Kew York, Nor. ia There was a
further shrinkage of business at the Stock

day wag irregular. At the opening frac
tional advances were geuerally recorded,

129; G, G, G & St K, to (j2; American
Sugar, X to 106: Lackawanna, to 150;
Baltimore and Ohio, to 9Gi; Missouri
Pacific, to C8J, and the balanced the
list to J per cent. Time concessions
were small, considering the talk about gold
exports and the active efforts made by the
bears to force long stock for sale. Under
cover of the weakness in certain of the
stocks named, the professional dealers
quietly accumulated Heading, St. Paul,
New England, Atchison, Distilling and Cat
tle Feeding, Ciiicago Gas and others.
During the afternoon a change for the
better took place, and the whole, list ad
vanced on comparatively light offerings.
Slaulmttan again led the market, selling up
1i to 130X. and was followed by the Coalers.
General Electric and the other industrials.
Tho persistent buying of Distilling nnd
Cattle Feeding, which at no time sold below
last night's closing, and left c ff with a net
gain or iy; per cent, was a conspicuous feat
ure of tlio day's operations. Heading,
whicn, among other stocks In point
of activity, was alto noticeably strong,
closed at 5G, the top price. Leading
houses bought freely. Ainong the special
ties Kto Grande and Western preferred
broke 6 to 64, and latersold at 63: Ohio South
era declined 1, while Chicago and Eastern
Illinois showed a cm responding advance.

HOG PRODUCTS ADVANCE.
Jlainly on Light Receipts of Hogs, and
Cereals Also Rule Higher.
CniCAGO, Nov. IS. The;provision pit was
the center of intei est to-day. The lightre
ceipts of hogs scared the shorts and Janu
ary pork sold up $1 per barrel from the
price two days. Partly as a result of the
semi-panic in hog products, wheat was In
brisk demand closed with an advance of
more than a cent over last night's figures.
Corn and oats gained Hc
Buoyancy and excitement prevailed in
hog products nearly all tho day. Tho re
ceipts of hogs were about 6.000 head les
than estimated and prices at the yards were
10c to 20e higher. Short3 at once started to
cover and theie being little for sale a quick
Jump in values was the result. Wright,
Cudahyand Itobinson were all big buyers.
The hog receipts for the week will probably
pe, 11 is aaiu, auuut u,uw 11:33 man lor cue
same week last jear, and for October and
November will fall 500,000 below the receipts
for tho same time last year. There was im
mense realizing on the advance by the bull
clique, but the shorts were so demoralized
that they took all that was offered without
waiting to inquiio from whom it came.
There was some cessation in the demand to
ward tho close and January pork tumbled
back, closing 20c from the top of the day,
but SOo higher than last nignt.
Lard was even stronger than pork. The
Janunrv delivery, which closed j esterdav
at S J7K, advanced to $8 80 and stood at $S 75
at the close. Ribs for January delivery ad
Tanced25c and closed with a clear gain lor
thedavot20c
A wild storm was prevailing In tho North
west and binaller rec-ipts of wheat were
predicted for some days to come. Tho re
ceipts locally fell 30 cars below the estimate.
Cables repotted the English markets as Arm
and domestic markets were also a Miade
better, while the buoyancy In the provision
market also helped. With wheat harder to
sell than ever known before, and with the
Russian crop especially In bad repute owiug
to the cholera, it was not belioved that a
further burden wonld be laid upon it. How
ever, It was lound difficult to buy wheat on
the advance.
The corn market was higher In sympathy
with wheat, and in some measure also to
diminished receipts.
'In oats a few orders were received and
trade was mostly of a scalping nature.
There were fair offerings of "vessel room
and the demand was light. Bates to Buffalo
were 2c for wheat and 2J4o for corn.

P. fc B. TRACTIOfl STILL DROOPING.

Strong Point.
LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS
Friday, Nov. 18.
There was a little trading in P., A- & M.
traction bonds, Union Switch and Signal,
P. & B. traction stock and bonds and West
inghouse Airbrake ou 'Change to-day, but
the market as a whole, according to one ot
the brokers, was "very small potatoes and
few in a hill. I am unable to understand,"
continued the broker, who, by the way, is
generally recognized as an authority, "why
the market holds dull and leatureless so
long. Money is plentiful, prices are low
and other conditions are not unfavorable.
Given these essentials, therelre, and
the dullness is inexplicable. It
may be, however, that the result of the
elections has chilled tho ardor of some
ot our leading traders. It may be, also, as
The Disr-ATCH nas stated, that those in mer
cantile and manufacturing lines are so
busily engaged as to be compelled to neglect
tne market for the time being. There is cer
tainly some cause, but no depressing Influ
ence seems to be especially prominent. I
have an Idea, however, that we have seen
the worst, and that trading will pick up in
a few days. Investors ought to be taking
hold pretty soon, and I havo no doubt 'the
boys' are already figuring on getting a little
Christmas money out of the market."
Union Switch and Signal sold at 19, clos
ing nt 1919: P. & B. traction sold down to
24, closing at 23 bid; a small lot of Airbrake
sold at 136, witn 100 shares offered at the
same price; P., A. & M. bonds sold at 103 and
l'.4H bonds at 100, which was the extent of
the market on 'Change
In the remainder of the list there were
very few changes In prices, though the mar
ket, as a whole, was weak and changes in
all cases were slight losses.

Citizens Traction.
The Citizens Traction Company sonds ont
the following circular letter to stockhold
ers: "At tho annual meeting of this company,
to be held November 21st Inst., there will be
submitted for the approval or disapproval
of the stockholders the question of leasing
the pioperty and franchises of the Peun
Street Railway Company and guaranteeing
the principal and Interest of an Issue of
bonds by that company to the nmftnt of
$250,000. The line -or the Penn Street
Railway Company is now being constructed
from tho piesent eastern terminus of this
company by way of Frankstown avenue to
Wilkinsnursr. It is believed by the manage
ment of the traction company that tho Penn
Street Railway Company will prove to be a
very valuable, property in the near future,
develop an extensive territory not now
within the convenient reach of a rapid tran
sit line, and in case the lease is made, add
materially to the receipts and profits of this
company."
According to street report the contingent
in the Citizens traction known as "out
siders" propose to make an effort to elect
some one at the coming meeting to repre
sent them on the Board of Directors, and
they have concluded to unite on Mr. S. S.
Plnkerton, the well-known broker. Mr.
Pinkerton is in svmpathy with the "out
side" element and In favor of a more liberal
policy In the management of the company.
I(is understood that 3,000shares aro pledged
to the effort, but 6 000 are needed, and it is
believed they can bo obtained. Those voted
on the cumulative plan will elect whoever
they are voted for.

STEEL BILLETS FIRMLY HELD
And Structural Shapes Are Strong Under
an Improved Demand
A PKEni GOOD LIST OP SALES
Friday, Nov. 18.
The outlook for the iron and steel trade
for the remainder of the year is a good one.
The undertone of the market seems to be
gaining strength daily. There is no big
boom that is calculated to derange trade
and place a false value on products. There
is a decidedly better feeling among dealers
generally. The most marked features of
the movement are the scarcity of the best
brands ot pig iron and the gradual tendency
to higher prices. There is little fron press
ing upon the market at present, and con
sumers who formerly bought for immediate
requirements only are now taking rather
more than they need. The sales are quite
satisfactory In volume, and there Is hut lit
tle haggling about prices. Some makers
for certain brands aie now obtain
ing 2535 cents per ton over the
nominal quotations on new orders.
If the market holds steady for 30 days long
er a general advance may be expected. The
reports from the Mahoning and Shenango
valleys are very favorable for maker": the
demand has been active and sales of Besse
mer pig large, extending into the first quar
ter of the new year. Prices have advanced
2535 cents per ton above those that ruled
a suort time ago.
Opinions of Oracles.
"Cold Short" sizes np the situation thus:
"A temperate bnt distinct improvement Is
developing to compensate the pig Iron pro
ducers for the long season of depression
they have had to submit to. and if this
change for the bettor is handled soberly
and not strained before it reaches healthy
development, it will gradually strengthen
and very probably endure throughout the
year. Haste to avail of all there Is in this
now born and, therefore, immature and un
certain opportunity. Is exactly what should
be avoided. Ir theie is really any reason
for the change, and it has the proper degree
of strength behind and in it, euougn of an
opportunity will be developed to reach all
rouna.
An Eastern dealer has this to say: "The
Western mills are close competitors for
plate and structural material, and a number
or orders from hero have been taken by
Pittsburg works." The market is In excel
lent shape, and although there is a consid
erable increase in the output there is no
weakening in prices. Stocks have been melt
ing away to the extent of about 20,000 tons
per week, so there can be no question in re
gard to consumption.
Temper of the Market.
In new steel rails the syndicates have
reduced the price at the mills to $2S perton,
which was foreshadowed a week or so ago.
The trade during the latter part of the
week showed up fairly well. Bessemer pig
was in good demand and very Arm, with
certain holders asking an advance. Gray
forge firm and demand steadily increasing,
two sales beimr reported at 10 cents ad
vance. In steerblllets tho late advance was
maintained on liberal salss. Skelp iron and
steel show an increased demand,n itb prices
unchanged. Muck bar steady, but not very
active; no change in values. Sheet bars
Arm and in fair demand. Structural Iron
firm under an nctive demand. Steel beams,

Well Sold Ahead.
CniCAGo.Nov. 18 Special. Bngers.Brown
and Merwln report as follows: The demand
in this market is at present divided about
equally between foundry and soft metal.
Reports from various sections show that the
furnace companies generally are well sold
ahead and iti some casos to such an extent
that no nirther contracts ot size can oe
handled for tho next five or six months.
Tho general conditions nil remain healthy,
and, while the architectural iron makeis
and jobbing loundries report a falling off in
work, consumption in otner lines is heavy
and 111 excess of the same time a year ago.
Prices Hardening.
Cincinnati, Nov. 18. Special Rogers,
Brown & Co. say: Actual demands lor iron
aie taking stocks from furnaces as fast as
made, and the tendency Is toward a steady
heardenin of prices. Naturally the evi
dence of t'10 changed temper of the country
on the subject of protection has a tendency
to check all blonlns in of furnaces now Idle,
bo lar is the South is concerned, the stacks
that nave gone out for repairs outnumber
tho?e that have gotie in, the net result being
tho uecieaso of production.
Signs or Activity.

Erown & Co. say: The market holds up well
and shows signs or activity. Tho largest
