ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The bulls made
their first aggressive stand TODAY for over
two weeks, and after a heavy decline in
the earlier part Of the day. they came to
the support of the market, checked the de-
cline and brought the closing prices very
generally above last nights level There
was nothing in the news Of the day that
could be counted more favorable than
that of the preceding day or two. and a.
stiffening in the rates for money during.
the afternoon might be called distinctly
unfavorable factor. But 1t had no effect
In preventing the recovery, and the close
at practically the highest prices of the
day,
Either this was because the 4 per cent
rate. which was asked, was considered ar
tifcial and manipulative, or because con-
fidence was felt that it would result in
the prompt importation Of gold to relieve
any probable stringency. A further low
ering of IA per cent in the actual rates for
demand sterling to 4.S04h encouraged this
ments of gold for import was freely talked
about today. The market was surprising
ly irregular, prices of some stocks moving
up and down by wide jumps, apparently
entirely independent of any general ten
dency in the market. In the early trading
the raids of the bears on special stocks
in each group were successful in depress-
list by sympathy
Soon afterwards sustained buying on a
large scale became evident, and a heavy
covering movement by the bears followed.
Buying orders by the commission houses
also had added to the strength of the mar
ket, outside customers who had sold short

was a marked change in the whole tone
Of the speculation, the market becoming
dull whenever the bears succeeded N
checking the advance, and showing lively
increase whenever the course of prices
turned upwards. The railroad earnings re-
ported during the day continued to in
crease.
A striking result of the recent sharp
decline in the price Of silver was shown in
the August statement of the Mexican Cen
trail. While the gross earnings showed an
increase Of $166. 1888, the net earnings showed
a decrease Of $685. 47S. This was due. the Of

CHICAGO. Oct. 1.-Wheat opened easy,
at slight decline, December, which closed
yesterday at 9Oss@90N, starting today at
9Oas@90la. This was because of the weaker
English markets. The weakness was es-
pecially pronounced at Liverpool which
market started at an advance of ts@Hd,
but after opening higher had declined to
from I'd to Nd below yesterdays closing
price. All the offerings at the opening
prices here were readily absorbed, how
ever, and an immediate change of direc-
ton was impaired to the market. The dry
weather condition asserted its influence
and the decline at the start was soon wiped
out and an advance inaugurated. The price
