NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-There was a
rather remarkable demonstration of spec

and specialties today which was of doubt
ful effect on sentiment towards the mar
ket. The railroad stocks were allowed
meanwhile to lie practically fallow The
market ma had an appearances of breadth

gregate transactions shows that an active

which also enjoyed the advantage of the
more liberal OUTLAWS BY railroads. It was
only in few cases that specific trade

was that stocks of this class have not
hitherto shared in the prolonged advance
in railroad stocks, although, the latter
movement was savewedly' ba se<ss on improv-
ed general trade and industrial conditions
which should increase the values of all
securities. But such a stirring up of long

health OF the market as showing the eX-
