NEW YORK, Oct. 4.-Speculation on the Stock
Exchange to-day WAS strong in tone and the
movement OF prices upward, the occasional
slight rea tion occurring being merely the unim-
portant reeessions incident TO a market and due
to realizing sales and bear spurts, but did net
seriously interrupt the tendency toward higher
range OF value. ltwas in the railway list that the
Improvement was most marked, and of this group
the grangers were the leaders. A prominent fac
tor of the situation the firmnesS of American
securities on the London market. although be-
yonu some small buying of ST Paul the foreign
houses were not In the market to any apprec liable
extent. Yesterdays recovered movement was
continued. and SGere sid not seem TO be any bear
lug movement on which the shorts could operate
SO firm was the tone of the situation that effort
to hammer stocks made on the announce
ment OF the appointment of receiver for the
firm OF Coffin & Stanton, which appears to have
been due rather to a disagreement between the
partners than TO any financial embarrassment
their relations having been strained for some time
past
The rum ored death of the Car was also without
effect on the Ket and no better evidence was
needed than that neither of these circum stances
caused the slightest furry. Under ordinary con-
dItions the depression at least would have fol
lowed the the other. Sugar led In the
transactions, and was 80 successfully manpu lated
TO be closed exactly at Yesterdays price of
$3.50. after having been run up TO $3.50, and
sold down to S47sc. There is growing BELIEF
that the controlling interests In tue stocks are de-
sirons OF keeping the price down fer effect on
Congress, and are not ayerse to increasing their
holdings at that lower figure Chicago gas also
stands unchanged on the day, having moved

deal of this stock sold to take the profits of
yesterdays advance while in the later dealings

the bull clique, disikiag too many followers, took
occasion to shut out some of the weaker holders
by letting the price down few points.
