Wall Street and Business.
The New York circular of Henry Clews says:
"The Wall street horizon looks somewhat
brighter Extensive covering of 'short' con
tracts and readier buying by the larger opera
tors indicate a change of tone, and on the
whole the tendency of the week has been
towards 'bull' ascendancy. There has been no
notable Increase In the volume of transactions,
and as yet the gain Is chiefly seen In in
creased snap and confidence; which Is perhaps
all that could ■■• expected in the first mo
ments df escape from a protracted depression.
This recovery- is largely due to the Improved
aspects of the local money market. The drain
of currency to the interior Is abating, and
the near prospect of the reflux of money to
this center is trusted to bring about an early
revival in speculative securities.
"An ultimately active and much higher mar
ket la almost universally accepted as a fore
gone conclusion, and for manifest reasons.
T'pon a wide range of stocks prices are low
as compared with such an extraordinary ac
tivity In trade a.-= now exists throughout the
country. All accounts from the West represent
the prosperity among the farmers as surpass
ing everything in past experience. The manu
facturing centers also present an activity ex
ceeding all precedent. Everywhere industrial
j.lants appear to be running to their full ca
pacity, and in many cases day and night.
Labor was never so fully employed and never,
aa a rule, received such high wages; the effect
of which must appear ' In a large increase of
general consumption among the working
masses. The recent Increase in the foreign
demand for our manufactures— now amounting
to $339,000,000 per year, against 000,000 six
yearn ago appears to be losing none of its
remarkable progress In spite of the enlarged
home consumption. The mercantile classes
are ■ing benefited by a continuous rise In
the value of their stock? of goods, and their
profits are In welcome contrast to the unsatis
factory results of the last five years of depres
sion. All this reflects the release of enterprise
from the restraints of the depression conse
quent upon the silver craze and the over-pro
duction of the last five or six years. It means
that, for that period, the demand of the coun
try, in every department of consumption, has
r.oen restrained to the last point of endurance;
nnd that now, with common consent, the peo
ple are In the ant of compensating for their
past curtailments In supplying their wants. It
also means that during this contraction of
consumption some nine millions of new popu
lation has come Into existence with Its large
additions to th« wants of the national con
sumption. It Is doubtful whether, even among
the keen observers of Wall street. there Is
any adequate conception of what this change
of condition? Implies as to the magnitude of
the demands now pressing iipnn the markets
and the Industries of the crnmry. True It Is
nothing new to have n rwrUxl nf, trade depres
sion followed by a mrs <-><■ pr-op.;rous activity;
but we have never !..•■. .it n-ftneiwed a situa
tion in which thU kln.^ of r»vlv«] has existed
upon a acalo of such nwiKiittiide a:< wo now wit
ness."

EASTERN MARKETS
New York Stock Market.
NEW STORK, Oct. 25.— The movement of
was Irregularly upward for the railroad
stocks, while many Industrial stocks, especially
of the more recently organized companies,
showed symptoms of weakness. The movement
. f the market was by pulsations, first one
then another group of stocks taking up th»
advance. There was no time during the day
the general level of prices kept company
at the top, the rise in one group giving way
to a. reaction before the advance was taken up
l.• another. M I •:« sluggish
hout the day. Prices teneiaily gave way
after 2 o'clock under the pressure of realizing
In the leather stocks, which had been the cen
ti-r of speculation all day. The earlier gains
wiped out in numerous Instances in this
n. The agrgreeslve advance of the coal
<-!-h checked the decline and rallied the mar
ket, but not to the top level. Tho advance In
:i !-rn was still In force, but with rrregu
lar tendency. The gains In the coalers went
nil the way from a point in the minor members
of the group to 4Vi in New Jersey Central.
lings in th<» leather Btocks were again on
s scale, the common risins at one
2S and the preferred to 82%. Other
points of Individual strength were Sugar, the
Southern group of railroads, the Southwestern
group, lowa Contra) preferred, Ann Arbor pre
l. Great Northern preferred, Anaconda and
American Car, both common and preferred.
ttfc« market opened with a show of strength re
flected from London, where the fortnightly
settlement devoloped quite a large bear ao
■ in Americans, so that London bought
ire as many stocks as were sold for that ac
yestcrday. Large realising met th« ad
■ and the local traders were inclined to the
«lJe. They haJ sonM assistance from the
. -t.ve weakness of a number of st'-vks In the
strlal list. Sucks having to do with the
netal iiulimr.fs were ail heavy, and Pullman,
1 Jeneral Electric and Laclede Gas declined
sharply. Of stocks of the more recently organ
ized companies, American Hoop preferred,
Union Bag preferred and American Malting
preferred dropied from S to 5 points on small
transactions. The continued stiffness of the
money rate, which ruled at 6 per cent or above,
v.&s a discouragement to the bulls. The sud
den drop of 4 per cent late in the day. though
not of much s c:.'.f*. :ance, as an Index of actual
conditions, helped on the late rally in Bt
The recovery In sterling exchange In \t~,\ f
the hardness of money here and the dnip in the
discount rates in London is difficult to explain,
especially In view of the free buying of stocks
by I-»>ndon In this market. There was some
growth of the demand of stocks through com
mission houses In addition to the large opera
tions for account of Influential speculative com
binations. Analysis of the day's changes dis
nowever, that the strength of the mar
ket was decided this afternoon.
There was a cood demand for bonds at gen
erally high prices. Total sales, par value.
$2,110,000. New fours registered advanced 1 t

Chicago Grain Market.
CHICAGO, Oct. Generous rains through
out the Southwest, where claims of damage
by drought have been numerous recently,
started wheat easy. Indifferent cables also
encouraged liquidation. Trade was too dull to
permit of any notable break and the decline
was slow, though sure, the market . finally
reaching a point %@%c below yesterday's clos
ing price. In the meantime corn developed de
cided strength. This, together with general
outside buying, started an upturn and the mar
ket continued to advance until the close. The
market closed firm within - a fraction of the
best price of the day. Shorts were free buyers
on the late bulge and hastened the advance.
December opened ViffiUo lower at 70Vi@70%c, ad
vanced to 7<H4c, declined to 69%@70c, advanced
to 70% c and closed at 70^@70%0.
Corn wa,-» active a.nd irregular. • . An estimate
that Nebraska's yield would amount to 2*4.
--000.000 bushels this year, or 14,000,000 more than
expected, encouraged short selling for a time,
but the pressure had very little effect, as the
market appeared to be oversold. Then early
sellers turned buyers, and In an effort to get
back former holdings the price was bid up
rapidly and the market, from being rather
downwardly Inclined, became- very strong. De
cember closed at 1 31Vi@31%c. . •
Sympathy with corn caused a slight advance
in oats. The market wu very dull and the
bulk of trading consisted of changing Decem
, ber to May. December advanced to 22%0 at
