W YORK STOCK MARK NEW YORK, Oct. 2.—The stock market showed a tendency to fall into quietude again to-day, as though in sympathy with the dull- ness and uncertalnty of foreign exchanges. But there was a quiet absorption of standard stocks all through the list, a generally firm tone and marked strength in a few cases, so that the average of prices s quite materlally lifted as @ result of the day's trading. The reactionary tendency in the wheat market, the falling off in the exports for both wheat and corn and the weakness in the forelgn grain markets were without effort apparently. The reagon for the apparently illogical movements for the past few days obviously is that the market is en- tirely in the hands of professional traders, ¢ithout any participation by the outside pub- When this class sell it s simply with a bt view to buylng at a lower level, and thelr maneuvers can only prove successful where they induce & following to take the poor end of the bargain. Where there is no such follow- ing there is nothing to do but to retrace their course by selling or buying, as the case may De, the final operations being made in opposi- tion to the culminating factor on which the speculative commitment has been made. The exciting causes of the traders’ activities for the last few days having subsided, the market became comparatively dull to-day, and the traders betook themselves to the highly specu- Jative industrials. Tobacco moved feverishly below yesterday's level and Sugar above on Jarge transactions, without and definable rea- gon in elther case. The recovery In sterling exchange was the effect of the renewed string- ency in the London money market caused by the needs of to-morrow’s stock exchange settle- ment. Fxchange on Paris showed easier tone, Teflecting the pressure for the movement of funds from that center owing to the threaten- ing aspect of domestic politics there.

The opening price of wheat here was from %@lc a bushel lower for December than Vesterday's closing quotations. Traders, how- ever, had a lurking apprehension that the for- ©elgn calm might be only the precursor of an- other storm.

There has been considerable demand for Valencia raisins. Sultanas are scarce on spot. Currants are in better request and the market is firm, with an upward tendency. Apricots are firm, but the limited supply and comparatively high prices demanded restrict business. There is no change in_the market for figs. California prunes are firm. Spot stocks are small, and under gradually increasing de- mands of consumption the market is tending upward, There is considerable inquiry for Oregon and_Washington prunes, but there is Jittle or nothing obtainable on spot, and there are few offerings from coast. Some 1897 stock is elling from second hands at 6@6ic for 40s @, and seems to be giving good satisfaction to buyers. FOREIGN MARKETS.
