I — | EASTERN MARKETS. | ‘ New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—The movement of | prices in to-day’s stock market lacked coher- | ency at all times. Opening weakness gave way to a period of strength, which was met by | profit-taking, and the resulting reaction: was vigorously contested by agsressive manipula- tion of Pennsylvania. The whole market fin- | ally gave way to a weakness and closed at a level lower than yesterday, net losses reaching a point or over in some of the leading stocks. | The gnly aggressive force for a rise in the mar- | ket Was what might be called the formal invi- tation, issued by the arch-manipulator in the | | strest, to the public to follow his leadership | | in a speculation for a rise, with a suggestive glance toward Southern Pacific as an available | | market leader. This invitation made its ap- | pearance in circular form yesterday, with an | appropriate demonstration in the market fo herald it. As the author has been associated in | the Wall-street mind with the organized sup- port of the United States Steel stocks, those stocks shared in yesterday's demonstration, but | the sequnce to-day was less convincing. South- ern Pacific, indeed, started off with a flurry, and St. Paul made a preliminary advance of 1i4. Other stocks to respond were few and the | | obvious fact that heavy realizing was going on | in the Pacific group of stocks and St. Paul | served still further to disincline the public to accept the invitation to speculate. A move- ment in Pennsylvania which developed later, and which carried the stock up 2 points, was nominally based upon the heavy traffic move- ment over the company’s lines, but the remem- brance of oid associations of the author of the invitation referred to with market movements of this stock aroused a suspicion of a possible | connection on his part with the movement. | The buying was congested, but so also was the Isemng. one brokerage house being credited | | i with sales of 20,000 shares. The last price of the stock showed only a fractional remnant of the extreme advance. Last week's enthusiasm over the alleged plan of a proprietary company | to hold control of Great Northern preferred, | Northern Pacific, Burlington and the ‘‘releass | | of large amounts of tied-up capital’” has en- | | tirely evaporated, as the release of this capital | is seen to be contingent upon the investing public taking the minority portion of the pro- | jected new company off the hands of the pro- | Jectors. The renewed heavy demand for cur- rency from the cotton centers was a disturb- ing factor in the late trading. There were transfers through the Sub-Treasury of $500,000 to New Orleans and of $300,000 to St. Louls. On the other hand a rise in exchange at Chicago to 10c premium marked the cessation of the demand from that quarter. There were no pay- | | ments for bonds by the Sub-Treasury to-day, | he belated settlement of that account having | pparently been completed, and the Government | | | institution has withdrawn $1,500,000 from the | market since Friday. The downward tendency in sterling exchange was checked and London | was a seller of stocks in this market. There | was a somewhat feverish speculation in Amal- | | gamated Copper, which Tift the stock over a | point, then drove it down 3 points by D and left it a net loss of 3.
