New York, Oct. 1.-The stock market
today again showed a shrinkage in the
volume of business. The transactions
aggregated about 10000 shares less
than the receipts Of the previous day.
The course of prices was, in the main,
toward a higher plane Of values, al
though the movement was interrupted
at intervals. There was no percepti-
Bile increase in commission business
and the better part Of today's operat-
ions reflected professional activity. The
market opened full but firm. Strength
soon became apparent, with grangers
and indus trials most prominent. The
last mentioned were as usual affected
by speculations. The coalers as a
group were not particularly active and
the movement OF prices in them was ir-
regular in point Of advance. Lacka-
wanna. which scored the greatest appre-
citation, was noteworthy as to extent
Of trading, only 1,5UU shares being dealt
in the forenoon, but the subsequent
prices were materially above those cur
rent before the recession. The upward
tendency was again impeded around de
livery hour by sales to take profits, but
the losses were only fractional, and
were, in most cases partially recover
ed. Speculation left off dull but strong
in tone. The advances noted at the
best figures Of the day were as follows:
Lackawana 4 per cent, Tobacco 2b per
cent; Chicago Gas rs per cent; New
Jersey Central IA per cent: Tennessee
Coai rs per cent; Sugar IA per cent
and l per cent in Delaware and Hud-
son. Reading. Susquehanna, Burling-
ton, Rock Island and Missouri Pacific.
Some few shares were especially weak,
notably Canadian Pacific, which lost
per cent. and Chicago and Eastern
Illinois Ia per cent. The reports at
tending the movement in Chicago Gas
were not new, consisting Of conjectures
OF an early admission of the proposed
reorganizati ton plan to the Chicoga mu-
nicipal authorities. Regarding Distil-
ling, it was alleged that the details of
THE settlement between the reorganiza-
tion committee, The independent dis
tiiler,S and the Morris inter-
ests had all been perfected and lacked
but the sanction of the court. This
statement impaired an element of
Nagueness to the prospect from the
point Of view of outside spectators.
The strength Of the cOalers was a re-
Election Of the favorable facts known,
and predictions made, regarding the
future of the anthracite industry The
dullneSS Of the Lackaw7ana detracted
from the significance of the reports
OF special desire by prominent inter
ests to secure a specified amount Of
stock.
The total sales Of stocks today were
1873 shares, including: American SUI
gar 10. GOO; American Tobacco 5000; At

Iington $500; Chicago Gas 14,700; Dis

Posts London Financial cable says:
China's prompt acceptance of the Brit
ISL ultimaltum had a good effect on the
markets today, but apart from mines
business was quiet. Americans were
dull on the continued gold shipments.
Russia is said to be calling gold from
Germany to the extent of 1,000, 900, Ger
many taking it from New York because
as an exchange operation II pays Slight
iy better than drawing from Paris.
