To-days stock market was In many
respects a counterpart OF the early
trading of the week. There was, how
ever. more uniformity to the advan-
cling tendency, exceptions being limit
ed to only a few stocks. A distinctive
broadening to the dealings aroused OPP
timism in some quarters as to possible
early participation in the market by
the nublic. Some of the commission
houses received orders, and stress was
laid upon the promise of dividend pay
ing railroads in the rise. AS an Onset
the bears dwelt on the depletion OF
New York city bank reserves conse-
quent upon the gold exports ana the
usual contraction in general business
in a presidential election season
While the bank statement on Saturday
will have to reflect upwards of Sll,0OO,-
OOO gold shipped, it is expected that the
loss in the surplus reserves or the
banks will be largely offset by the re-
ceipts Of gold from the Pacific coast
points. interior currency movement
and gains from the sub-treasury. Inc

here to-day continued easy, but an
easier tendency was noted in discounts
in London. which caused long sterling
bills to harden here, and the posted fg-
ures were marked UP " cent. 1t is
stated that further gold shipments at
profit are impossible at current rates
for demand bills $4.S71a, the Bank OF
England having withdrawn its interest
allowance for gold in transit. The
stock market in detail showed consplc-
uous strength in many quarters, with
the tendency for special stocks In
fiuenced by rumors. For example, New
Jersey Central jumped over points
on reports Of change of ownership
of the property and favorable develop
ments in the anthracite coal trade
Other coal stocks sympathiZed, but the
late reaction reduced their gains to
fractions. outside of Delaware & Hud-

lent interest in the movement in the
shares. Brooklyn Transit spurted up
2 points on the reputed favorable
character of its pending annual state
ment. but the announcement late IN
the day that the report would not be
published for several weeks wiped out
pretty much all the rise. Operations
in the steel group were within rather
narrow limits, and they closed some
what off on bear pressure due to an
other decline in warrants. Railroad
stocks, particularly the Granger group
received good support, but they suf-
fered in common with the general list
in the selling movement toward the
close. At intervals to-day individual
groups were singled out for an adj
vance. and as the room traders gener-
ally followed what appeared to be
good buying, other stocks received less
attention, and usually lost ground. SUI
gar, Peoples Gas and Consolidated Gas
were conspicuous features in the mar
ket at different times, but in only the
latter was there any material effect
left of the demand. a net gain of 312
points being established. Sentiment
abroad was reported to be more favor
ably inclined toward American rails
and London took almost 10000 shares
OF stock Profit taking was INDUCED in
in the late dealings. and the market
gave way all around, ending under
pressure.
More business was transacted IN
railroad bonds to-day than for some
time, and there was a decided upward
tendency for some issues, particularly
