McADIE, Forecast Official, - warmer in EASTERN MARKETS New York § tock Market. NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—The made a couple of feeble and futile efforts to stock market advance this morning. The lethargy of the trading was an invitatlon to bear aggression and when a determined leadership developed for that faction the professional element among the traders was quick to follow the lead. A single block of St. Paul of 6500 shares was quickly followed by another of 4000 shares, of- fered by brokers who are usuaily employed by the acknowledged bear leaders. Selling generally all around the room was the se- quence. * The two large blocks of St. Paul went at 1243, and the price had failen to 128% in a few minutes. The grangers, New York Central, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Loui 'and the leading high-priced spec- falties were the principal sufferers. Brooklyn Transit was under conspicuous pressure and dropped to 85%. Pullman made a brilliant ad- vance of 8% points on rumors of the coming absorption of the leading competitor, which were denfed later. This was an isolated in- stance of positive strength. Louisville was the leader of the abortive advance and was rather firm after having the advance wiped out. Otherwise the heaviness was quite uni- form. The developments in South Africa had little effect on the market. Call money rked a shade easier and did not touch higher than 7 per cent. What with last Sat- urday’s receipts of gold from Europe and some emall accretions of the precious metal from other sources and the relaxed pressure by the sub-treasury, added to the further contraction of loans which has been made, a more favor- able showing is expected from the New York banke in the Saturday statement.

December opened %@ Lo lower at T2%@02%c and during the first half of the session sold off to T2%@72%e. The decline was marked by a good deal of irregu- larity, however, as short sellers were very cautious, but scalpers seldom fafled to ac- cept 1-16c profit if the market went that much in thelr favor and then halted a second. Finally when the market got down to put prices the bulls picked up a little courage and | succeeded in forcing an upturn, December ad- | vancing to T3%c. Good outsice buying and heavy clearances at the seaboird helped the advance. The improvement was short-lived as the selling was of sufficient volume to sat- isfy all and the price elid back to 72%c, where it closed. Corn ceclined early under heavy liquidation, Buying by elevator interests caused a temt porary recovery, but in the afternoon the mar- ket sagged and was heavy at the close. De- cember closed at 813c. Oats were fairly active and firm. An ex- cellent cash demand and good country de- mand strencthened the market. December closed with sellers at 23%@23%c. Provistons ruled heavy and declined under free liquidation by packers and commission houses. There was recovery from the bottom in sympathy with the grain rally.
