| New York, Oct. 15.-Stocks were strong
| during the first hour of business, prices
| advancing Aq1A per cent. in the general
| list, and per cent. in the case of Amer;-
| can Tobacco. The improvement in the
market was the result of the failure of
| the Bank of England directors to advance
| the rate discount to per cent, as pre-
| dicted on yesterday. Tobacco jumped to
76 on revival of the report that the COM
| pany had made a deal with it's princi-
| pal western competitors. Sugar and
| Leather preferred were notably firmer on
| favorable trade reports. Refined Sugar
| was again advanced 1-16c for certain
| grades, Business, outside of the Indus
| trials, was of a limited character, the
| III IilltSS u money ana the approaching
| national elections having a tendency 10
| check operations. In the late trading a
| weaker tone prevailed, the heavy with
| drawals of gold from the sub treasury,
| some 100000; the cessation of gold en-
| gagements and a firmer market for ster-
| ling exchange having had an adverse m
| huence. Sugar and Bay State Gas were
especially heavy. The former dropped 2,
! to lOAQl01s, on a rumor that a movement
| was on foot to consolidate the outside re-
| hneries against the American Sugar Com
| pany. Bay State Gas declined from 13Is
to 81; New England concerns were the
| most prominent sellers. The street w Is
flooded with reports of a serious nature
about the property. Boston finally sent
| denials, but the stock showed no rallyng
| power. The selling of Sugar however, has
| the most effect on the market and near
| the close standard issues as a rule touched
the lowest figures of the day London
was a moderate seller of st. Paul and
Louisville and Nashville. The former was
! sold on belief that he decrease in earn
ings for the second week of the current
| month will be very heavy. Speculation
closed weak. Net changes show losses Of
| AQ1 per cent, compared with yester-
days final quotations. Total sales were
1SO5H shares, including $4,000 Sugar, H.
100 st. Paul and 19, 200 Tobacco Bonds
were strong. Sales footed up $4,000
