New York, Oct. 3.--The reactionists In
the stock market met with some success
during the early trading al the stock ex-
change to-day. This was partly due to a
further reduction in certain grades of re-
fined Sugar and statements that the con-
dition of the trade is such that prices will
have to be further reduced in the near
future The stock sold down to 1O9ss and
closed at 1905. The stock lacked support
and this weakness led to sales of other
prominent issues. st. Paul and the Grang-
ers were unfavorably affected by the Sep
TENDER statement of the road.
For that month the gross earnings, as
published to-day show a falling off Of
$2O4 Ill. The decline in prices outside Of
Sugar was unimportant and in the last
hour of business peculation took on a
firmer tone. The late recovery was due
to the unexpectedly good showing made
by the associated banks According to
the exhibit, the banks gained nearly $1,000
900 in cash and strengthened the surplus
reserve in the sum of $2,310000. Loans
for the first time in months were expanded
legitimately, the increase being over $780,
GOO. Manhattan, Tobacco and Louisville
and Nashville were notably firm. To-
bacco bounded up "a to SAG on extensive
covering of short contracts. Manhattan
advanced to 9l1a on the revival of the
old story OF a deal with the Metropolitan
Traction Company. The market closed
firm in tone In the active stocks Morris
and Essex brought 100 against $50, the last
reported sale. Total transactions, %, $50
shares Bonds were quiet and lower
Total sales, S4O5,OO0.
