NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The movement OF
prices was irregularly upward for the railroad
stocks while many industrial stocks. especially
Of the more recently organized companies
showed symptoms Of weakness. The movement
of the market by pulsatlons. first one
then another group of stocks taking UP the
advance. There time during the day
when the general level of prices kept COMPANY
az the top, the rise in one group giving way
70 p reaction before the advance was taken un
by another. Many stocks We're sluggish
throughout the day. Prices generally gave way
after o'clock under the pressure Of realizing
IN the leather stocks, which had been the CEN
ter Of speculation all day. The earlier gains
were wiped out in numerous instances in this
reaction The aggressive advance OF the coal
ers checked the decline and rallied the mar
ket but not to the top level Tho advance in
the coalers was stiIl In force. but with frregu-
lar tendency. The gains in the coalers went
all the way from point in the minor members
of the group to IA in New Jersey Central
Dealings in the leather stocks were again on
an enormous scale the common rising at one
time to Is and the preferred to S2A. Other
points OF individual strength were Sugar, the

Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Generous rains through
out the Southwest. where claims of damage
by drought have been numerous recently
started wheat easy. Indifferent cables also
encouraged liquidation. Trade was too dull to
permit of any notable break and the decline
was slow, though sure, the market finally
reaching a point 119%c below yesterdays clos
ing price. In the meantime developed de-
cided strength. This. together with general
outside buying, started an upturn and the mar
ket continued to advance until the close The
market closed firm within fraction OF the
best price of the day. Shorts were free buyers
on the late bulge and hastened the advance
December opened h9Ko lower at 70k d70&sc ad-
vanced to 701kc declined to 69A670c advanced
to 705sc and closed at 701k@70ssc.
Corn was active and irregular. An estimate
that Nebraskss yield would amount to Pa
000 900 bushels this year, or 1000. 600 than
expected encouraged short selling for time
but the pressure had very little effect as the
market appeared to be oyersold. Then early
sellers turned buyers and in effort to get
back former holdings the price bid up
rapidly and the market, from being rather
downwardly inclined, became very strong De-
cember closed at 31HG31%c.
Sympathy with corn caused slight advance
bulk of trading consisted of changing Decem
Der to May. December advanced to 22@o at
the close.
Provisions were weak early but turned strong
near the close, with half dozen buyers for
everything offered for sale. The strength in
corn brought about the change in sentiment
January pork closed aDc higher January lard
5g71sc higher and January ribs TIC higher

Wall Street and Business.

The New York circular Of Henry Clews says;
The Wall street horizon looks somewhat
brighter. Extensive covering of short con-
tracts and reader buying by the larger opera
tors indicate a change OF tone, and on the
whole the tendency Of the week has been
towards bull ascendancy. There has been no
notable increase in the volume Of transactions,
and as yet the gain is chiefly seen IN IN
creased snap and confidence; which is perhaps
all that could be expected in the first mo
rneuts OF escape from a protracted depression.
This recovery is largely due to the improved
aspects of the local money market. The drain
of currency to the interior is abating, and
the near prospect OF the refiuN OF money 10
this center is trusted to bring about an early
revival in speculative securities.
An ultimately active and much higher mar
ket is almost universally accepted as a fore
gone conclusion and for manifest reasons.
Upon wide range Of stocks prices are low
tivity in trade now exists throughout the
country All accounts from the West represent
the prosperity among the farmers as surpass-
ing everything in past experience. The manu-
featuring centers also present an activity eX-
ceeding all precedent Everywhere industrial
plants appear TO be running TO their full ca
pacity. and in many cases day and night.
Labor was never so fully employed and never,
a rule, received such high wages; the effect
of which must appear in a large increase of
general consumption among the working
masses. The recent increase in the foreign
demand for mauufactures-now amounting
TO 1899 1000 per year, against 1000 900 six
years sgo-appears to be losing none OF it's
remarkable prDETeSS 1T spite OF lne enlarged
home consumption. The mercantile classes
are being benefited by a continuous rise in
the value of their stocks Of goods, and their
profits are in welcome contrast to the unsatis-
factory results OF the last five years of depres-
sion. Al this reflects the release of enterprise
from the restraints of the depression oonse-
Quent upon the silver craze and the over-pro-
duction OF the last five six years. II means
that, for that period, the demand of the coun-
try in every department Of consumption has
been restrained to the last point OF endurance
and that now, with common consent, the peo-
pie are in the act of compensating for their
past curtailments in supplying their wants Il
also means that during this contraction OF
consumption some nine millions Of new popu-
lation has come into existence with its large
additions TO the wants of the national con-
sumption It is doubtful whether, even among
the keen observers OF Wall street, there ls
any adequate conception OF what this change
Of conditions implies TO the magnitude OF
the demands now pressing upon the markets
and the industries OF the country. True Il is
nothing new 10 have period of trade depres
sion followed hy '7ir ~ pre- enerous activity,
but We have mover lt-fpre witnessed a situa-
ton in which this Kind ~f rrvival has existed
upon scale Of such magnitude aa we now wit.

Australian wool in bond, and have already
taken a considerable amount during the past
ten days. About 25O000 pounds of South
American crossbreds have also been sold and
further expectations of territories may be
looked for at any time. Prices are strong
with an upward tendency and the situation

ceived from Australia. The sales OF the week
