GENERAL MARKET REPORTS

Special Dispatch to The Evening" Star
NEW YORK, October 19.-The volume OF
commission business showed signs of inn
provement this morning and was well dis
tributed throughout the railway list. Some
further covering was noted, and the ar
bitrage houses bought upward Of 10000
shares. Vanderbilt and Standard Oh buy
ing was reported. and there was no evil
dence that these interests had not begun a
moderate accumulation Of the standard
shares. Positive information that they
were buying vas lacking but the activity
OF the brokers usually employed gave rise
to the conviction that the time had come,
for the better-known shares at least.
The industrial list was steady, with here
and there some moderate gain. Sugar was
taken in round amounts and served TO help
the entire market.
The forcing out Of a large short interest
in Brooklyn Rapid Transit was missed to-
day. since new business was light IN those
shares and for a time there was tendency
toward weakness due to realizing on yester-
days purchases. The room has abandoned
It's selling for the time being, because OF a
belief in a strong effort soon to force out
the remaining short interest.
Commission houses continued to advise
purchases on declines and were disposed
to consider conditions a trife more prom
Using than for several weeks. In almost
every instance clients We're advised to ex-
pect profits of only moderate proportions.

until later In the year for more general
movement.
Money was offered on about the same
terms as heretofore and in tho same vol

Londons need of gold and the other vague
features Of the Transvaal war are factors
which Justify most careful consideration
but London's small demand for our stocks
today helped to inspire confidence in a sat

ties
Differences Of opinion as TO the outcome
of the Pullman meeting were reflected by
sharp decline In the price of those shares
during the opening trading. At the low

and the sentimental effect OF strength in
| this group helped the rest Of the market.
The steel stocks and tho anthracite coal
| shares were in good demand again, and
seemed to be advancing under a demand
! superior to the recent buying. Trade re-
ports continue to favor the iron and coal

! that advantage will be taken of such en-
| couraging facts to force prices well to the

JUMPED FROM FERRY BOAT
Letter Written by Desperate Woman Found
by Deck Hands.
Discouraged and FriendIess She Had
Nothing TO Live For-Knew
Bishop Potter.

BOSTON, October 19.-The deck hands on
the East Boston ferry boat Revere found a
womans cape and handbag on seat after
the midnight trip last night and from let
tiers found in the bag it is believed the
owner committed suicide by jumping from
the boat. One Of the letters was addressed
Mrs. D. l. Clark general delivery. Worces-
ter" and the other, which was in an I'M
directed, unsealed envelope, stated that the
woman saw nothing in life to keep her on
earth, and directed that If her body ever
should be found the authorities should re-
fer to Bishop Potter Of New York, who
would see that it was buried. Both letters
were written on paper bearing the seal Of
the Hotel Touraine Boston. The letter re-
ferring to Bishop Potter is as follows:
BOSTON, October II, 1899.
This last note Of discouraged anu
friendless woman, who sees nothing more
in life to keep her on earth, is written with
a full consciousness of the fateful step
which ] am about to take.
If my sorrows die with me all Will be
well but | fear they VIII sooner or later

tie kindness at first or consideration later
might have nourished into full bloom ana

tirely perverted from the path of right

it would do no good and rob me entirely
of the little comfort which l may find "
death.
That 1 may sink out of sight and out OF
mind forever is my dying wish. Should l
be identified after death l feel that can
confidently refer those who are in author
ity to Right Rev. Bishop Henry c. Potter
Of New York city, who, having known me
well under better circumstances, am sure
will see to it that my body is given decent
burial.
In the satcheI also were found two popu-
lar novels in paper binding, clippings from
the San Francisco Call Of September 20,
giving their Oakland race course tips and
several letters torn into small bits. Some
of the pieces when placed together formed
part of a typewritten letter which read;
Have today conferred with your hus-
bands attorneys and they inform US that

Their sums. They also assert that you, on

and although drawn under these circum-
stances, he honored it rather than further
discredit you. We cannot see our way clear
to proceed further in the -
Nothing further could be learned from
the fragments.
The boat hands describe the woman as
fashionaby dressed and having the bearing
of person of education. refinement and
wealth. She was about five feet six inches
in height. and fifty years of age.
The police were engaged on the case all
night. but had not found the body nor any

1t was added that the conditions at that
time We're worse than on majority of the
days when lack of wind prevented races
being finished.
Asbury Park at I'll said a good north
easterly breeze was blowing there near the

the racing yachts had very little wind.
The Western Union boat. at lis, reported
that the slight puffs of wind there showed
