NEW YORK. Oct. 17-Tobacco practi-
cally constituted todays stock market in
point of activity and made a sensational
break to 69A after an early improvement of
point. The slump in this speciality failed
to seriously affect the general list. which
displayed decided strength during the first
hour. The publication of the statement of
averages of tho associated banks how
eyer. eyer gave the market chill although
the selling that ensued was considered to
be more largely for short account. The
loss shown in legal reserve of 50, ,6sS, 100 and
other unfavorable items reflected the ac--
tiv1ty OF money in the crop movement and

an dthe final movement of the cotton crop
have caused heavy shipments of funds to
a more limited. though fairly considerable
inquiry for gold for less legitimate pur-
poses. The banks are combining their offer
and are reducing their purchases of even

the same time there IS no pressuhre Of

The bull campaign in wheat was marked
today by another sensational advance in

night and tx cents over the colse of last
Saturday. As fast as one set OF traders
sold out their wheat a new set would take
their places, thus maintaining q constant
demand which prevented any burdensome
accumulation. Gables were exceedingly
strong and acted as the mainspring Of the
advance: Today upward Of 200, 900 bushels
