Wright yesterday signing tlve-yesr lease for the new quarters. While the remarkable increase In the shipping Business of the port has Increased the work ot the marine department of the Exchange to such an extent that more desirable rooms were a necessity, the Immediate oause of ths change was the demands of the grain trade for facllttlea for handling a sample market, euro, as Is a featjre of the grain exchanges In other parts of the country. For this cash Brain trade, tables for samples will bs provided, and an opportunity af forded buyers and sellers to meet and in spect offerings and make trades. The Ran Francisco grain business out of this port has reached such large propor tions that a large number of coasting; ves sels are In the trade almost constantly, and by combining the shipping and buying fea tures of the business In one exchange so that shippers, ship agents and owners can bare a suitable meeting place each day. the business of all parties will be facilitated.

XtMm 1 Increase in Orders for Xew Sujr plies Decrease In Number of Idle Freight Cars. NEW YORK.. Oct. 3. Interest in the auto mobile race for the "Vanderbllt cup was re sponsible for a large .reduction In the usual number of brokers on the floor of the Stock Bx change today. ' ' The effect on the rate of activity which has prevailed lately waa Illus trative of the - professional -character of the market. The .withdrawal-of so large a number of the professional traders left little to the market. Accounts were largely .closed out yester day afternoon, preliminary to. the departure for the racing grounds. Some repressive In fluence Is attributed to the f urloue activity in the political-campaign which la looked for next week. The price movement today was sluggish and hesitating In agreement with the slight Interest in the market. The railroad equipment stock were firm in response to. the reports of Increasing d if posi tion to place, orders for equipment by the railroads. That group was favorably affected by the further decrease of 1S.73S in the num ber of Idle freight cars reported by the Amer ican Railway Association as for the two weeks ending October 14, bringing the total down to 110.036. The report gains additional force from the fact that a large decrease has oc curred also in the number of "bad order" cars by taking them from the repair shops and putting them back Into sen-Ice. The first stage of the reduction of surplus cars was accom panied by Increases in "bad order" cars, showing that surplus cars "were being drawn on simply to defer repairs on cars In use. The - present condition places beyond dispute the substantial Improvement which Is oc curring In the amount of railroad traffic. Bonds were firm. Total sales, par value. fl.404.000.
