NOW 1orE STOCK Market
NEW YORK. Oct. 2s.-The backing
and filling of the bears constituted the
speculation in stocks to-day. The deal
lngs were upon larger scale than
usual recently and the course of prices
was irregular, drives in the market be-
ing succeeded by q sharp demand for
goods. Some Liverpool buyin0 of cot
ton was reported in this market, en-
coursging the expectation of an in
creased export movement and freer
volume OF bills. The market opened
weak and moderately active. Drives
were made early at Sugar, Leather
Preferred and other industrial shares ON
large transactions. at the end of the
nrst hour, the downward movement was
stemmed, but after brief interval the
decline recommended on continued active
dealings and prices yielded at the
lowest OF the morning. In the late deal.
inRs slight easing off in prices WAS
noted. The market closed STEADY in
tone with but few material net chanpes
in prices.
