With the exception of some protlt-taklng sales In thu last hour of today's market ! the movement of prices wns upward almost without Interruption. The demand was not large at any time , but the supply of stocks proved final ) , even at the higher prices except In n few cases , notably Southern Pnelllc , which met large offeilnKs at 3S. The late break was led by Brooklyn Transit , which wns pressed down under a Hood of offerings to Si , an extreme duclliie of 3 % . The prollt-tuklntr which was Induced by this weakness wns moct con spicuous In Sugar and Tobacco , which lost ' nearly 2 points each of the extreme nd- vnnco. The Initial Impulse to the rise came from London , where the easier money conditions ) nnd a hope- that a peaceful set tlement of the Transvaal difficulty induced large covering by the bears In till depart ments. Ixnulon bought stocks hero to the extent of upward of 15,000 shares and showed n t > pecul : ileslro for Louisville. which led the active railroad list with u net > ndvunco of 14 after an extreme rise of 2 points. The maximum rate for call money was I 8 per cent today , ugalnut 12 per cent yeuter- duy nnd 20 pec cent the day before' . Tha rate fell to I per cent in the late dealings , This progressive decline In the money rate n an Important clement In the strength ! of stocks and han awakened expectations of a good bank statement tomorrow. The i expectation seems to be based on the fact that the banks are known to have received $2,000,000 in sold on account of poitolllce , receipts from Cuba nnd drafts from the Snn Francisco mint on account of ths Klondike gold deposited there. The gold " engaged lost week In London nlso figures | In the expectations of speculators , though it will not be received until tomorrow nnd will not llgure In tomorrow * ? bank state ment. As n matter of fact , the New York , tanks , have lost on the Interior movement so far as known movements arc concerned , , about $3,000,000. Operations with the sub- , treasury Indicate a further loss by the banks of $2S61,000. Allowing for the $2- 000.000 g-old received , the net lossIn cash to th0 banks peems to be upward of $3,500,000. The result may be complicated by the effect of money spent hero by visitors to the Dewey celebration , which Is an unknown quantity. The ensler rates for money are largely 1 , duo to offerings on account of the outside banks , which will be of no advan , tage to the New York banks In their weekly showing. The relaxation In London discount rates resulted In a decline In sterling exchange nt Paris and Berlin. In strong contrast wns the sharp advance In the stiftllng ex change rate here. This Is said to be due to covering by exchange bankers , who hnvo sold bills In nntlclpatlon of n large outward movement ot cotton and grain. The char ering of a large number of Vessels by the Urltlsh government to transport troops and the resulting rlso In rates for shipping awakened a fear that shipments of mer- 'hnndlse may be hampered. The bond market continued firm , but the movement In prices was upward. Total sales , par vnluc , $1,550.000. , United States 3s advanced V4 and now 4s Vi In the bid price. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram fays : The markets hero were cheerful In tone today In the ab sence of war news. There was good buying or Africans , driving the bears to cover , es pecially in the street , but no specific reasons appeared. Consols were 103H ! Americans were buoyant throughout the session , but dealings were smnll. The favorites were Louisville ft Nashville , Erics , Norfolk & Western and Northern PiicUlcs. Spanish 4s were 60 ; tlntos , 463-lGC4GH ! Anacondas , 101-16. Two hundred thousand pounds sterling gold was taken for the Cape , , T'le ' bank bought 11,000 gold In bars and 2,000 In French coin . ; ; the . latter . _ . . purcel. in view oft -t tnn * o that more the high rate of exchange , means nlng.

WOOL-The Boston Commercial Bulletin tomorrow will say : I'ho activity In wool has continued through out the week and the sales , which ap preach In volume those of last week , have been pretty well divided among the deal- cis The mills nro still running to their full capacity nnd the steady consumption of thu raw material keeps manufacturers steadily In the market , although they are a little less eager buyers than a few weeks ago. Probably their Immediate needs are less than a few weeks ago. The whole trend of values Is still upward. London continues strong and our prices are not yet on a par with those prevailing there. Sales for the week are 5,301,100 pounds domestic and 626,000 pounds foreign , a total of 6.S97- 000 pounds , against a. total of 6,897,000 pounds last week and a total of 1,961,000 pounds for the corresponding week last year. Receipts to date show an increase 01 2 : 3,394 bales domestic , n decrease of 31- 113 baies foreign as compared with last year. The sales to date show nn Increase of 122,972,100 pounds domestic and 12.G2C.900 foreign. LONDON , Oct. 6. WOOL The fifth se ries of the wool sales closed today with offerings of 11,419 bales. The selection was fair and the continent purchased good merinos after spirited competition. Home buyers took the bulk of the crossbreds offered. Inferior stock was difficult to sell. The general market closed stronger , showIng - Ing a better basis than the earlier part ot the series promised. The home trade purchased 123,000 bales and the continental buyers 13,000 bales. The opening of the series showed prices 7 per cent higher and this prevailed throughout the week , ex cept for the low grade sllpes. Home trade was especially good. Continental buyers purchased moderate of merinos at hardening rates. Medium stock with line crossbreds realized 15 per cent bet ter and scoured 10 to 15 per cent. Toward the end of the series the demand for home trade fell away and the continental buyers held off with the view that the opening of the Australian . sales would show lower values ) Prices cased 5 per cent from the hlgheBtAlthough ; the continent bought more freely during the last week prices showed 'nq material Improvement. Merinos and flno crossbreds closed firm nnd 10 to 12 > ,4 per cent above the July series. One of the features of the sala was low , coarse crossbreds , which were de pressed at the last scries and opened at this sale 7' , * to 10 per cent higher and ad vanced to 15 per cent higher. Medium greasy was taken by Americans at 2'A per cent , but closed at n 5 per cent ad vance , owing to lack of demand. Inferior sllpes showed little change , owing partly to the dearness of merinos , which would not allow profit when made up , causing manufacturers to ? cek low-priced articles with fair success. Capo of Good Hope and Natal was In poor supply but good de mand nnd showed an Improvement of 2d. White scotireds realized Is 2d. Sales to day were as follows : New South Wales , 52S bales ; Queensland , 1.1C9 bales ; Victoria. 1,044 bales ; South Australia , 404 bales ; West Australia , 501 bales ; New Zealand , S,17 bales ; Cape of Good Hope and Natal , 4' . bales.

Largo lines of cotton purchased around 6c for Jan uary were liberated and more courageous bears aggressively attacked the market un der the firm conviction that the backbone of the bull movement had 'been ' broken. Considerable cotton of the pyramid order came out from time to time. One prom inent Wall street llrm was reported to have pold nearly CO.OOO bales under stop orders , Speculation was feverishly active with the market and at times very excited.

The market as a whole was slow , but without material change In values. Only a few loads of cornfed cattle were on sale , and they changed hands as a rule In pretty good season. One bunch was good enough to bring $5.75 , and some of the same cattle sold earlier In the week at practically the same price , showing no ma terial change on that kind. Common to medium cornfed cattle have eased off a little during the week. Only three or four loads of grass beef were reported In the yards , and they sold about line yesterday , but In the neighborhood ofOc lower than a week ago. The mancot on cows and heifers was slow and without feature. The receipts were very light and th quality of the tew loads here not very good as a rule. Prices were not materially changed from yesterday. Some pretty good belters brought J3.75. The stacker and feeder market was a good deal like yesterday , very dull and slow. The fresh receipts were small , but everyone haa some holdovers , a good deal on the trashy order , and It was slow work clearing the pens. Speculators had quite a good many cattle on hand and were not inclined to buy many more , n It WAS npar the end of the week. Prices are down now where It looks as If the country would take hold more freely , and there ought to bo a good demand the coming week. Representative sales : BEEF STEERS No Av. Pr. Mo. Av. Pr.
