Ne5U York Stock Mdrke:t.

NEW YORK Oct. 27-The stock market
made a considerable display of strength during
the early hours OF the day. Later there were
occasional advances by individual stocks or
groups, some Of which saved gains on the day,
but IN the majority of cases the active selling
movement Of the last hour wiped out the ear
lier gains and carried prices in some cases
sharply below last nights level The motive
OF the selling was the fear Of unfavora Bile
bank statement tomorrow, well as to take
attractive profits on the week 8 advance. The
high-priced industrial specialties and the iron
and steel stocks were conspicuous in the late
reaction.
The most notable movement of the day was
through the South and Southwest. The large
earnings shown by monthly returns caused the
movement. The same motive advanced the
price Of AtchisOn preferred and Northern Pa

greater part of the day many Of the leading

We're various points OF weakness in the minor
