NEW YORK STOCK MARKET. | NEW YORK, Nov. stock market to-day was suggestive of & pro- | cess of rather elaborate and cautlous testing. The powerful allled interests which have led | the recent bull campaign refrained from buy- | 25.—The action of the | ing on a large scale to-day and seemed to occupy the position of lookers on at the profit | taking sales in progress, standing ready, how- ever, to come to the support of their favorites in the event of their being too hard pressed. Profit taking was very clearly in evidence In the Atchison issues, the Federal Steel stocks, | People’s Gas, Southern Railway preferred and & number of others upon which the recent ad- vance has been sufficlent to make profits at- tractive. The selling pressure was by no means urgent in these stocks, which showed a decided falling off the recent degree of activity, except Atchison preferred. But they were clearly indisposed to advance. The Northern Pacific s maintained their recent drooping tendency pending tne result of further con- sultations between Northern Pacific and Ore- gon Navigation authorities looking to the ad- Justment of the dispute over division of terri- tory. It was significant that the stocks of otber railr vitally interested in the con- troversy were inclined to advance. The Union Pacific stocks were strong, the common gain- ing 1%, and Oregon Short Line rose over a point. Great Northern, on the other hand, lost & point. There was evidence of manipulation at some points, no doubt designed to counter- act the profit taking elsewhere and to sustain the market is_was most flagrant in the Reading issues. The first preferred stock closed unchanged from Wednesday after being | over 3 points above tne parity of Wednesday s closing in London this morning, 1% above at the opening here and 1% below during the courge of the afternoon trading. The move- ment in the other coalers was insignificant, aithough efforts were made to convey the im- | pression that the movement in the Reading se- curities was due to coming favorable develop- | ments in the coal trade. There was also very positive ciements of strength at a few points notably in Baliimore and Ohfo, Louisville and St. Louis and San Francisco second preferred and Great Western preferred. ferred and Pittsburg, Cincinnati, §t.

Grand Trunk was strong on the restoration of rates. "Katfirs were good on rains in Trans- vaal. The strength of the Bank of England weekly returns assists the easy tone in the money rket. During the week £219,000 net in gold was fmported, the details showing the purchase of £103.000 in’ bar gold and in French coin, the receipts of £125,000 from the cape and of £5000 from Portugal, and the export of £20,000 to the Continent.

BRADSTREET'S FINANCIAL NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—Bradstreet's clal Review will say to-morrow: Canadian Pacific, Bar silver dull, REVIEW. Finan- In spite of its irregularity the market this | week has been strong in tone, the average of quotations for the more active class of stocks having touched a level slightly above that of last August. Public and foreign participation and the sus- tained activity and strength of the bond mar- ket is evidence that investment demand for s curfties underlies the present speculative s uatlon. As far as stocks are concerned there has been an increase in the purely professional and manipulative activity, tmportant_movements of the week plainly ex- The market, however, shows every inclination to follow bullish leadership, and while incidents | like the reported breaking off of the peace negotlations at Paris, or the alleged possibility | Pacific roads caused temporary recessions, the bear element appears to be timid, rallies | are easily effected and the buving power which | drops off in one part of the market is quickly turned to other groups of securitles. The ease of money 1s, of course, & point in favor of the bulls, and higher rates of interest abroad create no apprehension in speculaive circles, in view of this country’s favorable trade balances and of the renewed declining tendency In exchange. It was noted that while there has been some forelgn selling, it was confined mainly to stocks in which Berlin is interested, Americans being strong in London, where the announce- | ment that the United States contemplates the Philippines seems in some way to improve | the standing of American stocks. The market | here is not apparently impressed by the rumors | of severe and continued rate cutting among the | Western and trunk line roads, and gives most | of its attention to the improvement in gross | Failroad earnings, while in several cases ad- vances in values have been based on reports of increased dividends or resumption of such payments. The industrials, it may be re- marked, were not as conspicuous as usual, and railroad stocks and bonds have been the main objects of speculative attention. BANK CLEARINGS.

NEW YORK, Nov. %.—R. G. Dun & Co. weekly review of trade will say to-morrow: Thanksgiving in 1898 means more than for thirty years. The ‘‘Harvest Home'’ has never recognized larger crops on tne whole In this country, the general prosperity is attested by the largest volume of business ever recorded, the people’s verdict has given reason to hope that the soundness of the currency and the na- tion's honor will not again be in peril, and a war not matched in history for swiftness of success with smallness of loss has brought more perfect union than ever between North and South and closer bonds than ever with kin “beyond the sea,” ending with the most im- portant increase of territory since California was added to the Unlon. This year so exceptional in magnitude and variety of blessings draws near its end with yet another good gift, a marked increase of confidence in prospects for the year which is to close the century. The industries are do- ing remarkably well considering hindrances of late by unseasonable weather. ‘With sl?l'm! and cold weather many branches TNOW get larger orders. There has been more liberal buying of cotion goods, in part because of last week's reductions in bleached goods, and the curtallment of production in print cloths has caused an advance of 1-18, while the export de- mand supports heavy brown goods, and all are helped by the feeling that cotton has seen its worst. Yet wide sheetings are still irregular and some 5 per cent lower. There is a slight improvement in -rders for men's _spring woolens, though neither jobbers nor clothiers have yet been buying freely. The bulk of the demand is for medium plain fabrics, especially serges and clays, but high grade goods are quiet. More is doing in dress goods but not enough for producers. Sales of wool have been 3 5,000 pounds for four weeks, including about 5,000,000 for export, but mostly at concessions Which have been this week a little Increased on fine unwashed fleeces. i When the steel rail contract was ready for final signature, withdrawal of one large co pany killed it, but a working compact is nev- ertheless sald ‘to have been made, apparently a | sort of “gentlemen’s agreement,” fn which felt. The market for bessemer grows stronger at_Pittsburg. Wheat has again advanced a shade though for spot only %c during the week, while West- | ern recelpts are heavy, and for four weeks have | been 38,034,291 bushels against 29,119,104 last year. The Atlantlc exports, flour included, have been 57,875 bushels for the week against | ear. Paclfic exports, 371,185 bush- | 9 last year,making for three | November, 13,642,066 bushels against | 15, . While Atlantic shipments | excecd last vear's, a decrease from the Pa- | cific affects this market but little. Moreover corn_exports continue heavy in four weeks, 10.383,216 bushels agalnst 9.326,788 last year, | | lifting the price %e, and showing a continued | demand for nearly five months almost equal | to the unprecendented demand of last year. _Fallures for the week have been 158 in the United States against 236 last year, and 21 in Canada against % last vear. BRADSTREET'S ON TRADE CONDITIONS. NEW YORK, Nov. 2%.—Bradstreet's to-mor- row will say: Winter storms and & holiday | bave interfered with wholesale demand and distribution, but later clear, cold weather is a compensating feature, inducing heavy retail businees in seasonable goods. In general busi- ness circles most developments have been fa- vorable, notable among which might be men- | tioned general advances in prices of cereals, provisions, groceries, cotton, steel and pig- fron, the latter chiefly at Eastern and South- ern points; continued heavy general export trade, a better tone in the market for hides and leather, more firmness in cotton goods and | active stock speculation, all of which are re- flected in heavy bank clearing total. Unfavorable features are ‘ew, among which is the continued 'dullness at | | wholesale of wool and woolen goods. The situ- ation as to the country’'s export is flattering, | except for the scarcity of freight tonnage, | which is becoming serious, tending to check shipments of goods contracted for and thus to | geriously hamper the development of Ameri- | can trade abroad. This is particularly felt in the fron and steel industry, .nd considerable pigiron arranged for-shipment is being delaye and may ultimately be thrown back on dome: tic markets. The movement of wheat and | other breadstuffs continues large, and although | some reaction has followed early strength, de- | mand is sufficient apparantly to more than | contract growing Increases In supplies. The | agreement as to print cloth production and | heavy sales of cottons for export have stiff- ened values of manufactured goods somwhat and Imparted a more cheerful tone to this | trade and to raw material itself. Woolen goods | show little effect as yet of current good retall | | distribution, but there is a steadier tone as to | tha values. Important developments are looked { for in the iron and steel industr: and while | the alleged combination as to steel rall prices seems to have fallen through, steel billet values are stronger, and there is a talk of a ‘‘gen- | tlemen’s agreement’ as to prices, taking the place of an actual combination. In pigiron the situation is a walting one, but large buyers are manifesting more interest, and while the | strensth of the metal markets' abroad and the feeling that 1899 will witness a heavy consump- | tive demand, there is little tendency to make | concessions. ~ Increased speculative interest in arthraeite coal stocks leads to rumors of im- portant moves in this branch of trade. ‘Wheat, including flour, shipments for the week, aggregate 5,824,726 bushels, against §,- 9,141 bushels last week, 5,465,163 bushels in ! corresponding week of 1897, 3,753,698 bushels 2,460,306 bushels in 1595 and 2,667,802 in 1894, Since July 1 this year the ex- | ports of wheat aggregate $3,714,153 bushels, | | against 18,435,579 bushels last year.

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.—For a few brief mo- ments following the opening wheat made a ehow of strength, somewhat surprising, in ‘view of the weakness shown by foreign mar- kets. Liverpool advised a decline of %d before business started here and London reported Eng- lish and foreign wheat difficult of sale at 6d decline. The cash situation, however, appar- ently overshadowed forelgn weakness for the time being. A reported sule of 630,000 bushels of cash wheat at St. Louls for immediate ship- ment, an amount one-half of the total avail- able supply at that point, caused a moderate amount of covering by the small fry, and in the absence of any particular selling ‘pressure {he opening prices were maintained for a_short time. May started %@Wc higher at 66%@6The, December opening unchanged at 67%@678%c, but the market soon turned weak. Perhaps the biggest factor in trading was the fizures on the Argentine exportable surpius. They were widely at variance, London cables giving the estimates at from 37,000,000 to 60,000,000 bushels, but even the lower of these amounts was far in excess of last year's exports, and this fact had its effect. Up to about 1i o'clock trade was very depressed. Trade favored the bear side and their selling was influential in caus- ing scattered liquidation by the crowd and in contracting the buying demand. Later there was a recovery, but in the last half hour's trading support was almost totally withdrawn from the market, although nothing new of a bearish nature developed and prices slowly de- clined. Final prices were near the bottom, De- cember closing at 66%c and May at 66%@66%c, Corn was weak during the great part of rather a dull session. The close was only %c lower for May. Oats were extremely dull, but rather firm considering the weakness in wheat and corn. May closed a shade lower, y Provisions were dull and a_shade lower, mostly in hy with corn, The crowd was Adisposed to on every slight rally.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.—The Journal of Com- merce says: There is a strong feeling in the prune market, based on eniarged demands of late for larger and extreiely small sizes and Iimited offerings of these both here and on the coast. Medium sizes, which have been some- what neglected heretofore, are receiving more attention. The output of larger sizes in Cali- fornia this year was light and trade has con- sequently turned its attention to Washington and Oregon Itallan prunes. The demand has come chiefly from export -buyers, who want Jarge fruit and seem to be willing to pay the prices demanded. The quality of Northwest prunes this year s said to be much finer than in previous vears and the crop seems to have run chiefly to large sizes, while the California roduce is principally of medium fruit. Under ncreased demand and reduced stock prices on Washington and Oregon Itallan prunes have advanced within the past few days L@%c per pound and the tendency of the market is still upward. Large sizes of Itallans are mow in small supply stock, the remainder of 40's and 50's in shippers’ hands amounting, it is said, to little or nothing. Holders therefore look for a further advance, which will bring prices for the latter close up to those named for California French prunes. CALIFORNIA FRUIT SALES.

It has been denied that German officers took part in the actual fighting in the Greco-Turkish war, so it is well to point out that there are two aliusions in a book, “The Greco-Turkish War of 1897” to their action, and a_quotation from an “account written by Grumbkow Pasha, Prussian artillery instructor to the Ottoman army,” who *“had been sent to the army to super- vise the armament and ammunition,” but “without holding any deflnite command.” General von Grumbkow on April 25 com- manded the ten squadrons of cavalry and the horse artillery battery which started for Larissa, and, after he had been rein- forced, the three regiments of calvary which entered that town. It is a curious fact related by the German officer In ques- tion that he set a Greek against the wall with the intention of shooting him, and was prevented from doing so by Turkish orders.—Athenaeum. —_———— London has taken up the experiment of municipal street railroads.
