New York, Oct. 23.-The bulls had an
other field day at the stock exchange.
While the dealings were again mainly pro-
fessional, the commission houses reported
the receipt of a moderate amount of or
ders for outside account. The existence of
latent short interest afforded the bulls
material aid in their operations. The rise
in sterling exchange did not check the up
ward movement, which continued to make
progress until a late hour. Chicago Gas
was the real leader and rose 37s to SO, on
brisk purchases. The movement was based
on the reports that the political situation
in Illinois is more favorable for the prop
erty and that the insiders have already
taken the preliminary steps looking to the
disbursement of the surplus funds in the
treasury and which have been withheld
from the stockholders by prolonged liti-
CATION. Sugar was another prominent card
and jumped 21a to 11212. 1t was said on good
authority, that two big shorts were fright
ened into covering. Manhattan moved up
~ to 92A, and the remainder of the list
improved anywhere from Il to 19s per cent.
In the case of the Changers and other
L. q.
day were generally recorded by midday.
Late in the afternoon under extensive
realizations and the withdrawal of 81 600
gold from the sub-treasury in exchange for
legal tender notes by Laidlaw a. Co., a re-
action of a to per cent ensued Specula-
ton left off firm in tone. Net changes show
gains of AG3A per cent, the Industrials
leading. In the specialties, Metropolitan
Traction rose per cent to SO, and Mime
sofa Iron per cent to 50. The total sales
were 223, S25 shares, including 1890 Sugar,
2450O Chicago Cas- 1900 Louisville and
Nashville and 20,500 st. Paul. Railway and
miscellaneous bonds were strong and
higher. The total sales were 81 1913, 600.
