The Stock Markets.

NEW YORK, Oct 24.-The stock market
showed tendency to fall into quetude to-
day again. as though in sympathy with the
dullness and uncertainty on foreign ex-
change. But there was a quiet absorption of
standard stocks all through the list a gener-
ally firm tone and marked strength in a few
cases, so that the average of price is quite
materially lifted as the result of the days
trading. The reactionary tendency in the
wheat market, falling off In the export de-
mand for both wheat and corn, and the
weakness III the foreign grain markets were
apparently without effort. The reason for the
apparently Illogical movement for the past
few days obviously is that the market is en-
tirely in the hands of professional traders
without-any participation by the outside pub
lie. When this class sell, 1t is simply with
view to buying at a lower level and their
maneuyers can only prove successful
the poor end Of the bargain where there is
no such following there is nothing to do but
retrace their course by selling or buying as
the case may be, the final orders being made
in accordance with the speculative factor
with which the special commitment has been
made. The existing cause of these traders
activity OF the lastfew days having subsidized,
the market became comparatively dull today
and the traders betook themselves to the
highly speculative industrials Tobacco
