PRICE OF STOCKS
 VARIED GREATLY asH Professional Traders Conducted Operations With Free Hand  MUCH RESISTANCE OFFERED Selling to Realize on Union Pacific Was Enormous, Blocks of One Thous-
 and Shares Coming Out
 Freely on Offering

New York, October 1S.-The movement of the price of stock became exceedingly va ried today and irregular under influence of conflicting speculative forces. These forces were largely professional leaders in stocks and they conducted their operations with free hand on large scale. So far as the surface of events showed a large and in- 1uential bear party inaugurated a campaign for a decline today. There was open selling by an interest which has long persisted on the long side of the market, and for whose accounts there were large selling today, not only in stocks, in which there has been open buying for sometime, but in other stocks all around the room. On the other hand there was resistance offered to the de- cision by the manipulation of various spe- cial stocks with resulting sharp advances How far this latter resulted from desire to sustain the market for the purpose Of realizing in other stocks could only be sur missed In Union Pacific the selling to realize was on an enormous scale, blocks Of 1OOO shares and upwards coming out frequently. Considering the volume of dealings the nar- row movement of the price is pretty good indication of a continuing heavy demand. The stocks extreme range was 3s, which measured the declaration. and in the late dealings there was full recovery. The heav- fest selling pressure for the day was Tn stocks which have been recently the cen- ter of bull operations. Pennsylvania, Baltt- more and Ohio, Southern Pacific, Atchison preferred and Louisville and Nashville were conspicuous in this category. During the early hours of the day the aggressive sell ing was succeeded by periods of dullness and feeble rallies, but the developments of positive strength at some points later in the day made the undertone frmer through out.
 The first notable rally was in the iron and steel stocks, which were suddenly advanced all around by rapid stops from 1 to 2A. Prices of the group then fell back, but points of strength developed elsewhere
 The bond market continued irregular on fair volume of business. Total sales, par value, $1,715,OO0. United States new As ad- vanced A on the last call.

New York. October 1S.-The cotton mar ket openad steady. with prices to points higher L.9e"po0Ps strength at the time of our opening was in excess of ideas based on yesterdays rise nere, and becams the mo- tive for nasty covering on the part of local shorts. Foreign buying orders and invest ment support also were prominent.
 The buying did not cease with the ad- journment of the call, and the tone of the market improved accordingly The bulls bought the winter monl'is with great con- fdence. Before the close of the first hour however, there was a marked change for the worse and in much less time than they had advanced, prices dec ned b points un- der a rush to sell by nearly every branch of the trade. The decline was due to the sudden reaction in Liverpool, due to contra dction from this side of frost reports. The government chart did not show frost in the belt.
 Receipts were about up to expectations, the crop reports were generally favorable and crop estimates continued to broaden But before midday the market once more became firm and advanced quite rapidly on a renewal of early covering and fresh buy ing, from outside accounts Special teie- grams from Washington stated that heavy frost had made its appearance last night in several parts of the Carolinas, and it was this news that gave the market strength, which held sway pretty much during the rest of the session. Just before the close spurt of local selling carried prices down several points. The market closed barely steady at a net loss of 3 to Il points, the latter on October only

THE BOOK OF FATE.
An Interesting Game For Bright
Boys and Girls.

An Interesting Game For Bright
Boys and Girls
The game of the Book of Fate is one
that taxes the memory rather severely.
The leader takes a pack of cards, two
or three of which he distributes to each
player, reserving to himself the re-
mainder, which he is at liberty to con-
suit when necessary-he having moth
ing to do with the game beyond his
office of superintendent
Each player conceals his cards care
fully from his neighbor.
The distribution concluded, the lead
or asks the player nearest to him,
Have you read the Book of Fate?
The answer is. II have read the Book
of Fate
What did you read in the Book OF
FateT'
Il read so-and-so." naming which
ever card he pleases. provided it be
not one OF those cards in his hand.
The leader consults his reserve pack.
II the card alluded to is i'm it, the play
er who names it pays forfeit. If the
card is not in the reserve pack, the
other players examine their cards, and
the one in whose hand it is found lays
the card OH the table and gives it to
the leader. The holder of the card
pays n forfeit and acquits the manner
OF it. The player who was previously
Intercepted now becomes the question
er and inquiries of his left hand neigh
Dor. Have you read the Book of
Fate?" and so on till all the cards have
returned to the hands of the leader.
In course of having to name so many
cards 1t is natural that there should be
some repetitions; the inattentive player
who forgets the cards that have been
already named pays a forfeit. The
leader must take care to keep apart
from the rest of the pack the cards
that have been already named, to con-
ceal them from the players, so as to
give no hint of what has gone before.
and to consult them every time a fresh
card is named. Any card named and
found in the hands of the speaker costs
the latter n forfeit. AS the cards be-
come exhausted the players who have
been relieved of theirs retire from the
game.
