The business for October "a annexed, shows an in-
crease in the gross earnings OF about $500,

decided declire FOR tie DAY Of anything on the list,

tone Of the market the close of the day was that Of
heayine.s and inactivity. Tie bulls have evidently
become dspired by the hesitation on the part OF out
siiers to support a reaction, which seemed very
raturs TO anticipate after the material decline Of the
last week or ter days There have been, consequent

for rise, sni the fraternity of bears are now prob
