NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-The stock market to-day
presented the old spectacle of intense dullness
in the gsgeFaSafst, but comparatively active in
SR9tssShich we're the special object of bear at
St4cfss and while material declines were forced
I'm those few stocks, comparative irmness
ruled. Where quotations were left to take care
of themselves the interest excited by the de-
creased earnings of the Changers for the month
OF August seems to have en- rely subsidized, and
il Is bell eyed that the short interest which was
expected to cover on the pu bica' ion OF the news
has liquaded with the usual stagnation The
forces of depression were turned to-day upon
coal stocks, and in defiance of the improved con-
dition OF coal roads and brightest prospect for
the coming winter, severe drives were made,
stock marked decline was brought about.
Other stocks which suffered also were st. Paul
and Union Pacific, while he Llckaw ma, Della
ware and Hudson and Jersey Central were
comparatively vel held. The news of the day
was not especially important, but the proposed
reduction of rates in the Southwest was can
Celled, and the southwestern stocks, while quiet
and weak, were not prominent in the dealings.
The market, while displaying tendency to
rally in late hours, was raided with more vigor,
and he close was fairly active and weak at the
lowest prices of the day The whole list is
lower tonight and Reading is off 23s; North
America. 25s New England and Union Pacific,
