Oct. 12.?The stock mar modo a Sie of feeble efforts to ad? vance this morning. The lethargy ?I the trading was uh Invitation to bear S&SSEBS and when a determined ?WP developed for that fao?on the professional element- an on; the traders was quick to follow the lead A single block of St Paul of 6 ?00 shares was quickly followed by an? other of 4.000 shares, offered by b>okers who are usually employed by tho ac? knowledged bear leader. Selling gen? erally all around the room was tho se auence. The two large blocks ot fat. Paul were 124%. and the price had fal? len to 123% In a few minutes. The Grangers. New York Central, C. C. c. and St. Louis, and the leading hlRh prlced specialties were the principal sufferers. Brooklyn Rapid Transit was under conspicuous ' pressure, and dropped to 85%. Pullman made a. bril? liant advance of 8% points on the coming absorption of the leading competitor, which ^ was denied later. This was an isolated (instance of positive strength. Louisville was the leader of the early abortive advance, and was rather firm aftor having the advance wiped out. Otherwise, the heaviness was quite uni? form. The news developments In South Africa had very little effect on.the mar? ket. Call money worked a shade easier, and did not touch higher than 7 per cent. What with last, Saturday's receipts of gold from Europe, other small accretions 'of the Dreclous metal from vari? ous sources, nnd the relaxed pressure by the sub-Treasury, added to the fur? ther contraction of loons which had been made, a. more favorable showing is expected from the New York banks in the Saturday's statement. The money outlook Is considered any? thing but favorable. The violent up? ward movement of % per cent, in ihe pound sterling exchange, botli for nc tual rates and for posted rates, la re? garded as an admonition than an cas? ing of the money rate here Is likely to lead to a demand from London for gold. The weekly statement of the Bank of . England discloses a very slight In? crease of the proportion of reserve to liability, and the Statement for the same period of the Bank of France shows a loss of $2,300,000 In gold, while demand for credits has .increased In its loans about $10,400,000. The sterling ex? change rate nt Paris dropped off an ad? ditional % centime. It is exceedingly significant that the Bank of England parted with some ?105.000 lit gold for shipment to Paris, which city has been looked to from oil. points as the avail? able source for relief for tho need of gold. The financial upset in Italy had a disturbing cfTocit in all the European money markets. The sharp upward movement hero, not only in sterling exchange, but also in French exchange, suggests a coming pressure on this cen? tre. The bond market was moderately active and shows general decline. To? tal sales, uar value, Sl.fiSO.OOO. United States 2's advanced Uc. and the new 4's, registered, declined ',4c In the bid price. Total sales of ' stocks were 346,400 shares. New York, Oct. 12.?Standard Oil, " 4.64@4.6G. NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. 20>4 02*4 49% ill 52 5716 25^? 14 .129% Atchlson . Atchlson pre. .

New Y'ork, Oct. 12.?To-clny the cotton market was an erratic affair through? out, with the bull and bear factions in control by turns. On the opening of the call buying orders held over from yes? terday and a small movement at the : ports brought an advance of 2 points] on the near months, while the distant months developed weakness and dropped 1(33 points. Reports of weak? ness In Liverpool during the first hour | brought a much lower level of prices, active liquidation of Investment and professional holdings being a feature. Shortly after mid-day there was a sudden un-llft on a rush to cover by shorts, started by predictions that to merrow's receipts would be excep? tionally light. But the better feeling a?on petered out and once more prices turned downward, drspplng 8 points in about as many minutes. Wall Street, New OrUans and Europe sold freely; shorts and American spinners were the buyers- Early In the session a well known Philadelphia firm purchased several large lets of August, delivery The mnrket closed steady at about the lowest point of the day, at a net loss of 10013 points.
