ACTIVITY IN STOCK MARKET.
Nearly Million Shares Change Hands
on Change Today.

NEW YORK, October 15.-Transactions
in nearly a million shares Of stocks for the
two hours of the Saturday short session
marked the progress of the revived excite
ment in speculation today. The movement
had no news bearing upon the properties
affected to account for it, but the evidence
that buying was coming from new quarters
and that the interest was spreading to the
so-called public stirred up the excitement
among the customary operators.
1t was the general belief among the board
room frequenters that the direction of the
market had been assumed by combination
of mastery operators who have led great
movements of the past. notably the market
management of the United States Steel flo
tation and the campaign which culmina ted
in the passing Of control of the Louisville
and Nashville Both of those stocks were
very prominent in the market today and
absorbed large proportion of the dealings.
The large buying of Southern Pacific
pointed to similar origin.
1t was expected that the market would
have the advantage of a very heavy in
crease in cash by the banks to be shown
upon the publication Of the bank statement,
but the gain proved to be very moderate.
heavy shrtnkage in the loan account
proved of almost equal benefit to the sur
plus reserve. This prevented any unfavor-
able influence from the bank statement,
and the market developed the greatest ami
nation and buoyancy after the Dank state
ment appeared. Louisville and Nashville
scared by half-point jumps to 1877, and
then dropped back as violently to 1861,
after closing last night at 1905.
Upward of third of the days total
dealings was concentrated in Southern Pa
cific, the United States Steel stocks and
Pennsylvania. Profit-taking sales appear
ed in flood from time to time and caused
prices to waver. Such sales were in large
volume at the closing and caused some
picked stocks were moving most strongly
upward.

Discomfort IN RUSSIA.
Administration Concerned Over the Re
servists' Attitude.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
NEW YORK, October ia cablegram
from London says: The attitude of Eng
lishmen as regards to war now is that
Russia will listen to her best friend, France,
and accept mediation which may bring the
war to an honorable close before the worst
ca taStroDhe occurs.
In seeking reasons for Kuropatkin's dash
forward highly placed European observers
think that a far more urgent cause exists
than any fatal attraction exercised by Port
Arthur. The Russian administration finds
1t imperative to create a general military
situation less repellent to the reservists and
less dishearteniny for the masses.
The reports from the Russian provinces
concur In showing that the feeling disclosed
by recent disturbances among the Russian
reservists seems to be growing more gen.
eral and intense than the European public
has yet understood, with every trainload of
poor fellows taken from their homes and
sent as unwilling sheep to the slaughter for
what to them is an incomprehensible cause.
This feeling has broadened and deepened
until now it is reaching a point which is
causing the gravest embarrassment to the
Russian military authorities. Winter which
will be devoted to the formation Of General
Grlppenburg's army, must be preceded by
some attempt to impart a roster hue to the
military situation in Manchuria
