The Duilest Day For Many Weeks or
Wall Street,

Wall Street.
New York. Oct. 5.-Not for many weeks
has Wall street seen so dull a day as
this 1t was offered as an explanation
that the eve of the Jewish Day of Atone
nent called many brokers and operators
from the street But there was apart
from this II manifest disposition to re-
frhin iiUrn trading and to leave the mar
ket to lie fallow for time. Yesterdays
sharp reaction apparently admonishcd
the bulls that conditions are not yet ready
for resumption Of the advance. The
favorable factors which developed dur
Ing the day. although they affected for
n time the individual stocks to which they
applied. were ineffective in causing Il
general advance and prices of most
stocks closed lower tonight. All Of tho
traffic statements at hand showed notable
increases in earnings. but not all Of the
stocks Of the roads affected derived any
benefit. The principal activity ceniered
In the specialties. and The trading In them
was largely based on vague rumors that
had nothing to do with the general situa-
ton. Closing bids:
