THE MARKETS.
Wall Streetitey

New York, Oct. 1S.-For the first time in
several weeks prices of stocks were at no
time during the day below the level Of
fore. There were occasional slight reac-
tons today with no better apparent cause
than sympathy with Stgar, which were
itself marked by strong advance and
was turned backwards at times only
by profit-taking. Speculation halted
during the morning in expectation
of decision by the Supreme court
at Washington in the Nebraska max
imum freight rate case. Although
this decision is expected to be in favor
of the railroad and was looked to to give
an upward impetus to prices, the an
nouncement that the handing down of the
decision had been postponed was followed
by decided increase in the activity of
the trading, attended by a rise in prices.
the strength of the Granger stocks and
the awakened interest and Improvement
I'm the NanderbitS were very notable.
The vigorous upward movement of this
powerfully influential group caused a
striking advance throughout the list. A
feature of the market was the neglect of
the lndustria!s, except Sugar, as COM
pared with the recent trading, and even
Sugar showed falling off in activity as
the day progressed, and the trading in the
railroad stocks developed greater anima-
ton.
