NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—Avother day of rising prices characterized the stock speculation to- day and the degree of confidence that prevalled was & ngtable contrast to the depressed feeling that existed at the outset of the week. The formal anncuncement that Bccretary Shaw had egreed to purchase all bonds of the issue of 1625 presented st the Subtreasury to-day and to-morrow was an effectivs tonic to the mar- ket. Tt was statéd that a block of $5,000,000 Bad been mccepted and it was predicted that fully twice as much more would be fmme- diately turned in by a syndicate at 1875, and interest which would net about 138, All told it was expected that the tenders under thie ofter would result in the release of abaut $20.. 000,000 Treasury funds, which would be speed. allable to the local money market. With this prospect of new material in sight to con. tinue active operations the pools went to work with considerable confidence and bid up thei favorites notably. The call money market showed great ease to-Gay atd there were con. fident. sxpectations that o Food bank state- ment Would be issued to-morrow which would contribute toward further ease next week. The yreliminary estimates show seventy-five banks came out abott even on thelr operations with the Subtreasury and the interior, but the com. pletion of some syndicate transactions this week is expected to reduce the loan mccount decidedly. Active operations by a noted spec. ulative clique was said to be on the money recelved from the Louisville and Nash- 3ilie settiement and was pointed out that the carly closing of the Rock lsland capital re- Arrongement would release s thet stock was put to dey, but the most :fi:‘ assertion & fevorable traffic ce had * { | | was that Letween St. Paul and Union Paclfic Moo much was heard rumored increase in the Norfolk and Western dividend and yester- @sy’s interest in that stock was largely shifted $uto other quarters. The soft coal stocks, as to p, Wwere a motable feature of the fl early rise of almost 4 points In Bl‘l?l! increased ” » more and Ohio caused an this rrominent after a long period of neglect and their rise started an active demamd for va- rious other independent iron and steel stocks. The high priced speciaities were not much of & factor in the market, but there was an increased demand for many low-priced shares, cspecially those In the Middle West and Eouthwestern territories. Professional traders quite generally shifted theit operations to the long side and were active in driving some of the stubborn shorts to cover. Late in the day a heavy buying movement developed in the Eestern trunk lines led by New York Central, £nd there was & more general inquiry for the higher priced railroads, including Illinols Cen- tral and the grangers. Top prices showed a fair sprinkling of gains, reaching 2 points and over and there were many a point or more. The closing was active and strong, but some of the leading features of the day were below the best. Railroad bonds sympathized moderately with the rise in stocks and there was heavy buy- ing in the speculative issues. Total sales, par value, $3,000,000.

Oct. 17.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s ‘Weekly Review of Trade t orrow will say: i The settlement of the coal strike removes the only serious handicap to industrial progress. Five months of restricted fuel vroduction had begun to check the wheels at many manufac- dimunition in consumptive d2mand as the pur- clasing power of the wage-earners steadily de- strong recuperagive power assures a speedy reatoration prosperous _ conditions. Transportation is néw the worst feature and threatens to continue disflirbing. While the | grain_crops are being moved, the supply of ing stock apd motive power will prove in- sufficient, although every effort is made at the shops, liberal premiums being offered for early delivery. That the rallways are well occunied is evidenced by earnings for the first week of October being 3.5 per cent Jarger than last year and 10.9 ver cent above 1900, Inadequate supolies of fuel caused further banking of furnaces, but the effect of a 'de- creased output, of domestic pigiron has been partially neutralized by larger arrivals from abread. A Footwear shops are actively engaged, many preducers having added to their long list of orders, and while practically all the New Eng- land manufacturers are assured full time up to the endl of the vear, are also taking orders for dellveries in March.

Weather conditions were inst the market, but higher cables and the decided ad- vance in corn caused a strong feeling to the situation. Early priees were higher, but u large amount of long Stuff, especially May, was dumped on the market, fogether jvith con- siderable short selling, and these factors, in conjunction with a decline, brought about a re- duction. With improvement in the outside markets there was another rally and the close was firm and higher. December opened a shade to %@Y%c lower at T1%G71%c, advanced to 723c, declined to 7T1%c, only to rally again to T2%Hec. e close was ¥@%c higher at c. ‘Trade in corn reached such immense propor- tions that it was impossible to tell who was buying or who was seliing, bat in spite of the large volume of business there were no new features to the sitpation. It was simply a case of one or ‘two prominent longs holding the whip over the shorts, who covered freely to-day, resulting in a sensational advance. At one time December was over 2c above yes- terday's closing price. The excitement did not subside any until large quantities of long corn bad been thrown into the pit. After the lull NS commission houses took on May, advancing that option also. The close was strong and slightly higher. December closed %H@%c higher at 52%c. There was little trading in oats, but the market was firm in sympathy with corn. De- cember closed e up at 3ldc. Provisions were strong on higher prices of hogs and on_strength in corn.
