New York, oct. Until a late hour the
stock market was dominated by bearish
influences, and at one time prices showed
losses OF AnZ4 per cent. In the down
ward movement, the Industrials and
Changers We're 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 war. Higher cables from
London and foreign purchases of fully TO-
GOO shares of various stocks, a further ad-
vance in refined sugar and limitations of
a rise in Anthracite Coal were all ignored
for time. The bears were more agrees
siVe than for some time past and the brok-
ers acting for operators generally iden-
titled with the short side of the account
seem to monOpolize the business in the
early hours of business. In the late trad
ing an attempt was made by the bears to
cover their short contracts They found
it more difficult, however to buy than
they had expected, and prices We're easily
advanced Il to per cent, the Anthracite
Coalers leading the upward movement
Jersey Central sold up from 11115 to 49,
Lackawanna from 1914 to $685.; Reading
from 20A to 2l5s Sugar from 108 to 1895
Chicago Gas from 6S34 to TO- and Tennessee
Coal and Iron from AZ to Az The mar
ket closed firm in tone. As a rule how
ever, the general run of active issues show
net losses of AMB per cent. Manhattan
Tennessee Coal and Iron and the Coalers
declined u to Is per cent Bonds We're
lower. The sales were $1,603O00. The sales
of listed stocks aggregated 263, 092 shares
and of unlisted stocks S0,307 shares
