NEW YORK, n. ", Oct. 10.-The railway and
miscellaneous speculation was irregular. and, In
the MAN, heavy to-day. Sugar marked ex-
ception and ruled decidedly firm on covering OF
shorts. This stock advanced z1e to l0I on heavy
dealings 51,7Q0 shares changing hands on the
way up. The declining tendency OF the general
market was attributed 10 the weakness In LONDON
lower prices for American securities there and an
advance IN the discount rate by the Imperial
Bank OF germany. which. it is claimed, fore
shadows some action by the Bank OF England
next week.
Part of the selling was credited to conservative
holders who wish TO reduce their lines over the
elections. Further en-. agements OF gold in Lon
don for shipment to New York had no effect, nor
did the bank statements This e1hlolt SHOWS thht
the banks are gaming very little Tor The god IN
hux. Ibey are however, extending their loans,
the Increase this week being S3227, 100. The
Grangers. Anthracite Coal and louisville and
Central go down 100, the lowest figure in some
time. The loss in the Grangers and Louisville and
Nashville was equal to / IA per cent
Manhattan was erratc, ranging between 901S@
921s closing at 9034. The rumors about deal
with the Metropolitan Traction, however, have
not materallzed and, according TO good aut hority
there is vtry little prospect Of an arrangement be-
tween the two companies. As O result some of
the small bulls were sellers TO-DAY. Metropolitan
Traction Was also easier and declined So. Specu-
lation except for Sugar was heavy i'll the closing
dealings. and the leading stocks scored net losses
of I4@l14 per cent on the day. sugar gained
nearly points on the day. In the active
issues Nickel Plate first pr fsrred rose 21a to 10,

total sales were lo4,5 ,59l shares.
