MARKET WORKS BMOOTHLT New York, Oct 31. The week opened on the stock exchange with a continuance of the bullish feeling that prevailed on Saturday after the unexpected favorable bank statement was made public The re ceipt of higher quotations for Americans from Iiondon helped to impart confidence in the market which showed an advancing tendency from the start. In addition to the buoyancy of the indnstrials and low priced stocks, which have been prominent in the dealings of late, there was increased strength in railway shares lite St. Paul preferred, Northwest Lake Shore and Michigan Central, which rose anywhere from i t H Per cent, the last named leading the upward movement The heavy tonnage on the trunk lines both east and west of Chicago stimulated purchases. Tlie grangers improved a point or more. Among the coal shares Lackawanna, Delaware and Hudson rose 1J, while Reading and Jersey Central declined HQl. Araoiif the industrials. Distilling and Cattle Feeding and Chicago Gas were tuo centers or attraction. The former rose 2 toCT, and the buying was baed on leports that the company has gained control or its only competitors at the wet, although offi cials still deny all knowledge or the matter. Chicago Gas advanced nearly 2 per cent, and closed at the highest figures. The commis sion houses executed a number or invest ment orders, the stock being taken on the assurances hy insiders that it will soon be on a 6 per cent basis. American sugar was up about a point, while American tobacco declined and the latter roe 1. National Linseed Oil as weak and declined licr cent.

Ru mors were in circulation that tho Metropoli tan Traction Company would turn np as a largo on ner of New Tork and Northern and Manhattan stocks at the annual election of those companies on November 9. The fact that the money market worked smoothly despite the calling in of loans preparatory to the November interest and dividend disbursements had a good effect on the stock market, which closed strong in tone Railroad bonds were active and strong with the Reading preferred incomes and Sew York and Northern 4s as the features.

Chicago, Oct. 31 To-day marked tne cul mination of the big deal in ribs on the Board of Trade, and when tho gong rojndedthe hour for closing ribs were still kir.e. The pit was Jammed during the last quarter of an hour, the general expectation being that the shorts would come In and attempt to fix a price bywash"sales. General expectation was wrong, however, as the shorts did noth ing of the sort, and the great deal culmi nated without a ripple of excitement The price at the wind-up was $12 even and the indications were that the shorts had prac tically all settled, netting Messrs. Cndahv andWright about $1,000,000. The deal was the outgrowth of an attempt by the packers to break Wright who was "long" at the time of the cholera scare. Wheat oiqsed Jo higher, notwithstanding big receipts and a very close approaoh to the heaviest visible supply on record: corn gained iromje to o over Saturday's clos ing rates. Outside ot October ribs provisions were weak and lower. The general sentiment was decidedly bet ter in wheat than at the close of business last week. The cables were higher, domes tie markets better and there were strong in dications of a material falling off in the de liveries. The receipts at primary points last week were nearly 2,000.000 bushels less than the week previous and the deliveries to-dav at Minneapolis and Duluth were over 800 cars less than a week ago. The threatening weather was stlso regarded as a bull factor as it was thought It would have a direct In fluence m restricting receipts Generous crops were reported in the southwest and the inspection to-day was 110 cars more than the estimate, but this did not weaken the market to any great extent. Corn was more active and higher. The re ceipts wer about 90 care less than expected and the bad weather was expected to re strict interior deliveries. " Oats were firm all day an d closed with c gain. The condition of the other mar kets, wot weather and a good demand for shipment were the principal reasons for the strengtlu The receipts of hogs were very heavy and the market for provisions ruled weak, with the exception of October libs. There was quite a slump in everything else toward the close. January pork shows alossofS7c, lard ot 20c and January ribs of 17c.

A BPDET IN CENTRAL TRACTION. i A Scheme to Help Western Pennsylvania Phonograph 'Company. LOCAL AND GESERAL FINANCIAL ftETYS Monday, Oct. 3L October closed with local securities quite active and the tone of the market about equally divided between strength and weak ness. Duqnesne traction continued to lead the weak contingent, bnt at the decline scored to-day it looked very much as if it had touched bottom. Considerable stock was taken, at least, on the assumption that the slump was about over, those who sold out just above 29 being conspicuously good buyers. With one exception the other street railway shares were also lacking in strength. That exception was Central traction, which advanced to sales at 30 on call, a close at 3031 and a sale at 30' after the close, the support coming muiuly from insiders and being based on the Mayor's veto of the Bollefield street railway ordi nance. Airbrake was stronger, being bid np to 127. Philadelphia Company was stronger and higher, and others were piactically un changed lrom last week's closings. The Market's Movements. Philadelphia Company opened at 21 sales, sold up to 22 and closed strong nt 21 TO22. Luster sold at 9 and Closed at 8 bid. After the close, however, it sold at 8,, and thereafter was quoted at 8Jj;9.

For the last day of a month business along the wholesale mercantile line to-day was unusual ly active. Orders for stapl09 by mall were fnirly numerous, as was predicted they would be, and tho preparations lor Halloween festivities imparted an appear ance of decided animation to the movement among the produce commission men. In the main prices wero held at about last week's closing marks, but where thore were any changes they wore in the downward dl lection. .Grain continues to show weakness bnt hay appears to be gaining a little strength.

The egg market continues to hold pretty steady, prices ranging about as last re ported. Cold storage stock is offering pretty fieelv just now, but with tho majority of buyers preferring to pay the diffeience for guaranteed stock, it finds a freo outlet only in tho absence of the latter. Chiokens have been in pretty liberal re ceipt for somo time, nnd snpDlies offering to day are quite sufficient to meet present wants. Well-developed sprinc stock Is mostly inquired for, but flue old is nlo at tracting a fair shaie of attention. Ducks in fair request as quoted. Turkeys in limited demand but will do bettor later. But little inquiry lor geoe. Inquiry lor cabbage continues brisk, all arrivals being readily absorbed on arrival. There is 110 change of consequence to note In tho general situation of the onion trade; a fairly good movement is being effected in tancy Danveis, but with supplies fully up to piesent wants no advance 111 prices onn be made.

There is some improvement in the demand lor apples, choice to fancy quality selling more treely and market more firmer than a week ago. Grapes still ooming forward liberally, but as good demand continues supplies keep mov ing steadily as quoted. Quinces have been in fair lecclpt during the week; demand is good for nice smooth stock, but prices some what lower. Cranberries in improving de mand for fancy qualitys inquiry is mainly lor boxes.
