New York, Oct 2.-The situation at the
Stock Exchange to-day showed very little
/ change The volume of business increased
moderately, but the movement in the
leading shares. as has been the case for
/ several days past were most cratic. At
/ the start prices were fractionally higher
all around. chiefly because of the receipt
OF higher quotations from London, and
/ the execution of moderate buying orders
for foreign account AS the day advanced
I the bears displayed more courage and re-
sisted the efforts OF their opponents to
/ lift prices st. Paul was a pivotal stock
! II opened y per cent. higher, at 72A
and promptly went back to Y, but at this
/ figure a sharp contest developed and de-
spite free sales for both accounts, the
stock held stubbornly. Finally the pres
sure TO sell carried il down to nv Sugar
was another stock that displayed
strength in the early trading, rising * to
11l7k but In this case, also, the buyers
were filed up and a rapid decline TO 1105s
| ensued. The continued selling is attri-
butable to the unfavorable condition Of
\ the sugar trade, due partly 10 the offer
| ings Of German sugar in his market The
! losing Of the Spreckel's refinery in Phil
I adelphla, also. had an adverse influence.
1 The decline IN st. Paul and Sugar was
| followed by a reaction in the general list
| Of hMlM per cent, while Leather pre-
/ ferred broke 3i6 to 55i4. and rallied to 56lz.
