The promi- nance amongst the industrial stocks associated with the iron and steel trades is notable Amongst the rail- roads Pennsylvania is always affected by sympathy with this group of in- dustrials. Hopeful views were held of the showing to be made by the quar- terly report of the United States Steel corporation, but as 1t was known that this would not be published until after the close of the stock exchange session the effect of the report was not look ed for in the stock market. Some of the dullness was due to this fact.

DEMAND NOT VERY STRONG

New York, October 27.-The occur rences of the stock exchange today offer little material for chronicle. The char acteristic of the market was its great firmness, in spite of it's intense dull ness. The rate of activity declined at times during the session to the point or idleness. The first hour supplied most of the activity, and most of the move ment. Some of the buying at that time came from professional traders who had sold stocks short on the as- sumption that the political demonstra- tions last night would weaken stocks today. The assumption was based on the analogy of previous appearances of MT. Bryan in New York in the course of political campaigns which in- duced some subsequent liquidation of securities. There was such selling to- day, and the little demand was suf- ficient to send prices upward. There was no sign of any large accumulation of stocks, but resolute withholding of offerings for sale was very appar- ent.
 The action of the market suggested a determination of the speculative lead ership to stand by and await the out come of the election and what is to follow. There is diversity of opinion over this question of what is to fol- low the elections, quite apart from what their outcome may be. It is not apparent how far political speculative holders may be inclined to dispose of their holdings at the current level of prices as there is not sufficient out side demand to take over these hold ings offered. The future of the mar ket, it is recognized, hinges on the suffciencY of the demand stimulated after the elections to absorb profit taking sales. No such sales were at tempted today and the result in prices, slight as it was, served to bring the market to the highest point it has touched since the reaction early in September This reaction followed the Maine election and the denial by D. H. Hartman and James J. Hill of many rumors which had been kept in circu- lation with regard to the properties with which they are connected with marked effect in carrying prices to the

TOP FIGURES ARE TOUCHED

New York, October 27.-The cotton mar ket was firmer today with active months selling back to within 1 to points of the high records of last week and closing steady at a net advance of to Il points. Sales were estimated at 225.0OO bales.
 The market opened steady with October unchanged, but generally to points higher in response to better cables than expected, and rumors that a settlement of the Manchester trouble might result from the meeting of operatives next Sat- urday. There was considerable realizing and southern hedge selling on the initial advance, but offerings were well absorbed and October quickly frmed up with the rest of the list on covering by shorts in spite of rumors that notices would be issued for a considerable amount next Thursday. The market continued very steady during the afternoon with active months closing only point or two off from the best.
 Wall street was not quite so aggressive buyer as recently, but supported the the market on soft spots while the rel ative firmness in the latter position sug- gested that the commission houses were re-entering the market in the spring and summer deliveries Southern spot markets officially reported were unchanged to Ho lower. Local spot buyers reported a less active demand from mills but said there was little change in offerings from the interior.
 Receipts at ports today 9O,7l3 bales. against 1O45s7 last week and 76SS5 last year. For the week 49O,oO0 bales, against 415.9 .969 last week and 345. .5S7 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans IS, 4S7 bales, against 14,623 last year, and at Houston 40,394 bales, against 15,747 last year.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York, October 7.-(Special 1.-The market was remarkably steady and on moderate business advanced and held prices at the higher figures. Evidently the trade had been somewhat oversold. No new business has appeared nor IS there any increased legitimate demand to Justify the improvement. Frost is not yet a material factor and business shows no special improvement. Politics are an element in checking business-at least sentimentally-and the Improvement may properly be attributed to local rather than to general conditions. On the ginners' report a bearish feeling was created which short covering offset; the trade be- lieving in large crop, with sluggish business conditions, had anticipated the pressure of receipts and the demand to cover has held and still holds prices
