New York. oct 26.-The stock market
showed a tendency TO fan into quietude
again to-day az though IN sympathy with
the dullness and uncertainty on foreign
exchanges. But there was a quiet absorp-
ton Of standard stocks all through the
list generally firm tone and marked
strength in a few cases, so that the aver
age OF prices Is quite materially lifted as
the result of the days trading. The re-
dictionary tendency IN the wheat market.
the falling off in the export demand for
both wheat and corn, and the weakness
IN the foreign grain markets were appar-
emily without effect The reason for the
apparently Illogical movements for tha
past few days obviously, Is that the mar
ket is entirely in the hand Of professional
traders without any participation by the
outside public.
The exciting causes OF the traders ac-
tivity of the last few days having subsid-
ed the market became comparatively duh
to-day, and the traders betook theme
selves 10 the highly speculative INDUS
trials.
Tobacco moved feverishly below yester-
days level and Sugar above on large
transactions without any definite reason
in either case,
The recovery on sterling exchange was
the effect OF the renewed stringency in
the London market, caused by the needs
of to-morrows Stock Exchange settle

Ter tone, rejecting the pressure for the
movement OF funds from that center ow-
