INDUSTRIALS LEAD IN STRENGTH And Some of the Fpecialties Score Pro nounced Gains. THE GENERAL MARKET CLOSES WEAK New York, Nov. 28. The stock market taken all together was somewhat firmer than on Saturday. "While a majority of the railways closed practically unchanged from Saturday's final qnotations, the market for those securities showed more recuperative power than on that day. Several sharp at tacks were made at intervals and at the loweit figures the decline was equal to J li per cent. Subsequently New England advanced from 4142, and the remain der of the list improved i P cent The rise was due, as much as to anything else, to tho fact that bankers who usually ship gold expressed themselves as being in doubt as to whether any large amount of the yellow metal will be forwarded to Europe by this week's steamers. Just previous to tho close prices reacted Hy lrom the highest. Tho industrial croup was strong, espe cially Sugar, Distilling and Cattle Feeding and Lead, wbich advanced 11 per cent. All of these closed firm except Sugar, which reacted to Saturday night's once. Among ttie specialties, Evans villo advanced S to 14'. reacted to 143, and closed nt 117. General Electric was stronger than tor some days past and advanced from 104 to lllj-f. Colorado Fuel and Iron common and Colo rado Coal and Iron development stocks which aro to be exchanged for Colorado Coal and Iron and Colorado Fuel, under the terms of consolidation of the two last named, wcro traded in lor tho first time to day. Colorado Fuel and Iron opened at 65, declined to C3J, and railed to 61. Colorado Coal and Iron development opened nt 25,and later sold up to2GJ. Tlie old Colorado Coal and Iron was strong rind in demand, selling up from 40 to 4IJ, and closing at 40J. The general market closed rather weak. Railway bonds were irregular. The total sales were $997,000. Minneapolis nnd St. Louie equipment declined four to 111Q112. Government bonds closed as follon a : V. S. 4s. rcg 114',' V. S. 4s. coup 11- Mutnsl Union 6s 110 N. J. C.

From Sproul & Co.'s market letter: The market to-day was so strict! v pro fessional and narrow that little significance need be attached to it. As a net result prices are a shade better; the effect of a slight relaxation in the selling pressure and an equally limited tendency to cover shorts. The silver conference and the tact that a proposition for the purchase of about $25, 000,000 of silver annually bv the Govern ments of Europe has emanated lrom a Brit ish delegate attracted attention, but did not influence speculative feeling. Silver, how ever, continued to show strength. Tho most positive factor in the market was the ab sence of any gold engagements, though bankers state that shipments of specie would not in any event De made till the close of the week. Tne fact, however, seemed to check the activity of the bear traders and may be responsible for the lljht covering wnich caused the advances. The chier activity, to call it by that title, was in the Industrials, which wero manipulated with more or less vigor.

BIG ADVANCES In TTheat and Frovisions Corn and Also Higher. Oats Chicago, Nov. 28. AVheat advanced nearly a cent to-day. Tho Impression seemed to be that prominent traders in provisions had paid more attention to wheat of late than to hog product and that there might bo an effort to give "shorts" a squeeze. Eealizing sales' reduced tho gain In prices to Jc at the close. Corn closed JiJc higher than on Saturday. ProvIlons were buoyant. Com pared with Saturday night, pork is up 4Cc, lard 25c and ribs 20c Wheat was strong almost from the start, notwithstanding the n-ceipts in the North west wero heavy 1.799 cars, against 1,739 for the corresponding day last year and cables were easier. Becelpts at all primary points were large, and though the increase in tho visible supply was not so large as for some weeks past, it still showed a gain or nearly 1.250,000 bushels, bringing the stocks up to 71,000,000 bushels, larger than ever known before In tbe face ot this the market sold steadily up. The firmness seemed to be due to tho sharp advance, in the provision mar ket and to teports most industriously ciicu lated that Cudahy. Wright and other pro vision operators bad turned to the bullish side of wheat nnd were heavy Duyers. Late In the dav Linn sent bullish news from Southern Illinois regarding wheat. Champ. Un brought similar reports from Kansas, Northeast dispatches reported a sudden drop in receipts at country elevators.though other dispatches wet e of a different tenor. Corn was influenced by the strength in wheat and provisions. There was not much for sale and as shorts were nervous nnd dis posed to cover sellers had the advantage. Another strengthening factor was the de crease in the visible snpply, and tbe rains over the Sontbwest were expected to check tbe shipments of new corn. A fair business was conducted In oats with options closing a fraction higher. Provisions scored a good advanco the first hour, but It looked as if the upward move ment was a temporary bulge. Later the buy ing was renewed and the highest prices of the year were made on pork, w hlle ribs and lard wero again put to fancy figure. Tlio advance was not tho result of news from the yards this time, but to open buying on a large scalo by the Cndahy-Wrlght brokers. There was a reaction or about 20c lrom the high points, but there was another swirl to ward tho end which took everything to the top again. Freights were slow; shippers bid 2 for corn to Buffalo and paid per cent for corn to Ogdensburg. Cash quotations were as follows: Flour dull nnd nominally unchanged.

DULL DAY ON CHANGE Only Three Small Transactions the Kegular Daily Calls. NO IMPORTANT PBICE CHANGES, But the List, With Ono Or Two Exceptions, Continues Weak. LOCAL AND GEXEE Hi FINANCIAL NEWS Monday, Hov. 28. There was no market for local securities to-day worthy of the name. Three small transactions occurred on 'change; no offico business was transacted, bo far as learned; there was neither any noticeable inquiry fqr nor eagerness to sell anything on the list, and in the main quotations on the ac tive shares closed about where they did Saturday, though what tendency there was was toward a lower range "of prices. Pitts burg and Birmingham traction 5s sold at 100, closing at that price asked, and Philadelphia Company sold at . 21, closing at 20?21. These were the only transactions and they were about the only features. AVesting house Electric second preferred closed at 37 asked and the scrip nt 01 asked. Duquesne traction closed at 272S; do 5s at 100 and in terest; P. & B. traction, 21K25; do 5s, 100; P., A. & JI. traction, !SKH- Westinghonse Alrbral.-e was a little weaker at 130132 nnd Union Snitch and bignal common was le-s strong. The latter closed officially at 19K1! but alter the close it was quoted atj9ji Luster was fractionally lower at 9&i!6, and the best bid' for .Pleasant Valley was ili. Citizens traction was quite as firm as anything on the list at 6263, though P. & B. traction was still very stiong as quoted above. Should Slake Money Easier. According to the Philadelphia Stockholder the piesident of one of the leading banks of that city made the somewhat anomalous but nevertheless correct point on Saturday that the agitation about the export of gold would at the present time have undoubtedly ai very netceDtible tendency to mako the available supply of money more abundant and rates consequently easier. It will, us nil scares ol the kind alwais do, mako pe plo hesitate about increasing their obligations. Inlact, it Induces them to curtail business ob ligations in every way possible, and defer en gaging in now enterprises. Moreover, it con tracts speculation 01 all kinds, and thus re moves lor the time beinir a source of active demand for money, bo for, every dollar of diminution in the supply ot money by tho loss ot gold by cxpoit, the demand is cur tailed to the extent of several dollars. A feature of the loc&l financial situation, says the same journal, has been the more abund ant supply of money during the pas t few days. Several of tho leading banks and trust companies have been importuning houses in the street that requite consider ablu money at this season to take large amounts on time.

A Light Demand and Gloomy Weather Make Monday Unusually Blup Grain Firm and Higher and Other Staples About Unchanged. Monday, Nov. 28. Business was dull and featureless in wholesale mercantile lines to-day, the usual Monday quietude being intensified by the gloomy, threatening weather. Grain con tinued to show strength, but other staples were unchanged. The butter market continues in a very active condition, receipts of Choice quality lor some time past not being up to .require ments. Especially is this the case with creairerv, which has a steady demand at impro vieg prices. Fancy country and dairy goods also wanted, with present indications favoring a higher range ere long. Live chickens are good stock now and so are ducks, but there is little or no call for turkeys and geese. The market last week was overstocked with dressed poultry. Con siderable was leftover, and at present there is no demand Cabbage continues to come In pretty freely, but good solid stock finds ready buy ers on arrival; large quantities are still wanted, and liberal shipments should be made now while weather is favorable. Onions in gdod supply; demand not so active as is usual at this season, still a tair trade is being done ana prices holding steady. Fancy, well bleached celery has a good movement, receipts liberal, but prices unchanged. Winter vegetables of all kinds carrots, turnips parsnips, etc have a good movement at prices noted when of choice quitliW- Game in pietty good snpply to-dav, bnt choice lines of all descriptions is finding a good sale at prices quoted. Demand will con tinue good for all desirable lines that reach herein attractive 'shape and for such full prices may be rolled upon. An excellent demand for good sound hay of all varieties provalls. No. 1 timothy, olover.timothy and clover mixed and upland Erairie is quite active, and good No. 2 sells etter than In provious years, but the low grades are hard to dispose of, as heretofore.
