WEpNEspAY. Oct 81.

WEDNESDAY, Oct -.
Yesterdays Improvement in prices on the
Stock Exchange influenced professional trading
for a short time this morning. and then the mar.
ket for securities became dull and heavy. The
continued and conspicuous absence Of support
from important interests prevented new ven.
lures for long account and at the same time en-.
couraged fresh operations on the short side. In
consequence the tone Of the market was heavy
until the afternoon, when the street was sup
piled with advices from Washington regarding
the reply Of the Spanish Government to the note
addressed to 1t by this country through its new
Minister at Madrid to the effect that Spain COM
plains Of the inability of the United States
authorities to prevent the departure Of arms
and men from various points on the coast to
Cuba. and may insist upon searching American
vessels which it suspects OF conveying succor to
the Cuban insurgents. There was really moth
ing new in the advices from Washington upon
this subject; but that did not prevent the specu.
latiye community from selling upon the de.
s~patches referred TO as a prctext for u decline in
prices that was not unnatural in view of tho
narrowness OF the market and the apathetic at
tidude OF important interests.
The heaviest trading was again IN Union
Pacific. The transactions in that stock were.
however. nearly n third smaller than yesterday.
1t also scored the greatest net decline. This

effect upon the status o; the new securities OF
the decision of the Reorganization Committee
to raise Its minimum bid for the Union Pacific
main line $s. 900. 900. This operation will
increase the fix-d charges of the recognized
company about $35O.0O0. which Is n compare
lively small amount. Present indications
are that the Kansas Pacific lines will be
secured at about the minimum price agreed
upon between the Reorganization Committee
and the Government. The preferred stock
Of the reorganizcd company Is obvi'
ously not affected by the readjustment
caused by the higher price to be paid for the
Union Pacific main line. The burden of tho In
creased fixed charges falls upon the new com
mon stock, but 1t Is not sufficiently large to at
feet It's value materially. The Granger stocks
Chicago Gas, and Sugar Refining were tho only
ones other than Union Pacific In which the deal
ings exceeded 10000 shares. Sugar Refining
was exceptionally weak, while the others CLOSED
only fractionally lower than yesterday. TIT
tone at the close was heavy, owing to the revi
val Of fears OF a rupture of diplomatic relations
between this country and Spain.
Final sales compare with those OF yesterday
