Passing Of Week Without Any
Gold Exports Had Effect
On Speculation.
METAL GROUP ADVANCED.
Today's Dealings We're Light, Price

Small.

New York, Oct. 24.-The stirring or
the speculation this week has been
avowedly based on the approach of the
national settlement and the belief that
relief from depression of business anu
industrial activity is to follow q
variety or uncontirmed rumors OF com
ing financial developments concerning
Southern Pacific and Northern Pacific
testified to the professional character OF
much of the activity. The passing, OF
the week without the expected outgo
of gold had some effect on the specuta.-
ton. Improved demand for copper and
some orders from the railroads for
equipment helped the metal group. Iitt
influence of the foreign political situa-
ton subsidized largely.
Dealings in stocks at the opening to-
day We're very light and price changes
had little Significance. Union PACING
and Analgamated Copper gained a
substantial fraction and st. Paul de-
clned &c. These were the most con-
spcuous changes.
Business was too small to alter prices
much, the market ruling at about the
opening prices. Some realizing in
Reading affected prices momentarily,
but they hardened again when Southern
Pacific developed strength.
The market closed about steady anu
dull. Interest in the automobile cup
race diverted attention from the stock
market, and dealings were seanty.
American Car, Westinghouse Electric

In the general list the small gains
We're mostly included. Lake Erie and

ATLANTIC CITY GOLF
TOURNEY UNDER WAY

ATLANTIC CITY. May 1.-The annual
spring tournament Of the Country Club of
Atlantic City was commenced here yes
terday morning under favorable weather
conditions. but at $3.50 in the afternoon a
terrific rain and wind storm swept over
the ground and made playing for those
who were unfortunate enough to be out
in 1t extremely diHicult, and 1t caused no
surprise when several of the contestants
gave up in disgust.
The feature Of the days play was the
wonderfully fine golf shown by Walter j.
Travis, a former American and English
amateur champion. Considering the
strong wind that was blowing his total of
150 for the thirty-six holes was truly
wonderful and enabled him to capture
the gold medal for the lowest score. four
strokes better than Findlay Douglas.
Jerome Travers also did we'll with 1877.
