New York, Oct. 21.-Under the influence
| of higher quotations from London. the
active export demand for wheat and the
| prospects of an increase in gold imports
| speculation at the Stock Exchange open
| ed with decidedly buoyant tone. Prices
| went up with a rush, and there was some
| lively covering by the shorts, who were
| thoroughly alarmed. Inc ADVANCE was
| equal to Aq1A per cent, and SO pronounc-
| ed was the bullish temper that for a time
| the advance in the posted rates of ster-
| ling exchange to 4.S1G4S415, and a prob
| able advance in the Bank of England dis
| count rate tomorrow, were entirely ig-
nored. Subsequently, however, they ex-
ercised an unfavorable effect, especially
as advices from Chicago reported quite a
| break in wheat there. Between the real
izing sales and renewed offerings for the
short account by local operators, the early
| improvement was not only lost but a
number of shares sold below last nights
figures. AS compared with the best
prices of the morning, Sugar yielded "a
to 1895, Tobacco 15s to 69B Burlington "a
| to 72& Chicago Gas IA to 64% st. Pam
| Is to 715s, Rock Island 1 to $685. and the
| remainder of the list 4 to q per cent
Near the close these dealings were en-.
| livened by a jump in Reading from 23%
| to 251s, and the remainder of the list raj
lied x to u per cent. Although the mar
ket closed firm, the dealings lacked the
animation that characterized them early
| in the day The decline in the rates for
money contributed to the late rally. The
transactions aggregated 226523 shares, in
GLIDING 1880 Reading, 81, 800 Sugar. 26,90O
| St Paul and % 500 Burlington and Quincy.
Net changes show gains of 1aG1h per
cent. Sugar and Manhattan lost son
| per cent The market for railway and
transactions were heavy, amounting to
$1,55S,OOO.
