STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 17.-Yesterday's sharp
recovery in prices brought in a large
number of buying orders this morning,
and the stock market was very active
during the first hour. By the end of
that time, it became very evident from
the narrow movement of prices that
the demand was being freely fed to
take profits on yesterdays rise. The
bears thereupon became less solicitous
to cover their short contracts and
ceased to bully. The sellers allowed
prices to slip back to about last nights
close, at which point there was a mark
ed decrease in the volume of business,
with the movement of the market
brought practically to a standstill.
The market for the rest of the day
was somewhat hestating and irregu-
lar. An advance of about a point in
Amalgamated Copper, United States
Steel preferred and Union Pacific had
a reassuring effect and steadied the
market, but failed to lift it to a ma
terially higher level, A number of the
industrials which had suffered violent
losses during the week made sharp re-
covery, and the high-priced coalers
were marked UP several points at a
time on the protested confidence that
Accommodations of steam sizes of anthra-
cite are being worked off.
The bank statement was regarded as

loans is a satisfactory development, and
the small decline in cash reserves in
face of the apparent gain by the banks
on the weekly currency movement is
attributed to possible Withdrawals by
the trust companies. The market did
not hold and closed easy, but dull The
weeks decrease in bank clearings
phia and Boston. due, apparently to
the decline in speculation, while the
average for the rest of the country
shows an increase over last year. I'M
ports of merchandise at New York for
the week show a decrease OF 1892, 600
from last week, and of $1624,O00 from
the corresponding week of last year. AS
bearing on the exchange situation, this
showing marks an increase of our
power to draw on foreign centers for
money needs.
The railroad bond market has not
been active at the Stock Exchange, but
prices have been fairly well maintained,
and banks and bond houses report
rather better business over the country,
with some evidence Of growing in
vestment demand. United States bonds
on call have been unchanged.

firm grip upon the Cote factory. The
wind was blowing half gale at the
Gime, and the buildings in the i'm.

as to fall easy prey to the flames.
The burned district is practically the
same as that destroyed in 1876. The
river Yamasaka flows through the town
in the shape of a letter V. st. Antoine
street runs along the top of the ' and
practically everything south OF that
street was burned.

AVERAGE CORN CROP.
Little Damage Done by the Recent
Frost

TJOSIs
Chicago, Sept. 19.-The corn crop
has not been as seriously damaged by
the fall in temperature as was gen
orally anticipated, judging by the re-
ports from cities of the agricultural
district. Reports from Topeka, Des
Moines, Omaha, Kansas City, st. Paul
and other points indicate either very
light frost or an entire escape for the
present.
The temperature is rising generally
throughout the Northwest. Some rain
has occurred in the district lying east
of this section and in portions of the
lake region. In the Northwest it is
generally clear.
The general indications are for a
period of warmer weather and at least
an average crop of corn.
In some few places heavy frost
has done serious damage to the crops,
especially in the neighborhood Of Pc
oria, Dubuque and Madison, Wis.
