YORK STOCK MARKET. vicinity—Fair Friday; NEW NEW YORK, Oct. 2T.—The stock market showed a continuation of vesterday's strength to-day, and the speculative activity broadened | out considerably in addition. There was not quite such a congestion of trading in Tobacco and Sugar, although these stocks were the leaders in point of activity. They were traded in nearly all day at a level below yesterday's close, though each stock advanced slightly above yesterday's price for a brief Interval. Sugar left off with a decline of 3% from the highest and a loss of 1% from yesterday. To- bacco was under pressure from the supposition that the recently incorporated company is des- tined to be a powerful ¢ —-etitor, and on de- | nials of accessions to the American Company | of outside plug tobacco companies. The stock was at one time off 2%, but closed with a small net gain. In industrials, the hesitationon foreign excl.anges was without effect. There was a | large demand for quite a number of railroad stocks, the Grangers leading, with pretty much all the Western and Southern roads showing a g00d tone. The Eastern trunk lines continued to lag on account of the admittedly bad rate situation in that territory which nullified the benefit of the exceptionally large tonnage which is being moved. St. Paul was the leader in | the railway list, and the movement of the stock was supposed to foreshadow a good September statement due to-mOITOW. The gross increase of that period in earnings is known to be well on toward $500,000, and it is surmised that the statemeng will show a re- du~+ion in the recent heavy fates of expendi- tures for improvements charged to operating exnenses. The September statement of the Tnion Pacific, while showing » decrease of over $44,000 in gross earnings, showed operating ex- penses so largely reduced as to leave an In- crease in surplus earnings of §112,534. The de- layed movement of cotton now coming for- ward and the decrease of vellow fever _fore- shadow good earnings for Southern and South- western railroads. The easler tone to-day of Sterling Exchange was the direct result of the cal .er feeling in Paris. There was a heavy de- mand for Sterling Exchange here vesterday for Paris account, which sprang from the same cause as that which lifted exchange on Lon- | don in Paris ahove the gold export point, name- 1y, the nressure to transfer funds from Paris | 1o London. It is now known also that the violent recovery in British consols was partly due to buying for account of timid Paris capi- tal because of the domestic disquiet, and not al- together to the relief of the Anglo-French ten- sion over Fashoda. There was a g0od absorp- tion of raflroad bonds to-day, and prices are generally higher. Total sales, '$3,450,000.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—The Evening Post’ London financial cablegram says: The cheerful tone in the stock markets here at the close vesterday was maintained to-day. The rise was most marked in Americans and in Kaffirs, the former closing quiet, at the best, chiefly on New York support. The one smail failure at the settlement to-day 1s of no significance, but the recovery in prices is time- 1y, as there are some weak Spots. Consols closed under the best, and should | there be any renewal of political alarms there is no way @ small bear account can support prices. The best informed operators in the city do not consider the Fashoda question as settled yet. The very sharp drop in Parls exchange to-day is partly attributed to the completion of pay- ments due from French interests in connection With our stock exchange settlement. Russian exchange is rising and sterling exchanxe Vienna also advanced to-day. CLOSING. LONDON, Oct. 27, 4 p. m.—Canadian, Grand Trunk, 6%; Bar Siiver, steady, 27 Money, 3%@4 per cent.

NEW YORK, Oct. 27.—The Journal of Com- merce under this date says: The situation in the market for California raisins is very unsat | isfactory to packers’ and commission merchants’ jobbers. The first named are unable because of poor drying weather to deliver goods con- tracted for on time, and consequently the as- | soctation rules will have to stand the difference between prices prevalling prior to October 15 and those which went into force on that date. Delay in deliveries has been the cause of con- siderable embarrassment to commission mer= chants at this end. They have been unable to fully make good their contracts with job- bers, and the latter, who need goods very much, are dissatisfied and uncertain as to the future. While goods contracted for are being | delayed some buyers are obliged to go into the market and make purchases in order to | promply meet the requirements of their trade. | The demand for California raisins has not been | more than a third of the average since the | season opened. No raisins are reported to have been sold to Eastern markets, at least not east of the Alleghanies, ot prices which took effect on October 15. but trade in this sectlon qulet.
