STOCK MARKET IS
 QUIETLY CHEERFUL But Active Expression By Buy
 ing is Restrained PLAYING WAITING GAME Those In Control of the Market Seem Content to Hold Steady Until After
 the End of the Presidential
 Campaign Next Month.
PLAYING WAITING GAME

New York, October 26.-Sentiment in the stock market today was quietly cheerful but it's active expression by buying of stocks was restrained. This seemed to be in accord with the de- sires of the controlling forces in the market It is quite universally be- lieved in the, financial district that skillful and organized support of the market is exercised under the direc- tion and behalf of the groups in order to protect values of securities accumu- lated at various times since the panic and now held, according to the popu- lar assumption in Wall street, in enormous volume.
 The large supplies of money procura- ble on call at low rates afford the facilities for the protection of this position. There is small disposition to assail 1t on the part of any formida ble professional element owing to the small inducement to liquidation in the progress of business affairs. But witl the last week of the political cam paign entered upon and the general assumption that the passing of the general elections is to be the signal for awakened public buying of stocks, the supporters of the market are con- tent apparently to hold prices and await the outcome.
 The prospect of the whirlwind polit- ical activity in contemplation for the week. and at the doors of Wall street, was additional motive toward conserv- atism. The dealings fell at one time nearly to the point of idleness. An influential incident was 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 mar ket throughout the summer and much attention is paid to it by those seeking to read the intentions of the market supporters. This is due in part to the close affiliations of the group of cap italists believed to be the managing leaders of the market with the copper industry.
 Speculation and manipulation in the copper market went hand in hand with

DULLNESS IN WHEAT MARKET Prices More Within Narrow
 Range PROVISIONS ARE FIRM Trading In the Pit Is Light All Day. Price Fluctuations Are Confined
 In Iac Ranee-Live
 Hogs Advance.

Chicago, October 26.-Extreme dullness characterized trading in the wheat pit on the local exchange today and prices moved within narrow range. Final quotations were unchanged to lsQAc high CT compared with Saturdays close. Corn and oats were steady and provisions firm.
 Trade in the wheat pit was exceeding ly light all day and price fluctuations were confined within 1ac range There was little frmness manifested at the start owing to a moderate advance at Liverpool, but before the end of the first half hour sentiment had become bearish and this heavy tone predominated throughout the greater part of the ses- sion. Additional rains in the winter wheat belt were the most influential factor of the day. The continued liberal move ment in the northwest was also an im- portant influence. Advices were re- ceived from Argentina claiming frosts in that country Saturday night, but the failure of European grain markets to show any excitement caused traders to minimize the possible damage to grow ing wheat.
 Worlds shipments for the week were less than what had been generally ex- 712OO0 the previous week. The visible supply of wheat in the United States and Canada showed an increase of 3,137,eJ bushels for the week, against a decrease of s62,OOO the corresponding week year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 112S cars, against 1196 last week, and s67 a year ago.
 Wet weather had a strengthening eff feet on the corn market, especially for the December delivery, but prices showed only slight gains Cash corn at the sam pie tables was from 1c to Sc lower. Several leading interests were sellers of distant futures nearly all day. The mar ket closed steady with prices unchanged to hc lower, with December at 631hc. Local receipts. 96 cars; 33 contract grade.
 Trade in oats was dull and prices fiuc- tuated within Ac range Cash oats at the sample tables was steady to 1sc lower. Commission houses were the principal buyers. At the close prices were shade to Ac higher. Local receipts, 227 cars.
 Provisions opened active and strong, owing to a 10c advance in live hogs Trade became much quieter later in the day and sentiment was less bullish, al- though prices held at moderate aver ages throughout the entire session. At the close prices were 71kQ271zQS0c higher.
 Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat, 142 cars; corn, 145 cars oats, 216 cars; hogs, 1S,000 head.

aIes. High. Low. Close

the same thing in the stock market through the summer. United States Steel was notably firm also, and there were reports put in circulation of the favor able character of the quarterly report to be published tomorrow, and of a rising demand from consumers of iron and steel. A stiffening influence was thus disseminated quite extensively through the industrial list. The liar riman Pacifics resumed the leadership of the railroad department and North = ern Pacific made brisk recovery from the pressure of realizing sales which held 1t down last week.
 The September statemnet of earn ings of the Atchison system explained the recent strength of that stock in the marked decline in gross earnings compared with last year, while the curtailment of expenditures was so eff fective as to aid substantially in the net return for the month. Railroad triffic managers in general spoke in terms of encouragement over the growth of traffic. The better compari- sons of gross earnings of railroads which are coming latest to hand, are the better evidences of the improve ment going on since the level of gross earnings last year with which they compare still held unprecedentedly high. The support of prices got no as- sistance from foreign sources, as mar kets abroad were inclined to depres- sion.
 London finances are disturbed by the continued requisition of Paris on that center for gold and a possible advance in the Bank of England discount rate came under discussion today. There was renewed uneasiness also over tile Balkan situation.% The near eastern question, however, seems to have lost its influence on the New York stock market. s-*
 Bonds were irregular, total sales, par value, $2,972,000. United States bonds were unchanged.

 Street Bulls Buy.
TRADING OPENS STEADY

New York, October 26.-The cotton market was irregular today and closed steady at net advance of 1 point on January but generally net un- changed to points lower. Sales were estimated at 275,O0O bales
 The market opened steady unchanged to points lower owing to indifferent cables and the report of the census bureau, showing 6,2S3,7S9 bales ginned to October IS. or little more than has been generally anticipated. Wall street bulls who had taken profits last week became heavy buyers at the de- cline, the market, however, soon rallied and during the middle session was about 1 to ' points net higher with January relatively firm. Later prices reacted under realizing and local bear pres sure, but offerings were well enough absorbed on a scale down to impart steadiness. Consideration of the cen sus appeared to draw local opinions of the crop no closer together, some claiming that over 50 per cent of the total had been ginned and that the yield would be under 12,000.O00 bales, while others contended that these fig ures reflected a crop of over 13, ,000, ,0OO bales. Local spot people said that New England mills were under the mark tt and that little business was being done in consequence. There was some southern selling here during the day, presumably in the way of hedges.
 Receipts at the ports today, 619O4 bales, against 64,145 last week. and 52,S51 last year. For the week 430 900, against 415,369 last week and 343537 last year. At New Orleans, 14,385, against 11,766 last year. and at Hous- ton, 20,O54 bales, against 9417 last year.

Hubbard Bros. & Co.'s Letter.

New York. October 26-(Special.) )-In the opinion of the trade the bureau report of the ginners issued today (6.2S6,3 360 bales) is without significance beyond showing that the season has favored picking, gn- ming and marketing. As to the eventful crop it may indicate anything. Figures of the past are believed to be misap- piled when used as Illustrative of re- suits, a confusion of facts The market received the report with indifference, as showing the average of opinion, and it eased immediately after the opening. Wall street buying soon appeared while prices appeared to be yielding, and on this demand an advance resulted, but so far as could be seen, from no other cause. General business continues small and the belief In a large yield outweighs the effect of the temporary buying.
