STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York Oct. 12.-The stock market
spent bad half day to-day up to noon.
but during the latter part of the day
little better spirit showed itself and
there was some recovery. There was a
veritsble slaughter of values amongst
the industrials during the morning, and
it was very evident that the disfavor
caused by the developments last week
in the United States Shipbuilding re-
ownership case, was still an active
force in the market.
Industrial stocks were sold at violent
declines without apparent discrimna-
ton. lust as they were bought during
the period of prosperity in the stock
promotion process.
1t is not to be supposed that all of
the present sellers of these securities
have received their first enlightenment
from the. shipbuilding muddle of the
processes employed in the promotion,
underwriting and fiotation of industrial
stocks during the last few years. Over
capitalization, generalization of con-
stituent companies and market manip-
ulation by managers for inside pools
have been flagrantly in evidence and
have been persstently pointed out
from the outset of the present era of
expansion But 1t was evident that the
speculative public was not being de-
tered from buying the stocks by these
disclosures. Now, on the contrary, 1t
is evident that the speculative public is
paying exaggerated Importance to every
suggestion in this direction, while 1t
seems a warrantable presumption that
the investing class in a state of disgust
which turns them from an considera-
ton of the industrial stocks. Promo
ton deals which have been held up in a
state of partial consumption with the
hope of later completion, are. now re-
garded as hopeless failures, adding to
the pang of sacrifice of other securities
to protect them.
The early stock market suffered ad-
ditional depression in response to Lon
don selling on account of the acute
stage reached in the dispute between
Russia and Japan.
The prevailing state of mind over the
market had its greatest effect upon
the United States Steel stocks and both
of these touched new low records to-
day, the common selling at 1212 and
the preferred at 57h. The bonds were
somewhat better supported. The list
of losses in the industrial department
running from 2 to ~ points is too long
to recapitulate here. number Of in
active railroad stocks also suffered Sc
verely. The closing was about steady
and slightly below the best.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales
par value, $3,056,00 United States
bonds were unchanged on the last call
The total sales of stocks to-day were

NAVAL STORES.

Monday, Oct. IL.
SP1RITS-The turpentine market
gave little assurance of a maintenance
of the price around it's present level
and doubts were expressed about il
holding its own unless the demand i'm
proves The current understanding
was not that trading was done at a
lower than the official closing price
though this may have been due to the
apparent light demand that existed.
The opening was steady at 561sc, sales
81 casks, and the closing steady at SIC
sales 270 casks. At no time was there
any snap in the demand, and buyers
seemed to be giving the market a wide
berth. Among factors no uneasiness
was expressed, however, and nowhere
was the prevailing dizziness regarded as
forecasting any material break. This
crop is not understood to be a large
one, and the fact that everything points
to production well within the bounds of
consumption is assuring enough to
friends of the market. The receipts
were 466 casks, and the exports none.
ROSINS-The rosin market was
yielding to-day. The opening was with
nothing doing" at the prices below,
and the closing the same, with no sales
officially reported. After the closing
sales of l and above were made 25c be-
low quotations. 1t was not understood
that all factors sold out. The demand
for rosins does not point to any special
grades at the moment, though pales
continue in favor. and can be used at
all times. The receipts were 1,911 bar
rels, and the. exports 1000 barrels.
Prices as follows:

in Wall street and the threatening as

against purchases, however and the
steadier tone was soon lost, prices de-

when towards the end of the session
there was considerable covering, said

factor in the late advance was the

tinued rains and frosts in the cotton
belt, the colder weather being indi-
Gated for Western Texas. Port re-
ceipts for the day turned out only
1856 bales, against 56,374 last year.
Some October notices were reported
to be in circulation, but were not in
sufficient volume to prove a market
influence. Private crop advices con-
tinued of a bullish average.

Crop news continue anything but en-
couraging to those who have been ex-
peeting d bumper crop. Affairs in Wall
street are not too encouraging just
now, but nevertheless. there is enough
in the cotton situation statistically to
make buying tempting. Wall street
was unsettled and this prompted eau

Texas, and this restricted selling. Ca
