New York, oct stocks were less ac-
tive to-day, the sales amounting to l19'U6,
against $4,000 shares yesterday. The fail
off in business was partly due to the eN-
element in the wheat market, the Dull
movement in the cereal having attracted
general attention. At the opening stocks
ruled lower, owing to weak cables from
London and moderate sales. Failing to In
duce liquidations the small bears made no
effort to cover and their purchases soon
brought an advance Of Mdl% per cent. In
This rise Sugar, Chicago Gas Manhat-
tan the Changers and low priced issues
were most prominent. Chicago Gas sold
up to within fraction Of 63 on Chicago

ced TO a slight extent by Sugars erratic
course. and part of the advance was lost

changes were merely fractional, either

tai sales were 1906 shares, including 25,-
700 Reading. 25,c00 Sugar. and 2l.S00 ST.
Paul Bonds were active and strong.
