RECORDS BROKEN
ON STOCK MARKET
Trading in Union Pacific Was
Enormous
100000 SHARES ARE SOLD
These Astonishing Occurrences Were
Central Facts From Which All
others RadIated During
the Day.
100000 SHARES ARE SOLD

New York October 25.-Union Pacific
sold as high as liz today and the aggre-
gate dealings in that stock footed up $780,
800 shares. The astonishing occurrences
ware the central facts from which all
others radiated and there is little left to
say of the market, except In terms OF
wonder at its dimensions and Its erratic
variety. The final break was from a
rush to take profits on the days enor-
nous trading and on bear raid.
There has never been larger number
of shares of single stock dealt in dur
ing one day than there was today Of
Union Pacific. In fact that stock itself
broke that record on April "a, 1901. when
662.sOO shares were sod on the stock ex-
change. The world now knows that com
petitive buying in retaliation for the eff
fort to control Northern Pacific was the
cause of that titanic struggle in the
open market. On April Is, 1902, there
were s6450O shares of Southern railway
dealt in on the stock exchange pending
the settlement of control of Louisville
and Nashville in the general interest of
the southern railroad field. With these
cific probably form a record.
The published assertion that the re-
tirement of the Oregon short line partici-
pating bonds had been determined on, was
the melting cause of this extraordinary
movement The truth of this report could
not be learned from any Official source
The exact benefits to accrue to Union Pa
cific were not very obvious. Although the
injunction against the payment of divi-
derds on Northern Securities stocks which
forms the collateral for these bonds
makes the payment of interest burden
on Union Pacific, heavy capital require
ments would have to be met to retire
them, and the release of Northern Secur-
tiles stocks would be the only advantage
perceptible.
But 1t was assumed In spite of the en-
phatic official disclaimers that a settle
ment of the Northern Securities dispute,
and a community of interest in the trans
Continental railroad was involved. Inc
buoyant rise in ST. Paul was regarded as
corroborative of this assumption. In the
volatile mood of speculative sentiment
the abundant surmises which could be
built on these assumptions was subject
ed to enormous profit-tak.ng throughout
the day. and the result was constant ir-
regularity, and occasional weakness. The

in the market did not seem to be impaired

eenuity was taxed to pick out new points
for aggressive buying The profit-taking
in low-prieed stocks which were most
conspicuous in yesterdays market, was
very obvious throughout, but was ignored
until late in the day.
The facility with which strength was
maintained at other points in face of this
selling movement, and the small effect
of the gold engagement was pointed to
as further gratifying evidence of the un-

COTTON MARKET
WAS IRREGULAR
Reports of FroStS Cause Ad-
vancing Tendency
BEARS ARE DISAPPOINTED
elnners' Report Showed an Increase
of About As per cent-Market
Generally Steady During
the Afternoon.

New York. October 25-The cotton mar
ket was active and irregular. 1t opened
steady at a decline of 26 points to an
advance of points. Following the call,
it showed an advancing tendency on re-
ports of more or less general and killing
frosts in the eastern belt. But after
some of the smaller shorts had covered,
the anticipation that the ginners report
at midday would furnish basis for bear
ish conclusions, became more impor-
tant factor, and the market declined.
The ginners' report was issued at
o. clock and proved disappointing to the
bears. 1t reported an increase of about
4s per cent, and did not indicate nearly
SO great an increase for the entire belt
as had been expected. The bears took
the ground that the report of the census
had covered too small a proportion Of the
belt to be of any value, but there was
considerable covering after it was issued,
and the market during the afternoon
ruled generally firm. The close was
steady at an advance of 9@1S points. Sales
were estimated at 100000 bales.
Receipts at the ports today, 9S,767 bales,
against $3.50 bales last week, and 1908
last year. For the week, 100000 bales,
against 1893. 800 last week, and 340,021 last
year. Today's receipts at New Orleans,
26,64s bales. against 2O,7SS last year. and

derlying strength of the market. But
when attempts were made to take profits
on the days unwiedy commitments the
vulnerable position of the market devel-
oped, and prices crumbled rapidly. The
days most considerable gains were wiped
out with a rush, and Union Pacific's net
gain proved small. Losses were the rule
running to between l and points, and
even more in many cases.
The closing was decidedly weak and
without recovery. Bear raiding was active
and rumors of further mob violence
against the Russian ambassador in Lon
don proved effective in breaking prices
where former news was ignored The
strong demand for gold from Paris and
Berlin is attributed to preparations for
further loans to Russia.
Bonds were irregular. Total sales, par
value, $11,040,000. United States bonds
