GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS
NEW YORK, Oct 27.-ln the stock
market this morning the bears pegged
u
ciaIty of Burlington and Quincy, the
attack being accompanied by renewal
of the old rumor of an issue of bonds by
the company. though nothing new was
learned about the matter. The general
list, however, was not affected to any
marked extent. and while q steady press
ure by the bears upon the leading shares
caused a slight depression in the fore
noon there was an improved feeling in
the last hour, with desire to cover
sh rts, which became more pronounced,
and helped to recover the losses in the
railroad list, and final prices are gener-
ally upon q slightly higher level than
those of Saturday evening.
The bears brought considerable press
ure to bear upon Union Pacific, Louis
vile and Nashville, Atchison and North
American. While considerable business
was transacted in these stocks, no mate
rial decline was made at any time. The
market closed fairly active and strong at
the improvement, although sugar reacted
over l per cent. in final dealings.
Railroad bonds were rather more than
usually barren and featureless.
Government bonds dull aud steady to
arm.
State bonds entirely neglected.

NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 27.-At-
wood, Violet 4 Co. say: Futures-In adj
dition to private reports of frost IN many
sections last night, the government re-
ports predict heavy frost Tonight in
Tennessee, Northern Louisiana, Misss-
sippi, Alabama and the western portion
of North ana South Carolina, noiwlth-
standing which the market gradually re-
coded from the opening and closed at
prices. The decline was very
gradual.
The prevailing sentiment here and in
New York is bearish, and the market
will evidently require some other support (
than cold weather. The course of the I
market to-day surprised us. The weather [
maps to-day show fair weather every /
W here in the cotton belt.
Port receipts ~ 900, against SO, 900 |
last year. Our New York advices say |
the market closed weak on account of |
impending trouble in the London stock /
exchange Tomorrow. There has been
no confirmation to-day of Ellison g iu-
tended reductions in the world s require
nsnts, therefore his former figure of
500, 900 stands.
F. o. b.-Demand still continues, not
the blockade of the rail-
road. Cottons from good sections are
eagerly sought for at full prices, but
from sandy sections cannot be placed,
sven at concessions. Sales reported to-
lay, 10, 900 bales.
Spots-Opened at 1l-l6c higher, closed
steady at quotations, but unchanged.
Good desirable cotton still in demand and
'ull prices paid. Sales reported, 800;
