sition of the bears TO contest the adj
vance. This was notably true in the
group of Industrial stocks which was
made the target for attack yesterday.
Thus, it will be seen that the Glucose
stocks, the members of the Iron and
Steel group, Peoples Gas and the local
traction stocks, which have of late been
quite persistently pressed by the bear
faction. all show rather striking gains.
Another feature of the market was the
fact that the stocks which We're picked
out to be manipulated for rise did not
hold their gains well, though the adj
vance seemed to effect the desired pur-
pose of inducing sympathetic strength

SIGNALS to signal bull movement.
Northwestern, Omaha, New York Cen
trail, and the minor Vanderbilts all came
into the movement and the Union Pacific
stocks trailed ON as usual. The Coalers
were also employed as a lever. In the
railroad list at large the strength was
not widely diffused. although the gen
eral tone was quite firm. The Changers
and a few of the Southwesterns added
TO those already specified would about
complete the list. The vigorous tone dis
played by Sugar and Brooklyn Transit
had large influence owing to the vol
ume of the transactions in them. 1t
was noticeable that stocks which have
been pushed upward in opposition to the
recent bear campaign were inclined to
halt today. The gains for Louisville,
Southern Pacific and the Baltimore and
Ohio stocks are small and Pullman and
Great Northern, preferred show sharp
losses on the day. There was no special
developments in the days news to ac-
count for the markets strength.
There was no renewed stringency i'll

ishment of New York's diminished cash
supplies New York exchange at i'm
terror points showed a continued down
ward tendency. Foreign exchange in
New York advanced sharply, causing
some rnewal of talk of gold exports.
The simultaneous advance Of sterling
exchange here, in Paris and in Berlin,
indicated the drawing in by London of
outstanding resources in preparation for
war expenditures. The meagre supply
of cotton bills, very unusual at this
of sterling exchange. The scarcity of
ship room owing to British Govern

is cited as the cause.

New York, Oct. 1S.-The market has
not shown any material change today,
either in the character of the general
demand or tone. All staple cottons are
distinctly against buyers. Further adj

COTTON.
New York. Oct. 1S.-The man phases
of the days cotton market were mainly
bullish To begin with, speculation was
on a much broader scale than in several
weeks with the investment public sub
stantially represented The cables re-
fected strong and advancing markets
for futures, spot and future goods
throughout Europe; the statistical sltua-
ton in the country was a supporting
feature; the demand for cotton reached.
an almost unprecedented volume at adj
points and the crop movement fell short
of official estimates. The array of bull
ish influences disheartened the majority
of the bear traders and led to lively
run to cover At the same time the in
vestors were prompted to take fresh
hold, and the Southerners to hedge
against short sales in spot cotton fu-
lures, January and later delivery.
Except for an occasional setback of a
point or two under profit taking, the
course of prices from start to finish was
steadily upward. On the opening an
advance of to points was scored.
BY midday this improvement had been
increased to 8 to 10 and later in the
day the highest point was reached when
prices showed an advance of 10 points.
The close was steady at a net rise of
16 to 10 points.
