GOVERNMENTS, STOCKS AND BONDS.
NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-The stock mar
ket on the whole was active to-day, but
heavy. Dealing were in all sugar re-
rsfineries, which gave tone to the entire
market, and decided weakness was
the rule of the day. There has of late
arisen distrust of the monetary situation,
and strenuous efforts have been made to
create feeling of uneasiness of the
monetary outlook in Europe, although
the best judges say that there is no real
cruise for dstrust. With the first sales
this morning the flood of stocks usually
favortes with London were put upon the
market and effected material depres-
sion in values
The most important element In creating
this depression, however, was the weak
ness in sugar refneries. There have
been of late all sorts of rumors in circu-
lation in regard to the trust and the
possibility OF a receiver, with the result
OF bringing flood of long stock upon the
market. Many orders were uncovered,
and from ~ last evening it was ratified
of to 6914 where some support was
met. This was exhausted in q rally to
7O%, and in the afternoon further drop
to 81 = was made, after which a rally to
6S58 exhausted the recuperative power of
the stock, and it went down to Sc y in
the last hour, net loss of per cent. 1t
rallied feebly on the final dealing, but
closed at the closest point of the day,
Chicago gas sympathIzing, the rumors of
new suit sending it off 23L per cent,
and while the railroad list met with some
severe pressure, prices kept within
fraction of opening figures In
most of the list, though Union
Pacific and Louisville and Nashville were
weaker than the rest, especially in the
afternoon. The Missouri, Kansas and
Texas closed active and weak at about
the lowest prices of the day. The final
losses are generally small fractions, but
sugar is off SO, Chicago Gas 25s, Louis
vile 15s, Cleveland, Columbus, CIncin-
natl and st. Louis / Is Union Pacific 10,

Railroad bonds quiet.
