New York, Oct. 26.-The temper of spec
ulation at the Stock Exchange was un-
mlstakably bullish to-day, and at the end
OF the session prices showed an advance
OF Aq2ss per cent. in practically the entire
list. Heavy purchases, to cover short con-
tracts, contributed to the strength of the
market, but the upward movement was
accelerated by buying for the long account
Tor certain capitalists, who are impressed
with the heavy exports of wheat and other
products, and the influx of gold, and who
also believe in the success of the sound
money advocates at the coming elections
AT intervals reactions occurred, in conse-
quence of the sale of $1,000 to 10000 shares
Tor foreign account, the setback met with
by the bull Speculat ton in wheat and the
advance in the rates of interest here to
S4l0 per cent, but after each decline
stocks were taken freely, with the result
OF causing substantial rallies. The trans
actions aggregated 259,225 shares, the larg-
est total for some time and the dealings
were unusually well distributed, q number
of the low-priced stocks being represented
in the trading. The great feature of the
days speculation was the jump in Sugar,
which, in purchases of g. 400 shares, rose
25s per cent. to lis, and closed at 1l4%
against 1925 on Saturday. Burlington and
Quincy ranked second with $500 shares;
ST. Paul third, with 24,200 and Reading
fourth, with 2S,300 shares. The important
advances follows: Sugar preferred 1%
