New York. Oct. 2s.-The stock market
to-day took on some Of the characteristics
OF a bull campaign In full form. Business
was large and exceedingly well distrib-
uted. many OF the usually active stocks
being brought forward into the market
while the market was much less domi-
mated by the specialties. which. however,
continued very active. principally Sugar
and Tobacco. The former was less violent
in its fluctuations than on yesterday, and
although It advanced several times. it
met more stock than 1t could carry. 1t
ended he day unchanged. Tobacco. on
the other hand. after a fractional decline.
eurged strongly upwards, the extreme rise
being nearly five points.
The rise was coupled with rumors of the
fiotation of the new plug tobacco COM
pany and in the taking in of many large
competitors In that field. Another con-
%rpicuous movement was that in the iron
and steel stocks. which were led by deal
ings In the securities of the new Federal
Steel company when issued. These stocks
were at one time 1hmlZ points above last
night. The certificates of the Minnesota
Iron company, with the cash payment
added. living the right of entry into the
Federal company, sold at 131. an advance
OF four points. and the Illinois Steel GER
t~ificates closed at IS bid. a gain of two
points Securities of other iron and steel
companies showed strength to a less de-
gree.
Speculation in the railroad stocks was
active and varied. the grangers Leading in
point of activity. There was a marked de-
traction from the activity in the latter
part of the day and the room traders took
profits. reducing the days net gains be-
low the figure of the extreme advances.
There was very notable activity and
strength in the bond market and evident
pressure of large sums of money seek
ing investment. Bonds of Western and
Southwestern roads. especially reorganiza-
