It was. ko ever, noted that the falling Hff In the valuma | of transactions was attended by a changed character of the market, indicated by a de- creased prominence on the part of the ccm- mission houses and more open ovidence that manipulation was responsible for the bullish tendencies in many of the more prominent | stocks. The irregularity of prices secmed in fact to proceed largely from the absense of the eagor buyiug demana for stochs un the part of the public, which had been the miain | cause of the advance during the preceding fort- | night. Outslde participation, however, con- tinues on a large scale, and a good deal of profit-taking was indulged in, but there was general liguidation. Excellent in- vestment buying is still noted, particularly at concessions, and declines, whether the result of realizing by speculative holders or of the increased activity of bearish professionals seem to rise In the appearance of support and tresh ving. foom Araecs were some: hat inclined to work for a reacti Jarly when it was seen that the fortnighily u‘- tlement at London which' began on. revealed no such extensive short interest tn Americane as had been expected. It appears in fact that the amount of this short interest in our stocks abroad that the principal lon oF 1t BeY becn viously covered. The London mlbllu, lndced, showed some disposition to buy American rails this week, but the foreign selling apparently of long stock continues on a scale which, it is held, accounts for the strength and ads tendency of foreign markets. The New York money market, however, takes no alarm at | the foreign -elllna. and the money market here disregards both the firmness of discount rates in London and the rise in forelgn exchange. Last Saturday's bank statement was accepted as indicating that money will from now on accumulate at New York and the rates for both time and call loans show an inclination to become easler, despite indications of a poor statement to-day. This supports the feeling on the fhe etrest at 'arge thac, in o2 o Pannite v e ot oo SEhibit reactione; the -stok. market 15 likely to continue if its upward course for some time.

G. Dun & Co. Weekly Review of Trade to-morrow will say: Commercial failures in November were 850 in number and $12,300,316 in amount of liabilities, against 782 in October for §3,072,791 and $86 in November last year, when liabilities were only in number and of the mortality occurring in trading concerns, of which 617 falled for $7,606,358. There were 40 other commercial fatlures, with llabllities of $910,793. Four banking and financial companies defaulted for $823,000. At first glance the No- vember statement appears very unsatisfactory, but it must be remembered that & few heavy fallures 4n wool and other textile industries account for a large share of the reported lia- biilties. ~Aside from this one branch of trade, which has naturally suffered heavily from the tardy approach of winter, the figures show business to be on a good foundation. Holiday retail trade starts off “well. This week has been characterized by many advances in prices, but the most significant is the small rise In boots and shoes, which of all the great industries has been slowest to conform to the minimum improvement. Large sdemand for goods for current consumption ls the report from nearly all directions. The dry goods trade, recovering after recent liquidation, shows business ex, rndlnz, but 1rregularly and slowly. show the best results, fine brown | sheetings advancing from 6c to 6.20c, bleached shirtings from 7.41¢ to 7.62c and brown sheeting frum 5e to 5.12c.
