NEW YORK, Oct. 4-Renewed assur.
ances from Washington and credulous be-
llevers were responsible for a comparatively
strong market at the beginning of today's
trading.
London was dull at fractional declines
and did nothing on this side.
Traders were Influenced by reports that
the Senate would reach a vote on the re-
peal bill within the next week or ten days
and that unconditional repeal was ulti.
mately assured. In the present condition
OF speculation the market is very sensitive
and responds easily to prophecies Of an
early solution of the silver puzzle. There
Is nothing in the attitude of the Senate to
warrant the belief that the desired legis-
lat1on Is any nearer at hand than at any
time for weeks past, but the well-worn ru.
NOR has lost none Of its effectiveness
through repeated denials and the lack OF
supporting evidence.
The industrials profited most by the rally
and scored substantial gains in several in
stances. Chicago Gas led the advance with
gain of per cent to 70 Is. General Elec-
trio was marked up per cent to 43 3-S and
Sugar gained to 80.
In the regular list St Paul attracted con.
siderable attention. and advanced to 20 IA
gain of l per cent. Burlington also
strengthened its position by similar gain
and Western Union added 1-8 per cent to

General Manager OdeIl of the Ii. ana
d. Denies Current Reports.

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 4-General Man.
ager Odeil of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company today pronounced the
stories of threatened strike on that road
as abSurdly untrue.
I'VE have not reduced salaries" he said,
land IL is now certain that we shall.
Therefore there can be no cause for disa-
greement with our employees. A majority
OF the committee which was in conference
with me last week represented minority
OF our employees only. l know that the
majority of OUT men would agree to Il
per cent reduction in wages. and, in fact.
the committee came here empowered to ac-
cept such reduction The only question
at issue is as to the length of time the cut
should remain operative. We may yet
agree on that point. Until we order re-
duction of wages. or until some disagree
ment with our employees develops, there can
be no ground for the strike talk"

NO NEWS FROM RIO.
1t is Believed I'm Omcial Circles That
There is No Change in the Situation.

Secretary Gresham told Star reporter
today that he had no news from Brazil
and Secretary Herbert said the same thing.
The absence of inform alton indicates that
there has been 40 very radical change in
the situation at Rio since last advices.
Very little credence is attached to the
rumor that the revolution Is practically at
an end and that peace will soon be re-
stored en- lines satisfactory to both parties
to the quarrel.
In obedience to orders from the Navy De-
p.rtment the cruiser Detroit sailed from
Norfolk today on her long voyage to Rio
to assist the Charleston and the Newark
in the protection of American interests.
The Detroit will follow the example OF the
Newark and stop at Barbados for coal
The Detroit is ready in all respects for a
long cruise. and the only parts of her equip
ment not in place are her torpedo tubes
and appliances, which can be put in on her
return. At the department IT Is said the
vessel will be permanently assigned to the
South Atlantic station, but that II is not
probable she will serve longer than year,
and will then come home and receive the
tOrpedO outfit.
