STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 28.-There was no very
aggressive bull spirit manifest from the
outset in todays stock market although
there was some support for special stocks
from time to time and a rather hating
attempt made to revive the spirit OF the
bulls by bidding up a group of specialties
about midday. The demand for stocks,
however, was at minimum and prices
kept sagging to lower level. The pres
sure was not severe through the greater
part of the day but gained fbrce and in
the last hour of the session became acute.
The bears added their selling to the real
izing and uncovered stop loss orders. The
realizing was by recent speculative buy
ers evidently, as was shown by The con-
spicuous weakness of these stocks which
have been under recent manipulation for
the advance. The weakness became quito
general at the last and the majority of
active stocks fell a point or more be-
low Saturday. The taking of bear profits
by the room traders caused Only feeble
rallies and the closing was weak at about
the lowest. Undoubtedly the hardening
tendency of the money market and the
prospect of gold shipments to Paris this
week prompted the speculative lquida-
tion. But it was true also that a growing
spirit of doubt arose as to the recently
current rumors which have been the
basis for advancing prices. The clouds
of uncertainty which have gathered again
over the Northern Pacific settlement
seemed to gather gloom in the speculative
mind after Mr.. Morgan had arrived at his
office and no instantaneous statement was
given out. The renewed weakness of
Amalgamated Copper was also an unset
foa f11rc pf
and of Sugar was very heavy for Boston
account Call loans rose today to four
per cent and the assurance which was
professed on Saturday over the increase
in the cash reserves of the banks was
dissipated and yielded to anxiety OH ac
count of the large loan expansion. For
eign exchange continued firm today but
no gold was engaged for expert TO Ger
many by tomorrow's steamers. In fact,
the discount rate at Berlin eased OFF
a fraction today and sterling exchange
hardened, indicating relaxation OF tnos
pressure at that point. There was 10
rally, however, in sterling exchange al
Paris and it is generally expected that
gold will go from New York to that rolnt
on Thursday in considerable volume. Cali
money stiffened sharply in London AID
open market discount rates rose we'll
above the bank rate, indicating an early
advance by the bank. In the domestic
money market a renewed activity of mon
ey at western points was reported, and
New York exchange at Chicago dropped
back to 25 cents discount, while ship
ments to New Orleans from here con-
tinue.
The railroad bond market was influ-
enced somewhat by the weakness in
stocks but changes were not important
Total sales (par Nalue) $2,1000,00O.
United States bonds were all unchanged
on the last call.

COTTON.
New York, Oct. 28-The cotton market
opened weak with prices from 5 10 IL
points lower and continued to decline
pretty much all the rest of the session
under scattering sales for both accounts
which were prompted by bearish foreign
and domestic news as well as by total alb
sence Of speculative support. BY mid
day January had sold off to 764 and other
months in proportion. The bulk of the
compsrativelv sme,l business done was
in late months. The initial decline was
the dircc. -rsn1t of weakness abroad, Liv-
crpool having declined q to ) points as
compared with an expected rise of ! to
2 points. Good weather reports and large
receipts acted as check to buying for a
reaction while runlors that spot cotton
in Southern markets was being offered
more freely to exporters acted as re-
straint upon prospective investors. The
South cc'' Ncre as a hedge against spot
cotton and Wall Street sold ont a large
amount of their January holdings in an
ticipation of a further dull, dragging mar
ket. All news from spinning centres in
this country was encouraging while in
the dry goods markets large business at
firm prices was reported. Large estimates
for tomorrow's receipts at New Orle fans
and Houston, with forecast for generally
favorable weather over the belt helped
to give the market heavy undertone in
the late session. The close was steady,
at net decline of Is to 10 points.
