The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1899-10-18

The market was unchanged to-day, and
business not very lively. Factors were APP
parently in waiting attitude. AS one
factor expressed it, no news at all Is
good news and SO long as the market
holds its own there is no reason for gen
eral complaint. The opinion however, IS
the next change will be an advance,
tbouob advices from the trading centers
at present are not altogether encouraging
some construe the lull in the upward
movement of prices a pause, and mat me
next change will be the accumulated
strength carving the market upward.
