for news of a very ordinary character to

A renewal of drouth damnK" pomplalnts
from Argentine helped to star' a little rally
about nn hour from the opunlns and Decem
ber , which hud heen selling at 80c , ad
vanced to ! H'p. Then prices slowly saRtced
off nguln. The hull clique In that month ,
which lias t en steadily disposing of 1 :
holding" lately , was a seller of December
n nlil today every time that month Hho.M-d
sIjriiM of life , and a buyer of May. The cun-
srqiii'nrrwns a material lessening of the
spre.id between those two options. One

This was followed by another advance to

Corn displayed more weakness than at any
time "Once the present decline beuan. There
was n little covering by shors early In the
Nrsslon. but the majority of the shorts anil
there are iplenty of them held aloof. Out
side of that the market was almost without
Htippor : . Kli'v.itor si-lllnj ; w.in prominent
< -trly ; .mil this wils followed by commission
liouse offerings. Hrcelpts , PT cars , and a
pnor whipping dcmaml , all contributed to
the weakness. December ninged from "t'.ic
to 2.V [ C' , closing ' .VfiSnC lower at 2"ir ; c.
Oats was > M-nl ; with corn , selling off Jc
nnd I'loslni ; at the bottom. A lack of n ecu-
latlvo trade helped to en-ate ihe weak feelIng -
Ing which ruled throughout. Katiern houses
were good buyers early , but after their de-
ir.iiiuls were satisfied [ sellers had some dllli-
oulty In dlxposlng * of their offerings. Snip
ping demand showed a falling off. Receipts
were lor * cars * . December ranged from IS'/fci '
to ! S'c ' ( and closed at the I.liter price.
Yellow fevjr again resumed Its sway over
the provision market and c.iust-d It to resume -
sumo the weakness It appeared to he emerg
ing from ve terdiiy. He-ports of the appear
ance of t le disc.ise In Mobile caused a weak
opening. Prices were maintained tern-
luir.irlly oiMng to the falling of a few or
ders , but llher.il selling soon gave hope to
many who bought yesterday , disposing of
their lines ap.ilu nnd a sharp decline fol
lowed. Toward the close the feeling Im

NI3W TOUK , Oct. 19. The undertone of to-
ay'a market was one of strensth throURhmit.
'he volume of transactions was not Inrice nnd
hero wen prolonged pcrluds of dullne.sa when
rndlnir praetlcally atngnant , but the opern-
lens of Important Interests , which were prom-
nut In tin ; late bull market , were manifest.
'lip tone of yesterday's market had apparently
ptcniiincil laiKC profwslonrtl operator * to under-
ako ( i movement for n rise today. The break In
hi- price of I'ullnisn , due to the news of the
eath of the head of the company , halted the
peratlons of thin element for n time , but thu
weakness of thn Hut In the face of th break in
iillman nnd the marked weakness In Chicago
HH nnd the stronif itupH | > rt which wan uffered
ho Pullman stuck encouraged thu bull operators
0 renew their campaign In an aggressive wny
atcr in the afternoon. Tli result was thnt the
horts were driven to cover nnd prices through.
ut the list mounted strunKly upward to n point
materially above lust lllKlit's close. Tlio Ix'iirs
ad made the most of tin * sympathetic effect ] > rj-
aeeil by the oix-nlnsr weakness In Pullman , but
he moih-ratp decline In the general list failed to
rlnc any heavy llipjldatlim or to dislodge nny
real nmount of stop loss order * . Tlio manifest
rmness of prices discouraged them and their
ush ti > co\er nt the close was precipitate. The
trength of the market dcveliped llrst In the
"andei bills. Michigan Central was the sensa-
lonal feature In the group with a. Jump of 5U
olnis , but nearly nil of these- properties , In-
luillng' Northwestern nnd Omaha , were quite
uoyatit nnd closed with net gains of from 1 to 2
olnts. Him-ar nnd Chicago Has laiiKiM o > er
learly 3 iiolnts nml the coverlntr of shorts In
heso stocks on the rise was nn Importnnt
lenient In the strength of HIP market. Dealings
n Pullman were on a very large scale nnd o\er
1 rantfo of 7 % . fn estimating the flgnlllcanco of
his movement It Is to be considered that the
tuck jumped yesterday on a small trnnsac-
Ion. siirli ns often affects nny Investment
stock. The closn today Is only half n point be-
ow the price ruling before yesterday's snle. All
: he news of the day continued favorable , rail-
oad earnings continuing to show Improvement.
Louisville won 11 notable exception , with n de
crease m earnings of J7.700 for the second week
n October , due to continued Interruption by yel-
ow fever quarantine. The adjustment of pas-
eiiKer rates by mime of the western railroad
lines removed a recent CIIUFO of apprehension.
Lnndnn continued to be a good buyer In the
Ni Yoik market , and In fnct offered the prin
cipal suppott dm Ini ; the early trading. The ex-
chang market showed n distinctively Hrqicr
tendency , though ttip only announcement re-
Kanllnic gold from Kurope was of the with
drawal for shipment to the I'nlted States of
