STOCKS DECLINE
 IN LIVELY MARKET Fluctuations Are Wild Under Influence Of War Scare BULLISH FACTORS LOST Strength of Railroad Shares, Particu- arly of the Hill Issues, Helps To
 Uphold Prices Somewhat
 Before the Close.

New York, October 5.-Prices of stocks fiuctuated wildly today and showed the hnsettling of strong conflicting forces. On the one hand was the acute crises devel- pped in the near eastern questions and pn the other the tonic effect of the strik- Ing upward movement in the Hill railroad stocks. It was noticeable that while prices recovered readily from the opening break caused by the Bulgarian war pros pect there was much more hesitation in following the further recovery over the Saturday level in sympathy with the strength in the Hills and weakness was renewed at the last. This was partly as- rribed to the individual causes supposed to be back of the Hill movement which, t was feared, might leave the general list unresponsive.
 The Northern Pacific melon cutting tumors were revived in full force and were responsible for the buoyant rise in that stock and in Great Britain pre- rerred.. These rumors have been so often heard before in the stock market and so often failed of confirmation that they are accepted with reserve, although assertions of the intended disbursement of an extra dividend on Northern Pacific before the tnd of the yeAr were very positive. The knowledge that tomorrow is the date for the annual meeting of the Northern Pa rife stockholders helped to give credit to the stories of early developments
 These rumors were supplemented by re- newal of reports that a segregation or Union Pacific assets was in prospect, with distribution to stockholders of shares in B holding company This combination was an exact reproduction of rumors heard through the summer in connection with the rise in stocks, but which were dropped suddenly out of consideration when E. H. Hartman returned from the west, and prices slumped in the stock market The flavor of renovation about them deprived them of some of their torce. The analogy was carried further by taking on the rumors of important Hartman plans concerning the Erie. The general list was growingly unrespon- Bive to this stimulant and finally broke badly again. The late reaction owed something also to the fear of further effects from the Balkan outbreak.
 The small effect of the European news pn the local markets was partly due to

Huhhard aros. & co.,s Letter.

New York, October 5-(Special.)- Again the decline has come from com plications in Europe where the polltlcal troubles in the Balkans have increased the depression in Great Britain anu created further uncertainty In contl- mental business circles. That the treaty of Berlin should be violated is indeed serious matter.
 Our market however, for some time did reflect that uncertainty abroad. anc 1t was not until selling against south ern purchases made itself felt that the market slowly drifted to the low point at the close. We expect our American spinners will continue to buy slowly on a scale down. They will be likely to do so in order to obtain the better grades. As for speculation it is at 2 minimum, and we miss the investment demand which in other years bought cotton as it declined.

a belief that a way would be found through diplomacy for an adjustment or the questions at issue between the pow CTS, leaving the immediate armed con f1ict restricted to Bulgaria and Turkey. In addition to this opinion there was feeling that the harm to come to Ameri- can securities even in the event of a European war might be small. A cur tailment in the market for cotton might be supposed and the weakness In the cot ton prices was a reflection of this. On the other hand, quicsened demand Tor our breadstuffs could be assumed. The effect of this assumption on the price of wheat was offset by the news of the heavy movement of grain to markets and favorable crop news.
