Quotations Of Staple Products in the

New York Stock, Money and Grain
Market Review.
(From Price, Mccormick s. Co, ZIG
Middle Street)

New York, Friday, October 6.-Stocks
London seemed to be in more cheerful
frame of mind today. Consols showed
m Improvement of an is for both money
and account. Americans were strong
dnder the lead CT l.. 81. N. which wai
Sd over our clcse. The American papers
obtained nothing new In regard to the
Trsnsvaal situation, but for some reason
or another there seemed to be an impres.
sion that the cha noes for peace were bet
ter. 1t transpired later that the Lon ion
market was influenced by n rumor that
Great Britain had acquired control OF the
Delagoa Bay. II this should be true 10
would practically cut off all supplies
from the outside world from the Trans
vaal. Our markst opened strong unde !
the lead Of American Tobacco and l.. s.
N. the latter stock advancing about one
per cent above Thursdays close. The
buying seemed to be about equally divid-
ed between London houses, covering of
shorts by prominent Broad street house
and the professional element, the advances
being accompanied by the rumors that 1t
was likely that should the earnings OF the
company continue to increase as at pres :
ent larger returns would be made to the
stock holders, in the near future.
OF the industrials American Tobacco
was the leader; so-called inside brokers
bought. 1t is said that the company is
earning over IL per cent upon the present
stock issue, which is over "a per cent on
the old stock. Another feature WAS
Southern Pacific, here again the favor
able earnings were the basis for the ad-
vance.
During the afternoon there was some
increase In activity, but 1t was only In
spots. Leather common advanced on the
purchase of some ten thousand shares by
MIR. Content the specialist selling 5000
in a block. This buying started rumor
that some change had been made in the
plans of a nature favorable to the stock
holders, however. so far, there Is moth
ing to confirm this.
A drive was made at d. r. T.. which
was credited to Mr.. Kesus. Generally
the market closed strong.
