A SMALL VOLUME OF BCSINfiSS, BUT VALUES BOLD THEIR OWN. The Big Auction Sale the Only Special Feat ure of the Week The Market Benefited by Knowledge of s Demand for Bell able Goods. Regular lines of trade yielded satisfactory results during the week, but speculation was apathetio on 'Change. It was one of the dullest weeks of the year, sales on call fall ing below 600 shares. Outside transactions mede some progress, but did not come up to expectations. Closing prices of the active stocks, as com pared with those of the previous Saturday, show the following changes: Third National Bank gained 5 Chartiers Gas lA, Philadel phia Gas H, Wheeling Gas 1, Pittsburg Trac tion 1, and Switch and Signal Central Traction lost J4, Pleasant Valley , and Lus ter . Theie were a lew weak spots In the rest of the list, but, on the whole it was stendy. The feature of the week was the auction sale on Thursday afternoou. It absorbed the bulk of the outstanding orders, and in many cases raised the standard of values. By demonstrating the existence of a good demand for bonds and other good invest ment securities the sale was a positlye bene fit to the trade. Brokers are still hopeful of a revival, and not without good reason. The large volume ol money to go into the hands of the farm ers will be used to discharge a large amount of indebtedness to Tastern creditors, and, with funds accumulating at the financial cente.s, there will be fora longtime to come a disposition to invest In old and new securi ties rather than to work into new enter prises. Such a disposition will direct tunds very freely into stock market channels. Sales yesterday were ten shares of Phlla deli hia Gas at 11, and two shares of Alle aheny Valley Railroad at 2.

Flan of BeUef for the Richmond and West Point Continued Drives In Coal Shares, Epeclally Lackawanna and Beading Chicago Ghs Goes Up. New York, Oct. 31. The stock market was, aside from the trading in three stocks, the dullest of the week and even more feature less thap usual of late. Notwithstanding the publication of a plan for the financial relief of the Richmond and West Point no movement was excited in securities and tho strength and activity in the Vanderbilts and Industrials seemed to have entire dis appeared. in their place, however, remained tho weakness in the Coal stocks, and the further movement In Chicago Gas toward hluher prices, the best figures of ,tho week being rescued in this stock to-day. It, with Lack awanna and Reading, supplied all the ani mation there was in the market to-day, and the features, aside from a sharp upward movement in Phconix Mining; but the latter, as usual of late, had no inflnenco upon the rest of the market.belnga mining stock, and one of the unlisted ones at that. Tho opening was dull and tame, though slightly higher than last evening's figures, and while thero was some demand from London and Boston, the former buvins St. Paul, Reading and Union Pacific, and the latter Atchison, tho traders continued to hammer the Coal stocks to some effect. Lackawanna dropped 1, after opening up , but Reading retired ooly a fraction, and tho efforts to cover later in the day caused the recovery of most of tliee losses. Chicago Gas rose steadily from 55 to 57, closing at the latter price. No other feature of any kind marked the dealings, the general list being simply dull and stagnant, and the market finally closed dull and steady at lnsigniiicant changes from first prices. Chicago Gas showed a change of 2 per cent, but the only important loss was In Tennesse Coal, which opened down 1 per cent and shaded off further K per cent. Rallro:id bonds were more active com paratively than stocks and displayed a more decided tone, most of the issues traded in scoring gains of more or less importance, though Union Pacific, Denver and Gulf West railed to move. Total bales, $745,OCO. The highest and closing quotations were: Atchison In.. frlVia 64 Burli't'n Con.100 (3109 C & Ohio5s....l0JiSl02)4 V&E Ills is..

Tho Railway Situation. John M. Oakley & Co. received the follow ing: "There is one fact patent to all students of railway statistics, namely, the constantly crowing volume of traffic. So far this has been accompanied by a constantly diminish in.nf..hn ,. , i n ,.,(.. ... ...... ,,. .-.. t - .. ..U...HU...UU. There is more reason to expect that the low- afr nnacthlr, rain frnrifTi will Knrrn lio rAn.lm than that the ratio of growth of traffic will oe reactieu or stopped, tv nen tne tenuency of rates to fall is arrested the growth of traffic continuing the railways will enjoy a new era of prosperity. It is not unreasona ble to suppose that wo are approaching the period when competition and legislative interference will have done their worst; then railway securities will have become a more secure and profitable form of invest ment. ,'The bull card in the market was Chicago Gas, though It is not a trump to bo partlcu. larlv proud of. It rose two points. There was an assault on the Coalers, but they did not yield any furtner,tban short sales mtsht be expected to make them yield, and that was fractions. "The bank statement was fullv as favora ble as expected. While the loss in reserve was a petty $32 000, the banks a'tually gained $400,000 in net specie. Richmond affairs are tne subject of a good deal or gos sip. Mr. Inman, its President, is a man of powers and resource, and It will not do to reckon on his deserting tho property. The probability is that the market will be higher and more active Wednesday at advancing prices." A Waiting Market. Henry Clews & Co. say: "Still we have on Wall street the stagnant and resbly-oseilat-ing condition of speculative business that has prevailed for six weeks past. The inter est In the stock market is almost entirely confined to the "room traders;" the outside public are absent or listlessly waiting. There is one fact.however, that deserves no tice, viz., that the constant attacks of tho bears tall to produce any general or impor tant yielding in prices. "This suggests that there is confidence enough to induce persistence in holding; and probably also means that margins are in good shape, which is the more probable from the fact that those now In the market have made handsome profits out of the ante cedent rise. These considerations make it probable that, if the bears are intent upon persisting in their effons to break prioes, they may find it to be a long undertaking and one that will need to be kept up until holders are willing to sell from sheer weari ness of waiting. These are among the con siderations that make the leaders of specu lation willing to defer buying until we r.ro nearer to the maturer effects of our large crops." The Close in Stocks.

Business of the Pittsburg Clearlxuc Houm for the Month. Clearing House operations for the month Just ended, while away below those of last year, run almost even with those of US, which at the time weTe considered extra ordinary. Last year's business was so large as to erect a false standard and caused peo ple to expect the ImDosslblc. Business then was excited and much of it was "wind," as subsequent events demon strated. No w it is, so far as can be seen and Judged, on a sound basis, backed by hard cash. The country Is really more prosper ous to-day than ever before in Its nistory. There Is less speculation and more legiti mate trade. Pittsburg merchants and manu facturers have nothing to complain of. They have plenty of bu-iness and are taking no ri.ks. It can be asserted in advance that 1891 will not end in disaster as did 1800. Saturday's exchanges $ 2,103,182 53 -. il.... i .. jnti ,! Ill - i Saturday's balances i2Ji?21?

A Light Trade and Narrow Fluctuations in Wheat More Rumors of Russian Pro hibition of Exports Corn Opens Quit 'Weak and Continues Unsettled. CHICAGO Only light trading within a small range of prices characterized the market to-day, but the feeling was stronger, and prices ruled slightly higher than the closing of yesterday. The influences were a little more favorable to holders. There was less disposition to sell, and some of the shorts were covering. Foreigners were re ported as buyers, and there seemed to be a little more importance attached to the news from abroad. English cables were higher aud continental cables weaker. The question of Russia prohibiting the exports or grain is evidently having some effect, ad vices to-day again clalmluir a possibility of such an order going Into effect. Reports of dry weather continue to be received, and a message from a party In Central Illinois salTl that early sown wheat is looking bad, and in some cases there is talk ot plowing up and replanting. , The opening was JJic higher, eased of Ljc and theu advanced Jicgyjjc; ruled easy .nd closed about llc uigher than yester day. Corn was unsettled, the early feeling being weak on freer receipts and liberal selling. November went from 51sCc to SOJJc, reacted to 51e, nnd at 13 o'clock was Sljjjc. October was higher, a lew shorts making' efforts to cover. Early sales were at 54Jc; sold to 53c. then up to 56c, nnd at noon was abnnt 56i- Year sold at 44&44e. and May at 42V4'c.
