STREET WAS STAGNANT fj.tcaiixr. market ix i,ono DCAItEU AMERICAN SCCUIUTIES. Foreign Liquidation Amounted to Fifty Thouaml Miarew -Money Hate Tonchr.1 Thirty-Fire. Money on call at New York was unsettled ot 633 per cent.; last loan at 35. Prime mercantile paper was So'fc per cent. Sterling exchange was irregular, "with actual business in bankers' bills at 4.Zi for demand and at KSOTifH.Sl for sixty days; posted rates, H82fi4.S3 to $4.84.86; commercial Mils. I.SOT4.80. Silver certificates, KtfiSOc. Bar silver, Ec. Mexican dollars, 474c. Bar silver at London sold at 26 15-16d per ounce. The New .York stock market had to face yesterday morning the accumulated depression of three days trading in a sagging market In London, while the exchange was closed here. The drop in prices at the opening was "u wide one, numerous railroad stocks showing a loss of a point or over, and Tennessee Coal showing an extreme decline of seven points. The local traders were Inclined to feel that London was unduly depressed, especially with reference to American securities, and they started to bid prices up again. The first loan of the day was made at ft per cent., and this encouraged an optimistic view of the money outlook. The rally was short lived, and the course was quite consistently downward for the rest of the day. A sharp advance in the coalers on the advance In the price of anthracite was ineffectual to check the decline. London sold not only during the first hour, but as Ions, as offices, there were open for business. Liquidation from that source reached between forty thousand and fifty thousand shares. The violent decline in Br!t!h consols had an important sentimental effect, although it was1 afterward explained that this was partly due to the expectation .of a new ifsue. Buf the new Issue is as significant of the practical certainty of war as any incident that has thus far occurred, so that the explanation did not afford relief to the stock market depression. The fharp rise .in London discount rates caused an advance of He in the actual rate for demand sterling here, and had an equally marked effect on the sterling exchange rate both at London and Paris. This development U equivalent to notice that London is rot prepared to part with more gold to New York without making every possible effort to prevent it. Long sterling was weak on selling against sterling loans. The- local money rate quickly moved upwards when the renewal of loans carried over from last Thursday began to influence the market. The call loan rate was carTied up to 17 per cent., while the money market was still in full activity. It whs then rushed up to 30 per cent., after which there were violent fluctuations down to 10 per cent., and up again to 33 per cent., at which rate the last loan of the day was made. The closing was 30 bid and 33 asked. Nothing of the expected relief to the money market was in siht to-day. The demands In London lessen the probability to further gold imports, and the condition of New ork exchange at Interior points indicates a continuance of the demand for funds from tint source. The money left in the city by the- visitors to the Dewey celebration was not In evidence In Wall street, though much bad been said of this prospect of relief by the speculative contingent. The subtreasury has gained nearly 11.500.000 from the market since Friday. Money seemed to be in supply at the higher rate from the proceeds of time loans made some time ago, but the loaning resources of the banks evidently are exhausted at present. The decline of prices was made without any evidence of demoralization, and the closing prices were the lowest. The selline was well distributed through the list. Among the leading specialties losses ranged from 2 2.5. the latter Sugar. The bond market was not active, but was weak, in sympathy with stocks. 'Total sales par value. J1.230.OW.

NEW YORK, Oct. 2. The Commercial Advertiser's London financial cablegram says: "The markets here were heavy throughout the session to-daj. influenced bj the war apprehensions and dearer money. Consols fell 14 to 102c, the Contango ttlll ruling at the exceptionally high rate cf 5 per cent. The Bank of England directors held a meeting, but did not advance the minimum discount rate, from which it Is. Inferred thaK Pre"nt rate of 34 per cent, will remain until Thursday. The market rate for bills ruled at 4 4 44 per cent, for those maturing within the year: beyond that time 45 per cent. The bank discounted short bills at 4. long bills at 44 per cent., and lent money at 5 per cent. The call rate ranged from 343 per cent., a good deal being put out at the latter figure. The final rate was 34 per cent. Americans began weak, hardened slightly on receipt of New York prices, but finally relapsed again."

MARKET SCENTED- WAR

A DULLISH SETI3IEXT SWEPT OVER TUB PITS AT CHICAGO. All the Frodncts Closed at Higher Prices Local Trading wa Active, with Small Adraifces. CHICAGO. Oct. 2. The prospect of war between Great Britain and the Transvaal was the predominant factor In all the grain and provision markets -to-day and caused sharp advances In some instances. A big foreign demand for American cereals was also a feature. December wheat closed lUc higher and May lSlc higher. Corn advanced H?iC oats UftSsc and provisions 2U&10C higher. Wheat started strong, at an advance of fc!c for December and ic for May, which latter option was In considerable demand) throughout the session. War In the Transvaal was considered almost certain by English traders, as was shown by a sharp advance In the Liverpool market, and this fact strongly Influenced local traders. Besides this primary receipts showed a big falling off and the foreign demand for wheat was excellent. The demand was quite general at the opening, outside investment buying being much In evidence and December, opening at 73TQ74c, soon advanced to 744c This price was well above call figures, and selling against those privileges and the usual realizing by longs caused a temporary decline, December reacting to 74c. This, however, was the only soft spot of the session. Prices were soon back to 74UG74c, and though the volume of trading fell off for a time no further decline resulted. There was apparently a quiet absorption of j'all offerings by some Important interests.' Toward the close of the session the market again became very active and broad and prices advanced materially. A report that diplomatic relations between lvngland and the Transvaal had been broken off and martial law proclaimed in Pretoria put a sudden stop to selling of any kind, and prices were bid up quickly. Considerable Interest was taken In the May option. There was a good outside demand for this future and the difference between May and December wldenedl to 3c in consequence. Minneapolis and Duluth receipts were 1,347 cars, against 1,311 last week and 2,44S ?a- year ago. Chicago receipts were 1W cars, seven of contract grade. Total primary receipts were 1,570,000 bushels', against 2,23tt.0UO a year ago. The local cash demand was large, with sales of at least 8,000.000 bushels reported for export. Other big shipping points reported a similar condition. New York reported thirty-nine loads taken for export. The visible supply showed a heavy iucrease, 2,415,00) bushels, but this had little effect on the market. St. Louis was a big buyer in this market. December advanced to 74?4c and closed at 74i'974Tc. May ranged from 7Hc to 77?ic and closed l,'31?ic higher, at 77 c. ; - - Corn was fairly active and strong. Shorts were heavy buyers of both December and May. and both futures scored material advances. Prospects of a war in the Transvaal was a prominent factor in the advance. The shioping demand was unabated, the seaboard reporting 152 loads taken for export. Receipts were 088 cars. December ranged from 29c to fftic and closed higher, at 308'g30 :May closed c higher, at 31Vc. - Oats, in common with other grain markets, were active and higher. Prospects cf war made shorts uneasy and covering by that class of traders resulted In good advances. The small Increase in the local stocks, 132.000 bushels, and the continued heavy, cash demand were also factors. Receipts were 317 cars. . December ranged from 227iG23c to r.Hft 23ic and closed higher, at 23ttfr23t4c. Provisions were only moderately active. Prospects of war, small deliveries and the strength of grain markets were reflected by frovlsion3 and fair 'advances were scored n all products. The'.market was strongest near the, clo.se, anAiflhaJ,,prtces. were about the best of the day, iAt the close January pork was 10c higher,at $9.85; January lard 5c higher, at - tt.Gila,. and, January ribs 5c higher, at S5.15. .

It w as a "big day'! on the Cotton Exchange. .The greatest advance In prices was a matter of 38 points, and from start to finish the bull faction was in control. Friday's queer doings in the New Orleans market had led the trade here to look for something in the way of a surprise when the market opened.' more particularly as it had been rumored that Liverpool shorts were in full retreat and being closely followed by jubilant bulls. The initial sales showed an advance far exceeding the hopes of the most optimistic holders, while subsequent business revealed an Intensity of bullish sentiment in outside speculative circles not even imagined by the market's best friends. Just prevloua.to the opening the superintendent of the exchange made the unusual request that brokers name the full price when making bids and offerings, in order to minimize the possibility of mistakes and to reduce confuson as much as possible. The stroke of the gavel started a wild wave of speculative activity, which showed little abatement up to the very close. Opening prices were 14 to 23 points above the closing of Thursday, and though the market reacted from time to time during the day the undercurrent of sentiment favored still further gains. Bulls were spurred cn at the start by an advance of 7"V4 iwlnta In futures at Liverpool, coupled with rumors that epct cotton had advanced in remarkable form during our holiday interval. Talk of frost having Injured cotton in several parts nt the. belt estimates for much smaller receipts than last year,, as well as further severe reductions in crop estimates, and reports of advances in the price of spot cotton in the Southern markets added luel to the fire of bullish enthusiasm. Prospects of frost for the Western belt to-night and increasing apprehension that to-morrow'a government bulletin would be more bullish than generally expected served to check profit taking Uta in the day. Those parties who had sold out Thursday night In the fear of a slump abroad before our opening to-day reinvested soon after the market opened. The market closed firm at a net gain of 3134 points.

Business waa rather more spirited than Saturday, due principally to the better selection offered. Despite this improvement it was apparent that the keen edge has worn off the demand and the only stock in good request" was a lpt of fine Geelong greasy, which sold at prices 6 to 10 per cent, below the highest of the present series. French and German buyers actively absorbed medium greasy merinos. A large supply of cross-breds was offered. Fine grades were firm, but the coarser ones were irregular and were frequently withdrawn. There was a considerable falling off in the demand from American quarters and consequently big prices fcr medium greasy were not obtainable.
