 Cheerful Sentiment.

New York, Oct. 3.-The more cheer ful sentiment which prevailed all im- portant foreign centers of finance to- day by reason of the change in the Balkan situation, the retention of the Bank of England's per cent. discount rate and the easing of local call and time loans were provocative of a very strong and active stock market. The rise here was forestalled by London, where Americans closed with general gains, the more substantial being scored by the Coppers, Steel, Atchison, Reading, Pennsylvania, St. Paul and Union Pacific.
 All these stocks and numerous others rose from material fractions to two points in this market before noon on a volume of business larger than any attained since the inauguration of the present upward movement. The ad- vance was arrested from time to time, chiefly as result of realizing sales, only to make greater headway later A few of the more potential issues were at their best in the last hour. In addition various specialties advanced one to two points, with a renewed de- mand for the minor Steel shares. Reading. Steel and Amalgamated over shadowed all other issues, the former marking up new high quotation for the present period. Union Pacific and St. Paul moved up briskly, St. Paul responding to its excellent August statement

Connel1 We have offered every in duoement possible to get him inside of a ring, if only for a minute. Would like to meet the gentlemen that want ed to bet the bundle on Young Monty to win. Perhaps they could coax him to get in for six rounds, and if we don't stop his hot air inside of that time he is entitled to all we make and his own, too. For my part, I think if the gentlemen that wanted to bet $200 would invest a few dollars and take him to the Hot Springs and have the yellow streak boiled out of lnim, they might stand some chance in the fu- ture of getting him to box and earn them something.
