STOCKS WERE FIRMER
On Intimations That No Gold Would
Go Out This Week.
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.

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.

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. There has, however, been
no actual concession in quotable rates, al
though there undoubtedly will bo unless
some contraction occurs in the supply of
loanable funds.

TRADE RATHER SLOW.
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.
Dealer" are not looking for any advance at
Elgin, but the market is strong and a slight
advance would not surprise them very
much.
