Financial District Believes
There Will Be Daily Calls
of Selected Securities.
Sterling Exchange Weak.
Formal announcement of arrangements
,,, to resume trading In bonds on tlio floor
r of the Now York Stock Bxchnnge was
t Awaited with Interest In the financial dis
trict today. Full details of the plnn have
. not yet been decided by the special com
"" irtlttee.
', It Is generally understood, however,
that there wilt bo dally calls of selected
V bonds' and other securities. Meanwhile
transactions in bonds aro going on
n through the commltteo und over counters
on n. large scalo at prices 4 to 5 points
above the prices prevailing a month ago,
.', and additions have been mado to tho
u number of stocks traded In through the
, New York Stock Exchange clearing house.
Tho Now street curb prices havo not
maintained tho high rango established
t the beginning of tho week. There has
. been an increase In supply and dc
liveries, both on transactions In tho open
, market and through tho Clearing House,
which havo been mado In foreign cer-
tiflcatea. Foreign houses, however, say
that this does not Indicate present
foreign selling, but a rclcaso of stocks
received from abroad In the first week
of August by tho Olympic and other
steamers which have since been carried
by tho banks to whch they wcro orig
inally consigned.
These consignees deolro to avoid the
necessity of making transfers to their
own names In order to obtain dividends,
for which transfer books soon close.
Canadian Pacific, Union Pacific, United
Stales Steel common and a number of
other issues will ocll cx-dlvldond on De
cember 1 and are prominent among Is
sues of which foreign certificates are
now being delivered.
Present foreign orders are on the buy
ing side. One New York houso has Just
r received an order to buy 1000 Amal
gamated and United States Steel from
Berlin, by way of Amstcidam, and many
" buying orders have been received from
- Berlin,
Arbltraso brokers received no cables
"Z -frt"n London this morning about the set
tlement, nnd they assume this meana
, , that tho settlement progressed without
trouble. Some of tho leading banking
houses received notice by cable that tho
. British loan had been offered and that
their correspondents would bo pleased to
place subscriptions for Now York ac
count. Money was freely offered at B per cent,
on both tlmo arid call loans, with banks
f disposed to be liberal In regard to col
lateral. Sterling exchange was weak.
, because of absence of bids. Demand $1.87
nnd cables J1.87H. Fronch exchange was
scarce and tho market was strong, with
i caoies in acmana at 5.1ZVi.
New street curb prices: United States
sieei common, 47; Southern Pacific, 8254;
Atchison, 8714; Pennsylvania, 101; New
York Central, 70V4; Reading, 13814.
With an improving demand for both
stocks and bonds In the local market to
day prices advanced In some cases and
for some Issues they were 6 per cent,
higher than a week ago. The most
prominent feature In the day's trading
was a demand for International Smoke
less Powder common stock.. Some
strength was shown In the stock yester
day and there wero sales reported at 21.
Today, however, a new buying move-
m.nt atnrfnrl n..1 ft n.l.. & .
PM' J " mv hid iJiitv went up lo
w 23 bid for 100-share lots. The stock sold
arouna iu ana is in July and there was
e. very narrow market for It. The
strength and renewed demand was attri
buted to tho belief that the company has
received somo larger orders from the
Government as well as from European
countries. Pennsylvania is of 19(8 were

BULLISH SENTIMENT
MARKED AT OPENING
OF CHICAGO MARKET
Prices, Although ' Firmer,
Work Off Somewhat
Owing to an Absence of
Demand.
ClflCAOO, Nov. ls.-Bulllsh sentiment
predominated at the opening today. The
market was firmer, hut after tho start
prices Worked off a little owing to an ab
sence of demand. Itecelpts nt spring
wheat points were smaller nnd many per
sons believe the movement will decrease
from now on. While export sales yes
terday were heavy ngaln nnd full pre
miums were paid for cash, bulls are not
satisfied with the volume of dally clear
ances. The market at Liverpool was steady on
smaller offerings, strength nt Winnipeg,
unfavorable weather In Argentina and
stronger offers from India, Winter rose
3d. In the Kngllsh mnrkct. It Is not pos
sible to estimate accurately the yield of
Argentina at present, as the crop Is en
tering a dangerous period In the south
and centre. If prospects turn out as ex
pected there may bo nn exportable surplus
of 110.000,000 bushels.
Corn started steadier, but Bagged on
flno weather and prospects for larce re
ceipts. A fairly large line of long corn
was sold. The market nt Liverpool was
firm on a good demand ns a rcsutt of
lighter offors, strength In Argentina and
put chases of cargoes at higher quota
tions. OatB wcro stronger on buying by com
mission house and ntt trndcrs. The
selling won light and scattered. Traders
v,cre watching the other grains. More
interest Is being shown abroad in oats
from outside countries. British grades
hnvo ndvanccd and the difference in
values between native and foreign has
narrowed. Canadian grades are held
firmly and offers are small.

N. R. BULLER
AI-LENTOWN, PaT, Nov. 18.-N. It.
Buller, the State Commissioner of Fish
eries, was In Allcntown yesterday, and
made arrangements with Colonel Harry
C. Trexler to secure 3,000,000 trout eggs
from the latter'a Lehigh hatchery, which
Colonel Trexler will give without cost
to tho State. Tho Pennsylvania Fish
eries Department does not keep enough
breeding fish on hnnd to supply nil tho
trout eggs needed, nnd for some years
Colonel Trexler and other owners oT pri
vate hatcheries havo given the State
their surplus, or as many eggs as were
desired.
Commissioner Duller will need about
5.000,000 eggs for hatching during tho
winter and Is making arrangements to
secure the 2,000.000 additional from
hatcheries scattered throughout the
Stnte.
Mr. Buller has Just returned from n
visit to Erlo nnd Cnnnda, where he ar
ranged with the Cnnadlnn nuthorltles
for a large number of white fish eggs.
Tho Stnto of Pennsylvnnta and tho Ca
nndlnn Government hnvo a reciprocity
ngrecment, entered Into by Mr. Buller
several years ngo, for tho securing and
planting of these eggs In order to keep
up the supply of flsli In the lake.
A movement Is on foot to promote the
candidacy of Mr. Buller for reappoint
ment under the administration of Gov
ernor Brumbaugh, who Is himself an en
thusiastic fisherman, and will take par
ticular Interest In tho fisheries depart
ment. Among tho anglers of the Stnte,
nt least, Mr. Buller has mado himself
persona grata, because of the reforms
nnd efllclcncy Introduced In the admin
istration of his department.
