EASTERN MARKETS.
NeS0 York Stock Market.

NEW YORK Oct 22.-Waiting the North
ern Pacific settlement best describes the con-
dition of to-day's stock market. AS the convic-
tion is general that the final steps in the set
tlenent must await the presence in this city of
J. P. Morgan and as that gentleman was re-
ported still in the Northwest on his return
across the continent the outlook for immedt-
ate activity in the stock market was not prom
ising. Whether any Significance attaches to
the fact that out of the Northwest came the
influence which moved the stock market to
strength and activity late in the day can only
be surmised. There was no clearly defined ex-
PLANTATION of the movement, but it grew and
spread from the Chicago and Northwestern
stocks and embraced the principal railroads IN
the Northwest and the Vanderbilts all the way
to the seaboard. Northwestern itself rose an
extreme points the preferred 10, Chicago, ST.
l8 Chicago milwaukee and St Paul and
the preferred AZ. Considerable sympathetic
effect was produced by this at the last, result
ing in advances Of as much point in some
cialties. New York Central and the so-caIied
Junior Vanderbilts advanced 1 to 11a.
An impression has gone abroad that the de-
velopment pending in the Vanderbilt system
is TO take the form of melon-cutting for the
benefit Of Lake Shore. The recent increase in
the valuation of subsidiary stocks held in its
bursement, which would operate indirectly to
the benefit OF New York Central. The pamph
Notwithstanding the large decrease in net earn
ings reported as a result of last years spring
wheat shortage contained so iatterng an ac-
count Of the general conditions in that region
and the large movement of immigrants thther
that 1t was an important influence in the rise
Of all the Northwestern railroads. Great
Northern preferred itself fell 115 at first, owing
to the showing of net earnings, but recovered
with the late movement in the group. There
was continued speculation in Amalgamated
Copper, the stock receding early on the decline
in raw copper in London, and the further
spread of futures below that for spot ndicat-
ing the expectation of a coming fall in prices
Amalgamated Copper, however recovered with
the late buying movement in the market. Large
lending of money on call, coming from the
banks affiliated with the Standard Oil party,
was interpreted by the SPECTATORS as an indi-
cation that the recent attitude of opposition
to speculative advance by that party had
been modified.
The banks received payments for an addition
al half-million Of gold at Pacific Coast points
and there reports that the movement of
currency to the South was declining, although
600 was deposited at the 6ub-treasury for
transfer to New Orleans. From money stand
point the further violent rise in foreign
change was not reassuring. There seems to be
something like a rush of cotton this week to
EXPORT points, but this has not had the slight
est influence in checking the advance in

Provisions were steady at Chicago but the
outlook there is not bullish, as the market
goes down every day or two and never gets

Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, Oct. 22-There was little news Of
European business in wheat at the outset and
December wheat opened unchanged to shade
higher at 705s@701sc on steady cables The trade
largely local with no early reports of ex-
ports. Conditions were ready, therefore, for a
slump in prices when sharp decline began ill
corn. Following this influence December wheat
sagged off to 7OA@702sc. Primary receipts had
also increased considerably. but these factors
toward lower prices We're soon overbalanced by
renewed reports of drought damage to the crop
of Argentina. Under this influence December
regained it's early loss and sold to 70s070%c,
though there was nothing like any active trade.
Continental cables failed to respond to the
Argentine news and December closed only
steady a shade higher, at 701zQ705sc.
Corn gave way early under a renewal of the
selling that set in yesterday, but recovered
sharply on an oversold market. December
closed weak. Nc depressed, at 551s@5JAc.
Oats had dull and narrow market. Decem-
Der closed steady unchanged at 35Bc.
Provisions ruled easy on large supply of
hogs and resulting lower hog market. There
was a recovery toward the close of the session
by covering for shorts, but the cash demand
was sluggish and January pork closed ne
lower, lard 71ac down, ribs 25c lower.
