that he is fugitive from justice, but did
not specify facts OF the crime In rui-

said
"Mr. District Attorney you have

Immediately after his discharge Spry

Conditions in Wall Street.

The New York circular Of Henry Clews says:
-'One Of the most important considerations
Just now is the course Of the industrials. In
August and September we witnessed a series
Cf annual reports, all Of an unfavorable ma
ture. Reduced earnings have followed lower
prices for products, and it is very evident that
the era Of abnormal industrial profits is on the
wane. New competition is also slowly but
surely making the burden of over-capitaliza-
tion felt. The developments in Amalgamated
Copper acted decisively against the entire mar
ket Fortunately the United States Steel Cor
pOration took the public into its confidence and
made excellent showing to earnings,
which removed an important element Of doubt.
The management deserve commentator for
their courage as well as sagacity. A policy Of
secretiVeness such as is followed by most of
the industriais inevitably provokes distrust. and

those alone that fail to give reliable infOrma-

fluctuations and that their course will be large

is still in good condition and the outlook is
Tor good fall and winter trade; nevertheless.
the industrials are weak feature and VIII
licity regarding their affairs will probably be
sharply Disseminated against.
At this time Of unsettled values it is well

The monetary outlook is somewhat clearer

anNieties.
''The immediate future Of the stock market
is indefinite. No bull movement is vet in sight
and bearish sentiment seems TO predoninate- in
spite OF the fact that the big Interests seem
opposed to all pronounced declines. The situa-
ti0n therefore offers excellent trading oppor-
tlinities; good stocks being a purchase on all

EASTERN MARKETS.
Ne7U York Stock Market.

NEW YORK Oct. 9.-The same doubt and
hesitation regarding the future course of prices
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 any change of as much as point, even
where the days range was considerable. The
disposition to close up contracts both on
the long and short side until the future course
of prices outlines itself more definitely. This
tendency was demonstrated in the response Of
Brooklyn Transit and of Atchson to the specific
developments affecting them. The annual re-
port of Brooklyn Transit which was published
after the close of the market last night was
interpreted unfavorably in all the current COM
ment. especially in the disclosure that the
treasury bonds had been sold during the year
Yet the stock promptly advanced and resisted
an attempt on the part Of the professional
traders to depress the price. The stock ad-
spicuous strength in the market. The increase
in the Atchison dividend rate although con-
n0ently predicted in some quarters, had been
denied with equal confidence in others. In fact
the decision seems to have been discussed and
finally decided in the meeting Itself of the
directors. Ihe attempt to advance the stock
on the announcement proved abortive the ex-
treme rise over last night reaching less than
a point 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
year 5 wheat crop in an agricultural periodical,
placing it at record figure of 100 600 0O0 bushels
lor Kansas alone was an opportune offset to
this contention. The election of an additional
STANDARD OIL representative to the Union Pa
cine beard OF directors a Verihcation of
another bull prediction. But the bull party
hesitated 10 take up the speculation for an
advance owing TO the danger that money fur
ries may still intervene before the interior
movement of currency terminates Sterling ex-
