NEW YORK. Oct. IL.
The market showed more resistance to
bear attacks today, ard the general aver
age of prices is somewhat higher. London
sent more encouraging quotations, and the
fear OF immediate go exports has been
allayed. This factor was OF greater inf u
ence than the disappointment felt over the
government crop report, which adhered to
practically its fgu1es of a mon tn ago in spite
of the conclusion reached in trade circles
that its former estimates of the cereal ield
were below the actual facts. Neither the
corn markets nor the western crop expert
estimate rejects belief in the accuracy of
the government complications, and hence
the speculation is not likely to be affected
by the October report permanently. That
there is large corn shortages is undeni-
ably true, but the extent of the damage is
yet to be reflected in railway earnings be-
fore it will be accepted as new element to
govern values. 1t is now apparent that
there will be no shipments of gold until
next week, and in the meantime the foreign
exchanges may Returned toward weakness
by an influx of commercial orarbitrage bills
We believe that the situation will be laig ely
determined by the development in this
direction. 1t is, not at all probable that
new interest viii. be aroused in speculation
SO long MS the question of gold exports re-
mains topic of discussion, and hence the
market will doubtless remain professional
and irregular. The short interest is slowly
enlarging, but the bears do not operate
with their formey confidence. Favorable
news would be apt to stimulate rally, and
If the conditions of the foreign exchanges
do not grow more critical it may do to buy
good stocks on the soft spots with view to
