The stock Market.

New York, Oct 1S.--Prices of stocks drifted sluggishly and to all appear ance aimlessly all through the days session. The almost stagnant condi- tion of the market was scarcely re- lieved by a single feature. Even the trust" stocks fell into neglect after long period of cratic fluctuations To- bacco was raided down at the opening on explicit announcements that the much-talked of plug tobacco combina- ton had once more fallen through. Later in the day there was injected in the dullest portion of the days trading two successive transactions of 12,500 shares and 6,000 shares, respectively, of Tobacco preferred at 115 seller 30" This represented a transaction of over $2, 900, 900 and was supposed to show the disposal of the company's treasury stock, application for the listing of which was made yesterday. The com mon stock was rather feverish for a time after this sale, but settled down into steadiness and neglect.
 There was an upturn in Sugar also during the day, which was explained by the news that certain grades of soft su- gars had been advanced in price. Real izing subsequently wiped out practi- cally all of the advance. The railroad list held generally firm through the early part of the day, but subsequently, eased off in sympathy with Sugar and the Northern Pacifics.
 The daily attack on the coaers lacked vim and the decline reached only point in New Jersey Central. The statement of traffic of St Paul for the second week in October, showing an in- crease over last years large earnings of nearly $140,000 is undoubtedly pret- ty fair indication of what is occurring on all the grain carrying roads. All reports agree that it is difficult to se- demand for not only the eastward bound grain movement, but the west ward bound merchandise movement. The same apathy existed to-day on all the securities markets of the world The process of accommodating exchange here is going on from day to day, and the banks continue to gain cash from the sub-treasury.
 The final allotment of government threes from Washington makes it prob- able that government deposits in na- tional banks will soon approach the 00,000,000 mark, after which the rum ming deficit in the revenues is expected to steadily diminish this account.
