SHOWING FOR SEPTEMBER Trading la Congested in the Harri mnn Issues and Other Develop ments Are Little Regarded. Bonds Are Firm. NEW YORK. Oct. 30. The professional element in th speculation bad an active day and rolled up a considerable aggregate of transactions. There wa not much out side Interest In the market, commission houses getting Itttl of the day's business. Floor-traders did a large proportion of the dealings, which were largely of th kind than Mr. Harriman. in speaking of the Summer's activity in Union Pacific, de scribed as "sale in a circle." There was a notable congestion of these dealings today in t'nlon Pacific and the movement in that stock had an important sympathetic effect on the whole list. This sympathetic effect was somewhat sluggish and was quickly lost when the strength of Vnlon Pacific itself began to wane. Th movement In Vnlon Pacific found It ex planation In the earnings statement for Sep tember, which were published midway of the stock oxchange session. Obviously, ther was advance knowledge of this statement on the part of those whose buying at the opening made a spread of in the net price of the stock. 66,009 shares of Union Pacific selling at the same time at 172 S and 173 The showing of the monthly report was extraordinary to such a desrm. that It seemed to excite some suspicion and to leave the stock heavy and uncertain upon its publication. The 4 per cent in net earnings over last year at this time when the railroads have scarcely emerged from the depression which overwhelmed them early in the year, makes brilliant contrast. Something must be allowed for the un favorable effect on last vear's September ; net earnings of the swelling operating cost. the 1 nion Pacific reporting a falling on in net earnings at the time of over $500,000 compared with the preceding year. Th heavy operating cost at that tlm affect the comparison with the expense Item this year also, which Is reduced nearly $1,000,000. The read's Increase; of $44.359 In gross earnings shows it unusually fortunate. With all these allowances made, however, the proportion of expense to gross earn ings, which amounts to '?ss than 47 per cent with the taxes included, represent a degree of " efficiency In earning power which carries no conviction of a permanent condition. Th-e whole market turned on - this inci dent. Other developments were little r gai ded. An advance In the price of cop per was an incident of the day. Bonds were firm. Total salos. par value, $5.M2.000. I'nited States bonds were un changed on call. CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS. Closing Sales H igh. Low. Bid.

Dun's review of trade tomorrow will Bay: Decided Improvement Is noted In most trade reports this wek, especially In re spect to distributive departments. Orders have come to manufacturers freely, in many cases accompanied by re quests for Immediate or very early de livery.

Many mills have resumed after months of dile ress. sufficient orders having accumulated to assure Active capacity during the re mainder of the year, and there is general belief that contract, will be placed freely during the next two months.
