NEW YORK MARKETS.

NEW 4ORh nLAhhEIS.
NEW YORK, n. Y. Oct. 5.-Stocks opened ir-
regular, and in the main, weak. The expectations
OF heavy lquidations by London because of the
scare in Kaffirs were not realized, however and
soon after the opening the market improved IA to
per cent. The improvement was due TO pur-
chases by the shorts, and not to any material
change in the situation. When the demand from
this source abated, the market became irregular
again, and number Of prominent issues scored
declines. The particularly weak stocks were
Tobacco, the Changers, sugar, the international
issues and the Anthracites. Tobacco fell 49, 10
9712, Sugar to 1OS34, and the other stocks
named anywhere from 12 to l3k per cent. Chicago
Gas was feverish' ranging between 7014 and TIA.
II was announced that the reorganization plan will
state that dividends will be resumed ON the stock
on January next, at the rate Of 5 per cent per
annum.
An important piece Of news was the announce
meh1 OF me appointment of a receiver for the Or
eEon Improvement Company. The receiver is the
PLSseHt seheral manager OF the company, and the
1ppOln1Ileht was mace on the application OF the
former president, w. II. Starbuck, and was due TO
me failure OF the company 10 meet its October in
teTeSt. Inc STOCK was not Influenced by this new
development but the bonds lost az per cent, sell
ing down TO 81. International ocks such as st.
faul ana Louisville and Nashville, were easier,
and London houses were again sellers. Much in
terest is manifested in the outcome Of the settle
ments IN London which begins October 81, because
OF the slump in Katrs and local operators are dis
posed 10 keep close TO the shore.
The weekly bank statement showed a further
loss in reserve, say about six millions, which
makes the reductio on in the surplus since October
81 last SZ267S 400 The amount held nv the
banks IN excess Of legal requirements is now only
Sl6,41l525, and has revived talk of higher In
terest rates in the near future Speculation closed
