Rumors of Friction in Northern I'n-
citic Management Causes Doubt.
New York. Oct 7.-Unquestionabiy the
chief influence in the unsettlement Of the
mornings stock market was the rumored
friction in the management Of the North
arn Pacific Il seems most improbable
that the controlling powers in this prop
artv will be unable TO come to an agree

SeaDoard Strength and Foreign Pur

Chicago, Oct. To-day the strength at

accountable for the advance of l cent in

good buying by commission houses and
