NEW YORK , Oct. 20.-Conslderlng til
apathy and indifference which have n
cently been manifested on the stock ej
change , the resjstanco made today to 111
depressing Influences exlsllng In all of th
general security markets was rather r <
markable. Even at the opening prices r <
fused to yield to a parity of those estal
llshed In London for Americans , but 01
opening nnd the rather heavy volume t
offerings for London account was easily al
sorbed at a level sulllclently higher I
make a very nice profit for Ihe arbitral :
brokers. After the London selling ha
ce-ased In the forenoon the market took o
a hardening tBndeney and broadened 01
to n very perceptible extent.
Prices of the grangers and other rallroa
stocks. Including some In the list of thos
dealt In foreign exchanges , rose abo\
yesterday's level , or , at the least , retrieve
the earlier losses. Many recently lnietl\
stocks were brought Into the movcmei
and there was n , resumption of the buyin
In small lots of pome of the well secure
dividend-paying stocks. The explanatlo
of this lays In the fact that what Is Et
rope's poison Is to n certain extent 01
meat. The striking evidence of this wn
disclosed In the grain and provision mm
kets , which were all excited nnd hlghc
on the larger competition for our pioducl
rellocted from all European markets as
result of the ream of coming hojtllitlos hi
tweeh Great IJrltaln and Franco. With
wheat crop of unprecedented dtrnensloi
to move this development was bound I
have an Inlluenco on the grnln-carryln
raids.
In former times threats of war In Euroi
brought with It the dread that largo foi
olgn holdings of American securities woul
bo forced to liquidation on the New Yor
market. The Indifferent mood In whlc
this possibility was viewed today Is
striking proof of the large reduction whlc
has been worked in the foreign holdlm
of our securities us payment for last year
large tradu balance In our favor. Thi
trade balance and the continued movemei
In our favor nro also tlu ground of tl
Indifference of the money market nbrom
European government securities decline
a sharp fraction and money rates advance
111 sympathy nt nil European centers. } i
the 'only effect in the New Ynrk marki
was to harden the. rains for foreign e :
change u fraction. As for the local monc
market , not a rlppls was caused and rati

HOGS Today's reciMpls of hogs we
larger than yesterday's by n few load ? n
Iho largcsl of the week to date. Rcecli
? o far this week have , been rather bch
the average , as will be noted from t
table of receipts at hi ml nf column , a
hardly up tn the reiiulreni'iits of the ms
ket. At the name tlmu iirlcen have be
high hfre as compared with oih"r mnrke
so that the falling oft In receipts Is e'
dently due lo the storm.
The early reports from different markt
were not especially unfavorable this mor
ing nnd thu market at this point open
very nearly steady. That Is , u few of t
llrst loads to sell brought about yesterdn ;
prices. The market did not remain In th
condition , ns la'er r ports from C'hlcu
Indlintcd a break In values there , and t
trade hern weakened off before much bu ,
ness had been transacted. The packo
wanted the hogs , but they wanted them
little lower , and the mnrket closed a shu
to 5u lower. A good many of the lieu1
hogs that brought $3.70 yesterday hud
sell ut S3.fi7'2. As sellers were n lit ;
backward about making any concnssloi
thu tradu was Im lined lo drag and It w
rather late before a clearance was llnal
effected. Representative sales :
SHEEP There were only ten or cli-vi
loads of aheep and lambs In sight tli
morning when the market opened nnd tl
most of them were feeders. ThB demai
lor million grades of both sheep and l m
was good and the market fully stead
A few lambs that worn good enough f
the killers brought $5.15 and $5.30 , whli
was fully as good as yesterday. The mn
ket on lambs , howevtr , Is a llttlo low
than It was last week. At the same tin
there has been such n scarcity of goi
mutton sheep that they are Kteidy
stronger as compared with a week ugo.
A very considerable proportion of tl
offerings consisted of light l.imbs only goi
for slockers and feeders. There has bei
a good deal of trash In the yards the la
we'ik or more , Biich as old and thin owi
but that kind of stuff has been pretty wi
cleared up , and today there was not mm
on sale In the way of feeding stock aMi
from the fresh arrivals. Prices on bo
feeding sheep and lambs were just aim
steady and th" market is practically whe
it was last wiH'k no far as values are co
ccrned.

Oil sprinkling on the tracks of the Uoston
& Albany railroad In Massachusetts Is about
over for this year. The company has bceu
greatly pleased with what has been done ,
reports tlio Boston Transcript , nml Chief KM-
iilueer Walter Shepard says that the sprink
ling had proceeded westward from Boston na
far as the I14th mlle post , excepting a few
short stretches of track In UrookfleM , HuntIngton -
Ington and ouo or two other places , where
the grade has been changed recently. Thin
takes the Borlnkled section so mo dlstancu
beyond Springfield , and It Is the Intention
to finish the work as far west as Chester thla
month , when further sprinkling will bo post
poned until next year.
All that Is needed to provo the efficacy of
thin method of laying the dust along thu
[ roadbed , so the officials say , Is the sight o
! a train passing over the sprinkled sections
I at high speed. Where such a train was for
merly followed by a whirling cloud of dust ,
thcro Is now hardly any disturbance of that
i Bert ; and the ralfroad men say that It saves
, rolling stock because It prevents the partl-
I cle3 of grit from getting Into the runnlm ;
'
mar and wearing It out. Crudr- oil has been
nerd 01 tin csion & Albany tra.-Us , and IS
has cost , roughly speai.mn , i-n a mile.
This Includes the first cost of the oil , the
transportation to this etate and the cost of
| thn license and rleht to build and ueo a
| Bprlukllng car under the patents of the com-
| tinny that controls this method of treating
roadbeds. The Boston & Albany companj
has used about eighty-two tanks of oil ihls
tcason , and will use ton more before finish
ing the work laid out. A tankful Is about
C.OGO gallons.
The company has been using a sprinkling
car fitted up according to the palcntcd plans
of the roadbed company. This IB merely
an ordinary platform car , over which ift con
structed a framework of pipes , with valves
and controllers , which supply the oil to , i
perforated cross pipe , extending across the
track underneath the car , and with a movc-
able arm that can IKS extended out nt onn
Bldo whenever It Is decided to sprinkle the
slope of an emdankment. A email shield la
so fastened that it at all times prevents the
oil from fairing on the rails. This plpo car
Is always need In connection with a tank
car. the pipe car , tank car and locomotive
constituting the sprinkler train.
This first sprinkling of oil penetrates thn
ballast to a depth of about four Inches , and
cakeH together the flno particles of dust ,
forming an oily surface , which not only pre
vents the dust from being whirled about , so
It Is claimed , hut also keeps the rain from
penetrating and washing away the ballast.
I In addition , the advantages claimed for Ihls
I treatment of the roadbed arc that It prevents
I many hot boxes , by keeping the dust out of
the running gear , prevents frost from dam
aging the balfast. destroys and preventi
j vegetation , and reduces the noise of trains.
The oil used IK almost odorless and Is non-
I Inflammable , and It is asserted that thu ralni
renew lt surface by washliiK oft the dust
that accumulates on It after the first sprink
ling.
ling.Only ono sprinkling a year Is rcmilred.
The company will sprinkle again next sum
mer , but since the roadbed will then hav
bad ono sprinkling , only about one-third of
the first amount ofoil will have to be used
In the treatment. Whether It win be necea-
I sary to sprinkle again In the third summer
i la ( in open riucEllon. for the reason that none
of the roads that go far tiavd tried this
treatment have had It on trial as long an
I
third season.
