STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 13.-The advance in
prices in today's stock market was
even more suggestive of improved tone
of speculative sentiment than that of
Yesterday. For one reason this was true
because quite large short interest was
eliminated from the market by yester-
days advance and the urgent demand
from that interest satisfied. Another
factor that might haye been utilized by
the bears was the depression in foreign
markets. so marked as to suggest some
knowledge of pending political compli-
cations in the deeper financial currents.
Not only was this indicated by the heavi-
ness of securities, fall of 5-16 in Brit
ish consols and of Is centimes in French
rentes, but by the excited condition of the
foreign wheat markets. The opening in
Wall street brought orders to sell 10000

account. The bears did in fact avail
themselves of this opening to make a
drive against Tobacco, Sugar and North
ern Pacific. but the confident manner in
which all offerings, both for London and
the short account, were absorbed took all
the assurance out of them and their only
other aggressive move during the remain
der of the day was drive against To
bacco.
The bears have counted much on the
damaging effects of the war in the sugar
refining industry. the conflict over the
Ming tobacco trade and the reported di-
yergence of ideas among the powers of
Northern Pacific over the question of n
dividend on the common stock to check
any advance in the market on account of
very favorable returns of railroad earn
ings and the generally prosperous outlook
for business The movement OF prices
in these securities gave warning Of com
promises and adjustments and took
away the mainstay of the bear move
ment. The process of covering of short
contracts, therefore, proceeded on a large
scale and large financial interests offered
aggressive support to the prices of prop
critics in which they were Interested A
