STOCK MARKET
DULL BUT FIRM
Spectators Express Hopes of
Easier Conditions.
APPRECIABLE RELAXATION
Generally Prosperous Condition of Bus

APPRECIABLE RELAXATION

New York, October 4-The stock market
was dull but firmer than yesterday Many
railroads show net gains of nearly point
and few exceed that figure A number of
the active industrials gained to points
today, and Pullman closed points higher
on the day. There was an appreciable re-
taxation in the stringency of call money
and the speculative contingent expressed
hopes of easier conditions at an early Pc
riod. This, combined with excellent traffic
returns from railroads and the generally
prosperous conditions of business added to
the unwilingness of holders to part with
securities. Offerings were on a very light
scale all day in spite of the continued high
rate for money. Borrowers satisfied their
needs early in the day and the rate fell
to per cent. towards the close of the mar
ket. This invited a rather active buying
movement in the late deals and in some
cases there was an urgent demand from
shorts, causing some sudden jumps In
prices. The closing generally was firm,
though slightly below the best. Sterling
exchange at Paris and Berlin made an ad-
ditional advance today to near the gold ex-
port point. In New York rates for sterling
were steady. Money continues to move
from New York to the interior in quite
large amounts, but the outgo to the sub
treasury is somewhat diminished. The
October taxes in New York, which have
been paid with unusual promptitude, are
finding their way back into the banks and
plan is reported to redeem at any advance
at maturity about $l2000,000 of New York
bonds issued in anticipation of taxes. The
prospect of some relief thus afforded, the
continued stiffness of the money rate was
not much regarded in the stock market
1t is not expected, however, that money
will work to an easier basis for some time
to come.
The bond market was dull but firm in
sympathy with stocks. Total sales, par
value, $685. 900. Government bonds I'M

has been quite an advance in ocean freight
rates and it is having an adverse effect on
new export business. The market opened
off and has ruled weak all day, the incent-
ives to which were lower cables, higher
consols and an advance in ocean freights
which, however, may not last long in case
the Transvaal difficulty Is settled. Com
mission houses and C. H. Smith were SELL
ers here while there was some reselling at
the seaboard. St. Louis reports good
cash demand from outside millers for
sample wheat Minneapolis says: Good
demand for spot wheat, al about December

afternoon and no doubt further drive will
be made at the market.
Corn has ruled weak and the selling was
of a good character. Railway officials re-
port that western farmers are inclined very
stongly to hold on to their corn which
may later on be reflected in much lighter
movement Sentiment in the trade here is
more bearish than otherwise.
Oats-There is moderate shipping demand
but trade has been light and this cereal
declined slightly in sympathy with wheat
and corn.
Provisions have ruled extremely dull.
Hams were higher in Liverpool. while hogs
were lower at the yards. We feel friendly
to January product on all recessions.

After a Poor Start BulIiSh Senti-
nent Predominated.
SPECULATION WAS SMALL
Upward Movement Which Followed At
tempt to Depress Prices Was Ac-
tolerated by News That South
ern Markets Were Higher
SPECULATION WAS SMALL

New York, October 4.-After a poor start
the market for cotton futures developed
pronounced strength and closed with bull
ish sentiment predominatlng. The volume
of speculation was smaller. though trad
ing was by no means tame. When the
market opened smaller holders were dis
an early gain of 2 points. Local bears sold
quite freely on this news during the first
hour, causing drop of 6Q9 points, 4Q6 of
which were recorded on the call.
Later the same traders, upon finding that
their efforts to depress prices were not sue
cessful, turned buyers. The upward move
ment which followed was accelerated by
news that the spot market south were ex-
cited and higher and predictions of smaller
receipts. Wall street, New Orleans, Eu-
rope and shorts later became substantial
buyers, and before a breathing spell was
taken the early loss had been entirely wiped
out and net rise of SOS points establish
ed Reports of frost in the northwest and
OF disposition among planters to refuse
the bids of factors for such parts of the
crop as was already gathered increased
publish sentiment. The crop movement fell
considerably below general expectations,
and receipts at the ports for the week thus
far are now fully 1900 bales behind the
movement for a like time last year. The
market closed steady at a net gain of 2Q4
points.

Talbot g Palmer's stock letter

BY Private Wire from the New York Sun
New York October A much higher
range of prices was established at the
opening today compared with last nights
close. chiefly because of the recoveries
shown in the London market and further
on account of the apparently common eX-
nectations that we would realize relaxa-
tion in the money market. The material
Improvement that was shown in the Lon
don market seemed to be based wholly ON
the less threatening aspect of affairs In
South Africa but the days advices in re-
gard to the situation were by no means
conclusive and indicated little more than
mat both parties to the quarrel were max
ing time Still the lessened anxiety in this
regard was attended by recovery in con-
soils and a more extensive advance In
American stocks. Apart from the dealing
in foreign account. the transactions were
professional to a degree. The market did

New York. October 4.--The market again
opened lower to points at the start ow-
ing to disappointing cables, which were off
2 points around the opening Bears took
advantage of the withdrawal of buyers by
offering on a pretty liberal scale; in fact,
were disposed to be aggressive at times:
weak holders, as usual, were unable TO
stand the early market. Liverpool also
sold, but buying later on by best commits
sion houses wiped out some of the loss.
Final cables moved up, showing l point
net gain. Spots sales at Liverpool, 5000
bales at 1-16d decline. The market was
as firm in the afternoon as 1t was weak in
the morning. With the disappearance of
the German bear element buyers were left
without opposition and under the lead of
several Wall street houses prices moved
up until or points advance over yester-
days close. Spots advanced Lice and spot
receipts We're 5000 against So 900 last
year. Estimates for Houston and New
Orleans tomorrow were also light, and this
naturally made shorts nervous. Weather
