Stock Market Was Firtner and Stronger
 yest"rlIav Than for Several eeks.
 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 those prevailing at the close the night before. There were occasion al slight reactions to-day with no better apparent cause than sympathy with Ssyar, which was itself markedly strong and was turned backwards at times only by profit taking.
 Speculation halted during the morn ing in expectation of a decision by the supreme court at Washington in the Nebraska maximum freight rate case. Although this decision is expected to be in favor of the railroad and was looked to give an upward impetus to prices, the announcement that the handing down of the decision had been postpon- ed was followed by a decided increase in the activity Of trading, an activity

attending the rise of prices instead of the decline for the first time in many weeks.
 The strength of the granger stocks and the awakened interest and i'm provement in the Vanderbilts were very noticeable. The vigorous upward movement of this powerfully influential group caused striking advance throughout the list, net gains in nearly all the active stocks equalling at least a point and in several specia cases equalling or exceeding two points.
 A feature of the market quite as striking as the strength of the railroad stocks was the neglect of the indus trials, except Sugar, as compared with the recent trading and even Sugar showed a falling off in activity as the day progressed and the trading in the railroad stocks developed greater ami mation.
 Chicago Gas, which of late has en- tirely overshadowed the rest of the market to-day fell into innocuous des- uetude and was no longer available as an instrument for the bears to demor- alize prices in the general list Its to- tai range of prices was only small fraction and the small volume of the transactions in it looked almost like neglect. While Sugar was quite active and moved somewhat irregularly With in a range of nearly points, 1t show ed sufficient strength to aid the rest of the list by sympathy and closed at & net gain of $ per cent.

Call loans were quite freely made at rates below 2h per cent. down to per cent Out side banks also continued bidders ill this market for mercantile paper and are thus realizing considerable sums or money to the New York banks which are available for loans Tn other depart ments.
 The statements of railroad earnings for the second week in October, which were received all show continued mark ed increase over the corresponding per iod last year, the soft coal roads show ing an especially noticeable recovery from their recent heavy depression. The September statement of the Pitts IT advances in the stocks of that company, the preferred stock rising 2la points Pullman advanced and Susquehan- na and Western preferred 2A.
 While the character of the trading to-day did not go outside of the pro- fessonal limits, which have marked il for several weeks, the undertone oi strengthoft the market showed the prac- tical cessation of the manipulation by the reactionists. Sugar was the only stock on the list to show transactions exceeding 10000 shares and the tota sales of all stocks fell considerably be- low 250,0O0 shares.
 The bond market was not very ac tive, but prices were generally firm Total sales $1,5010o0.
