly 6 points with no news to account for ft. The coalers, which are a perpetual target for bear hammering, were raided down from 1 to 2 per cent on the general depression in the Anthracite industry and other specialties were subjects of individual treatment. Then man- euvers of the professional bears had aston- ishingly little influence on railroad stocks. The demand for these secuerities was small, but there was no disposition to sell. There was a subsidence of apprehension over Anglo-French relations. Rentes rose sharply. The bond market was dull and easier with the exception of & few gllt-edged issues. Total sales, $1,670,000. Government bonds Were unchanged in the bid price. There were sales of 3s coupons at 10%. The total sales of stocks to-day were 293,300 shares, including: Atchison preferred, 5305; Bur- Ungton, $342; Lake Erie and Western preferred, 8477, Manhattan, 5805; Northern Pacific, 26,- 070;’ Rock Isiand, 5020: Union Pacific, = 3820 Union Pacific preferred, 4008; St. Paul, 11,353 Tobacco, 34,150; Chicago and Great Western, 4225; People's Gas, 6075; Sugar, 92,480; Leather preferred, 5770; Rubber, 4596.

NEW YORK, Oct 11.—Bradstreet’s statement of the world's avallable supply is delayed until to-morrow in consequence of the non-receipt of some telegraphic advices. CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET. CHICAGO, Oct. 11.—The excitement regarding the Nile country having apparently subsided the wheat market at the start began to drop back into the rut from which the alleged war news had rescued it. There was also a cur- rent beltef among professional specuiators that the price was a little too high without the sustaining influence of export business cr xome similar important item. As a consequence considerable pressure was put on from the start and there being no material volume of buying to counteract it the tendency was stead- 1ly but slowly downward. Liverpool opened unchanged, then ranged a trific higher and finally closed weak at & l0ss of %@%d. Though the pressure from the professional element was sufficient to depress the price to the lavel which puts had been sold the opposition which these offered seemed sufficient to prevent any further decline. Thers was a stiff cash market at Minneapolis and prices were quoted %@lc higher than yesterday. A8 the session advanced the indications became numerous that the early selling by the professionals had been some- What overdone and prices took an up-turn. Local flour exporters said that all their of- ferings of flour to the United Kingdom yes- terday had been accepted and reported sales of 156,000 bushels cash spring wheat o Liverpool irect to-day. New York meanwhile swelled her exports to seventy-five boat loads and the corn market was setting a pace which made the wheat bulls ashamed of themselves. As the spirits of the bulls rose those of their op- nents drooped, and it was not, therefore, & (ificult matter to start them scrambling after wheat. During the excitement that followed the high price of the session was reached. De- cember %@%c higher. Corn was the strongest market on the floor.
