New York, Oct. 4-Considerable irregu-
iarity marked to-day's operations in the
stock market, but the net result was in
favor of the bulls, final prices showing
sharp gains in many cases. Elements of
strength included the St. Paul statement
for the fourth week of September, gold
engagements presaging further ease in the
monetary situation and more general COM
mission house buying. St. Paul was taken
III hand at the outset and lifted sharply
but Improvement in the general list was
arrested by irregularity in the specialties.
The market, generally speaking, did not
take on decisive tone until the late ses-
sion, when heavy buying orders We're exc
cuted ala around, which advanced prices
materially. The bears attempted to make
capital out of the closing of the Trades
mems National Bank but it was not an
| effective card as after a period of dun
worked up slowly until the movement as
| sumed large proportions in the late after
noon.
The futile efforts TO bring about a sub
stantial reaction in the railways combined
| with the ready absorption of all offer
ings, aroused a more hopeful feeling,
| which became intensified as additional en-
couraging traffic statements came to hand.
Some lines reported failing off in income,
| but this showing, il was felt would be
| soon counter balanced by the elimination
! of certain unfavorable influences current
at the present time. Tobacco pursued its
usual wild course. A concerted drive
! against Sugar late in the day depressed
the stock over points. Realizations oc-
CURED all around, but better feeling
tone prevailed at the Close the market

The bond market to-day developed con-
! siderable activity, and heavy purchases
were made of the current active issues.
| The general tone was strong and brisk
| inquiry prevailed for some mortgages,
| which usually do not figure to any extent
in the trading, notably st. Louis and San
| Francisco liens.
Total sales amounted to $2S5O,OO0 Con-
siderable activity developed In United
States IS to-day, again being made of Is
per cent. to 1854. Bid quotations of all
other issues were unchanged.
