STOCK MARKET.
Large Proportion of Business
Was in Tobacco.
Federal steel Securities Were Also Largely
Dealt In.

New York, Oct S1.--Some obvious eff
fort was required to sustain prices to-
day above the level of Saturday, and
the midday rise was not maintained to
the close, prices in some cases declining
below Saturdays level. An inspection
of the list will reveal that outside of a
very few cases net changes are unim-
portant. Some observers believe that
such strength as the market has is due
to the support of very powerful ag-
gregations of capital which are inter-
ested in seeing higher prices for some
new securities,
Quite a large proportion of the total
business today was in Tobacco the
price of which was rushed up almost
seven points to 14S 3-S. Federal steel
securities were largely dealt in, the
preferred stocks rising nearly two
points, to rs ga.
The steel stocks are dealt in when
issued" which is the stock exchange
phrase for buying what has not yet
come into existence. There are to be
5000, 100000 of the Federal Steel stocks.
There are to be 100000 of securities
of the new continental plug tobacco an
mex of the American Tobacco Company.
AS these securities are in process of
ing values in the general market for
their benefit is undeniable.
The task of doing this today was not
an easy one, and in the late dealings
with selling of Northern Pacific on a
large scale and talk of fresh complica-
tions in connection with that roads re-
lations with other roads, the burden
apparently became too heavy and pref
ty much all the earlier gains were
vii Lra1
were conspicuous exceptions. There
were other points of strength in the
market during the day, particularly
among western and southern railroads
st. Pauls September statement showed
an increase in earnings of $3.50, 331 in
spite of large additional outlay for OPP
Grating expenses and served to counter
act the effect of Burlington's poor
showing published Saturday. There
were strong statements also from DEN
yer and Rio Grande and Chesapeake
and Ohio, while in the Erie statement
the decline in gross earnings was offset
by economies in the operating depart
ment, leaving an increase in the net
earnings of nearly $4,000. But there
was no general public interest in the
market and some attention was paid to
the large naval and military prepara-
tons making in Great Britain. The
weakness of the wheat market early
in the day on the big Russian Ship
ments was also an influence in the
market The small demand for money
is not regarded as a favorable indica4
ton now that there are abundant
funds in the market. There was con-
tinued activity in the bond market.
The Union Pacific tours sold most of
the day at par.
Total sales, S3090000.
Government bonds were unchanged.

The socialist element was much in
evidence, and it was this group of men
who attempted to have the word in

inserted in the name of the proposed

would be strong enough to win their
point, but the leaders finally triunphed
and the meeting decided TO organize as
a club under the mans .. the swedish

The purpose of the club, as outlined
at last evenings meeting, was to in
duce naturalization and aid Swedish
residents in becoming voters large

to be republicans by persuasion, but as

The Holy Cross team look forward to
q victory over Tufts this afternoon, de-
spite the fact that several subs" VIII
be played Powers, the sturdy little
fuilback, will be obliged to abstain
from the game today, on account of
injuries received in the Tech game Sat

in the inflrmaly Baldwin and Murphy
win be stationed behind the line; other
wise the mes viii line up as usual
Though Tufts has a pretty good eleven,
Holy Cross supporters look upon the
contest this afternoon as q mere prac-
tice game for Saturday against Boston
College. Some doubt is felt as to the
outcome when their old opponents from
the Hub" are on hand; but if wish
ing and determination to win, on the
part of the students and team, will eff
feet aught, then victory will surely re-
suit. Last season these teams met
twice and each won g. game. Rivalry
between the two colleges has always
been most intense, and the good work
done by "B. c." against Brown has
caused The Holy Cross adherents to do
q little worrying.
The reverend rector granted a half
holiday yesterday afternoon to the Holy
Cross students that they might be
present at the celebration in honor Of
the Worcester soldiers. The Holy Cross
men We're given position at the cor
ner of Front and Main streets, and

This incident caused a rips

Several we'll known citizens

ON ACCOUNT OF THE

retary Alger to day that Jesse
I Gates. of the Second United
States Artillery, who had lost
part OF his upper lip i'll the West
India campaign, has been awaT>
ded the first pension on account
of the Spanish war. The Presi>
dent and the Secretary of War
each took an interest in this
case. Gates called on them in
person soon after the close OF
the campaign aud convinced
them of the merits of his claim.
Gates will receive $I7 per month
and, this being inadequate, a
private pension bill increasing
the pension probably will be III
troduced in Congress. Claims
or account Of the Spanish war

Russell May R. sign.

Special from Raleigh says !:
There are persons who ext re@s
a belief that Governor Russell
will soon resign. He is an1uest~
ionably tired of the executi$ e
office. The Governor has SO few
friends in the Republican party
that he gets little Or no sympathy
in that quarter. Republicans
high in position allege that to
him is really due the overthrow
Of their party. The Governor
left here yesterday for the noun
tains. He will be out Of town
several days. His private secre-
tary says he needs rest.
