New York, Oct. S.-Trading at the Stock
| Exchange was fairly active to-day, 240,500
shares changing hands, but the bulk was
| in a few stocks. Sugar alone figured for
as much as 49, 900 shares and St Paul, Bur-
! lington and Quincy and Manhattan, $780,
| 2l600, and 20600 shares respectively. Moth
! ing else on the list was traded in to the
! extent of 5000 shares. During the early
part of the day the market was feverish
and unsettled under sales for both the
! long and short accounts, and small hold
| ers realized freely on the Changers. The
decline was equal to 14Q5s, the latter in
| Sugar. Later speculation assumed a
| stronger tone and prices advanced all
along the line. Manhattan rose rapidly
| from SS2l to 9112 on a revival of rumors
| about a pending deal with the Metropoli-
| tan Traction, and Tobacco made an
| equally sharp advance on covering of
| short contracts. This stock sold up from
| 65s4 to 6S24. The general list improved "a
| 1$s, and the rise was well maintained IN
! til just at the close, when Sugar suddenly
| fell to 1O7 on heavy sales Louisville and
| Nashville was strengthened by the fav-
! orable character of the annual showing
made public yesterday, and on a belief
| that the Thoma s-Ryan-Seaboard line deal
! will put a speedy end to the rate troubles
! in the south. The market closed weak
for Sugar and steady for the general list
| Net changes show gains of 14Q1A per cent;
| Tobacco and Manhattan leading. Sugar
lost "a per cent on the day. In Gas stocks
Bay State fell per cent to Ill on Boston
! settings, and Consolidated of New York
| dropped 21b to las; Bonds closed firm; the
sales footed up 1886, 900.
