TONE OF MARKET FIRNER
The Short Interests Trying TO Gov
er on Advancing Prices.
An Attempt 20 Force Further Liqui-
dation Apparently Abnndoned-Tbe
London Situation and Current
Money Rates - Great Activity in
Brooklyn Rapid and Sugar Shares.

NEW YORK, Oct. 15.-WhiIe the days
movements in the stock market appeared
to be almost wholly the result of the mar
kets technical conditions. the prevailing
tone was. nevertheless, the firmest that
has been seen for some time. The sharper
advances that were noted in the more ect-
i've stocks were unquestionably the result
Of attempts to cover outstanding contracts
by the very extended short interest. This
speculative party has become disconnected
at the absence of any considerable out
side liquidation, notwithstanding the sew
eral matters Of an unsettling character that
have been occupying it. The more aggres-
sive operators for the short account have
apparently reached the conclusion that If
general liquidation has not been forced by
those matters. there is nothing that can
bring 1t about. AT all events today's very
general covering movement disclosed the
circumstances that have been apparent
for some time. namely, that very few
stocks are Offering for sale, and that the
bulk Of the limited commission business
is unGuestionably on the buying side. As
already noted, il was these simple tech
nical circumstances 10 which the course
of prices was attributable. The week
opened with little or no actual news bear
ing upon the general market. The South
African situation was unattended by any
further arrangement of the speculative
situation in London. and, indeed, Ameri-
can stocks were shown this morning at
sharp advances from Saturdays local clos
ing figures. The subsequent operations in
this market for foreign account were ex-
tremely limited, but the tendency of the
London market was certainly effective in
shaping sentiment here at the opening.
The local money market ruled at about
the level prevailing toward the close of
business last week. and practically all the
new borrowing was effected at and under
the legal rate of interest. Sterling ex-
change continued firm, as ii will, in all
probability, pending the financial arrange
ments of the English Government in con-
nection with the South African war. While
Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Sugar Refining
engaged the bulk of speculative attention,
the trading was fairly active elsewhere,
and several sharp advances were scored
which could scarcely be referred 10 buying
for the short account. Notable instances
were in Great Northern preferred and in
Pullman Palace Car. Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit was depressed al the opening, as was
Manhattan, and while both stocks sub
sequentiy rallied, their movements were
marked by some feverishness. Apart from
Sugar Refining, the movements in the in
dustrial quarter we're irregular. The stocks
based upon the steel industry continued
fairly steady, while the paper shares were
quite unsettled. The granger shares and
other standard issues were moderately ac-
tive, and the advances in that quarter were
generally within fractional limits.

The outsider. the man who is a part of
"the public" does not profit by his expe-
rience this year any more than he did last
and he is not buying stocks now. The
people that are buying are the insiders.
And inasmGch as the insiders are the peo-
pie that make money in the stock market
and 'the p7blic' are the people that lose
this ought 10 be fine argument in favor
~ buying al this time. There is another
good argument present every day in the
street. The tipsters are bearish, losing all
hope that any recovery can come for weeks
or months, If at all. The few that have
any hope advise buying only on reactions
and tell people to sell out Immediately on
fractional recoveries. Many of the brokers
almost refuse TO take peoples money to
buy stocks with. And the plain matter OF
fact In ali this is that the public is not
wanted while prices are on the bottom.
The fact that there are few brokers with
regulations TO lose that take a hopeful
view OF the situation at this time only
makes the attitude Of others the more
prominent.

THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
The Prices of Cereals Yielding TO
Large Visible Supplies.

CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Wheat at one time
was cent under Saturday and closed one
half cent under. There seemed nothing of
bull sort. Good rains West put an end to
the dry weather talk. Liverpool was higher.
There was large increase on passage. The
increase in the visible was almost 3,000,-
GOO bushels Low grades of wheat were par
ticularly weak. Ocean freight rates have
advanced cents within ten days. The
cost Of getting any kind of grain from Buff
fa1o TO Liverpool has increased cents a
bushel within a fortnight.
Corn closed lac to l-2c under Saturday
and at one time showed twice that decline
Elevator people were selling. Receipts
we're large and clearances were only 100000
bushels. Liverpool was lid to 5-Sd lower.
There were very large worlds shipments.
The freight rate situation has weakened
corn of late and is likely to further af-
feet it.
Oats closed about where they did Sat-
urday, early in the day showing Lac de-
cline Oats are expected to ease off some
with corn.
Hog receipts and a lower market for
the same caused an easy feeling in pro-
visions and the closing was quite at mod
crate decline. A leading packer was cred
tied with selling the January product and
offerings were liberal from longs. The
buying was scattered with some support
from European houses Today's cash de-
mand was disappointing only a small
| trade being reported.

SPECULATION ON THE FIGHT.
The Anxiety of Peter sfaher to Take
Jeffries, Place.

NEW YORK, Oct 16.-Peter Maher is
anxious to take Jim Jeffries' place and
meet Tom Sharkey at Coney Island on Oc-
tober 27, notwithstanding the fact that
he is matched to fight Kid Mccoy. The
Irishman is not lacking in condition. The
sports in town do not put much faith in
the reports that Jeffries has hurt his hand.
They say 1t is a subterfuge to influence the
betting. Sharkey is greatly put out because
the champion desires a postponement. If
this should come to pass Sharkey says
he will demand the forfeit of $2,500, which
both boxers have deposited with al Smith
Speculation on the battle has begun.
Jeffries rules favorite at 100 to 70. Nick
Allegretti, who said few days ago he
had $4,000 to bet at to 8, says that offer
still holds good.

The good advance that was made In the
stock market yesterday, was what had been
expected and it caused no surprise. Cow
ering of shorts was certainty at an early
day this week, and the only uncertainty
In the situation was as to whether the
bears might make another attempt at ham
mering prices yesterday before they gave
up their fight against heavy odds. 1t was
seen early In the session that they consid-
cred discretion the better part. The out
look is good. II cannot be doubted that
the conditions. general and technical, are
ripe for a fine advance in prices. Such
may not be the outcome at this time. The
professionals may not give up this week
