leave it to the thoughtful people Of

his object was accomplished when he

Dried Fruit in Ne7U York.

The New York Commercial says:
The upward tendency in all varieties OF dried
fruits continues. and prices are on the verge OF
an advance in a number of prominent lines De-
Inand and inquiry both much heavier, and
brokers and commission men are Corresponding
" jubflant. Even though business has seemed
exceedingly dull for some weeks, as a matter
OF fact the fall demand has begun much
earlier than usual in some lines. This is due
TO the fact that the market is virtually bare of
some sorts, and buyers are compelled TO go into
the market early to supply their customers.
There is a fairly liberal movement in new
loose Aiuscatel raisins for consumptive pur-
poses. Trading for the past few days has been
active and some of the large sales reported in
process Of negotiation are said to have been
contaminated. but that statement cannot be
wholly confirmed. SultanaS are doing better,
and Nalencias are moving out at good prices.
'Prunes tend upward. particularly the small
sizes. which are nearly unObtainable. Buyers
pay a premium for all small-sized prunes they
get and COS SOS and los are scarce in all posi-
tions. Up to 314c is offered in cases for the
are held firmly at Sc. Demand Is increasing
and movement is much heavier.
Peaches are firm. and the prices tend up
ward on all sizes and grades. Heavy specula-
tive buying, removing perhaps 800 cars from the
regular channels of distribution has had a
hardening effect the market, and some
grades have gone up with jump. None are to
think that further advances will be made
shortly.
"Apricots. the shortest crop Of all the dried
fruits, firm and tending upward. Buyers
are making more inquiry. but actual transac-
tions Of any considerable size are not known" q"

Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Oct. 12.-An absence of the war
spirit that dominated the Liverpool market
yesterday put Wheat traders here in a bear
ish mood at the start. December opened ia
Zc lower at 72MG727sc and during the first
half of the session sold off to 722s17215c. The
decline marked by good deal of irregu-
cautious. but scalpers seldom failed to ac-
cept Lice profit If the market went that much
iR their favor and then halted a second.
Finally when the market got down to put
prices the bulls picked up a little courage and
succeeded in forcing an upturn, December ad-
vancing to 731sc. Good outsiCe buying and
heavy clearances at the seabo8rd helped the
advance The improvement was short-lyed
the selling of sufficient volume to sat
isfy all and the price slid back to 729sc where
1t closed.
Corn declined early under heavy liquidation.
Buying by elevator interests caused TEN.
porary recovery. but in the afternoon the mar
ket sagged and was heavy at the close. De-
cember closed at 313sc.
Oats were fairly active and firm. An ex-
cellent cash demand and good country de-
mand strengthened the market. December
closed with sellers at 23hG23ssc.
Provisions ruled heavy and declined under
free liquidation by packers and commission
houses. There was recovery from the bottom
in sympathy with the grain rally. January

The Bank of England return was regarded
as rather unfavorable. but it had no effect on

EASTERN MARKETS
NeaV York Stock Market.

NEW YORK. Oct. 12.-The stock market
made couple of feeble and futile efforts to
advance this morning. The lethargy of the
trading was invitation to bear aggression
and when a determined leadership developed
for that faction the professional element among
the traders was quick to follow the lead A
single block Of ST. Paul OF $500 shares was
quickly followed by another of 1000 shares Of
fered by brokers who are usually employed
by the acknowledged bear leaders. Selling
generally all around the room was the Sc
Quence The two large blocks of St Paul
went at 124A, and the price had fallen to
123% in a few minutes The grangers, New
York Central, Cleveland, Cincinnati. Chicago
and st. Louis and the leading high-priced spec
ialties the principal sufferers. Brooklyn
Transit was under conspicuous pressure and
dropped TO 85%. Pullman made a brilliant ad-
vance Of S1a points rumors of the coming
absorption of the leading competitor, which
were denied later This isolated in
stance Of positive strength. Louisville was
the leader of the abortive advance and was
rather firm after having the advance wiped
out. Otherwise the heaviness quite uni
form. The developments in South Africa had
very little effect on the market. Call money
worked a shade easier and did not touch
higher than per cent. What with last Sat
urdays receipts of gold from Europe and some
small accretions of the precious metal from
other sources and the relaxed pressure by the
sub-treasury, added to the further contraction
OF loans which has been made, a more favor
able showing is expected from the New York
banks IN the Saturday statement But the
general outlook in the money market is con-
Soered anything but favorable. The violent
