GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Oct. THE stock market
to-day was in marked contrast to that of
yesterday, rather dull, especially in the
afternoon, while in place of wild fuctu-
atoms and sharp movements of yesterday
there were comparatively small changes
in quotations throughout the day, aud
little decided tendency of prices at any
time. The feeling in the street was I'M
doubleday easier and many regarded the
situation Us likely to improve from this
time on. The general opinion was that
any forced liquidation was pretty
nearly completed and that stocks had
und oubtedly gone into strange hands and
evidence of buying by insiders in several
large proportions were seen. A strong
opening was had and the demand from
London, with that from shorts, was suf1i-
Gent to make rather slight guins in
early transactions. The advance, now
ever, was the occasion of some selling,
when the demand Stacked away. and
towards noon the bears gathered courage
enough TO renew the pressure, and prices
were carried down to below opening
figures in almost everything traded in,
while Burlington and Rock Island,
Atch!son, Tennessee coal and some
others displayed marked weakness. Good
buying improved The condition, and late
in the day material recoveries from the
lowest prices was scored, the market
'feaving off quiet but firm, generally at
insignificant changes from opening
figured.
Government bonds dull and steady.
State bonds featureless.
COTTON SPOTS AND FUTURES.
