New York, Sept 26.-The stock market
stu maintains its professional character,
and it looks very much as if the activity
and advance in cotton and wheat has
diverted the attention of outsiders, at
least for the time being, to these prod
ucts. The recent remarkable rise in cot
ton. followed up to-day by a gain of &c
in wheat, fully explains the Indifference
OF the specializing public TO the present
duh and narrow stock market. At the
opening the Industrials were strong
Sugar rose about a point to 1OSk the re-
fusal of the governing committee to
take definite action in the matter of
demanding regular statements from the
company having been favorably construed
by operators. Tobacco jumped to 1924,
gam OF rs per cent. on covering of short
contracts. DiStilling and Cattle Feeding,
on the other hand, was weak and fell
rs to Fps, the reports current yesterday
that the Greenhut-Morris crowd and the
political management had reached an
amicable arrangement having failed to
materlalize. The Changers were promi-
nent Tor time and scored slight gains,
the August statement of the St. Paul
having been the favorable influence at
work. Reports of a further advance in
the price Of Anthracite Coal started M
a livelier business in Reading and Jersey
Central around midday, and the former
rose to 2l1a and the latter to 114l5 In the
afternoon trading, however, the market
displayed weakness on rumors that Will
lam II. Crossman & Bro. will ship 81 ,5O0-
900 gold by Saturdays European steam
to attack the list and prices receded
4 to IL per cent. Speculation closed ir-
regular, and in the main weak. Losses
were Il to rs per cent, the latter in Pacific
Mail. The Anthracite Coalers, however
gained y to lss per cent. Bonds were
strong, and the sales footed up $21S3, 600
