New York, Oct. 2S.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
''Irregularity in prices and trade move
ments have been rather more marked
this week than for some time past but,
measured by all the usual standards of
business development the situation is one
of exceptional activity and even strength
The active foreign demand at advancing
prices for American cereals and their
products appeared to have eliminated
early in the week in a virtual war-scare
market. in which the highest prices
reached since early in August were re-
corded. The reaction shown, however
has been a small one, testifying to nerv-

and the continuance of the talk of rather

those OF last year. A great burst of ac-
tivity in nearly all lines has followed
the freeing of the lower Mississippi VAL
ley section from the numerous auaran-
tlnes, and country buying is reported ac-
tive, being partially stimulated by colde,
weather in that section. From the Pa
cifc Coast, particularly Puget Sound and
Columbia River points, the advices are of
very active trade, heavy grain receipts
being largely absorbed by mills working

The New American Tobacco Shares

Are Notably Active.
New York, Oct. 2s.-without any fur
ther Incentives than are due to the ma
aerial and greater confidence in respect
to the local and foreign political situa-
Hons, there was a further enhancement
of values In the market for securities to-
day Trading was not remarkably ac-
tive but interest was quite generally dis
fributed, and some increase in outside in
terest was reported. Whether the foreign
political situation is in critical condi-
lion or otherwise. there were no extensive
operations by the arbitrage firms or by
foreign banking houses in this market. A
feature of interest and Importance in the
dealings was the continued strength in
khe bond division of the market. The
dealings there were upon an extensive
scale. and a new high-price record was
made by the Government threes. Other
notably strong features OF the bond mar
ket were the Union Pacific, Denver and
Gould issues. Wabash debentures. and
xhe New York CentraI-Lake Shore 31-2s.
In the stock market the active features
were the granger and Pacific shares,
louisville and Nashville, and Manhattan
Railway
With the exception of the latter. the
stocks were all strong. Among the So
called specialties there were sharp ad-
vances in Consolidated Gas and Metro
politan Street Railway. Pullman Palace

In the industrial shares, all were ac-
Rive and generally strong. Sugar Re

"
New York, Oct. 2s-Dun's weekly re-
view of trade tomorrow will say:
Business has been more affected by
foreign affairs than many realize Lon
donS apprehension of war first caused
advances in wheat and fears of none
tary pressure here Then came confidence
in London, with a flight of French money
across the channel, and stock markets
here advanced while wheat fell

count, and the selling of American securi-
ties one day and buying the next. There
has been no domestic change of much
Importance. and the rise in prices of
Western railroad stocks indicate that the
Supreme Court decision against the Trunk
Line Association is considered helpful 70
railroads. September reports, including 60
per cent of the total mileage of railroads,
show increase of 3.S per cent over last
year and 2.S over 1892. The granger
stocks rose during the week about 81
per share and Pacific roads slightly
while more mystery lifted Tobacco prices
S1S.12, and Sugar s1.37 per share, which
indicates that wars are especially bene-
fetal to trust stocks
Wheat rose Sc from Friday to Mon
day and then fell 41-2c to Friday, but
such changes do not represent actual
conditions and with Western receipts for
the week. 9,55S, POS bushels, against
6,9964S7 last year. nobody can pretend that
holding of stocks by Western farmers is
an important factor.
Cotton rose to 1-2c last week but has
fallen to 5 3-Sc in spite of heavy frosts in
part of the growing region. This ex-
presses strongly the belief that no curtail-
ment of yield is possible that will effect
the surplus more than the closing of
Eastern mills one month in three and the
reduction of consumption abroad.
THE frosts seem not TO have damaged
the crop appreciably, but a yield much
smaller than has been expected will ex-
ceed with old stocks the quantity the

The market was strong yesterday and

actual good conditions. If, on the other
hand, as is claimed with some show of
reason, the market is being bulled by the
Republican politicians to help their cause,
1t would be too bad to see the public pull
ed into the deal only to be dumped after
the elections 1t Is very certain that poll
tics is playing a large part in the mar
ket. 1t would hardly be we'll to buy at
this time, except with the intention to get
out with small profits taken quickly. And
even this may not be accomplished, for
the street Is far from unanimous in its
opinion that there will be further ad-
vance.

and they were made a feature of the
days business. The Flower people bought
largely. but also 1t was said that the
Morgan interests were IN the market
Such buying necessarily had a good effect
and before the day was over there had
been an advance of nearly two points on
the common stock and as much on the
preferred. There can be no doubt as to
the excellent prospects of the company.
Tobacco was the leader of speculation
"A large amount of business was done in
the stock and there was an advance in
the price from 12s1-2 to 1874 at the close.
Talk about the trust and its affairs was
of all compilations, but the general inn
preston was that the advance would con-
tinue for a little further. The advance is
purely manipulated one, and as far
the public is concerned has nothing
whatever to do with the condition of the
company or the prospects of its deals 60
ing through. One of Ithe news bureaus
put this out yesterday: 1.-The bank peo-
pie here who were custodians for the
Drummond stock while 1t was in escrow
pending the closing of the deal with the
American, who are thoroughly informed
on Tobacco affairs, say that the Conti-
mental Tobacco deal Is now sure to be
carried through. The underwriting is all
but completed in New York, and the or
ganization is to be effected within a few
days. The Incorporation VIII be under the
laws of the State of New Jersey. The
new corporation will include the Drum
Tnond Company, and practically all the
Others that were counted upon up to the
time 1t was rumored that the deal had
fallen through, fortnight ago. The au-
thority for this is undoubted. The Drum
nond plant will be the principal one in
the new Continental. The others are
nri1l rd
works In addition to these will be the
Brown Brothers plant. 1t is understood
that the capitalization of the company
will be s2O.0o0.Oo0."
