THE STOCK MARKET.
London Stability Indicates Little
Cause for Alarm.

New York. Oct g.-Further advances
were roted in today's dealings in the
stock market The railway list led In the
upward movement, though there were
also heavy dealings in the industrial
shares. As has been the case throughout
the week, speculative attention seemed
principally concerned with the general
diplomatic situation. and particularly
with tn status of the peace negotiations
being conducted by the Spanish-American
Commission at Paris. The stability of the
London stock market indicated little
cause for alarm in regard TO the Eu-
ropean political situation. The American
division of that market was reported
strong. but apart from the ephemeral ef-
feet upon traders. sentiment exercised.by
higher London prices. London was a
small factor in the local dealings.
The Granger shares were the leaders of
the railway list in respect of strength
and activity, with Rock Island the con-
spicuous feature of the group Hopeful

September TO be rendered ny these COM
panies doubtless accounted for their par
ticular strength. The Union Pacific re-
port for the month showed slight de-
converted into an increase in net earn

penses.
Aside from the Granger shares. the
largest dealings in the railway list were
in the Pacific stocks. Louisville and Nash

was also generally strong and active, a
wholesome feature of the dealings Yes
terday's elimination OF the short Interest
in Sugar Refining was followed today by
a sharp decline in the stock This was
superficiaily ascribed to statements that
another independent refinery would begin

gossip upon the stock when It advanced
nearly three points.
American Tobacco. which was heavily
dealt In. was again erratic. Spectators
in the stock are doubtless confused by
the multiplication of deals constantly re-
ported and denied and by the impOssi-

in regard to them. The fluctuations in
these stocks had little effect upon the
railway list. which closed strong and

River Castle Property.

Tarrytown. n. Y, Oct. 27.-The assess

property for se5s, 900 in 1894. 1t is assessed
this year for s6s7 900. Mr.. Rockefeller ad-.
mitted that property had grown more val
liable. but he was willing to part with
what he owned for 65 per cent of what
1t cost him, and would take part pay
ment on same. He did not say he intend
ed to leave town, but he would sell If
anyone would come tomorrow to buy it.

tion. On mar. points Rockefeller was

The tone of the market was better yes
terday than for several days before.
There was fair activity and some COM
mission buying, and prices in many stccks
advanced. The strength of the market,
too. seemed to be due more to the small
amount of stock offered than to efforts to
put up prices. This is a most hopefuI
sign, as manipulation has been almost the,
sole cause of movement in stocks for
many days past. OF course, 1t cannot be
truthfully said that there was no manipu-
lation. Several of the active issues were
engineered by Flower and others The
best prices of the day were not retained
till the close, but on the whole the day
was most satisfactory to those who are
wishing for better times. There is no par
ticular conclusion to be drawn from this,
however, and it would certainly not be
safe to predict higher prices and moro
business Immediately. The market has
fiuctuated fractionally for the last few
weeks, just far enough to squeeze out
traders, and 1t is not in the least i'm
probable that today will see turn in the
downward direction.

There was talk yesterday morning of
a dividend on Louisville and Nashville
in January in connection with the III
creasing earnings and the abatement of
the yellow fever scare. The rumor was
also due partly. at least, to the state
ment of the chairman of the board that
surplus earnings can hereafter be applied
to dividends. There was considerable
skepticism over the suggestion of divi-
dend. however, as there has been here
tofore when 1t was made. The condition
of the property is probably improving,
and it seems fair to suppose that the
present price of the stock will be main
tanned at least. 1t is not to be forgotten,
however that another advance in wages
is to be made in January. One of the
other rumors in connection with Louis
Vile and Nashville yesterday was that
there is pool forming to raise the price
of the stock.
