THE MARKETS. In Wall Street. New York, Oct. 23.—The stock market was weak and lower today, and the beer leaders were more active than for weeks past. They had In their favor the advanced post ed rates of sterling exchange to $4.S8 and $4.90, which is a severe disappointment In View of the Decent heavy sales of bankers’ bills. The inherent strength of the sterling exchange market Is creating talk about gold exports, and this plays directly into the hands of the bears on stocks. The absence of outside orders and the Indifference of the hull leaders is also unfavorable at this time for marginal- holders of stocks. The greatest pressure to sell was against Man hattan and Sugar. The former (ell from 108% to 107*4. and the latter from 107% to 105%. Manhattan was affected by the re )torts of lose in earnings on account of the , extension of the cable system. K is semi- i officially stated, however, that Manhattan j la carrying more pass^nge-fJ now than for ; the corresponding period last year. Sugar was sold down on reports of unfavorable trade conditions, and the likelihood of a light with tlie dealers who have refused to buy from wholesale houses. The cotton car rying roads were adversely influenced by j the short crops, which, it is said, will make j serious inroads on the earnings' of those | companies. Kansas and Texas preferred declined from 34% to 33%. Missouri Pacific from 22% to 21% and Southern preterred from 37 to 36%. The other prominent is sues declined % to % per cent. The anthra cite coalers were neglected notwithstanding tin* advance in coal and the higher prices for the product. The grangers rah off about half a point, the continued drought in the winter wheat belt being used against these shares. Tic market closed weak, owing to tli.* drop in Sugar. Net changes show losses of V'iai per cent, Sugar preferred leading. Bonds were lower; sales footed up 000. The sales of listed stocks today aggre gated 113,041 shares, and of unlisted stocks f»0,005 shares. New York.

Chicago ’Change. Chicago, Oct. 23.—For inactivity today's wheat market deserved to rank very high. The session ended very much as it began, and with only a trifling difference in prle«6 from yesterday. Wheat opened at 60% c. sold between 60l,4 and 60@6o%c, closing at 60%ff£G0%c, a shade higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was steady'. Corn—As navigation approaches to a close, and more especially os lake freight rates are on the decline, the demand for cash corn for shipments shows symptoms of ini’ provement. The calls for near options in this grain were brisk and imperative today, leading to quite a sharp upturn in prices for those deliveries, but failing to stimulate May in like manner. Another probable rea son for the strength in early futures was that they have been oversold, and as the new grain will not begin to move with any degree of proportions until December the old crop only Is available on delivery. May corn opened at 29%c, sold at 2fiM.@29%c, dos ing at 29%fr?29%c, %c higher than yesterday. Cash corn was per bushel higher. Oats remained almost stationary. The slight variations and fluctuations were due solely to the rise or fall of wheat, but noth ing significant was Indicated by' the changes. May oats closed %c higher than yesterday. Cash outs were steady and unchanged. Provisions--Trade was no better in pro ducts than it has*been of late. At the close today June pork was 12%e higher, June lard 7,/aC higher and January ribs 5c higher. The leading tut urea ranged as follows: Articles Wheat Oct. Dec. May. Corn— Oct. Nov. Dec. May.

Manchester, Oct. 23.—The Guardian in its commercial article says: The market here is under the influence of the fall in the price of cotton in New York and New Orleans. Speculation has not been confined to Amer ica and Liverpool, but has affected many dealers in Manchester, where the market is very unsettled. Ordinary trade is out of the question. The telegrams from abroad with draw even the low offers made previously and order buyers to await fresh Instruc tions. The cloth dci>ortment has been stag nant. Indian buyers have held aloof, and manufacturers in several fresh instances have decided -to stop a part of their ma chinery. Home and American yarns have been sparingly dealt in, buyers refusing to operate owing to ’the situation In cotton lra.de. General Cotton Markets. Cities. c. 8 OQ Galveston.. Norfolk. Baltimore.
