NEW YORK, Oct. 25.-The stock market to-day
was active, principally against Union Pacific,
upon the strength OF the late report OF a dlsa-
greement between that road and the granger
roads with which it connects, and the pressure
| TO sell the stock was so heavy that its prices
were forced OFF to the lowest figure known in
years, on the theory that many dissensions in
the West must result in damage 10 all roads in
granger stocks, which were sold with great free
dom, especially st. Paul, which was second in
extent OF the decline
The trading, especially in the latter portion
of the last hour, enormous, but the cover
ing of the short contracts put out yesterday and
to-day in the leading stocks forced a material
recovery from the lowest DR. ces, which were
from l to ~ per cent. lower than last nights
prices. The close active and strong at the
Improvement. The list is all lower, but the
losses, except in Union PACIFIC; which IS z2sc
lower and st. Paul Ii4c, and Chicago gas llsc,
one for fractional amounts only. Silver certih-
Gates were again extremely weak and returned
to 81 o., but recovered with stocks to 81 "a.
CoTroN-FUrUREs AND SPOTS.

NEW OhLbANS, Las oSts -''-'-@e"o0u' '-O4S'N
g. Co. say:
Futures-It was noticeable day that efforts
to depress the market were more apparent than
real and that shorts covered quite freely.
While the market may go some lower 1t Will re-
act the more quickly on any advance of conse-
uuence. We think there would be considerable
selling, provided the weather condition remain
favorable. Our New York friends advise eau
ton in selling. We close three points lower
than yesterday. Liverpool futures we're better
than expected Port receipts to-day $4,000,
against 49, 600 last year.
F. o. b.-Business largely suspended, country
offering too high and exporters afraid TO buy.
owing to the delay in delivering cotton by the
railroads after arrival here. The stringency of
the money market also restricts business.
Spots-Unchanged. New York quotes them
easy at same quotations, with sales of 1900. We
find them down l-l6c on all grades, especially on
grades lowerShan middling. in some instances
Hsc lower was taken.
