THE STOCK MARKET.
Ii LIS Generally Dull and an Uncer-
tain Tone Prevails.


New York, Oct. "a by no means gem
eral demand for stocks caused advances
in the days market in those stocks in
which II appeared. Apart from these
! cases the market was dull and II had an
uncertain tone. The general market was
comparatively free from disturbance from
the industrial division, and the days
situation was without important occur
rences OF any kind. At the opening the
market reflected in slightly lower prices
the weakness of the London market
which was depressed by apprehensions
that the political tension In various quar-
tiers might become acute In the local
market the approaching elections and the
possibility of serious friction at the peace
convention at Paris were again effective
In checking active trading
feature which attracted some notice
was the weakness of Northern Pacific
common 1t was sold freely and the
stocks decline was sufficient to lead to
queries as to the cause of the selling
No serious attention was paid to the
rumors of a row between prominent
interests in the management, but there
seems good reason 10 believe that there
"4S pronounced OLlSItUCSS OF opinion on
various points entertained by the controll-
ing spirits in the property.
The strongest features of the market
were Peoples Gas, Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit and Metropolitan Street Railway
Purchases of the last named were stimu-
lated by the expectations that announce
ment would soon be made that the COM
pany had eontrived means to utilize
profitably in other fields than the opera
tion of street cars its surplus product
of electricity; in short, that with the
completion of the work of electrically
equipping the Broadway and other lines,
IL will become an active competitor with
other puFVeyors of electric power for
one use or another. The Industrial stocks
were comparatively steady. American
Tobacco broke violently at the opening,
but the trading there soon became quiet
Sugar Refining also fiuctuated within
comparatively narrow limits. The gran
ger shares were dull and fairly steady
The particular activity of Rock Island
was, doubtless, in sympathy with the
special strength of Peoples Gas and
Brooklyn Rapid Transit, as these proper
ties are more or less Jointly controlled.
Trading at the close was in light volume
and the tone of the market was rather
heavy.

was vigorously denied late in the day
