LISTLESS AND APATHETIC
SPECULATION IN STOCKS WITHOUT
ANY MARKED FEATURES.
Price Changes Small and the Net
Changes Few and stiTI Smaller
rem til of sterling Exchange.

NEW YORK, oct. 9-The same doubt
and hesitation regarding the future course
Of prices was reflected in to-day's stock
market as in yesterdays. Speculation was
~listless and apathetic and the sentiment Of
the small traders whose operations made
up the market underwent many variations.
Few active stocks show a net change Of as
much as a point. even where the days
range was considerable. The disposition
was to close up contracts both on the long
and the short side until the future course
Of prices outlines itself more definitely.
This tendency was demonstrated in the re-
spouse Of Brooklyn Transit and of Atchi-
son 10 the specific developments affecting
them. The annual report of Brooklyn
Transit, which was published after the
closing Of the market last night, was inter-
preted unfavorably in all the current COM
ment. especially in the disclosure tina the
treasury bonds had been sold during the
year. Yet the stock promptly advanced
and resisted an attempt on the part of pro-
fessional traders 70 depress the price. The
stock advanced at one time 21k. showing
the most conspicuous strength on the mar
ket. The increase in the Atchison dividend
rate. although confidently predicted in
~NDS 4e~A NNAS "a bCtn uclACQ Will cQudl
confidence in others. In fact, the decision
seems 90 have been discussed and finally
decided in the meeting itself of the direc-
tors. The attempt to advance the stock on
the announcement proved abortive, the ex-
IRENE rise over last night reaching less
than a point and the net gain only IA. The
doubt over the predicted advance was due
to the fact of the shortage in the corn
crop. Some Of the other Southwestern
railroads were offered down sharply, as
though TO emphasize this view. The bull
party hes1tated TO take up the speculation
Tor an advance, owing to the danger that
money hurries may still intervene before
the interior movement of currency termi-
mates. Sterling exchange was notably
strong to-day on an active demand, sterling
fairly touching $lS6. This is more than a
cent in the pound sterling above the gold
import point. Sugar and Amalgamated
Copper, which continued active, drifted
rather uncertainty, but with a rather firm
Undertone. Norfolk & Western was bid up
nearly two points at one time on the as
sumption that recent accumulation of the
stock has been for account of Pennsylvania
Railroad interests. The market closed ir-
regular.
There was a sharp break in Wabash
debenture Il bonds. The market otherwise
was rather dull and irregular. Total sales,
at par value, were $2,S40,00. United States
bonds We're all unchanged on the last call.
Following are the days share sales and
the recorded price changes:

FOR RIVERS AND HARBORS.
Congress to Be Asked for A~pprOpria-
tions-ROw Over n Resolution.

BALTIMORE, Nd, Oct. 9.-The river and
harbor congress completed it's deliberations
here to-day aad adjourned sine die, after
which the member took an excursion TO
Annapolis and other points on the Chesa-
peake bay. The only incident of note was
the practical squelching of a resolution ex-
pressing confidence in President Roosevelt.
which, instead of being adopted at once.
was referred TO a committee, much to the
displeasure of those who favored its i'm
mediate passage. This action was the re-
suit rather of a disagreement among some
of the delegates than a disinclination on
the part OF the congress 10 adopt il.
The congress adopted resolutions deplor-
ing the failure of the national Congress
to properly provide for river and harbor
Improvement and declaring that in opinion
of the delegates there is no more important
duty devOlving upon the national legisla-
tors than providing for such expenditures.
a committee was appointed to present the
matter properly at the next session of the
United States Congress.

Only Small Net Changes.

IGranger Farwell & Co.'S telegram
The stock market to-day was again large
ly professional. The placing of Atchison
common on a 4-per-cent. basis, while it
caused some buying of the stocks, had a
disappointing effect on the general market,
and after q small squirt on the announce
ment of the dividends prices sagged off and
the market bN1ame inactive. There was
some lively covSring by shorts in Brooklyn
Rapid Transit, but when the prices reached
60 there was plenty of long stock for sale
and the price did not hold. Except in a
few specialties closing prices showed only
fractional changes for the day.

HOrSeS-Ihe announcement tnat the morse
auction this week would be i'm the nature Of
a special sale attracted more liberal con-
signments of all kinds, and the supply was
probably larger than anticipated. In their
regular sale to-day the Blair-Baker Horse
Company had almost 500 head TO offer, and
the usual variety of animals was repre-
scented. but, Of course, there was a larger
proportion of desirable stock. There was
quite a liberal number of harness horses,
and while none was the kind TO command
phenomenal prices. there was a number
that sold considerably above the average
for regular sales. There was a continued
good attendance of buyers. and the de-
mand at the opening was up to expecta-
tons. The Eastern and export trade was
most I'm evidence, but the demand from
other points was better than ordinary.
Prices compare favorably with those cur
rent at the corresponding time last week
for the general run of sales. Those that
were taken at a higher figure were usually
above the average in quality. 1t was ap-
parent toward the close of the sale that
the most important orders were being well
supplied, and there was a tendency toward
in the last transactions, but 1t
was observed that strictly good stock sold

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS,
Oct. 9.-Cattle-Receipts 1,15O; shipments,
1O0. Thus far this week the receipts of cat
tie show a decrease Of 400, compared with
the same time last week, and the receipts
to-day are nearly 400 smaller than a week
ago. There was no material change in the
condition of the general cattle Market, COM
pared with yesterday. The offerings for the
most part continue below the requirements
of killers in quality or flesh, and they re-
quire more than ordinary in making their
selections, which, Of course, gives the trade
a sluggish appearance. Most dealers re-
ported a steady market for all thick fat
stock, but an exceedingly dull trade for
others, and it was observed that statesmen
who had more OF the common stock TO sell
spoke less favorably of the general market
than those who were more fortunate in hav-
ing a better class to deal with. The best
steers here, averaging 1,465 lbs, sold at Sc.

orders on account Of the low prices pre-
vaiiing in the Eastern markets and pack
ors completed their orders before all had
been sold, therefore the last arrivals were
neglected and probably could not lave been
sold except at a further decline. At a late
hour it looked like several loads would be
carried over in first hands. Sales ranged
from S.60G6.50. there being comparatively
few reported below $3.50. but the bulk Of
the supply sold below $50. Quotations:
