Review, Received Daily by Pullen, Crock

NEW YORK. Oct. II
The market was without new features to-
day and the shorts were responsible for the
general rally. The further relaxation in
the foreign exchanges removed all danger
of gold exports this week and even gave
some encouragement to brighter forecast Of
next week. The extreme reluctance to
ship the precious metal is shown by all
foreign houses and the outward movement
is possible now after decided advance in
exchange rates. The easier turn OF ex-
changes against London on the continent
has removed the possibility of any trlangu-
lar operations by which gold would be
drawn from this country to Europe. 1t is
now by no means certain, however that the
street may not suffer from another menace
OF gold exports and hence it is not probable
that the speculation will move with con-
hdence Tor the present. Financial circles
are also affected by the fear of a revival
OF silver agitation when Congress assemblies
although before that time it is possible
that the character of the congress to be
chosen in November may have some reas-
surfing influence. The railway situation
is without decided change although more
frequent gross gains are being shown in
the current reports of railway earnings.
We see no prospect of any sustained move
ment N the market at the moment. but
it is not impossible that a further demand
from the bears may strengthen values a
little more. We advise that close watch
be Kept upon foreign exchange conditions
for the speculation is exceedingly sensitive
at present, with the outlook promising
little more than occasional rallies on the
short interest.
