NEW YORK STOCKS.
New York, Instead of London, Now Takes
the Lead in Making Prices-Sugar
Refineries an Element of Weak
ness in the Market,


ness in the Market.
NEW YORK. October 20-The wiping out of
the entire surplus of the bank reserves again.
as shown by the statement of Saturday, once
more brings the monetary question before Wall
street as a subject for discussion. and uneasi-
ness and the calculations of the habitues of
the street are again hinged upon the probable
ity of easy money or the:reverse 1t is estimated
that the expenditures of the Government, tax
en- in conjunction with the issue of silver
certificates from this time on. will exceed the
amount of funds absorbed by the Government
for customs and revenue; but the accusations
of the locking up of money for speculative pur-
poses by some large interest are heard again,
and the absorption of over $50. ,0C0 surplus
in so short time, with no speculation of mo-
ment. is rather surprising. 1t is assumed that
an improvement in the monetary situation
abroad will induce buying of American securi-
ties whenever our market gives any encourage
ment
Reports were circulated also that there was
news in London of further financial difficulties
in South America, anu the selling in this mar
ket. apparently for London account, was most
influential factor in our market to-day This
selling was ably seconded by the bear party and
the traders. who were pronouncedly beari. III
this morning, and the temper of the market
| was therefore, weak and declining throughout
| the day. From the action of the bears, how
ever there Is reason for suspicion of the appar-
| ent weakness of the London market and the
| sales for foreign account.
| The market was active only in spots and
| these spots wer where the greatest pressure
| of short stocks was felt. The opening followed
| London. which was lower for all American
| stocks, and this market opened in sympathy
| with the decline. all stocks being from "a to q
| per cent lower than Saturdays closing figures.
| Reliable advices from London of late show
| that London is not inclined to take the lead IN
| making prices for American stocks, but follows
| closely the American market and all the re-
| cent occurrences where the reverse has been
the case have been used by pressure from this
| side. This mornings market had much that
| appearance. Prices here in the early dealings
clearly showed tendency to continue
| the upward movement of Satur.
| day, although there was little actual
! strength shown anywhere. except in Chicago
Gas and North American, but the fact remains
| that in spite of the lower London figures and
| the lower opening, fractional advances were
| scored in the first hour.
| Special pressure was brought to bear upon
Union Pacific, Louisville and Nashville and
| Atchison, however, and the course of prices
| was reversed. when a new element of weakness
| appeared in Sugar Refneries. in which the pros
| pect of further legal impediments to the re-
| organization were made the most Of to shake
out speculative holders of the certificates.

ping. although thirteen men were pun

than had been seen for years.

HOUSE DESTROYED.
Moses A. Gibhart's Family Return From
Church to Find Their Home in Ashes.


Church to Find Their Home in Ashes.
Last evening Moses A. Gibhart and
family left their home at No. 1890 Oak
street. going to church. Sometime af-
forwards passer-bY discovered smoke
issuing from the doors and windows N
the dwelling, and Immediately struck an
alarm at Maryland avenue and Cedar
street from box 36. Before the Fire De-
partment hove in sight. however, the
building was in light blaze and burning
like finder The Weccacoe steamer and
the Reliance hose cart arrived at the
scene after much difficulty. Their heroic
efforts to save the building proved to be
of no avail, as the flames continued tc
spread, finally bursting through the roof
and leaping high into the air.
The dwelling burned for an hour and q
half and none of the contents could be
saved. The loss is said to be fully covered
by insurance. Twenty-Five hives Of hees
which had been removed to the rear OF
the yard in the morning escaped the
fury of the flames. When Gibhart anc
his family returned from church the
ruins of their former home were all that
could be seen. They had no knowledge Of
any fire in the house except in the
kitchen stove.
