THOUGH QUIET, IT IS IN A HEALTHY CONDITION. reular of Henry Clews say “Activity in the bond market s ordinarily fol- lowed by recovery in the stock market; and that seems to be the chief reason for the bet- ter feeling in stocks that has been steadily galning ground during the week. Another help- ful factor has been the fact of very large o ders having been received for the export of wheat, which has caused a sharp revival of the forwarding movement in that staple. This has been followed by an advance in the Bank of England rate of discount to 4 per cent, which has checked & revival of the tendency toward imports of gold. These factors e only slightly affected stocks; but, should the European buying of wheat be kept up at the present rate, the earnings of the Western roads may induce a freer buying of securities. For however, we have only a with no indication of out- sperators taking an activd The New York the time being, traders’ market, siders or large local interest on the ‘bull’ side. ““There has been, in some quarters, & good deal of loose talk about the condition of trade, which has encouraged the ‘b and led some ‘bulls’ to keep out of the market. The facts in the case are that, in the West and Southwest, business ,_extraordin- | erily active and Even in ths | South—which many med must suffer | severely from 5 cent cotton—business is falrly active, and the best opinion there is to the effect that, owing to the large reductions made in the cost of growing the staple, it can be sold at that p derate profit. The planter: ve widely emancipated on to the factors by raising their own corn, pork and other arti- cles of subsistence; which means that, at last, the South has placed itself on the highway to prosperity. S Jlaint, however, comes | from the distri d the railroads affected by | the yellow fe ch is relatively a small affair. ““To tell the truth, the themselves from subjec talk about dullness of trade is a_purely local misconception.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—Only few days In the history of the Stock Exchange can offer such a record of dull and apathy as that of to-day. The industrials still continued to lead the market in volume of transactions, but even in them business was comparatively in- significant. The somewhat acute depression in to-day’s foreign exchange on account of fears that there was a possibility for mischief in the French-English controversy over the title to the upper Nile was reflected here and drove prices down a sharp fraction at the opening. The market was so utterly sluggish and apathetic that there was no possibility of retrieving this early decline and prices dragged along at the lower level throughout the day. Not the least disquieting feature of the weakness of securities in foreign markets is the vagueness of the ex- gllhallon!. All the favorable factors in the usiness outlook are ignored and there is no aggressive leadersh!p forthcoming for a bull campaign. It is very evident, however, thi stocks are very closely held, so that the dull- ness of the market gives it an undertone of strength. Lake Erle and Western preferred re- flected doubts over the dividend which was to be acted upon at noon by an early dip of Tig and a subsequent rally of 10 points when the declaration of the regular dividend was an- nounced. There were sharp declines in Lacka- wanna, New York Air Brake and Hawaian Commercial and some strengthening in Amer- ican Steel and Wire and Manhattan and a few railroad stocks. The bond market was as dull as the stock | market, but prices were better maintained. $1,615,000. | tates old and new 4s and the bs - | istered advanced % in the bid price for l’:{e registered issues.

They opened | dull, and prices steadily dwindled, closing at | the French Premier and heavy | Paris Bourse, together with a little bear sell- | ing here, were the maln factors operating. | Both the political and the financial sttuations | are far from clear. The best mformed opera- lowest. The reported resignation of the sales from the a financlal catastrophe, none the less are pry pared for bad quarters of an hour in both di- rections. The Fashoda affair does not improve with keepingg while the financial situation in Germany an® Austria requires caretul watch- ng. T have some reason for thinking the Bank of France rate may be raised to-morrow to 3 | per cent, partly because of politics and partly through fears that New York may take gold | from them Americans were flat, but closed a fraction ahove the lowest. | Mines were dull on lack of Parls support, nd Spanish fours are weak on a few bear sales a5 a hedge. The London discount market closed to-day with an upward tendency There is talk of the Berlin Bank rate going | to 6 per cent on Monday, but at present my information tends against this.
