Securities | ess Active Than for Several
DAYS Past.
New York, Nov 1.-The security
markets We're less active to-day as
compared with the previous DAYS Of the
week. The tendency of prices was
downward, but the decline was stub
bornly contested throughout. AS of late
the selling was mainly for profession
ais who are working for a reaction, al
though here and there in the list sales
to realize profits were noted In view
of the advance of late these sales ex
cite little or no comment.
At the start lower cables from Lon
don and the poor showing of st. Paul
for the first week of November had an
adverse Influence. Prces broke 81 for
Manhattan, to 100A and the general
market ran off A@15s per cent, Sugar
being most prominent. The break in
Manhattan was due to the disappoint-
ment FELT in certain quarters over the
annual election. 1t was expected that
the new board would contain at least
one representative of a leading life In
surance company, but this proving not
to be the case recent buyers turned
sellers
Toward midday the market assumed
firmer tone and commission houses
reported an increase in outside orders,
the result of the successful negotiation
of the Venezuelan arbitration treaty
AS the day wore along the bears be-
came more aggressive and an unfound-
ed rumor of the death of Cornelius
Vanderbilt was used with some effect
Sugar, the grangers, Louisville and
Nashville, Western Union, Tennessee
Coal and Iron, Southern Railway pre-
ferred and Northern Pacific preferred
were especially weak. Considering the
efforts put forth, the decline in prices
was unimportant.
The fact of the matter is that the
feeling is decidedly confident as to the
future, and stocks are finding ready
buyers at each concession. Confidence
was stimulated by the declaration of
the usual dividend by the Burlington
and Quincy, the action of the bitunnin-
Gus coal carriers of the Ohio valley in
forming a traffic association for three
years the increasing ease in money
and the successful placing of the New
York city loan. These bonds were
awarded on basis which returns an
annual income of 3.2 per cent Already
sales have been made to private in
vestors at an advance.
In the late dealings Sugar declined to
12t. The company at the opening of
business announced an advance of Is
cent in refined sugar, but later a re-
duction of equal proportions was made.
Manhattan after breaking to 1904 rail-
lied to 1021s and receded to 1O0A @101.
Speculation closed weak Net changes
show losses of 14@1 per cent. outside of
Manhattan, which fell 21s per cent. To-
bacco was in demand, and rose to S25s
on an unfounded report of a settlement
of the rate war with the Western plug
manufacturers.
Bonds were weak in sympathy with
the stock market. Sales footed up 3d.

Five Persons Killed aud Many Injured
In u ~. Louis Fire.
ST. LOUIS. Jan. alive persons were
killed, one fatally injured, four more miss
ing and 81 received injuries more or less
serious as the result OF an explosion that
occurred yesterday afternoon at 800 North
Second street.
Everybody for blocks around Second,
Third, Locust and Olive streets was
startled by series Of three explosions that
demolished the building at 300 Second
street, in which IL occurred, badly damag-
Ing adjoining property and shattering
thousands Of panes Of glass in the vicinity.
The building occupied by the Anchor
Peanut company and III. B. Grubb, agent
Of Ditwiller & Street, of Greenfield, N. j.,
was set on fire in some manner. The
flames, which started on the first floor
communicated TO n quantity of fireworks
on the second floor, owned by Grubb.
These exploded with terrific force, throw
ing burning brands, bricks and debris in
every direction.
The conclusion had rent the walls ad-
joining the Levison e. Blythe Mucilage
and Ink Manufacturing company and the
Excelsior Wire and Iron Manufacturing
company, and the flames soon communi-
Gated to these two buildings, in which o
considerable number of men and boys
were at work. Three alarms were sent
in. The whole downtown fro depart
ment responded, and the work Of rescuing
the injured was performed in courageous
manner by the police and flremen.
The firemen searched every foot OF tho
ground for the bodies Of the four missin <
men. but were unable TO find any. Tho
missing, 1t is thought, may have escaped
and neglected to report their safety.
