STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Confused and Unsettled Condition Due
 10 Many Cross Currents.

New York, oct 23,-There were many cross currents in the movement of stock quotations today but none of them was very wide, The tone was unsettled and confused in consequence. In the handful of prominent stocks, which have been the leaders of the market throughout the summer, 1t was rather obvious that the price move mcnt was restrained by encountcring orders opposed to the movement before it had run far An advance in the price attracted selling pressure, while any recession brought in buying orders sufficient to check the decline. The sell. ing developed each time at about the price where dealings yesterday left off
 Such a movement suggests the feeding out of stock to take profits, with care full support asserted when the selling makes any impression on the price. lt was particularly, notable in the two Hartman Pacific St. Paul, the two Hill railroads and Reading It was the cause of the final decline and weak closing At the samo time some posi- tive strength at other points served as sustaining force against the current of the profit taking The copper indus trials were d prominent instance, This group, including the mining and smelt- ing stocks, was helped by the news from the copper metal market Prices were advanced again at the New York metal exchange and it was reported that something like excitement was be- ginning to be shown In the buying hS

wall street was full of dispatches from Chicago that Nice-President Brown of the New York Central was giving out statements that the advance in railway freight rates would be made after election, if Taft were successful. This was not accepted as an altogether tactful contribution to Mir Taft's cam paign. It is quite possible for finan- cial and industrial insiders to over do this sort of thing in their zeal If the democratic party orators have any real intelligence, they could use half dozen of these recent statements as an admission by their opponents that Taft's election would bring about an Immediate rise lin the cost of living

For two weeks, up to last Friday. our export of wheat and four has been progressively decreasing; this after noon's figures on the present weeks outgo showed renewal of the heavy movement We sent out 6,400,000 bushels In the week ending October 1, and only 100000 last week; this week 6100,000 went out, which breaks all records for this week since 1902, Ap- parently, this increased export means that wheat which had accumulated at receiving points Is now being hurried out. for interior receipts from the farms are still decreasing rapidly. For the pesent week to date, such deliver ies have been 6,400000 bushels against 7.5O0,000 a week ago 94OO,0G0 two weeks ago, 10,1000OO three weeks ago, and 100000 four weeks ago, when the movement was at its maximum.

On the Stock Exchange, the real break in prices, which occurred only in the last half hour of business, was promptly attributed to reports that a morning newspaper would today pub lish damaging attack on the republi- can vice presidential candidate. Some explanation Is always necessary in a sudden break and one is as good as another The incident served, however, to remind Wall street of the old time ''roorbacks" which used to agitate 1t, a few days before election The real ex- plantation of the break was that pro- fesional bear operators. who had been testing the market at intervals all day, and had apparently found the originators of the recent advance not anxious to take any more stocks. took a hand aggressively.
