The stock Exchange.

NEW YORK. Oct. Is-Prices Of stocks
drIfted slugsiShiy and 10 al appearances
aimlessly all through today's session. The
almost stagnant condition Of The market
was scarcely relieved by a single feature.
Iopacco was forced down a. the opening
on explicit announcements that ths much
tAiked-of plug tobacco combination had
once more fallen through. There was in
Jected into the dullest portion OF the days
tradiag two successive transactions or
lZS0 shares and 5.ao shares. respectively.
Of Tobacco preferred AZ lis. seller 3D.
RMS represented a transaction OF over
S2be.0o and was supposed TO show the
disposal OF the companys treasury stock.
Application Tor the Listing of which was
made yesterday. Common stock was rath-
er fsverish. There was an upturn in Sugar
also during the day. which was explained
by the news that certain grades Of soft
sugar had been advanced in price. Real
lLlns subsequently wiped out practically
All the advance. The railroad list held
generally firm throughout the early part
OF the day. bat subsequently eased of in
sympathy with Sugar and the Northern
Pacifics.
The daily attack on the Coalers lacked
vim. and the decline only reached a point
in New Jersey Central. The traffic state
ment OF the St. Paul for the second week
III October. showing an increase over last
year earnings OF nearly $4,000, is IN
douotedly pretty far Indication OF what
Is going on in the grain-carrying roads.
Apathy extended today in all the security
markets of the world. the pause in Lon
don being attributed 10 waiting for mora
settled political conditions, and the COM
pieton OF liquidation in Berlin. The pro-
cess OF accum9latins exchange here is go
Ing on from day 10 day, and the banks
continue TO gam cash from the sub-trea.s-
ufy. The final allotment OF SIS from Wash.
inston makes 1t probable that government
deposits IN national banks will soon ap-l
preach the si0o 0t0.o0G mark. after which
the deficit in tho revenues Is expected 10
steadily diminish their account.
Bonds were dull but firmly held today.
