MONEY And INVESTMENTS.
The Bulls Maintained a Waiting At

SHARP DECLINES IN SPECIAL STOCKS
Thc Dealings I'm Bonds Were some

New York. October The bulls main
tanned waiting attitude for the most
part OF today's market and the bears
were successful in raking out further stop
loss orders and depressing the general
level OF the marko, further sharp frac-
ton. There seems TO be long stock TO
sell and the bears are thus encouraged
to continue their efforts. Where there
is evidence of realizing they apply pres
sure by selling The consequence OF this
policy was some very sharp declines IN
special stocks during the day. Sugar,
Chicago Gas, Manhattan, Bay State and
the Changers were the objects OF the most
aggressive attacks. All the factors in
tho general situation indicated con,
tinued increase in active shares ana
crease except the exaggerated level OF
prices which have attained. One of the
features of the day was the large buying
in Pennsylvania and a sharp rise In the
of the withdrawal from the Bank of Eng

steady import of gold Sterling exchange
Ell at sellers option for the rest of the
month. The New York clearing house
banks now hold s92, 600 in specie COM
pared with $50, sol 900 a year ago. The
last of the first lot of gold engaged in Eu-
rope for import two weeks ago has ar
rived from Genoa and has been deposited
to the account of importers. Although
the New York banks have lost in the last
two weeks SIG, COS, 800 of their deposits the
sfec'es in cases of reserve has shown an
increase in the same time. The United
States treasury gold reserve has also
been increased at the same time mil
hon dollars a day for several days past.
The sales of money in New York show
no tendency to harden. If all these cir

porance attaches to the movement of
gold hither. London was buyer on the
market today. and railroad earnings con-
tinue to show increases. The dealings in

LOCAL MARkEr REVIEW.
Office of The Post.

4
Houston, Wednesday, October 8.
| Local dealers In cotton seed products
report the market fairly steady at the
low Ell prices recently recorded. In regard
ITO cotton seed oil a New York firm
| writes "As the market has now prac'
| tically reached figure within cent pei
gallon of the lowest price of last season
under conditions much more favorable
than prevailed at that time. we can not
but feel that values are pretty close 10
bottom. This opinion Is strengthened py
the fact that crude has been in fair de-
mand at ls cents in the Atlantic section,
the offerings at this figure having been
readily absorbed"
The few business failures reported from
small Texas towns this week were rather
surprising to local jobbers. though no
loss of consequence was suffered here as
a result. There is nothing in the business
situation 10 cause any fear Of many fall
ures this fall. In fact, there have been
so few recently that those recorded this
week have attracted unusual attention.
The State as a whole is in the midst or
season of much activity. and business
reverses are likely to be few and far be-
tween.
Rutbers advanced per cent on Octo.
Der but as the most retail dealers bought
their fall and winter stocks in anticipa-
ton OF the advance the retail price Is
not expected to undergo any material
char &c at present.
Wholesale druggists state that opium
continues to harden and prices advanced
fully cents last week Quinine also
shows decided strength and the announce
ment of further advances is expected al
most any hour. Cinchonida keeps moving
upward.
Local jobbers in the grocery trade have
received large shipments of California
prures. rasins and other dried fruits re-
Gently. II. d. Taylor & Sons unloaded
a carload of raisins this morning.
The retail trade OF Houston is begin
ming to improve, though cold snap is
needed to cause full awakening of bust
ness. People are not anxious to buy win
ter goods when the thermometer indi-
Gates summer heat.
The New York Biscuit company has
announced another advance of a cent
per pound in the price of its cakes and
crackers. Its list is now only &c below
the American company's.
New York advices report an advance OF
% cents per box in the price of lemons
nut local quotations are unchanged.
Inc spice market Is firm. with prices
tending upward, according TO reports from
New York and elsewhere.
There is a somewhat weaker tone in
hides of all kinds, but prices are un-
changed.
Olive oil is higher at all importing
points. 'e
