THE MARKETS.
In Wall Street.
New York, Oct. 20.—An advance in sterl
ing exchange to $4.88% and $4.89% started a
fresh selling movement In stocks in the first
hour of business. The strength of exchange
of course revived the talk about exports of
gold, but leading bankers were <5f the opin
ion that shipments were not likely this
hveek, at least. So far as next week is con
cerned, however, they were not so confident.
The greatest pressure during the early part
of the day was directed against he indus
trials and Reading. The last named fell
from 17% to 15%, rallied to 16% and dropped
to and closed at 14%. Rumors were current
that the assessment on the stock under the
proposed plan of reorganization will cer
tainly be $20. and may reach $30, while the
Income bondholders will probably have to
pay $10. for which they may receive a little
new preferred stock in exchange. The stock
■was unusually active and figured for 70,000
pharos in a grand total of 276,061 shares. In
the industrials Tobacco was particularly
weak and'dropped 3%, to 70, on reports that
the fight with the plug tobacco people was
costing the company dearly. Sugar was
steady for a time, but in the last hour, on
sales by brokers supposed to be in the em
ploy of lower Wall street interests, the
stock broke 134, o 101%. General Electric
sold down from 34% to to 32% and Chicago
Gas from 68% o 66%. The decline in the Tast
named was attributed to sales by holders
whose margins had been weakened by losses
In other parts of the list. The railway list
foil off ’.» to 1*4 per cent In sympathy, but
In the afternoon the losses wore partially
recovered on the favorable September state
ment of the Chicago. Burlington and Quin
cy; Chesapeake and Ohio; Memphis and St.
I^ouis and Canadian Pacific. Pacific Mail
Shot up from 30% to 31% on the old story of
a settlement with the Panama, but later
returned to 30%. In the last hour the bears
resinned aggressive tactics and the im
provement noted was not only lost, but a
number of leading issues touched he lowest
point of the day. The particularly weak
stocks at this time were Reading, Sugar,
Jersey Central, Atchison, Canadian -South*
cm, the grangers and General Electric.
The Erie Telephone and Telegraph made a
sensational drop of 17 points, to 50, rallied to
G2 hid and closed at 58 bid. The sales were
only 1200 shares and the break was consid
ered o be simply an old time coup. The
general market closed weak and % to % per
cent lower on the day. National Starch pre
ferred rose %. to 49%.
Ronds were weak. Sales footed up $l,32u,
00".
Sales of listed stocks aggregated 215,711
shares and unlisted 61,153 shares.

Chicago 'Change.
Chicago, Oct. 2*,).—After the usual recogni
tion of the drouth scare by opening linn
and slightly higher this morning, wheal fell
under the spell of the heavy northwest re
ceipts, lower London cables and poor bus
iness',aml ruled weak and lower up to the
close, which was the low point for the day.
The opening was the highest, he notably
weak period of the session being a little
after noon and was apparently due to sell
ing by New York and local longs, the former
for short account and the latter because
they had grown weary of waiting for a bull
movement. December wheat wheat opened
from 60ft to 60%c, dropped to 59%c, where It
closed, %e under yesterday. Cash wheat
was w-eak and per bushel lower.
It was quiet in tin* corn pit and prices, al
though experiencing weakness through tlie
relationship of this grain and wheat, did
rjiot materially decline. The range scarcely
exceeded ftc limit, the business finding am
ple. scope therein. May corn opened at 29ftc,
sold at declined to 2!*ftct where it
closed, ftc under yesterday. Cash corn was
steady.
Oats were Influenced entirely by he feel
ing in wheat. Price changes were not im
portant and were confined to narrow boun
daries. May oats closed fto under yester
day. Cash oats were firm for all grades,
with white quotably ftc higher.
Provisions—-Traders encountered further
discouragement this morning In the state of
affairs at the yards. Early the report was
weak and lower. Later another dispatch
was received quoting a decline of 10$fl5c.
Products gave away to the depression com
municated, prices ruling at declines all day.
At the close January pork was 10<&J2ftc low
er than yesterday, January lard 2ft(b'5c low
er, January libs 2ftc lower.

Sun's Cotton Review.
New York, Oct. 29.—The Sun’s cotton re
view says:
Cotton rose 20 to 21 points, then reacted
and closed 12 to 13 points above the last
prices of yesterday, with the final tone
steady and sales of 302,000 bales. Liverpool
advanced 6 to 6Vfe points and closed firm,
with 8pot sales of 10,000 bales, and spot
prices 3-32d higher. New Orleans advanced
18 points and then lost 7 points of the rise.
The port receipts were 42,032 bales, against
50.860 bales this day last week, 73,726 last
year and 88.472 bales in 1893: tl>us far this
week 119,754 bale#, against 165,000 thus far
last week. New Orleans expects tomorrow'
12,000: to 13,090 biles. In Manchester yarns
were higher, but less active; cloths were
dull. Spot cotton’ advanced 3-16c at New
York and Norfolk. *4c at Charleston, at
Wilmington and'Havahnah and l-16e at Mo
bile. Memphis soLd 3150 bales.
Today's features—Increased strength in
Manchester on which the bulls dilated with
much satisfaction; a rise in Liverpool, with
godd buying orders from that market; large
purchases, by New Orleans; a rumor that
Neill Bros, .will estimate the cotton crop at
0.250.0(H)'bales,-nod a disinclination on the
part of the south to sell at current prices
caused a strong‘fooling in the market here
today, which led to a decided advance. Lo- !
cal operators covered freely. Wall street |
bought and southern orders; to buy were
plentiful. Weak holders haVe been weeded
out knd the cotton Ls in the hands of strong
holders. The general feeling ls bullish, j
The crop movement is comparatively mod
erate^ and planters and dealers at the south ,
show a disposition to hold cotton for higher
prices. Parfc*of the decided rise early in the j
day was lost before the close, owing In u |
measure to selling by exporting houses,
wht) are believed to have Increased their ;
purchases of spot cotton at the south and
aro following the usual custom of hedging
against such purchases by selling futures
in New York. Besides. leading firms sold
at the.advance to realize profits, among
them, it is understood, being Inman. Swan ;
& Co.and Wall -street houses, as well as the
south. The speculation is once more ex
panding.

Dry Goods.
New York, Oct. 29.—The Journal of Com
merce and Commercial Bulletin, In its week
ly review of the dry goods market, says:
The strength of the dry goods market for
cotton goods, in the face or the recent heavy
drop in the price of cotton, was a surprise
to anumber of buyers, who tested the mar
ket by bids for qualities for future delivery
of staples at priced baaed upon the expecta
tion of that Influence only to have th^m
turned down. It ha# therefore been no sur
prise to find that the general tone today is
practically as firm as it ever was, seeing
that cotton has covered something like
oue-half of the previous decline from the
highest point. The week’s business has
been one of quiet on a moderate scale In
staple cottons, but good deliveries has gone
forward in evchange orders. Cotton dress
