A . ■ -O EASTERN MARKETS. ck Market. NEW YORK. Oct. S«.— Prices of stocks moved Uprvard In the early dealing* to-day according to the general anticipation, but contrary to expectations a serious obstacle to the advance svas met In the violent rise In the rate of call money. The advance did not extend far Into the second hour when the market began to drift downward and met. no effectual check until the clesi?, which was at about the low point a:-.d with prices etill giving way to pres- I sure. No serious net losses are shown In the railroad list, but the earlier gains, which amounted to a t<unt and upward in many ca_«tr«, were pretty generally wiped out. The jnarket opened with a strong and animated t^r.e and a large volume of outside buying friers, invited by the unexpected strength or I th? Saturday tank statement. Tlie demand was particularly large £or the grangers and South westerns and for some ol the Southern raJl r.^ad stocks, notably Louisville, which was up I'm at one time. This s.v«_-k resisted the later depression with sr.ir.* turoess. l.ut closed 7 » b»:ow the best. Even the much-hammered Industrials had some share In the early strength. Sugar rose an extreme 2 points be fore yielding to pressure and the Iron and steel stocks had a short-lived period of vigor. Pressure promptly developed against Steel and Wire uii'i it was weak for the rest of the day, affecting other members of the group by sym pathy. Federal Steel was exceptionally firm. The Leather stocks continued to be largely i. but the gain in the preferred was entirely lost before the close. The International japr «toyks were fiercely attacked, the com mon being forced down 3-» and the preferred 4 points. ihe latter recovered 3 points of Its loss. Rumors coming from Holland of the fall of I*adysmith were without much effect, as London seemed disposed to discredit them. The September statement of St. Paul had a discouraging effect on speculators, showing as Jt did the large increase In gross earnings obliterated by the heavy increase in operating expenses, so that the net earnings for the month are already over (260,000 less than In September of last year. The effect was es pecially marked upon all the grain-carrying roa.ls. The day's events in the call money market showed th:it the extent of the recu peratlon by New York banks was grossly ex aggerated in the first enthusiasm over the Saturday statement. The rate opened at S per cent, and alter dropping to Tjj per cent rose violently in the late dealings to 20 per cent. Bids were made for 40 per cent, but the closing transaction was at 10 |>er cent. It was a Btrlklng demonstration of the unfit condition of the morey market to maintain an active speculation. New York exchange fen sharply at some Southern and Western points to-day although it was harder at Chicago and at Jicston. It Is evident that the demands of the Interior are not yet exhausted. The sub treasury has absorbed a considerable sum from the banks since Friday and some extra demand Is coming on the market for November 1 set tlement. Wai! street opinion upon the money cutlook fell quickly from extreme optimism down into the minus tigures of pessimism. Bonds moved in sympathy with stocks, but the early gains were not entirely wiped out In the late reaction. Total sales, par value, #3, l4c<,(^'. United States 5s (registered) advanced «J and ts (coupon) and 3s H m the bid price. NEW YORK STOCK LIST Efcaxes CTostre Sold.

Oct. 30.— Wheat opened In a tame and spiritless manner and throughout the ses- Elon almost an entire lack of interest was evi dent. There was nothing in the situation to encourage either buying or selling and prices slowly but steadily depreciated owing mainly to lack of sympathetic support. The market kept just a shade above put figure, until the end of the session, the range being only He. when covering : -.• a few shorts started a slight rally and the market closed barely : steady. December opened a shade lower at ; 69"i^70c. sold sparingly at 70c. declined to 6&HC and closed with buyers at 6STi£7oc. Chi cago received -74 cars. The visible supply Increased 1,006.000 bushels, which though nearly 1,000,000 bushels less than expected, was enough to exort a | slight bearish influence. World's shipments to Europe during the week were 7,864, 000 bushels, against 8,475,000 bushels the same week last year, but still about 600.000 bushels In excess of European weekly requirements. Atlantic port clearances of wheat and flour equaled ien.ooo bushels. Cash demand here was very ; . slow. Corn was active but rather steady. A poor cash demand coupled with heavy receipts and predictions of an Increased movement In the near future owing to perfect weather encour aged liquidation. under which the market gradually yielded until near the close when a | partial recovery took place on covering. De- i comber closed at 31 He. A good shipping demand and buying by ele- ] vator Interests steadied Oats. Speculative I trading was light throughout the session. De- I cember closed 22T»c.
