Professional Stock Operators Were I'm
easy and Undecided-The Market
for Bonds Has Broadened
Out and Improved

New York, October H.-The traders in
stocks were unable to induce any noticeable
movement in prices during the two hours
of trading. The bears were inclined to at
tack the industrial specialties when it be-
came evident that the bulls were not in an
aggressive mood. Sales for spot account
were in evidence in the specialties, some of
which dropped off a point or over Realiz-
ing was also manifest in Pullman and New
York Central but the decline in prices was
too steep to overcome in the short session
remaining. The bears and realiza ton sales
caused a reaction in all departments and
traders were willing to let things stand
as they We're.
The main features of the bank statement
were repetitions of those last week There
is nothing in 1t to encourage an expectation
of an easier money market, but as last
weeks similar statement led to no renewal
or money stringency, the stock market was
inclined to the view that this weeks show
ing might lead to no worse result. 1t is
puzzling to account for the greater ease
which has developed in money during the
past week in face of the loan contraction
reported by the banks of 1886 900. The
stock market borrowers hope that money

The uneasy and undecided movements IF
professional stock operators have caused
confused and irregular movement of prices
during the week. As the professionals were
still largely committed to the short side,
the closing up of accounts has resulted
in hgh prices. .
1t is argued also that the Insignificant
volume of applications for the government

stringency was somewhat exaggerated.

Talbot g. PaImer's stock Letter

BY Private Wire from the New York Sun.
New York, October 21.-Today's stock
market prior to the publication of the bank
statement was extremely dull, and the
trading was largely professional in char
acter. There were sharp advances in SUI
gar, Illinois Central and Louisville and
Nashville, and Union Pacific common was
decidedly firm. Apart from the conjectures
as to the showing of the bank statement,
the days situation was rather featureless.
The particularly sharp rise in Sugar was
unexplained except by the covering of con-
tracts and the reactionary tendency of
Pullman and New York Central was re-
garded as natural in view of the sharp adj
vances those stocks have enjoyed. Brook
Ign Rapid Transit was heavily dealt in, as
usual but the fluctuations in the stock was
comparatively limited. The bank state
ment made a much more favorable show
ing then was expected on account of the
large reduction in loans, which decreased
S., 1856 900. The loss in actual cash amounted
to $3.50, 000, which about met the general
estimate. In consequence of the showing
of these items deposits decreased $6,5IO,000
and as result surplus reserve rose $26S,OOo
The banks now hold $1,3T0,000 in excess oil

Private cables from Liverpool report Man
chester spinners out of the market and will
only be tempted by lower prices. Private
