The stock market underwent many mutations cf sentiment yesterday, lit on the whole came through the day's ordeal very well, and the av erage level of prices was higher as a result of the day's trading. The market was very Irregular from the openlr.jr. and during the course of the session the reactionary tendency fairly got tha upper hand, carrying prices to well below Thursday nlxhfs level. The extreme ranse of the most active stocks wa from 1 to 2 points, but the final rally reduced net changes In nearly all case to small fractions. The weakness which overcame the market was clealy enough an Incident of the digestion of profits. The force cf the final rally showed that professional operators ventured to sell short rretty freely also. Wall street had Its dally report In the morning of stupendous new combinations In the railroad world, this time relating to Southern Pacific. The Vanderbllt Interests, It was said, had secured control, and all problems of com petition and rate-cutting were forthwith to be settled. Chicago v c Alton and Kansas City Southern, it was also confidently alleged, had become consolidated. The securities of the lat ter, two companies responded with brisk ad vances. Rut in Southern Pacific enormous blocks of long stock came out, succeeding a primary sale of 10,000 shares at quotations a quarter of a point apart. The opening quotation was the highest of the day, and the stock fell away 1H during the active selling movement. Brooklyn Transit was very actively dealt In, and was pushed up 1 be for marked signs of weakness began to develop. These points of trensth served to sustain the market somewhat, tut realizing continued on an active scale. The jcalera broke sharply on a report that the Read ing Company would mine to Its full capacity. A aumber of Iron and steel stocks declined from 1 to Hi points on rumors of a deep cut in the price of rails made by British manufacturers, following a cut made earlier in the week by German producers. The late rally was led by Missouri Pacific, which was rushed up 3 points above the lowest, without any news to account for the rise. The fall In the money rate to 2 per cent, &nd the manifest relation In the pressure It realize encouraged the prices. Preliminary estimates of the week's net changes by the banks promise a large decline In cash reserves Operations with the subtreaeury offered the greatest Interest. Deposits of cash with this in stitution for transfer to the interior have been much smaller than last week. On the other hand, there have been payments on drafts en account of gold deposited at Pacific coast points, and the portion of the gold Imports which came s bars have been paid for at the assay office. Nevertheless the subtreasury has absorbed from the banks durinjr the week no less a sum than $2,310.000. The shipments of currency by export to the Interior are believed to have been less than a million dollars, but the decline in cash reserves seems certainly to have reached a total Of $3.K0.0OO. The bond market continued active and showed points of weakness In sympathy with stock?. Total sales, at par value, were $3,730.00. United Slates refunding twos, the new and old f.iurs and the fives advanced U rer cent, on the last call. Following are the day's share sales and the closing bid prices: Closir-g Stocks. Fairs. Rid.

Warm Wenther Is Checkintc Trade Sll&litly In Some Linen. The unusually warm weather for late October Ij checking trade with the dry goods houses, the milliners, tho hat and cap dealers, the boot and shoe men and confectioners. The falling oft In trade will be put temporary, as the first cool weather will revive business. The fall outlook for business could hardly be more favorable, the political campaign not interfering with trade to the extent it usually does. But few retail mer chants are overstocked, as tlme of late have been so good that there Is not such an accumu lation of stocks as when times are dull 'anl ficods sell slow. In prices there are no Impor tant changes. Linseed oil, It Is thought, has reached thi highest figure, as sales are falling off. Provisions are moving: well at the recent revision In prices. Grocers are very busy. Tho recent advance In price of sugar Is fully main tained and coffees, as well, are hardening in tendency. On Commission row receipts of frui's and vegetables of the season are large, but with a fairly active demand accumulations are not large; that Is, of high-standard goods. Orange ere in good request and firm In price, while lemons are weak and selling slow. Some fine ap ples are now offered. The flour market is weak but prices are unchanged. The seed market is active, with prices firm. The local grain market Is more active Re ceipts of corn are large and of other cereals in creasing.

INCLINED TO EVEN UP WHEAT TRADERS PREPARED FOR A HOLIDAY IN nVSIXESS. The Cereal Closed Lower Corn nnd Onts Showed Fractional Losses Small Changes In Provisions. CHICAGO, Oct. 26. On the excellent crop prospects wheat to-day lost yesterday's advance, December closing Tic lower. Corn closed 404c and oats 440 down. Provisions at the close were unchanged to 74c depressed. With an occasional momentary exception trade in wheaj was dull and of a holiday character, traders being inclined to even up on account of the holiday to-morrow as well as Sunday. Liver pool showed a good response early to the bulge here and December wheat opened 4c higher to He lower, at 734c to 734c. This Initial showing was disappointing to the crowd and the market took on an easier tone. This feeling was rath;r encouraged by the excellent weather, the small shipments and the continued liberal receipts, as well as Liverpool's loss of her early gains. With out any material reaction December declined to 72c, where the market, on an export demand. steadied and December rallied fractionally, clos ing Tic under the previous session, at 724c New York reported 540 loads taken for export and sales to the other side from here were reported at 316.000 bu. Primary rece4pts aggregated 9o5,Oöö bu, compared with 932,000 bu last year. Minne apolis and Duluth reported 563 cars, against 6o7 last week and 643 a year ago. Local receipts were 142 cars; nine of contract grade. Corn was steady but was influenced by thd pressure of new corn, prospects for the early movement of which seem unusually bright, by the wheat weakness, indifferent cables and slow business In a shipping way. Near-by options were noticeably weaker. Country offerings were light, but there was plenty for sale in the pit and the local crywd furnished a very poor brand of support. December sold between 354c and 34c, closing 4&Uc down, at 344'a35c Receipts were 32D cars. .... Oats were dull and neglected. Acceptances were light and there was only a moderate move ment from Bhippers hands. December sold be tween 22c and 2l WlTfcc. closing WAc lower, at 2l21Tc. Receipts were 143 cars. rrovlaions started out with a show of firmness because of an advance in prices at the yards and the poor quality of hogs. Selling by longs, how ever, soon turned the scale the other way and the gain was more than lost. January pork sold between $11.25 and $11.10 and closed 7Vc und.r yesterday, at $11.10; January lard between $.674 and $6.6. closing unchanged at $6.624, and Jan uary ribs between $3.S7'S and $5.90, with the close 24ft 5c down, at $3.!W35.924.

The American Woolen Com pany and other large consumers have been oper ating. Advices from abroad are less encouraging. Heavy withdrawals at London and early closing of the auction sales did not indicate an improv ing tendency. Melbourne is off 33 per cent, from last year. The sales for the week were 3.597,001 lbs domestic and 243,0)0 lbs foreign, a total of S.842.0CO lbs, against a total of 3.308,000 lbs last week and a total of rr.Gl.OOO lbs the correspond ing week last year. The receipts to date show a decrease of 108,90) bales domestic and an increase of 51,436 bales foreign against last year.

The Shoe and Leather Review to-morrow will say: The near approach of the national election has no apparent effect upen the hide situation.

The market for dry goods has been universally quiet, without devel opments in any direction of moment. Ruyers have been very conservative in their purchase, and there still continues to be a considerable distance between the contracting parties. There is a general opinion that after election trading will be somewhat livelier, and buyers are evi dently looking for lower prices, notwithstanding the firm tone of buyers. Dried Frnlts.

M'KINLETS VISITORS. General Wood nnd 31. O. nrnlbangh Latter Tells of Porto Rico. CANTON, Oct. 2G. Governor Wood, of Cuba, reached Canton soon after 10 o'clock this morning. He was met at the station by Secretary to the President Cortelyou and taken direct to the McKinley home. He came to confer with the President and Secretary of War Root on a number of matters connected with Ci' ban "affairs. He was accompanied by Prefect Lacoste, sec retary of agriculture of Cuba, and hl3 aid-de-camp, Lieut Frank Rios. Another caller at the McKinley home was M. G. Brulbaugh, commissioner of educa tion In Porto Rico. He came primarily to deliver the President a message from Gov ernor Allen. He also made a verbal re port on affairs of the island and on educa tional matters. Mr. Rrulbaugh said con ditions in Porto Rico are steadily improv ing. There is much Interest and consider able excitement over the first election. The contest has developed lines similar to those in the United States. The Repub lican party is in full harmony with Presi dent McKinley and for the administration, while the Federal party within the past two weeks has indorsed Rryan and declared lor Porto Itlcan and against American ad ministration. The latter party embraces the pro-Spanish element, he said, and the former the great industrial classes. The Republicans, he thinks, will elect a ma jority of the House as well as the commis sioner to Washington. Rapid recovery is being made from the hurricane distress. Mr. Hruibaugh said the picking of a CO per cent, crop of coffee and the grinding of sugar has Just com menced, giving employment to a great many laborers. By reason of the better food now obtainable the death rate has been greatly reduced. Eight hundred schools are now in operation, with StJ.lMJ pu-" pilü, and organization has been effected that will provide for 100.000 additional pu pils. Money Is necessary to execute these plans, and it is hoped to secure for this purpose what remains of $2.000,000 appro priated for Porto Rico before the tariff i ill was enacted. The government cf Porto Rico Is as solvent as any bank, he said, and no debt is contracted until the money is available to meet it. The people as a class are ea;er for education and accept all the opportunity offered them.

The receipts of cattle were comparatively liberal and proved to be in excess of the requirements of the trade. Local killers complained of loaded refrig erator, consequently they were forced to limit their buying, and with shippers unable to get many orders the conditions were very favorable for a satisfactory market. Salesmen seemed willing to transfer their consignments, and did finally sell all they could at steady to a shade lower prices, the decline for an extreme bein probably not to exceed 10c. At a late hour a good many cattle had not crossed the scales and the prospects for a good clearance were bad.

SPECTER OF BRYANISM it has a hktaiidixg ixfll'esci: ox gi:m:hal tuadc Considerable Improvement In Iron and Steel The Advance In Sliver Dradhtrcet on the Situation. NEW YORK. Oct. 2C R. G. Dun & Co weekly review of trade to-morrow will say: The elections mean a great deal to all business interests, and although con fidence in the future Is seen on every hand. It is but natural that men do not care to take unnecessary chances and therefore celay new engagements, as far as possible, until after the ballots are counted. Hut contracts for steel rails for the season thus far are within SO.Cn.) tons of last year's heavy bookings and the confidence In an ultimate marked improvement is so strong that all raw materials are firm, without any speculative activity to stimulate them. The agitation for an advance In billets, though a small one, is an Indication of what the iron and steel markets expect in the next six months, and in the great In dustries sellers of material could easily make heavy contracts if they cared to at tach political provisions to their agree ments. However unreasonable fears may be, it is likely to be better for business la the long run when conservative Ideas for the present are entertained. The weather ever a preat part of the country has been favorable for agricultural operations which are progressing well, and in the Kast ths unseasonable temperature has retarded general trade comparatively little. Conditions in the iron and steel market steadily improve, orders gradually swell In volume, and buyers make less effort to eecure concessions. In most cases quota tions are not altered, but there Is an ad vance to $0 at Philadelphia for billets, owing to the better business In rails. Tig iron moves freely, especially at Chicago, where manufacturers have contracted heavily for finished stuff in excess of raw material on hand. Cast iron pipe is in urgent demand, and new plans for ship building will take plates. Hrldge builders are buying structural forms heavily. Makers of rails and other products of Iron have been accused of quoting better terms to foreign than to domestic buj'ers. If this is done. It would seem to be the manu facturers' affair rather than the newspa pers'. Minor metals are quiet, except for further weakness in tin. Silver has reached the highest price in four years. Cotton showed little recuperative power after last week's decline, and closed lower. The loss in price is $7.80 a bale since Oct. 9. and exporters are still holding off. "Wheat also continued its downward course, owing to the good crop news, here and abroad, but an encouraging feature was the accel erated foreign buying as quotations de clined. Atlantic exports for the week wer 2.935,023 bu, against 2.253.G2G a year ago. and Pacific shipments 678.013 bu, against C5S.5S3 last year. Corn is slightly weaker, while pork products have fallen sharply. Most other provisions are heavy, but linseed oil rose sharply to TOc. The better tone of the boot and shoe mar ket was sufficient explanation for the ad vance in materials. New England shops are busier than for many months before, but thus far manufactured goods have not advanced with materials. Sales of wool at the three chief Kastern markets continue to increase, exceeding five million pounds last week. Prices are not altered, and bids slightly below the market are refused. Cotton goods move rather more freely as the price comes nearer parity with raw material. Failures for the week were 205 In the United States, against 190 last ye&r, and 23 In Canada, against 23 last year. a BETTER INDUSTRIAL SITUATJOX. Strike Settlement Helps Trade Iron, Steel and tbe Cereals. NEW YORK. xOcL 2C.-Bradstreefs t morrow will eay: "Despite some Irregular ities, growing out of unseasonable weather conditions, heavy price changes in leading staples or increased conservatism In soma trades as the election approaches, the gen eral business Mtuation as a whole Is en couraging, and new elements or manifesta tions of strength appear Irom time to tims. Perhaps the most notable feature of the week is found in the industrial situation, which has been systematically Improved by the apparently ofilcl.il and final action taken toward ending the anthracite coal miners strike. In view of the fact that most of the miners have obtained increased wages, the effect on business In the pro ducing regions can hardly be otherwise than beneficial, while the trade at largo must reap benefits from the return to nor mal conditions. Other lines of trade which showed improvement are those of shoes, leather and kindred products at the East, which are reaping the benefit of better distribution. A large and rather more than an average business has been done In wool at the East, with holders more Inclined to demand full prices for their products. The continued weakness of cotton Is an element of uncertainty in the goods trade, but tho firmness of these products, in the face of the lc decline in price from the highest, is a tribute to the strength of the market as a whole. A feature of the movement of produce to market at the present time, not heretofore noted this year, is the grow ing scarcity of cars reported west of the Mississippi. "The strength of demand for finished products of iron and steel, noted for some time past, finds reflection in an improved Inquiry for the cruder forms at leading iron centers this week. Steel billets are reported $2 higher at Chicago, while a sim ilar advance is noted at Pittsburg, -and efforts to raise the level of Ressemcr stevl billets are being debated by manufacture. The belief that consumers' stocks of pig are being considerably reduced is borne out by reports of several 1,000-ton lots being moved at Pittsburg and farther west, and intimations that a still larger business has been arranged for on a conditional basis, dependent upon election tesults. rhlle Southern pig iron is reported un changed at the South, a sharp cut in the same is noted at Western markets. The lowering of coal prices, expected as a re sult of the ending of the strike, is expected to measurably help the export trade in coal, which Is, however, confronted with high freight rates. In spite of this, it is as serted that 1.200.0UO tons of bituminous coal have been seid for export to Mediterranean ports. "Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week aKgrepate 4,143.978 bu, against 3,7.C,W3 bu last week, 4.415,455 bu in the corresponding week of lkM. and 5.560.9K1 bu in 1.S.
