New York, Oct. 23.-Affairs at the Stock
Exchange are drifting from bad to worse,
so far as business is concerned, the total
sales to-day having amounted to only
S3,1Sl shares, against l2t,2l2 shares yester-
day. In to-day's total American sugar
figured for over a third, 81 900 changing
hands. The stock advanced rs to 81 al
the start, and then ran of 10 S6AHSbSs
The early advance was asCribed to pur-
chases by parties friendly to inside inter-
ests. Manhattan was in better demand
and moved up ia to 1854. Covering OF
short contracts led to the recovery in the
stock. Northern Pacific preferred was
heavy, breaking 2 per cent. to l6ls on
failure of the receivers to place the S5,-
100000 certificates authorized by the court
Bids for less than 81, 000, 900 were received,
and the general belief now is that the re-
organization committee will have to come
to the front once wore. 1t is inttmated
lildl negotiations btlWG0Al TIC NOlllllAANtNN
and the receivers will be reopened shortly.
The Changers were inclined to weakness,
owing to a belief that the forthcoming
statement of the St. Paul and Burlington
and Quincy will be unfavorable. Long
stock did not come out fast enough, how
ever, to suit the bears, and trader Of
fered to bet thousand dollars even that
St. Paul would sell down point before up
one. This had no effect whatever. Read
ing was neglected, the announcement
from Philadelphia that Master in Chan
Gerry Crawford had filed a report APPROX
ing the reorganization plan, falling fiat.
In the inactive stocks Consolidated Gas
declined ~ to 11SI4. American Tobacco
rose "a to Jos, Cedar Falls and Minnesota
2 to 6, and Pullman Palace IA to 1914. Pan
Handle preferred fell to AZ on rumors
that the dividend may be passed. Specu-
lation closed dull. Net changes show
losses of AQA per cent, outside of North
ern Pacific preferred, which sold down rs
per cent. Rock Island gained Il, sugar and
Dtst1llers a, and Wabash preferred Is
each. The bond market was higher.
