The Stock Market Yesterday Showed
 Strength and Weakness Alternately.

New York, Oct 15-To-d days market was a contest between professional traders as has been the case each day this week. The bears were again suc- cessful during the morning, but they encountered resistance at the lower lev- el and were forced to cover heavily be- fore the close of the day so that prices were brought back to within fractions al limits either way of last nights close
 Chicago Gas continued to absorb very large share of attention and it was in this stock that the bears suffered a keen reverse. They succeeded in fore ing down the price at one time 15s, but the inside support for the stock was very strong and the advance drove the bears to cover, the stock closing with net gain of 2%. Sugar also, which was raided down 1% during the morn- ing, showed considerable resistance, re- covering at one time to within less than a point of last nights close.
 Tobacco, which sold ex-dividend of per cent. declined at one time points.
 These three stocks were made the ob- JeClS ol tlle DedfS JlOSi uISellL dtldChS and they worked a sympathetic decline in the general list which extended from
 a fraction to 2 points, the specialties and the southwestern railroad stocks leading the decline
 The recovery in Chicago Gas was due to reports of working agreement to
 with the new competition threatened. Some favorable effect was exercised
 on prices by the postponement of the hearing before the supreme court in the Joint Traffic association until next January. Although the decision of the court in the case of the Trans -Missou- ri Freight association has been regard ed as foreshadowing an adverse de- cision in the Joint Traffic association case much has been made of tine pen- dency of the decision as an influence on the recent bear market and it's post ponement gave ssnse of relief.

DONATION DAY POINTERS.

The use of carriages and trucks for the working committee of the New Ha- ven orphan asylums Donation day costs the institution not a cent These vehicles are furnished free by their owners. Again, the general commit tees evening banquet takes not dime from the asylum's treasury. Each in- dividual member bears his proportion of the expense. This statement is made to contradict a wrong impression which got afioat last year There is absolute ly no ground for reluctance on the part of most generous giyers as they survey this unselfish mission and try to settle the size of their gifts. In the sphere of morals, the New Haven orphan asylum represents the preventive principle in successful operation. It is one of the most potent agencies in the machinery of modern social reconstruction.
 Donation day will come on Wednes- day, October 27. Please have your gift ready for the collector. Address all inquiries to President J. c. North, 70 Church street.

took about 25000 shares of various stocks on balance. This also was d favorable influence, A hardening ten dency in the exchange market was at tributed to the demand for remittance by to-morroW's mail steamer, but some disappointment was nevertheless felt by dealers in stocks that no engage ment of gold for import was made. This was partially offset py the senti- mental effect of the actual arrival and deposit in the assay office and the clearing house vault of further con signment of the gold shipped from Eng land last week.
 Money continued easy in tone and it Is believed that to-morrow's bank state ment will reflect a falling off in the demand on this center for funds Aside from the cases specified and those of Susquehanna and Western preferred, and Norfolk and Western preferred, which lost over a point, net changes, are very narrow. The decline in Nor folk and Western preferred was due to realizing on the declaration of 1 per cent. dividend on the preferred stock.
 Bonds moved in sympathy with stocks and showed weakness throughout. To- tai sales $1,650,00O.
 United States bonds were unchanged.
