NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features Of the Days Dealing in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Oct. 2S.-Trading in stocks
dragged along uneveny, today, ending
with losses for most of the speculative
faVorites. The opening was Irregular
with an easier tendency, and the volume
Of trading was so light as to suggest an
apathetic attitude on The part of the larS-
er SPECTATORS. A better demand APP
peared however, when stocks were Of
fered down. Prices moved upward until
the list ranged well over yesterday s
close. In the afternoon. this trend was
reversed, apparently for no particular
reason. and quotations fell backward
steadily to tine close
Announcement that s., 10000 South At
rican gold had been procured in Lon
don for New York held first place in the
days news and Tor a time exerted a
stimulating effect on stocks. This en-
Gagement of gold was forecast by. tile
drop in demand sterling. which. yester-
day, fell under the figure touched at the
time of the last engagement. The usual
movement of gold to this country, in
payment for E.urope's purchases of cot
ton, grain and other commodities, has
begun month later than last year
There was tendency later in the day
to revise first Impressions regarding the
engagement of gold abroad ana the fcdr
was expressed that further bidding for
gold by America might result in an adj
vance in the Bank Of Englands rate of
discount.
The supply of stocks on the late de-
cline apparently came chiefly from the
bears This selling was accompanied by
reports that the quarterly statement OF
the United States Steel would be less
favorable than had been predicted. When
the statement appeared after the close
of the market, 1t was seen that these
pessimistic predictions had some justifi-
cation. Another bearish influence was
publication of several unfayorabie rail-
road reports for September. Union Pa
ciiic showed a decrease in net or 500.
