'A RISE IN EXCHANGE
Checks an Advance in Stocks and
Kevives Talk of Gold Exports.
EAELT GAINS ALL WIPED OUT
Under a Yigorous Fear Attack and the Mar
ket Clo.ea Weak.
EAILROAD BONDS GESEKALLT STRONG
Xntr York, Nov. 2& The stock market
was strong in the early trading, particularly
for the industrials, which advanced i to 2
per cent, Distilling and Cattle Feeding,
National Cordage and American Tobacco
leading the upward movement. Among the
railways Chicago and Eastern Illinois pre
ferred rose 1 and Jersey Central 2 points.
The improvement was checked by the ad
vance In the posted rates or stcrlinc ex
change, which renewed the discussion about
gold exports, and during tho afternoon tho
bears attacked the market with considera
ble confidence. Erie preferred sold down a
little over 2 points. United States Rubber
dropped Zyc to 41. American Sujar to 109JJ,
Distilllne and Cattle Feeding i to 67K and
the other leading shares K to 1 per cent.
The market closed dull and eak.
The bond market was strong. The trans
actions footed up $1,156,000. The Reading
issues were quiet and to H per cent lower.
The European orders were entirely want
ing In our market and prices were rawed
all day. During the morning some long
stock was forced out, and In the afternoon
the market was dull, but did not rally at all
from the depression of the morning. The
sterling exchange market is very strong and
It looks as if about $1,000,000 of gold would
BO out by Saturday's steamer. If this proves
correct It will surely bo a verr discouraging
feat-ire, as gold exportations at this season
of the year are entirely unexpected. The
reason lor the strength in exchange is the
Increased Imports and the deci eased ex
ports resulting fiotn the low price of grain
and the decreased exports of cotton.
Holders or stocks are getting nervous
abont the situation, and some quiet liquida
tion has been going on all the week. W e ad
vise our friends to bo conservative, and to
take advantage of rallies to sell stocks, so as
to purchase then again on the decline.
Some short covering was noted to-day in
whisky, in which the short interest is said
to be large, but we think in the rest of the
market the short interest is about the same
as last night. J. S. Bacho & Co. to Oakley

WHEAT LOWER
On Generally BearisU News and Corn, Oats
and Provisions Also Decline.
Chicago, Nov. 23. Wheat got a black eyo
to-day. There was a very general indispo
sition shown to hold long stuff over tho
holiday. To-night, compared with yester
day's latest prices, wheat is 1c lower for De
cember and Jfc lower for May. Corn Is from
Jc to JbC lower, oats c; January ribs and
pork are each 10c off, and lard 13c
The sharp down-turn in wheat began at
the opening upon reports of big receipts in
the Northwest and, above all, the very large
Increa-e in the available supply reported by
ZratUlreeCs, amounting to nearly i.tOO.OM
bushels on both coasts. Tho situation was
regarded ns very unpromising, and longs
made a general effort to unload. With sharp
competition among sellers, the decline was
casv and rnoid. The vigoroirs selling of De
cember by Annour.Broseau and Councilman
and Day, and tho decline in that month,
also helped to weaken Maj. December fell
to 6 c discount, which 1j the largest dis
count yot. Much long wheat was dislodged,
and particularly some big lots held by New
York. The market recovered a little on tho
liberal buying by Partrioge, who took ad
vantage of the break to cover short wheat
and take in iiroflts, but prices turned weak
again during the last hour 011 free sales, and
the close was at the bottom figures of the
A Sioux City telegram says that "the
grain blockade in Nebraska and Sonth Da
kata is becoming worse daily and now ex
ceeds anything or tho kind over suffered.
Elevators filled to bursting uointnnd va
cant buildings of all sorts being pressed
into the service."
Corn was eay on the colder weather
-which was expected to stimulate the inte
rior deliveries and probably start the new
corn to market. The small estimated re
ceipts sent the maruet up some during the
List hour, but weakness again set in near
the end. . ,
Hog products opened lower on the re
ported big receipts of hogs, bui later thore
was a good recovery on the assurance that
the receipts lor tno day had been over
estimated. , .
' .Freights were slow. A moderate amount
t
of vessel room was offered, but agents were
slow to accept the rates bid. Shippers only
wanted to pay 2c for wheat and 2c lor com
to Buffalo.

LOCAL AND GENEEAL FINANCIAL NEWS
Wednesday, Nor. 23.
Pittsburg and Birmingham traction con.
tinued to lead the list in strength to-day,
followed by Citizens traction, and Phila
delphia Company was most prominent for
weakness, but aside from the course of
these shares and fractional losses in
Dnquesne traction and Westinghouse Elec
tric the market closed at about Tuesday's
final prices. The demand for P. & B. and
Citizens tractions was quite sharp and from
the best sources, but apparently there was
considerable stock for isle at the advance
and those under the market for these
shares held oft somewhat, evidently
with the intention of keeping prices down
until their orders were filled. At the
close, however, a farther adyance seemed
to be a certainty after tho holiday. Phila
delphia Company was affected by continued
reports of a shortage of gas In some sections
of the city, and while there was no special
pressure to sell a continuance or the decline
a half point or so would not surprise very
many people. At the last call one of the
brokers who wonld probably be surprised
at such adeollne showed his faith in the
stock bv offering to bet that it had seen
bottom at 2 It cannot go very much
lower befoie it will be supported by
those who have used it as collateral. There
was continued strength in Luster, steadi
ness in Union Switch and Signal and Air
brake, but everything else was without
change worthy ot notice. The character of
the general inquiry was accepted as indicat
ing a greater degree or activity a little later
on.

J. P. Henderson, D, V. C. BIdwell, Alex

ments were made: Charles R. Fenderioh,
Sooretarv nnd Tieasurer; William B. Cle
ment, toiler; John A. Wilson, attorney.
A report was current in Wail street to
day that $600,000 gold had been withdrawn
from the Fourth National Bank for export,
but it was subsequently stated that it was
"not for export to Europe. None of the
houses who usually ship gold know of any
engagement for export, and the report of
shipments by Saturday's steamers, it is be
lieved, were started lor speculative effect."
Being asked about the reported capture of
his road by Mr. Ives, President Saul, of the
Ohio Southern, says Ives owns no stock in
the road, and Directors George H. Frey, of
Springfield, Ohio, and Mills W. liorse. of
Buffalo, substantiate his statement.
The New York PosVs financial cablegram
Eays: ''Investment stocks were better to
day. Speculative markets were depressed
on realizations of Baron Beinach's holdings
of Canadian Paciflc Hallway and other
stocks. A rumor was clroulated that Rein
ach i not dead but has disappeared, bilver
was better on account of outside specula
tion and the reduction of the visible supply
in America."
Capitalists and their investing agents ox-
press themselves almost unanimously
against the New York Rapid Transit Com
mission's underground railway plan, saying
the outlay is so enormous and the prospect
of a' satisfactory return on the investment
is so slight that investors will not be in
clined to take the risk. The cost of building
the road is variously estimated at from
$60,000,000 to $100,000,000.
Arrangement-! are being made for a meet
ing of the presidents of all the Southeastern
lallroads, in Atlanta, on December 8, to take
formal action with regard to the direct
trade project from Southern ports, and to
consider what facilities for transportation
and what traffic rates can beglven to induce
a sufficient nmount of traffic to supply a lino
of steamships running from a Southeastern
port to Liverpool and other European ports.

POULTRY MOST ACTIVE,
But There Is a Good Business Passing In
All Branches of Trade Coffee Advanced
Again nnd Grain Stronger Creamery
Batter Marked Down.
"Wednesday, November 23.
Preparations for Thanksgiving Day have
been conducted on a liberal scale, which,
with the movement of staples and seasona
ble clothing, etc., gave to the markets this
week to date an appearance of unwonted an
imation. More attention was paid to poul
try, game, cranberries and kindred stuff to
day than to anything else, but supplies
were heavy and prices were barely steady as
a rule. In a general way business is moving
along satisfactorily, the conditions govern
ing the movement and tho course of values
being better than at any previous time this
year.
Roasted coffee was again advanced to-day,
a half cent being tacked on to previous quo
tations. The statistical situation is a very
bullish one, and higher prices are a cer
tainty. The discovery has Just been made that the
wheat ciop of Minnesota and tho Dakotas
arc many millions or bushels above all esti
mates. Grain men do not know just what
to think of the situation. They are all at
sea regarding what they are to expect.
They have been estimating the crop nt from
85,000,000 to 105,000,000 bushels for the three
big wheat States, but they are all beginning
-to hedge now. Those who have put the fli;
uro at 100,000,000 have added from 10,000,000
to 20,000,000, and those who figured higher
than that originally have gone up as high
as 130,000,000 or more.
