New York, Oct. IA little irregularity
characterized the opening trading at the
stock exchange, but this soon gave way
TO a firmer tone, especially in the Gran
gers which improved 4Hh per cent. on
earnings of the St. Paul road for the sec
ond week of October. An advance in the
/ posted rates of sterling exchange of 1ac
/ to A.SSl2 and Si.S9l2, however, dampened
! the bulllsh ardor and started mOder-
| ate selling movement. 1t was not gem
| orally known, however that at the de-
| cline a leading bear trader covered fully
! 5000 shales of Burlington and Quincy and
| 1000 shares of DiStilling and Cattle Feed
| ing. The average operator with gold
shipments staring him in the face was
| more inclined to take the bear side or
| the account and the sales for this &C
| count led to a decline of AQlA per cent.

| and Chicago Gas were the greatest SUI
| ferers. Altogether the speculation in the
| usually prominent stocks was again of a
| retail character. This will be seen when
