NEW YORK MARKETS.

| NEW YORK, N Y, Oct. 7.-Until a late hour
! the stock market was dominated by bearsh in
| huences and at one time prices showed losses of
A@21 per cent In the downward movement
the industrials and grangers were most prominent
although the anthracite coalers were not far be-
| hind. The factors at work were slightly higher
| rates for money due to the steady reduction in
the bank reserves, and the Colorado freight wars
! Higher cables from London and foreign purchase
or fully 10000 shares of various stocks, further
advance in refined sugar and intimations of a rise
in anthracite coal, were all ignored for time. The
! bears were more aggressive than for some time
past, and the brokers acting for operators gener-
ally identified with the short side OF the account
| seemed to monoporige business in the early hours
| OF business.
In the late trading an attempt was made by the
bears TO cover their short contracts. They found
| 1t more difficult, however, TO buy than they had
expected, and prices were easy advanced "a to 2
per cent, the anthracite cOaerS leading the
movement. Jersey Central sold up from III Ia to
| 1131a; Lackawanna from 1874 to 1698s; Reading

| firm in tone. As rule, however the general run
| OF active issues show losses Of 1A@1s per cent.
