PRICES GO UP AGA1M Dealings Professional arid Suspicion of Manipulation. TONE IS MORE CHEERFUL Effect of Rise Seemed to Be Better than Forcible Lifting of Prices on Tuesday?The Principal Slocks Show Gains of 2 to 3 Points. (By AsHoclated Pri*?*s.) NEW YORK, October l.-Stocks recov? ered vigorously ngnln to-day, the Iaht pride' ehowlnp, advanced of two to three points for the principal active stocks. The dealings were highly profo-slonal and tho movement was not free from sus? picion of manipulation. Ruf. the effect fieemed to be, for some reason, more cheering upon sentiment th.nn the rather forcible lifting of prices on Tuesday. There may hove been some buying for ?support In to-day's mnrket also, but the fTeat banking interests were not so con uplcuous ln the dealings, On the other hand, nn over extended short Inter? Bt ?wns a very Important factor in lift ng prices. The opening dip In Pcnsylvnnin nnd In New York Central wa? attributed to bearish manipulation. Louisville seem? ed to suffer from the liquidation of nn account nnd pressure upon thnt stock reappeared from time to time during the day. While the demand for stocks seem? ed to come largely from the short In? terest, as Indicated by the large borrow. Ing demnnd ln the loan crowd last night, the rising level of prices brought no signs of the llipildatlon, which has been so persistently urgent for a long time past. It was this fact, that hod the most de? cisive Influence upon sentlnvnt. A notable feature of the day wa?? the violent break Of about thirty po'nte In demand sterling here tinder pressure of very large offering? of commercial b Ils and dearth of demand. Large wheat clearances were reported for the day and tho completion of tho cotton corner led to considerable commission ho ise buying In that market. The e tabllh ment of nominal conditions In the cott-n market Is expected to have ?very Im? portant results In tho outward movement of that stapl?, and this led to very fr?o offerings of cotton bills Ir the exchange market. The early demand for stocks was especially notable nmonv?t the coll? ere, which holped by the strong state? ment of net earnings for August bv the Lohlgh Valley and the ndm's-don of E. H. Ha Tima ? to the Erie directory. The expiration of tho original r-or'od for the United Stnter. Steel conversion syndicate and Intimations thnt the ma? jority of subscribers had accepted tho extension of tho syndicate aroused a hope ,that the recent severe pressure of the steel bond? on the market by ttho'e desirous of retiring from the synd cate would now be relaxed. The bond markot wns firm and the ? United States Steel second .Vs were bo-igbt on an enormous scale up to 71. Total sales, par value, 14,570,000.

Wall Street Gossip. (Special to The Tlmes-DI-patch.) NEW YOIIK. Oct. 1.?Tin* opening of the ? lock market waa a little firmer, aa tbe selling of Hi* previous day bail some alena of proies alona 1 pressure, but price? dial not bold very well. The traders were bearish, especially aa the London market bad not responded to the bank's decision not to advance it? rate. In aplte of the cenerai belief tbat the Penn? sylvania decline had been largely attacked by the more Important ?peeulatlve element, the stock was inclined tn aell off. It was scarce ln the l?nn crowd, but Philadelphia and Pltta burg were unquestionably liquidating on Wcdn?*? ilsy. and especially stock tbey had not finished. New York Central ncted badly, and the selline looked good. It la generally held ln the street, snd something will havo to be done in the near future. S?me of tbe London aelllng was supposed to be In connection with a home on the other side *? hi ?-Ii bad been taken care of. but whoae ncconnt American Block remained to be liqui? dated. The scare atory published ln one of the morning paperi was not treated very seriously ln the Btreet. Tbe cloaeat Inquiry failed to con? firm It, and so far as tbe iieraona Indicated were concerned, the tale waa Oatly contradicted by people whose knowledge would he absolute in such a mattar. ERRATIC IN FIRST HOUR: The market was extremely erratic In the first hnur, but altogether rallied better than it sold off. Tbe uptown traders were buyers of stocka ?nd gavo the Impression that they hnd been responsible for a good deal of the previous day's depression. There ???? s big crowd snd big trading in Pennsylvania, with the Kecnn brokers rather prominent. Tbe buying ?eemed to come largely from traders who had Bold on the previoua day, and preaumably repreaonled the covering of shorts. The leading arbitrage boutes said that they were unable to confirm any rumors of financial trouble ln London. ERIE THE FEATURE: Tbe strength of Erie wse one of tbe feature? of the market from the opening. The street attached a good deal of Importance to sir. riarrlman's appearance on the hoard of tho rood aa Indicating a union ot interests which were once ln serious conflict. D. 8. STEEL ISSUES: United States Steel lames acted well In ?pito of Borne selling of bonds traceable to the under writing syndicate. Very few of Its members uro Jllioly to withdraw, and the street naturally Te. garde Its continuance sa a Bouree of strength, particularly to tbe preferred stock. HULD RALLY, BOT WAS MANIPULATED! The market held Its rnlly .fairly well after mid-day. although tlio trading was oxtremely professional nnd stocka were very much ninni? pulated. There was resumption of selling in llnltlmnre and Ohio, which looked to be rather well In? formed, although the molt serious of the liqui? dation thnrn la snld to be over. There wob eome trading tn the next dividend of United States Steel common. There was ? Itandlng bid of ? per cent., but s good deal ti It was offered at % por cent, Some of the traders were nrgulng that a promt.

TRADINl*' LIGIIT IN AFTERNOON: In tbe early afternoon tbo trading was In tighter volume, but the market continued to ?bow very fo!r strength. The buying waa not. perhaps, altogether so good as some street au? thorities claimed, but tbere was evidently a good deal of abort Interest and moro disposition to cover it. Tbere was some good selling of Louisville and Nashville on tbe advance, and It seems likely th'nf there was more st-x'k to come. .Vn account of some sire was carried over Monday with dif? ficulty, ?n.l only partly liquidated on Tuesday. One of Die brokers who does s large part of the Standard Oil business ?eld that there were supporting orders In the market, although he did not think there was Intention at 2<l Broadway to bid up prices. The same broker ?old stock on Monday, but probably got his orders from bearish Western operators to give color to a report Cir? culated then that tbe Standard Oil peoplo were telling. A caref?-1 canvass of the commission bouses ?bowed a more cheerful sentiment, but s very limited public Interest ?a the market. There was s fair amount of Investment buying, but out of all proportion to the very heavy profes alonal operations. THE CUOSrNO: Seaboard In tbe last honr broke sharply on the curb on what was said to be a distressed ac? count liquidating. The close Was firm end not far from the beet of the dny, ln spite of the fslr amount of proflt taklng by ?mailer traders. The professional ele? ment was not all of ono mind, but for the most part ?eemed to be expecting a further advance. RICHMOND STOCK MARKET. Richmond, Vs., Oct. 1, 1003. SALES.

NEW TORK, Oct. 1.?The cotton market open? ed firm nt an advance of 7(313 points on tho higher cables and a bullish crop report, showing a deterioration for tbe month of 11.8 per cent, ln tbe condition of tbe crop. For a time the market, Influenced by fears that the government report on Saturday would enow even ? worse falling off, ruled very active and firm with October shorts particularly free buyers. Euro? pean houses and the South nlso bought liberally, and the centres representing the Now Orleans hull crowd eeeined to have orders for Jnnunry. There was not a Utile realizing on the advance, however, and shortly after the opening this proved sufficient to esso prices oft slightly from Iho top. The estimates for to-morrow's rycelpts nt lending points were disappointing, however, and while the weather hod a fnvorabie average, the market ?ltd not lose its flrnuicsB of under? tone, being rulllcd ng-r'n before mid-day and selling up to ? level net lfili 17 points hjgbor on further outbursts of covering and buying for long account, which wa? encouarged, as It he came evident that the exports for the doy would reach ? much larger total than the receipts at the ports. Later In the afternoon, however, there was a renewal of liquidation, and with some bear prcsaure tbe market sold will down from tho top. The closo was steady, net 3@7 points higher.
