EESTERDAT'S STOCK MARKEF
Advances Again Taken Up-AmaIEa-
 nlated Copper a Feature.

Advances Again Taken Up-AmaIga- mated Copper Feature.
 New York, Nov. 2.-Dispatches from London this morning reported that the
 war panic of yesterday had entirely
 subsided and that there had been no ground for it at any time. The local market seemed to have recovered its equanimity. and after feeding the early demand freely with realizing sales the advance in prices was taken up again. The successive advances which were
 made at different points, however, did not induce much sympathetic response.
 Amalgamated Copper was the feature
 of the speculative trading and its rise to a new high level for the movement
 was accompanied by many rumors of a final settlement of the contest of the Montana Copper interests. Sanguine trade estimates also helped the stock Sugar and United States Steel pre- ferred continued to keep it company, the latter in moderate way. Erie was the feature of the railroad list, and the only news to explain the advance was report that a sale of a block of several millions of it's convertible bonds had been effected. There was no ofi- cial sanction for this report, but rl- imors were circulated of the extensive betterments upon which the proceeds of the bond sale would be immediately laid out. The reported Erie projects
 were help to United States Steel pre- iferred, as were the reports of large
 buying of steel products, including rails by the Burlington. The rise in
 Rock Island and Union Pacific awak- ened little response amongst the other
 grangers and Pacifics. The strength of Smelling and Lead caused revived ru-
 mors of lead merger. The leather stocks enjoyed a period of strength.
 There were other features of minor im- iportance.
