NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—Waiting on the North- ern Pacific settlement hest describes the con- dition of to-dey’s stock market. As the convic- tion is general that the final steps in the set- tlement must await the presence in this clty of J. P. Morgan and as that gentleman was re- ported still in the Norhwest on his return across the continent, the outlook for immedi- ate activity in the stock market was not prom- ising. Whether any significance attaches to the fact that out of the Northwest came the influence which moved the stock market to strength and activity late in the day can only be surmised. There was no clearly defined ex- planation of the movement, but it grew and spread from the Chicago 'and Northwestern stocks and embraced the principal railroads in the Northwest and the Vanderbilts all the way to the seaboard. Northwestern itself rose an extreme § points, the preferred 10, Chicago, St Paul, Minneapolis and Omaha 10, the preferred Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul 3 and ihe preferred 4%. Considerable sympathetic effect was produced by this at the last, result- ing in advances of as much as & point in some of the Pacifics, grangers and half-priced spe- clalties. New York Central and the so-called Junior Vanderbiits advanced 1 to 1%.

The recent Increase in the valuation of subsidiary stocks held in its treasury provides material for an extra ‘dis- bursement, which w operate indirectly. to the benefit of New k Central. The pamph- det reports from thefGreat Northern Railway; rotwithstanding the’large decrease in net earn- ings reported as & Tesult of last year's spring wheat shortage, ‘contained so flattering an ac- count of the general conditions in that region and the large movement of immigrants thither that it an_important influence in the rise of all Northwestern railroads. ~ Great I _r. #* the Northern preferred itself fell 13 at first, owing to the showing of net earnings, but recovered with the late movement in the group. There was continued speculation in Amalgamated Copper, the stock receding early on the decline in_raw copper in London, and the further spread of futures below that for spot, indicat- ing the expectation of a coming fall in prices. Amalgamated Copper, however, recovered with the late buying movemens in the market. Large lending of money on call, coming from the banks affiliated with the Standard Ofl party, was interpreted by the speculators as an indi- cation that the recent attitude of opposition to a speculative advance by that party had been modified. The banks recelved payments for an addition. al half-million of gold at Pacific Coast points and there were reports that the movement of currency to the South was declining, although 3$275,000 was deposited at the eub-treasury for transfer to New Orleans. From a money stan point the further violent rise in foreign ex- Change was not reassuring.

The weather continues Dad and further damage is fearcd. Bradstreet's gives the following estimate of the stock on hand: East of the Rockies, an increase of 2,- 500,000 bushels; Europe and afloat, a decrease of 200,000; total net increase, 2,500,000 bushels. Chicago opened dull and a shade lower on ca- bles. The movement in the Northwest is not what had been expected, and the elevator peo- ple think that it will not be realized, and that the crop in North Dakoia has been overesti- | mated.

Sprig. Butter, Cheese and Eggs. Butter continues weak and dull at the de- cline noted on Monday, and there is altogether |too much on the market, especially as the public has become habituated to the use of the cheaper packed goods. The northern steam- ers are bringing in large lots of Humboldt creamery, which do not clean up. Stocks of Cheese are ample for the demand and quotations stand about the same. Eggs have not changed for some days. They are in ample supply and the demand is hard- Iy sufficlent to keep stocks from accumulat- ng.

Deciduous and Citrus Fruits. The season for summer fruits is drawing to a close and a heavy rain would about wind it up. Grapes are the leading Kind now and are sell- ing fairly at good prices. Arrivals of Peaches and Plums are insignificant. Apples and Pears are in sufficient supply at quotations which have ruled for some time. Melons are bring- ing satisfactory prices. Quinces have not va- ried much in price for quite awhile. Citrus fruits are as previously quoted. Ar- rivals of Oranges are slowly increasing. There are few Cranberries on the market and the feeling continues firm. ¥ Three cars of New Orleans Bananas have ar- rived. DECIDUOUS FRUITS.

Dried Fruits, Nuts and Raisins. The San Jose Association has again reduced the price of last year's Prunes, this time from 3¢ to 2%c for the four sizes, the object being to clean up the old Prunes before the new crop is placed on the market. A good many of the new Prunes have already passed out of grow- ers’ hands. These continued cuts on the part of the association are lowering the market for the new crop. The demand is slow. In this respect, however, Prunes are no worse off than the other fruits, all being dull, both here and the East. Ralsins continue unsettled, owing to the differences between the factions at Fresno.
