THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review
New York, Oct. 15. Todaj 's market was
a contest between piofesslonal traders,
as has been tho case each day this week.
The bears wero ognln successful during
tho morning, but they encountered re
sistance ait tho lower level und wero
forced to cover heavily beforo the odose
of the day, so that prices wero brought
back to within fractional limits cither way
of last night's close. Chicago Gaa con
tinued to abscrb a very lnrge share of at
tention and it was in this stock that tho
bears suffered a keen reverse. Tho suc
ceeded in forcing down tho price at one
time 14, but tho inside support for the
stock was very stiong and tho advance
drove the boars to cover, tho stock clos
ing with a net gain of 2V Sugar also,
which was raided down 3 during tl.o
morning, rr.llleu to within less than a point
of laM night's close. Total sales 43-',6M
