GOOD BUII.VG FOE LONDON ACCOUNT.
KettTobk, Nov. 14. The stock market
opened a fraction higher than the closing
figures of Saturday, Distilling and Cattle
Feeding having made an exceptional ad
vance of c to 6Gc. Subsequently Louis
ville and .Nashville rose 1 to 71, partly on
London buying. The upward movement
was checked b a determined raid upon
Beading, which was sold in large blocks
throughout the day. The price declined
from 57 to 55, without any rallies worth
mentioning, the weakness being attributed
to the talk about the appointment of re
ceivers for the various properties in the
coal combination by the If ew Jersey courts.
Brokers usually identified with leading
bear operators were the heaviest sellers ana
the existence or a large short interest is
Indicated by the borrowing demands. Ono
leading house alone is lending upward of
25,000 ahres.
Tno entire list was sold with considerable
freedom during tlio alternoon, and somo
or the smaller traders were trightened out
of their holdings. General Electric, Amcii
can Cotton Oil and National Lead declined 2
percent, and the other industrials ltolK
percent. The losses in the railroad list
were to l' per cent outside ot Lacka
wanna, whlcii yielded -1. Atchison, Union
Pacific, Missouri Pacific and the grangeis
were especially weak near the close.
Natli VCordage preferred opened 3J be
low the Tast previously reported sale at 112,
and rallied to lit. The common fluctuated
within a rauge ol per cent. Distilling and
Cattle Feeding, Louisville and Nashville
and Baltimore and Ohio were the only
stocks that showed net gains for the day,
Rnd the advances in these cases v ere only
JH f-er cent. A leature of the day's opera
tions was the buying for London account,
n liich was on a more extensive scale than
for some time. The maiket closed weak.
Kailioad bonds were steady until the close,
w lieu a weaker tone set in. The total sales
were U.965,000. Texas Pacific issues were
heavy; the firsts fell .to SO.,'. Detroit,

A BIG VISIBLE SUPPLY
Weakens Wheat, and Corn, Oats and Pro
visions Sympathize.
Ciiicaoo, Nov. 14. The largest visible sup
ply of wheat ever known was lecorded to
day, 67,203,000 bushel, with apiobability, it
Is said, of a further addition of perhaps
10,000,000 bushels to its bulk be Tore it shall
have reached Its maximum for the year. Tho
total a year ago was 39 000.000 bushels. The
markets all closed weak with wheat at the
lowest point of the day and corn and oats at
nearly the lowest figures touched. Prices
declined a compared with batui day's
latest quotations. Corn was also weak and
lel on" c lower. Mav oats fellows 5c ioss
and provisions also lost some of their Satur
day's value.
The meager Indian shipments, the steadi
ness in the cables and the leported largo ex
p&i ts of wheat and flour for October which
were 20,000,000 bushels against 19,000.000 bush
els for the same month last year gave a
rather firm tone to the wheat market at the
start and prices were a trifle higher. In ad
dition, Michigan reported 3 per cent less in
area seeded because of the low prices rulin".
But other considerations soon nullified
these reports and weakness ruled. The re
ceipts in the Northwest were regaided as
large. There- was iree selling and others
bought freely, but nhen their orders were
filled trade became dull and prices began to
weaken. The depression in corn and oats
also had unfavorable effect on wheat The
visible supply incrense was nearly 2,500.000
bushels, or considerably larger than ex-
Eected. The surprise was in the figures for
hlcago, where tho private ouses must
liavo taken enormous quantities of wheat.
Corn receipts were about 100 cais more
than expected, and there n as iree liquida
tion by the longs and liberal short selling
which caused decided weakness.
Oats were lower in sympathy with the
break in corn and heavy selling.
Hog products generally weak; live hogs
were in large supply Rnd 610c lower, and
there was free selling or the products. The
selling was due In some measure to a publish
ed interview with P. D. Armour, to the effect
that prices of January product are danger
ously high. John and Michael Cudahy
seemed to hold opposite views from Armour
and came to the support or the market so
that at the close pork and lard shon ed each
only n loss of 5c from Saturday night, and
ribs 2Wc
FroShts were in fair demand, but agents
did not have many boats ready to loid.
Rates held steady at 2c for wheat and 2J4

LOCAL AKp QENEEAL FINANCIAL NEWS
Monday, Nov. 14.
More interest was manifested by the
street in the course of the New York stock
market to-day than in local securities.
Pittsburgers are rather heavily engaged on
the loner side of Manhattan and other
specialties that have been persistently
bulled for some time past, and it is well
known that some of the industrials and
railroad shares are also carrying a good
deal of money from this section. "When,
therefore, the market, after a firm opening,
broke all along the line, the movement
naturally claimed the attention of all
interested to the detriment ot the local list.
L-ead, Reading and Manhattan, three Pitts
burg favorites, were among the weakest, and
they closed at abput the lowest. Europe sur
prised people by buying about 8,000 shares
of stocks at the opening, says J. S. Cache &
Co.'s special to Oakley, and the bulls said
they were going to twist the short interest
to-day, but there was considerable stock
for sale by smaller holders, and durin" the
afternoon the general market was dull all
through the list. The weakest stock was
again Reading, which declined on tremend
ous transactions and closed near the lowest
of tho day. Mr. McLeod is undertaking too
much, and some people sold on the rumor
mat miles anu miles or cars loaded witn
coal are on the side tracks waiting for a
market. The price of coal has been ad
vanced tolsuch a figure that the consump
tion has decreased to quite an extent, and
the combination which started out with
such a hurrah is anything but a success.
We do not seo how we can get a bull market
at present, and we advise our friends to sell
stocks on every rally.
The special market letter recoived by
Henry Sproul & Co. sized up the situation as
follows: "While the market responded this
morning to a moderate amount of London
buying and a decided tendency to cover
shot t sales in the industrials, the latter part
of tho day witnessed a lenewal of dullness
nnd hesitation followed by rather active
bear demonstrations. The latter movement
was, with every appeal ance of Justice,
credited to the Camtnack party. The
theory of tho attack seems to bo
that the market is not leady for
an improvement and tends to run into
liquidation. The endeavor of tho bears is
to help the latter process along, bnt it
would seem that in doing so they are expos
ing themselves to the danger of overselling
their market. This was uarticularlv the
case with Reading, which wa9 tho decided
feature. Tho assault on it was reinfoiced
by various disturbing stories, but it was
quite evident that tho friends of tho prop
erty ere the purchasers and the bears the
selleis. New England suffered somewhat
and the goneral list sold off in the move
ment, the resulting impression being that
the bears must make their position good."
A cablegram iiom London quotes the Lon
don J'inancial Aeu as saying it thinks that
the long expected boom in American rail
way securities may come now at any hour.
The American speculators, it declares, have
not yet grasped tbepotential factor of traffic
expansion that will bo .afforded by tho
Chicago Columbian exhibition. There is
nothing extravagant in tho estimate that
$250,000,000 of foreign money will bo lelt in
America as the harvest of the exhibition.
Americans will be literally burdened with
money seeking investment.
Thus we have three opinions ono con
servatively beaiish.ono conservatively bull
ish and one decidedly bullish. They are
probably fair samples of the prevailing en
timent, and it would therefore seem from
their tenor that the chances favor tho bull
contingent.
On the Local Board.
A little trading in Citizens traction, P. A
B. traction and Philadelphia Company on
'Change to-day saved the market for local
securities from utter stagnation, and, while
there was also a little trading off 'Change, it

of the market as established at the

And Present and Prospective Business
Very Satisfactory Another Advance in
Boasted Coffees The Egg Market Buoy
ant -Supplies of Game Increasing.
Monday, Nov. 14.
Business was more active throughout the
wholesale districts to-day than usual to
Monday, and expressions on the passing and
prospective trade ( movement were quite
cheerful. Collections so far this month
have been very satisfactory, no complaints
of slowness being heard on any hand.
Boasted coffees were advanced Kc per lb.
in this market to-day, bringing standard
brands in paper up to 22 13-20c per lb.
Game Is coming forward more liberally,
but prices are firmly maintained at about
the opening range lor everything excepting
quail, which are lower.
An active and steadily Increasing demand
and higher prices nre tho main features of
the egg market. Prices have been tending
higher for some time, and owing to the
meager receipts of fresh stock, are likely to
continue so. Cold storage offering In fair
volume, but does not find favor with the
majority of buyers here.
Receipts of cabbage have been larger the
past week, bnt prices are maintained; good
quality will be in demajid right along, and
shippers need nave no rear of overstocking
the market here; prices firm to-day. Theie
is no change of consequence to note in the
geneial situation of the onion trade; a fairly
good movement is being effected in fancy
Danvors, but with supplies fully up to pres
ent wants no advance in prices can be
made. Qjlery moving steadily for fancy,
well bleached stock at prices quoted. A
good inquiry still exists for fancy beets and
prices are steady. Best line of turnips, car
