NEW YORK, October 24.-The stock
market was distinctly reactionary to-
day in spite of some strong spots
Proft-taking was on very large scale.
Sales on this account were quite well
absorbed and created no sign of demon
aliZatien in prices. When the fact of
profit-taking became obvious some of
the room traders turned bears and sold
the market moderately. The bear fac
ton was not aggressive, however, and
made no great inroads upon values.
Neither were the bulls inclined to re-
sumo their campaign for the advance
after having taken their profits and
the market was inclined to drag during
the latter part of the day. Some at
tempt was made to infuse strength into
the market in the last hour by bidding
up Union Pacific and B. & o. preferred.
This indeed induced some slight cover
ing by shorts, but so far as a general
resumption of the advance was con-
cerned the attempt was abortive.
Prices were very unsteady at the close
and in many cases were pursuing a
downward course The active realizing
II the first hour was much helped by
notable accession of outside demand
which was attracted by yesterdays
sharp rise following week of stub
born resistance to all attempts at driv
ing prices downward This demand
and continued manipulation by a sec
ton of the bull party served to wipe
out pretty generally the opening de-
cline and bring the market back to
about last nights level. Having reach
ed that point, the downward course be-
gan, and with the exception of some
irregular fluctuations the market con-
tinued heavy below last nights level
for the rest of the day. Special points
of weakness in the early dealings were
Sugar, American Tobacco, Mailing pre-
ferred Anaconda, Pullman and Brook
Ign Transit Aggressive strength was
shown all day by United States Leather,
which was taken in enormous lots and
rose at one time to 22%. The closing
was a point below par New York Cen
trail after small fractional advance,
met very heavy offerings on the an
nouncement of an additional stock is
sue Of 100000 dollars. The stock
moved somewhat irregularly during the
day within a range Of a point below last
nights level. The London market re-
1lscted some depression upon this mar
ket and the undertone there was dis
t.nctly weak on the uneasiness regard
ing the position of the British troops in
Natal The suggestion of the chancel-
Tor of the eXchequer that tax on South
African gold mines might be looked to
to help defray the expense of the war,
was apparently not relished by the
spectators in the mine market. Lon
don's sales in this market were up
wards of $4,000 shares. The general
weakness of copper mine shares had
Hepressing influence on speculation. The
Aeakness of Anaconda on the exchange
Was supplemented by a break in Anal
gSmated Copper in the outside market
and by weakness in Boston. The hard
enihg tendency Of money was dis
couAaging factor for the bulls. Most of
the days call TO answer made above 6
per cent. and the rate rose to per
cent. tate in the day Bankers gener-
ally ASKED per cent. for time loans and
were dssinclined to put out their funds
for the longer periods. Rather less
money Was shipped to the interior to-
day, but the outgo while diminished
still continues. The sub-treasury is also
absorbing funds.
Realizing was in evidence in some
portions Of the bond market, making
the price changes mixed. Total sales,
par value, s2.450OO0.
