Tha bn'k of tha trading in October wu

The weekly circular letter of "W- Tennls
ft pfns. London, dated October 18, says:
'London arrivals thla week consisted of
one Nova Scotia steamer bringing 23.000
barrels, and the usual American and White
Sar boats bringing California fruit and
'ate pnrs. The condition of the 'ovs
Fe.'tlan fruit, particularly the Oravenvteins,
very unsatisfactory, the strck was not
only fully ripe, but hsd developed a con
siderable amount of scale.
"Anything which ehowed up In good shape
and clear met with a somewhat better mar-k-t
than last week. Rlbstones and Blen
heims were on the whole In fairly a; tod or
dr. and sold at prices which we consider
satisfactory. The market Is better on atate
pears, and up to the time of writing the
Improvement enntlnuea All this stock has
been arriving tn flmt-clasfi ordr and has
found a ready market. California fruit has
been In plentiful supply, pears doing fairly
well, although the demand has not be.-a
quite so active. Newtown are on the down
ward trend and the market Is not by any
mema clar.
"For your guidance we append prices for
the
"California Newtown. 4 tiers, "a to 8d
pr box; Ktwtowni, 4 tiers, a to 7s 6d
per box; Cornice pears. 7s to lis per half
b-s : rmtcheas pears lOe to lO 64 per ease
Eiberta peaches. 8a 8d to As 8d per half
boa.
"Aa we stated In our last week's circular,
there la undoubtedly an Improved fee; In g
among apple buyers, and we firmly believe
that for any good stock which comes for
ward showing oolor and quality, satisfac
tory crlcea will be obtained. There is no
outlet whatever for poor quality stuff. We
have plenty of this stock coming in locally
and shipments of anything1 of this class will
only meet with disaster.

pr'.r at which chicken sales were reported
waa 11 cent.
Oregon eggs, though In small supply, oon
tlnued weak, with most sales at 87 and

ON SELLING SIDE
Stock Market Affected- by
Liquidation.
SALES FOR LONDONERS
Gains in Harrlman Earnings Sup
plemented by Reports to Inter
state Commerce Commission.
Bonds Are Irregular.
NEW YORK. Oct. 81. The day'a stock
market was affected plainly enough by a
movement on the part of speculative holder
to get- out of their holdings on the eve of
the Presidential election. It was the suppo
sition of observer) in the neighborhood of
the stock exchange that this movement camo
rrom the lesser following of the powerful
speculative leaders. They are credited with
holdinr most of the floating market supply
of stocks and with being; abundantly sup
plied with cheap credit to hold them. Their
ability to put prlcea to a higher level, after
election. Is not doubted. The strength to
which a aran era! demand from outeide sources
for stocks will be attracted is what Is
doubted. It was thla doubt that prompted
the cleaning up of speculative accounts,
which was in progress today In continuation
of a similar movement yesterday. The cir
culation of report of the closing- out of some
very heavy account in L'nited States Steel
yesterday was an Influence in Increasing thia
tendency. Sales for London account were
an effective factor In the market.
News waa not much attended to, although
there was considerable discussion of John D.
Rockefeller's announcement of -hi political
attitude and of the reception accorded It.
The extraordinary gains in net earnings
for September, reported yesterday by the
Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific, were
supplemented by the reports to the Interstate
Commerce Commission of other tranaoontl
cental railroad for that period, showing In
creases In gross earnings and heavy cuts in
operating cost. It waa. considered that
the strength of the returns would operate
a gat not the attempt credited to the railroad
to bring about- a general advance In freight
rates after election.
The bank statement presented no great sur
prises. ,
Bonds were Irregular. Total sales, par
value, $1,960,000. United States bonds are
unchanged on call for the week.
