CONQUEST OF CHINA

Reports as to the Pekin legations
are still contradictory and unreliable;
but the developments SO far confirm
the truth II eur surmises last week.
to the effect that there is but one
pc xer which can in any degree con-
quer China, and that one only by ex-
termination. The Chinese troops are
showing unexpected strength. cour-
age and skill. When Great Britain
first made an "open door" the way
was opened for the Chinese conquest
ever white industry by cheap labor.
And now it looks as if the overpower-
ing numerical superiority of China
may similarly overcome white mill
tary skill. If the military operations
are much longer protracted the North
China winter will prove Formidable
adjunct. The one rift in the clouds
we can see is that if the war con-
tinues it may be necessary for the
British to withdraw from South At
RIGA, and the Americans from the
Philippines. II the conquest of even
one-tenth of China is to be the pro-
gramme, it will require all the mill
tary force at the command of these
''allies. Star.

FURTHER APATHY
 IN STOCK MARKET Trading Was Strictly in Hands
 of Professionals
PRICES AGAIN WENT OFF
Opening Was Steady But Buying Or ders Became scarce-Money Mar ket Continued Easier But May
 Have Expressive Influence

New York, October 31-The stock market became still further involved in apathy and indifference today Business was strictly in the hands of professional traders, and they did not push their transactions in Q very energetic manner. The rally which developed late yesterday in sympathy with the sudden upward movement in Southern Pacific retained some force this morning with the evidence of continued buying in that stock.
 The opening level of prices was higher than last night, and there was some fur ther advance, but when it became evident that the buying orders in Southern Pacific had been filled the market fell into a sort of lethargy. The resulting tendency to sag developed very gradually until near the close when the professional bears took courage and offered prices down. The ex- pertinent proved that buying orders were very scarce for a considerable range below the market, and some sharp declines were established before meeting any demand. As a result the earlier gains were completely wiped out, and the market closed below last night all around.
 The weakness was most marked in the high-prlced Industrials, the local transac- tion stocks and the Steel stocks.
 The decline in Tennessee Coal was coin cident with reports of dissatisfaction with the management.
 The money market continued quiet and easier, but it is not improbable that future prospects have repressive tendency upon speculation.
 Discounts both in London and in Berlin advanced sharply today. This was due tItrf fl,.a London it is evident that the Bank of Eng lands efforts to stiffen the open markets rates for money is meeting with success, and sterling rates both here and in London and Paris rose in response today.
 It is not believed that the Bank of Eng land Is yet prepared to advance the ot- ticial discount rate tomorrow, but that it's maneuvers will lead to that result is prop- able, which is to be reckoned with in the calculation on further gold imports. Mean- time the local money market may look for further advantage from the disbursements of interest and dividends after tomorrow. Payments of government interest alone will amount to nearly S, ,000, GOO; but the contin- ued large demand of the sub-treasury on account of internal revenue collections will be an offsetting influence for some time to come.
 Bonds gave way at some points in sym pathy with stocks after having shown LII III tiiC SeiliS uSethliSo' Iolu4 SetlSS, par value $, ,795,000. United States bonds were unchanged on the last call.

 The semi weekly interior movement at thirteen principal towns showed receipts for the week to have fallen off a little as compared with the previous week, but 5000 larger than the New York estimate of yes terday, receipts footing up 153,OOO against l60000 last week, 117,000 last year, and 1884, 000 the year before. This feature, how ever was lost sight of in the excitement that attended the heavy business that was handled during the session In the after noon came reports from many points in Texas, Mississippi and Louisiana of wind and rain storms which the trade looked upon as an advance agent of overcoat weather. What will transpire over night remains to be seen, but it strikes us that with rain in the Southwest where the weather is codest, chances for frost ma terialzing are not good the unexpected, however particularly in this business, gen eraly happens. Liverpool opened 2-64 up with spots off 1-32d sales of 5000 bales, but gained 6-6i additional the frost scare.

During the first two hours stocks had the appearance of going much higher but near the latter part of the session there was some heavy selling, supposed to be profit taking This caused a weaker feeling and prices sold sharply throughout the entire list. Sugar, being the leader, after selling at 1237s de- clined and closed at 122. Tennessee Coal and iron held steady until the closing hour, when there was break from 561a to 54a4.
