Wall Street.

New York, oct. 26.-Scntiment in
the stock market to-day was quite
cheerful but its active expression by
buying of stocks was restrained. This
seemed to be IN accord With trade de-
sires Of controlling 1orccs IN the mar
kct. With the last week of the po-
litical campaign entered upon amid
the general assumption that the pass
INK of Tie election is to be the sig
nal for awakened public buying OF
stocks the supporters OF the market
are content apparently to hold prices
and await the outcome. The prospect
of the NhirlwiHd political activity in
contemplation for the week ana ut
the doors Of Wall street was an addi-
tional move towards conservatism.
The dealings fell ut times today near
to the point of idlcness and were at
all times dun and %uneventful. An
influential sentiment vas the further
rise in the price Of copper. The
course of the market for this metal
was closely wrapped up with that of
the stock market throughout the
summer ana much attention is paid
to it by those seeking to read the in
tcutions Of the market supporters.
This is due in part to the close anil-
iations Of the group of capitalists be-
licved to be the managing leaders of
the market with the copper industry,
Speculation ana manipulation in the
copper market went hand in hand
with the same thing in the stock mar
kct throughout the summer. United
states steel vas notably firm also and
there were reports put i'm circulation
of the favorable character of the
quarterly report to be published to-
morrow and of a rising demand
among customers of iron and steel.
\ s%tiffening influence vas thus dis
semanatcd quite extensively through
The industrial lists. The Hartman
Pacifics resumed the leadership Of the
railroad list and Northern Pacific
made n brisk recovery from the pres
Surc of realizing sales which held il
down last week. The september state
ment of earnings Of the Atehison sys-
tenn explained the recent strength of
hat stock in the moderate decline i'm

More than Two Million Dollars Worth

Lives Lost and Thous-

Dallas, Texas, May 26.-The
worst flood Dallas has any record of
started unexpectedly about o'clock
Monday morning with a rush of wat
er from the upper tributaries of the
Trinity river where Saturday and
Sunday cloudbursts had visited the
sections around Wichita Falls, Chill
dress, Denton and other places. The
water seemed to rise up in great
bodies from the river bed, as we'll as
to sweep down in great torrents. The
surprised residents of the suburbs
of Dallas and other portions of the
river valley were terror stricken.
Firing of guns and pistols and ex-
plosions of dynamite were resorted
to to give the alarm for aid. City
and county officials and various or
ganizations started in with a will at
the work of rescue. The water rose
to the height of fiftytwo feet, nearly
eleven feet higher than ever before
recorded at the government guage.
More than / 900 houses are inun-
dated in Dallas and 5000 persons
are without shelter. The number of
lives lost is estimated all the way
from twenty to one hundred, and
$2,000,000 worth of property dam
age has been wrought. All railroads
entering Dallas are sufferers, and
traffic is paralyzed Telegraph and
telephone lines to the west and south
have been prostrated or submerged

inch and hour. At I O'clock today
the water was just en- inches be-
low the high vataF mark of Sunday
afternoon. This iatas- rise is believed
to be due to a flood which came out
of West Fork
The Telegram has a special rep
resentative in Dallas, but he has
been unable to ge5 anything to his
paper today from that city. Nothing
has been heard from there since
the arrival of the morning papers
except that the delegates to the state
convention attempted to cross the
river in boat but failed. All tele-
phone and telegraph wires between
here and Dallas are still prostrated
and submerged, but message
reached Fort Worth in round about
way to the effect that the river was
still rising at that point
