New York Stock Market Now York. N. Y.. October 2.?Kur a time after the opening of the stock market to-day a renewal of the up? ward movement of late last week ap? peared to be under way. Advances were general in the early transactions. In the cases of Union Pacific, Heading. Lehlgh Valley. .Missouri Pacific, Amer? ican smelting and American Tobacco preferred they amounted to .1 point and United States Steel gained nearly ns much. But the market did not re- 1 tain Its advantages. Offerings at the higher prices wore unexpectedly large, I and quotations soon began to full, j Gums were cancelled, and the market thereafter moved listlessly within an' unusually narrow range. Net changes' In most Instaneea were nominal. A lessened demand from the short 1 Interest deprived the market of its! main source of strength. No attempt j was made, however, to bring about an- , olliei break, and speculators on both Mites ol tile market merely held their | ground. Compared with the wild Hue- i tuatloiis of last week, tue day was; extremely .lull. Thu event 01 the day, which attracted most attention was announcement of the engagement of Sl'.uoq.uOu golo for shipment to Parts, I following ihe exportation oi (1,500,00(1 to tho same point on Saturday. Bmk-: ers were doubttul to-day whether the movement would be restricted to small; proportions. The ultimate destination ol the gold and the significance of the demund from Paris at this critical time! in the European political situation, were, ot course, matters for specula Hon. Paris appeared also as a bidder tor the weekly consignment of >out!i African sold In London to-day, obtain-, ing a part of me Otterings. The nioney market mus tar has not reflected the| expo! la lion ot goio which is tacili-i Ikied by the low rates ruling here 111 comparison with the figures obtainable! in Europe. The unfavorable tenoi of August! railroad reports was emphasized by i the Pennsylvania's showing of a de? crease of 54<S,oriO in net operating revenues. The New York Central sys tern, however, was a markcj excep? tion. Net earnings of the parent roud and its principal subsidiaries increased largely. In the case of Lake Shore a! shrinkage in gross of fli.OOO was ac-1 companied by a reduction in operating expenses of more than (700,000, result- | ing in a net increase of $6S',.u0l>, which, was only slightly more than the net' gain made by the New York Central' proper. The strike on the Harrlman lines, the government cotton report, and war news from abroad were with? out effect upon the stock market, the movement of which was governed al? most entirely by technical conditions. Trading in the steel atocks tell off with the remainder of the market. Net earnings of the United States Steel Corporation for the quarter just end-, ed; it was said to-day, may'be some-, what larger than for a time appeared, probable, owing to the stimulus to business lent by price reductions. The extent to which price-cutting has in? terfered with profits, however, has vet to be demonstrated, but with al iowance tor the deliveries ot steel ill lne lower prices n was estimated than net earnings for the quarter Would reach (31,000,000, A considerable shrinkage- In the European visible supple ot copper \va? reported In to day's fortnightly statement.

All arrested are men of means, and one. ,1, '"1. U Uiescben, is a member of the county board of education*. None of the small fry was indicted, as It seems that the evldem e against all of those arrested consists mainly of United States li? cense end the fact that they received bl|?

The motion will not be ar? gued until next term of court, and law? yers for the defendants claim they can block a removal for two years by a technicality.
