NEW YORK, Oct. 26-The resiliency dis
played by the leading railway stocks during
the trying period Of the past fortnight has
not only created encouragement and interest
in values among the ranks of the conserva-
tive investors, but at the same time created
a nervousness among the bear following and
caused them to change tactics and prepare
for closer and safer sailing near the finan-
cial shore. The glsr or the weeks confer
ence of the National Bankers Association
which ended Saturday. can be tersely
summed up in the closing words of the pres
idents speech. in which he says there will
be panic in Wall street" The gradual
liquidation has made that impossible espe-
cially as the country at large is i'm SO pros
porous a condition. This statement was
confirmed by many bankers throughout the
West in interviews given for publication
while many agreed that recent bank and
trust failures would. for a time, cause dull
ness in speculative circles. Every failure
could be traced to individual overpromo-
tons, and not in any essential sense endan-
gered or affected the sound and conservative
institutions. A continued demand for bonds
has always preceded an upward movement
in the general stock market and while we
may for some time yet encounter setbacks
and dull and nervous fluctuations, the hand
writing is on the wall, and the shrewd in
vestors read it and interpret it to mean that
stocks are now purchase, and judicious
purchases made the coming week will be
profitable in the near future.

rivals Fall Below Demand.

The cool, bracing air impaired some life
20 trade yesterday. The dry goods houses
had quite a brisk business, and few days
or cool weather will increase their trade
materially. Prices OF dry goods continue
so steady that there is not much induce
ment to retail merchants 10 stock up ahead,
and most of them are buying in n hand-to-
mouth style, but in the aggregate business
so far this month has been In excess of
that OF October of 1902. Wholesale grocer
les is another line In which trade has been
excellent. Large sales OF coffees and other
lines of groceries-sugar excepted-have
been made. The farmers are prosperous
and buy some lines of groceries that here
tofore were hardly within their reach or at
least they so believed. The produce mar
ket Is quite active. 1t is said Indiana poul-
try is sold at lower prices i'm Eastern mar
kets than right here in Indianapolis. Con-
ditions In the egg market are entirely diff
ferent- Receipts are light and there is
already some drawing on cold storage to
supply the market. Choice butter continues
in good request and sells at the best QUO
tations. Flour continues very strong, and
the advance In the price Of wheat OF the last
few days has further strengthened the
market. Indications are that present prices
will prevail for weeks to come. Little is
very active for the season of the year,
which Is due largely 10 the high price of
fresh meats and poultry. Coal is active. All
dealers report their business good Prices
continue the same as since the early part
Of the month The druggists are having

CHICAGO. Oct. 2e.-The wheat market
was embarrassed again by a small specu-
lative trade, and advances were met by
proht-taking. Yet the market closed at a
slight advance over Saturday. There was
quite a break in St. Louis December, and
the shorts there ask for a marginal price.
The country offerings of corn were small.
There was fine weather, and the prediction
was for its continuance for some days.
There was no important trade. There was
a little corn on the market from the pro-
vision interests which have had IL for sale
for so long. Oats were influenced by the
corn weakness, and the cash market was
&c to hc lower. Hogs were sc TO 1Oc
higher and receipts here were but o 600
instead OF the 1000 estimated. There were
1900 hogs West, compared with g. 900 last
wear Average weight of the hogs here
last week, 239 lbs. against 229 last year.
Exports of lard were in excess Of last
wears. but the provision market was easier
There was moderate buying OF January

IA ". Thomson, 1ndianapolis.I
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The stock market
continues to improve. 1t is not active and
the demand is not large, but it shows an
improving tendency and there is little or no
selling pressure. All the gossip and talk from
Wall street indicates that confidence is grad
ually being restored. Money continues easy,
and many are now looking for increase in
funds instead of scarcity. which they feared
q few weeks ago. Investment demand for
bonds Is good, and the market is becoming
bare Of attractive things The stock mar
ket offers many attractive investments in
first-class stocks. 1t will be strange If the
investment demand does not reach the stock
market in the near future. The bears have
questioned the solvency of pretty much ev-
erything and everybody possible, and their
occupation in that line is about gone They
will have to get busy some time soon cover
ing shorts.

Hogs-Receipts, $500: shipments. $50. There
good average Monday of hogs to-day
and nearly as many week ago. while COM
pared with year ago the receipts were nearly
twice as. large. The quality was fairly satisfac-
tory and probably equal to the average repre-
scented at the close OF last week, but there is a
continued scarcity of prime medium 10 heavy
grades. The market little slow in getting
started and il evident that buyers, especial
lily packers, were being influenced by reports from
other places. which were not very favorable to
sellers. Therefore, the bidding was tri1e back
ward and lower, but considering the fact that
packers had very limited opposition from out
side sources, the prices they offered not
really unreasonable. Sellers hesitated in making
any concessions. but were handicapped
count of the lack of competition and were final
ly forced to accept a decline. In general way
the market was reported &c to Zoe lower than
