Stocks and Bonds.

New York Oct 29.--With the eff
fective clearing up of the threatened
international complications a5roaG G.
the speculation in stocks here broke in
TO renewed animation today and the
rise in prices was renewed with as
much animation and assurance as
with the opening of the week. There
was no indication that such a thing
as an Anglo Russian war had ever
threatened and the final prices today
were in some conspicuous cases the
highest of the week and Of the year.
The advance was even more compre-
hensive and more evenly distributed
than in the market of the earlier part
OF the week. Such weakness as was
shown was due to specific causes, ex-
cept for the sudden loss of it's gain by
St. Paul in the final dealings, which
made the close slight yirregular, and
gave the market ar appearance OF a
contest between contending forces to
determine the closing tone. The de-
termined support of the forces behind
the market generally prevailed how
ever. and the closing was very animat-
ed. OF the weak spots in the market
that of Ontario & Western was due to
the doubt thrown upon the earlier con-
ylction that equal terms We're to be
offere d to ma jority and minority hold
ers in the purchase of control The
break in Metropolitan Street Railway
