STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Oct. 2.-The stock mar
ket made good Roadway to-day against
the public announcement of the fnan-
cia1 enlbarrassments in Baltimore. This
news caused a rather feverish tone in
the early dealings, and evidence of
some liquidation was assigned as a re-
suit. For the most part it was be-
lieved that the public announcement
served to explain some past events in
the market rather than to threaten fu-
ture results.
Some of the stocks which have been
weakest during the past week and sub
ject to recurrent liquidation are now
known to have been sold by local
banking house which held them as
collateral for loans to the embarrassed
houses.
The recent mood of Wall street has
been so fearful of mysteries and so
prone to exaggerate them that explicit
information even of an unfaVora BILE
chara cter is rather welcomed. Profess
sional traders are inclined to buy
market when bad news is out. AS the
day progressed it became manifest that
there was no acute pressure of stocks
and on the contrary a well defined
party of professional operators were
Inclined to buy, Commission houses
also reported some slight demand from
outside sources. There were some very
heavy blocks of United States Steel
bonds. marketed which could hardly
have been other than syndicate hold
ings, but there seemed a good demand
at the same time Tor the preferred
stock. The inference was drawn that
arbitrage operations between the two
securities had been resumed by the
extended syndicate.
The report of a strong bank return
helped the late market, indications
pointing to a gain in cash by the banks
Of 81, 500 900 to $2000,0 0O 1t is evident
that the principal movement of cur
rency is still to the cotton region and
exchange at Western points fails to
show prospect of an early demand from
that quarter. A sharp drop of over a
point in St. Paul just before the close
with an immediate fractional rally had
the appearance of bear drive. but it
unsettled the closing and made it ir-
regular.
The bond market was still made up
largely of United States Steel IS, but
the tone was pretty firm. Total sales,
par value $5,4S5, 900. United States IS
coupon advanced y per cent. on the
last call.
Total sales of stocks to-day were
769,5O0 shares, including: Atchson, S.

Mr.. ]. J. Rauers added a fine launch,
the Joanna, to the fleet of local pleas
ure craft yesterday. She was brought
down by the inside route from Morris
Heights, n. Y, where she was built for
her owner. The Joanna is a beautiful
craft, and admirably adapted for serv-
ice in inland waters, though on the trip
down a part of the way she showed sea-
worthiness. She is 81 feet long, and
draws 3 feet which will enable her to
navigate in most of the streams here
about. She speeds twelve miles an
hour. Mr.. Rauers will use the Joanna
largely in going to and from St Gather
ines Island.
The sail tonnage situation is without
change. Long voyage vessels offer, and
upon somewhat easier terms, but the
demand is very limited, the general
cargo and case oil shippers being COW
cred for the time, says the New York
Journal of Commerce. Barrel oil and
naval store freights continue dull Lum-
Der tonnage to South America continues
in moderate demand, with rates steady
West India freights remain quiet. IN
coasting lumber tonnage there Is Lllle
doing, though vessels are not urged at
any concession from recent rates. The
Eastern coal trade continues duh.
Steamer treights are quiet due In some
measure to the scarcity of prompt
boats. The demand is yet chiefly for
tonnage to load at Southern ports,
though shippers are opposed somewhat
to the views entertained by owners for
boats in prospect. Grain freiRhts from
the Atlantic range continue dull, with
rates entirely nominal.

1t afforded sure means of unloading
burdens and placing them in a safe
receptacle where they could be dealt
out to the public when public demand
was most favorable.
So certain were the Morgan-Hill
contingent of the legality of their
plan that their confidence had been
communicated to other merger mag
mates, and the formation of several
securities holding companies awaited
the decision of the courts. 1t has
been stated that the Gould lines were
about to be merged in a similar cor
poration; that the Pennsylvania and
New York Central and their allied
companies would go into holdings
company, and that the Hartman
group would be financed in the same
way. The Rock Island company of
New Jersey, with it's $125,000,000 cap
