WILLSON, Local Forecast Officl > EASTERN MARKETS. NEW YORK ETOCK MARKET. | NEW YORK, Oct. 18.—Prices of . stocks drifted sluggishly and to all appearances aim- Jessly all through to-day’s session. The almost stagnant condition of the market was scarcely | relieved by a single feature. Even the ‘“‘trust’ | stozks fell into neglect after a long period of | fluctuations. Tobacco was forced down at the | g on explicit announcements that the | lked-of plug tobacco combination had once more fallen through. There was injected into the dullest portion of the day’s trading two | euccessive transactions of 12,500 shares and 6000 | . shares respectively of Tobacco preferred at 115 “‘geller 30" This represented a transaction of | over §2.000,000 and was supposed to show the disposal of ke company’s treasury stock, ap- | piication for the listing of which was made | Festerday. The common stock was rather fever- ish for a time er this, but sett! down into steadiness and neglect. There was an upturn | in sugar also during the day, which was ex- | plained by the news that certain grades of soft | sugars had been advanced in price. Realizing subsequently wiped out practically all the ad- vance. The railroad list held generally firm | throughout the early part of the day, but sub- sequently egsed off in sympathy with sugar and | the Northern Pacifics. The daily attack on the coalers lacked vim and the decline only reached & point in New Jersey Central. The traffic statement of St. Paul for the second week in | October, showing an Increase over last year's earnings of nearly $140,000, is undoubtedly a pretty fair indication of what is going on in the grain-carrying roads. All reports agree that it is difficult to secure enough cars to meet the demand for the freight movement, both east and west bound. The speculative public apparently views these developments with apathy. The same apathy existed to-day in all the security markets of the world, the pause in London being attributed to waiting for | more settled political conditions and the com- pletion of liquidation in Berlin. The process of | accumulating exchange here is going on from | day to day and the banks continue to gain cash | from the sub-treasury. The final allotment of | Government 3s from Washington makes it frobable that Government deposits in national | anks will soon approach the $100,000,000 mark, | after which the deflcit in the revenues is ex- pected to steadily diminish their account.

CHICAGO GRAIN CHICAGO, Oct. 18.—An advance of 1@1%d m wheat at Liverpool over night, the reported concentration of a large body of Russian troops accessible to Peking, in addition to reports from New York that there were forty-two boat- loads of wheat engaged for export, stirred the cpening market for wheat and made a strong and lively affair of it. The stormy weather in the Northwest was an additional influence It soon developed, however, that in the face of this, influential people here were selling through brokers and commission firms. Then came a denial of the export business at the seaboard and there Were reports also that the exporting firms were undenlably taking profits on long wheat. The actual export clearings were not up to the usual high total and the primary market receipts indicated that the blg export business could be supplied and leave a surplus here besides. The early sales caused @ drifting down of the price and December, which cpened %@%c higher, at 6544@6%c, de- clined to 6ic.

Reports of serious frost damage to wheat in Argentine gave the market near thejclose quite a little strength. There was a considerable short interest and the shorts were rather uneasy about standing out over the jubilee holiday to-morrow. Trad- ers generally In the last few minutes bought wheat with such freedom that December was ers, an advance of l4c over yesterday. The strength developed by corn at the start was due largely 10 a sharp advance at Liver- pool. The storms also promised to check the arrivals and gave the bulls a chance to oper- ate with courage. There was considerable buy- ing at the outset, but it was met with realiz- ing later . The close was %@%c for the day for December. There was quite a large trade transacted in oats at higher prices. The market followed wheat and corn, May closing with an advance of_%e. Provisions opened firm in smypathy with grain, despite an easier hog market at the yards and large receipts here anu elsewherc.
