After an irregular opening, speculation became weak and prices declined i4l per cent, the bears again concentrating their efforts 3U the coalers and some of the industrials. Chicago gas fell off ly to 96, and General Electric, Beading and Lackawanna ifi Per cent As nearly as could be judged the bulk of the selling was for the short account. On the other hand the for eigners bought moderately and their pur chases had not a little to do with the strength ot Iiouisvilie and .Nashville, and Northern Pacific preferred, which be came more pronounced as the day ad vanced. As a rule the lowest figures of the day were touched during the first hour, but there was no marked change lor the better until after 1 o'clock, when an active move ment to cover shorts set In. The ndvance :rom the Ion est was equal to K1?! Per cent with the Industrials. New Jumiand, Louisville and Nashville, Northern Pacific pi eleri ed and the coalers in the lead.

Cliicaeo Gas and Gen eral Electric ro-o 1KC on comparatively liclit offerings. Louisville and Nashville, ard Northern Pacific preferred each moved up over a point. There was very little in the way of news to affect prices, and the change for the better during the afternoon whs attributed cniefiy to a chance or iront by certain operators ho for several days have been hammering the maiket.

The feature oi the morning was the enroling of shorts on that stock, the postponement of the New Jersey receiver ship suits not being relished by the bears. It 1- indeed alleged that all this litigation is entering upon a new stage, and that the New Jersey State authorities aie not nearly so eager to Dress it as they were before elec tion. The arternoon did not add much to ihe activity, but it was marked by further covering ot shot ts in Sugar and other stocks due apparently to intimations Mat Mr. Clevelnnd might make some lemarks at the Chamber of Comnteice this evening tending toieasure the business interests." J. & Iiiche & Co. to Oakley & Co.: "Europe combined to buv stocks to-day, and It is estimated in the two days they have bought about 20.000 shales of stock. The buying abroad was stimulated bv several newspa per articles, all o: which were of a very bull ish tenor, their argument being mat the elec tion ot Mr.Clevelaud would be a lastinggood to this omntry."

Chicago, Nov. 13. Big export business proved powerless to-day to check the de cline In the prices of grain. Wheat closed 3Jc lower for December, and Jc lower for Slay. Corn declined IJic, and oats c Pro visions required the support of their trlends and received It, but at the windurj wore only a shade above last night's quotations. Besides the liberal receipt, weak cables In following table shows the prices of active Hocks en the New ork Stock Exchange, corn-cud uallv for Ti'E Pi tsuurg Dispatch by Wuiixkv 4 MtrurvRov, oldest Pittsburg mera beis r New York slock Exchange. J7 Fourth avenue: '"i'H 11 26 93H 22 "6H nnd the fine weather, wheat was farther In fluenced by the large increase In the amount on passage 1,2:8,000 bushels and the In. crease of nearly T00.C0J bushels in the En glish visible. In the absence of any fresh bull news the trade seemed to forget the bullish reports on which the market has so recentlv advanced and began to doubt the permauency of the improvement. Hence, on the appearance of the weakness there was pretty free liquidation and good short gelling. December wheat heavily offered by such elevator Interests as Armour & Co. and Counselman.Toroved a drag on the market and carried prices to a discount of 6&c bo low May. There was a leport oi 250,000 bushels of wheat being taken in St. Louis export, also that Duluth had sold at least 200.000 bushels, and it was also claimed that 200,100 bushels had been sold here for export, but even these rpports failed to have any special effect upon values or create any ad vnnce in prices. Corn was weak and lower rrom the start, on the more liberal receipts than expecteil, the fine weather for Interior deliveries and the weakness in the wheat pit. In oats there was a liberal traae and a weaker ana lower markot due to to decline in wheat and corn and the unloading of longs. Hcg products were unsettled and higher. The receiDts of hogs were less than expected and prices at the yards were 610c lower. Freight rates were slow and rates to Buf falo easy at 2Jie for wheat and 2o for corn.

All the Street Railways Hbott a Drooping Tendency. LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS Ttjesdat, Nov. 15. Dullness and weakness were again the chief characteristics of the local stock market to-day. The trading at the regular call covered only P. & B. traction, Phila delphia Company and P., A. & JL traction, and the transactions aggregated only 65 shares. Philadelphia Company continued its drooping tendency, selling down to 21 and closing at 2121Jf. The weakness, after a prolonged spell of steadiness, can only be attributed to sales for all accounts on unfavorable reports concerning the sup ply of cat It is common talk in some quarters that the Pinhook field, the bring ing in oi which did much to put the stock above 20. is gradually petering out. The Philadelphia Company brought in some good wells in that rezion and se cured control of what seemed to be the cream of all the territorv on the Pinhook anticlinal, and if the supply found there is Deiug exnautiea rapidly as some assen the Philadelphia Company will be the chior sufferer. The Philadelphia Company peo ple seen resarding the matter do not admit that the field is taillntr materially: they sim ply assert that experience has taught every body that all fields mil sooner or later. They declare mlldlv.jotnono the less confidently, that their sup'ply has shown no direinntioii, and that they expect to have sufUclent gas lor their household consumers this winter, and, for all ttiey now know, lor many winters to come. On the contrary, men ex perienced in the business and who have been directly nnd 'indirectly interested'in the Pinhook Held ever since the first big well was brought in there, say that It has seen Its best days and will soon be added to the list of "has beens." "The field Is declin ing with astonishing rapidity," said a gen tleman to The Dispatch. "It has been prodded to death. If only a few wells had been put down there it miiiht have had a pretty fair lease ot lite; but the trouble has been thatit has been ovenun with com panies and individuals who have killed it by overdevelopment." It is to be hoped that the gentleman has ex aggerated a little, but if he has, so also have a number of otheis. It may be, as intimated, that such talk is partially or wholly responsible for the weakness of Phil adelphia Company stock, but if there is no basis lor it the company suouia nasicn io make It known. Indeed, the company owes it to its stockholders and its patrons to make known its condition as to the supply of gas. At the last annual meeting of the company a resolution was adopted instruct ing the Board ot Directors to issue a circular, some time befoio cold weather set in.settlng forth the facts as to the gas supply, so that the patrons oi the company would know what preparations, Uany, they would have to make lor the winter; but so far as known no such circular has yet been Issued. If the directors have any Intention of obeying the Instructions embodied in that resolution, it would seem as if now was the time for action. What is keeping the street railway shares so weak no one appears to know. That they will be nieher, however, everybody freely admits. Theieisa big upward movement coming before long, and -judging from the bear talk one bears in certain quarters, its commencement is probably close at band. P. & B. traction sold at 24 to-day, closing with the extremes a fraction below and above this point; P., A. & M. traction sold at 44, with more offered at the bame price, and the others weie weaker without being notice ably lower. Union Switch and Signal closed off in the bidding, on both the common and the pre ferred, and nothing on the list was really strong excepting Airbrake, which was wanted on 'change at 135 and cold on the street at 136. Among the listed bonds the following quotations were established: Allegheny Valley railway, 7-30S, 110 bid; Junction railway 6s, 117 bid; CUlze-s traction 5s. 106 bid; Pituburg traction 5s, 104 hid.

The details of the business have not yet been made pnbllo, but It Is said they contemplate the control or a numDerof banking houses by a syndi cate, which control ts to enable the syndi cate to borrow monoy witr,whioh to buy in dustries. It is the opinion of some close observers of the markot for whisky stock that there has already been such an immense line or loans seenred on the stock by the manipu lators, and that they will nped to borrow so much more that they are forced to keep quotations up where they are. The borrowing of tho period has become so strong and steady that notes of interest maintain themselves at 6 per cent for the majority of loans and 7 per cent on a fair proportion of time paper. When inter viewed in regard to the sources of the de-, maud, bankers assert that nearly every branoh of business is represented at the counters.
