HOW IT STARTED.
A Street Riot Grew Into a Successful
Revolution.

Madrid, Oct. 6.-More detailed &C
counts of the revolutionary uprising in
Lisbon are reaching this city. They
indicate that the outbreak was more
or less spontaneous. The revolution
seems to have begun in a series of
street rows, the rumOr having been
circulated that the death of Professor
Bombarda was due to political machin-
ations. Their rioting unsuppressd, the
mob tried to break into several of the
public buildings. The police resisted
Intellectually. A priest who endeavored
to resist the mob was thrown into a
pond. The riot began to assume the
proportions of revolution
The municipal guard was called
upon to help the police and sailed out
under arms. Then the people in the
streets went to the barracks to acclaim
their revolution. Many of the soldiers
fraternized with them and forthwith
the First regiment revolted openly. fol-
lowed shortly by the Thirteenth of
which the king of Spain is honorary
colonel. Certain officers of the Thir-
tenth regiment tried to cheek the SOL
diers. but fell riddled with bullets.
The Fifth regiment Of the line and
the First regiment of Chasseurs fol-
lowed suit and at the same time out
in the harbor the admiral of the fleet
hoisted the flag of the republic to the
peak of his flagship and saluted ii with
the WarShipS' guns. The fighting has
been incesSant ever since.

New York stock Market.

Wall St. New York. Oct 6.-STOCKS-
There was an irregular advance in prices
of stocks in the opening dealings today
which were in very scanty volume. The
leading railroad stocks made a good show
of strength and there were points of
strength also in the metal industriaIs
Canadian Pacific rose ~, American Sugar
l and Union Pacific, Reading, Northern
Pacific, G. and o. and Utah Copper sub
stantial fractions.
The opening advances were retained only
for few minutes active selling sending
down {. and Q. over a point from its
high price and forcing the rest of the list
back to yesterdays closing, Pittsburg
Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis, Rock
Island preferred and American Smelling
preferred, losing a point. A slow recov-
cry set in later which was helped by the
bidding up of the local traction stocks
American Telegraph and Gable Az and Pa
cific Telephone 2
The impression of yesterdays weakness
remained in the morning market The
speculation lacked initiative and prices
were left suspended near yesterdays clos
ing level
The attention was given to specialties
General Electric advanced IL and N P
and American Wooden I. st. Paul. Ameri-
can Locomotive preferred and Pittsburg
Coal preferred declined 1 and Wabash pre-
ferred / Prices were hardening at noon
Bonds steady.
Business fell to nominal proportions and
up 13s and Southern Pacific, Erie first
preferred and Tennessee Copper l. West
inghouse Electric first preferred broke
324 despite the strength of the common
stock. Distllers' securities also declined
a point.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-WHEAT-With wheat
shipments from Argentina reaching $50, 600
bushels this week against only - 600
bushels year ago the scare about a
marked extent today. Dispatches from
there referred to dryness and to fear of
1roStS and locuStS and were sufficient to
cause some scattered commission buying
but leading spectators soon took the SELL
ing side. acting on assertions of some cor
respondents that although the situation
was threatening, no actual damage had
yet been done. The opening was I'M
changed to Hd9sc higher with December
90Ac to 99c, a gain of a shade to 14@3sc
In later trading there a decline to
9Sl4@9S$4c.
After some further decline news of a
few export orders and of a continuance
of dry. hot weather in Argentina caused
a rally to above last nights prices. The
close. however, was weak with December
at 9S1sQ9S c, a net loss of 12c.
CORN-Corn was poorly supported. 1t
looked as though the short interest had
been largely eliminated. December started
1sQAc to h@$sc down at 5o1sc to 5014c
and fell to 1890.
CORN-Bearish estimates of the crop
yield depressed prices, but the market
rallied on improved shipping call and on
close was weak with December at 1850
1910, a net loss of &c.
OATS-The oats pit seemed bare of buy
ers. December opened 1sc to Nc off at
331s 6D33Ac and dropped to 32S4 M327sc.
ROVISIONS-ShortS were active pur-
chasers of nearby deliveries of hog pro-
ducts and made the market firm. First
