The circular of Henry under date of | New York, November 12, savs: ‘“The result | of the elections has brought a veritable boom into Wall street.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET, W YORK, Nov. 16.—Apparently the watchers who have been waiting for reaction | in the market to buy stocks made up their minds that this morning’s decline was the most that could be looked for under the circum- stances, and they accordingly came into the market in great force, and before the end of the day had wiped out the earlier losses almost | entirely. and established a higher range of values than yesterday throughout. Although net gains are in nearly sll cases confined to | fractions, the extreme Tise from the low point in the majority of active stocks amounted to 1 per cent or over and the closing was active 2nd quite strong at the top. Morning losses were not made without resistence, notably by Atchison preferred, the Unfon Pacifics “and Bome of the specialties. Chicago and North- ‘western and Omaha also showed strength be- fore the break, but the very heavy offerings of . | which have | Gen Elec &8 the Nor. _.rn Pacific stocks proved too heavy a burden for the market to carry. especially as London was disposed to realize in the inter- national securities. Northern Peoific fell over a point below last night and the whole list went below last nights prices. Thers were stop loss orders uncoversd on the way down, but orders in commission houses to buy were encountered in an increasing amount, and the sharp advance in the Northwestern stocks and Omaha, ranging from 1% to 3%, turned the whole market upward. The advance for the Test of the day was not entirely uninterrupted but the marked strength of -International Paper, Sugar, Pacific Matl, Baitimore and Ohio and a few other stocks and the enormous demand for Atchison preferred kept the bull spirit in the ascendant and discouraged opera- tions on the short side. The selling for London account algo changed to & buying demand at the lower level. These were for the most part simply arbitrage operations based on the dis- parity between London and New York prices, The session of the Parls peace conference and the fixing of a date for a future meeting afford some rellef from the apprehension of a rupture revailed in London. The fact of the Berlin Exchange being closed served to check recently large selling of American securi- ties which has come from that quarter on ac- count of the money stringency. There was a falling off in activity in the bond market and heaviness in sympathy with stocks, though the tone improved before the close.

Liverpool had declined from %@%d before trading on this side began, and the 2:45 p. m. quotations from Liverpool In- creased the lgss to from %@d for December and March ré tively. First transactions here brought the :flcel of December and Mauy‘ down to the level where holders of puts cou operate With eafety. The buyers against those prices caused the market to assume an appear- ance of firmness at the decline and a moderate reaciion took place, December getting up (o #W@etKe and May fo 6itec. Besides the weak- ness of Liverpool the bear side of the market Was encouraged by declines at Antwerp and Paris and an almost total lack of foreign de mand. The seaboard was very prolific in bear news and it had a good deal of effect on prices, which began to sag as soon as the buying Sts let up. Rugsian wheat, according ‘was oftered cheaper, and Argen- howed an increase. Some export oped later, New York reporting about fifty loads taken, but this was & Erent falling off from the heavy en'lxemer}ts of e past week or so. Primary receipts were encr- Mmous, the total being put at 136,000 bushels, or 663,000 bushels more than a year 8g0. Not- withstanding this the market" declined very slowly. December reached 65%c and May 65c before noon. Those were the lowest prices of the day. Shorts, especially in December, were evidently apprehensive of the situation &n fook mdvantage of every dip in prices to cover their lines. 1In the last hour’s trading rumors of the taking of 400,000 bushels for shipment {mparted additional firmness to the market and prices advanced steadily. The market became Qecidedly active and firm toward the close, shorts coming in freely and bidding prices up rapldiy. December advanced to 1*0 and Closed at 66%@66Xc. May closed at §5%@06c. Corn, though starting In weak, soon rallied, and for the rest of the session was strong Cables were lower, but there was an excellent cash demand here and liberal export sales at fhe seaboard. The market was helped a good deal by the strength of oats. May closed 3¢ higher. Gats were relatively stronger than the other grain markets and a large business was done. fash demand was good and offerings were light.

BOSTON, Nov. 16.—The American Wool and Cotton Reporter will say to-morrow: The features of the market the past week have been the large sales of forelgn wool, & considerable portion of which was taken for shipment al A round lot of Montevideo, aggregating _about 750,000 pounds “which had been in bond, as well as an equal amount of Australian, making, say, 1,500,000 pounds in all, have been taken for export, and at this writing negotlations are in progress on certain other lines of foreign wools held here, which may result in the sending forth of ' considerable more. ‘The market has been active in spots. This 18 to say, transactions bv a few large houses constitute the greater part of the busi- ness, otiers reporting no business whatever. The tone of the market as to prices is cer- tainly no weaker. If anything it is steadier. The trade seems at length to have touched a basis upon which consumers will operate, and the actual prices at which transactions have been effected the past week have been on a parity with those quoted the week before. "The sales for the week in Boston amount to 4,084,000 pounds domestic and 1,841,000 pounds foreign, making a total of 7,927,000, against a total of 4,280,500 for the previous week and a total of %.721,000 for the corresponding week last year.
