WALL STREET GOSSIP-New York STOCK
gossip, reported by H. Hoibert e Son, bank
ers and brokers, 81 Robert street, Nat onal
German-American Bank building, ST. Paul:
Post & Flagg wire us: Yesterdays buoyant
tone continued this morning until noon, the
buying being OF a good char acter and h aYy
particularly in Sugar. Tobac was more
quiet, but rallied over 2 points from last
nights closing at the extreme. In the after
noon Sugar took one OF its famous down
ward plunges, going over points In a very
short time, principally on account of sell
ing by Mr.. Keene. At first the orders were
given SO as to mask them, but toward t q
close ]. Taylor & Co., Hunter, Cooper &
Co., etc, or, in other words, his regular
brokers' were open sellers. We think OF q
reason for this attack is the fact that the
stock did not have to be Dor. owed today
there being no lean ma. ket unit tomorr
and this always makes it easy to sell sticks
down which command a premium without
the shorts having to show their hand by Dor
rowing the stock. Tobacco was also heavily
sold by firm often used by ms deTs The
railroad list was extremely firm, going eff
very little, II any, and it looks as IL 1T
would advance again soon as the PEE
sure is OF the industrials'
FOREIGN FINANCIAI1-NeW York Oct a.
The Evening Posts London financial cable
gram says: THE stock markets here opened
steady today, but gave way later on the re-
ported military conspiracy in France. They
rallied on re-assuring kilograms from Paris,
but finally closed fiat on pessmistic tele-
phone messages from the French capital,
which were of a character to confirm the
earlier reports. Americans shaped their own
course consistently. They were good all day,
although tho support was almost entirely
from New York. Norfolk &c Western pre-
1erred was especially good. Prices closed at
about the best. Spanish fours and al the
French specialties were fiat. Mines were
weak On the Paris situation. A feature today
was the sharp drop in bar gold to us 10d.
The buying for New York has ceased, but
Berlin has commenced purchasing and the
price closed at about IT'S 10Ad. The London
discount market is still unsettled, but with
a firm tendency, the Bank of England max
ing further efforts to control the market by
borrowing at 3% per cant. The Germans are
liQudating Investment stocks and mines, but
are retaining Americans fairly well.
