NEW YORK MARKETS.
Financial.

NEW YORK, y. Y, Oct. 23.-The stock market
was weak and lower to-day and the bear leaders
were more active than for weeks past. They had
in their favor the advance in the posted rates of
sterling exchange TO 81 So and 81 SO, which is &
severe disappointment in view of the recent heavy
sales of bankers bills. The inherent strength OF
the sterling exchange market is creating talk
about gold exports and this plays directly into the
hands of the bears stocks. The absence of out
side orders and the indifference of the bull leaders
is also unfavorable at this time for marginal
holders OF stocks. The greatest pressure 10 sell
was against Manhattan and Sugar. The former
fell from l0S34 TO 1871 ana the latter from 1875
Manhattan was affected by the reports of loss
in earnings on account of the extension OF the cable
system IL Is semi-ofhcally stated. however, that
the Manhattan is carrying more passengers now
than for tn corresponding period last year Sugar
sold down on reports OF unfavorabe trade
conditions and the likelihood o: fight with he
dealers who have refused TO buy from wholesale
houses. The cotton-carrying roads were adversely
Influenced by the short crops which il is said will
make serious jnroads on the earnings of those
companies. Kansas and Texas preferred declined
from 347s to 1895: Missouri, Pacific, from SO to
3514 st. Louis Southwestern preferred from 514
and Southern Railway preferred, from 81 to 1914.
