news, which was generally construed unfsvorably by
stock one, Atom, DC doubt had an efec. against the
marLe,-tu. il was pretty clearly established by the
..anssc.ions cf the day that previous conclusions
in reference to the character of the movements tor
several dayt' past were correct. Outsiders have 10
doubt taken some interest since the serious decline in
uapy Of the leading rtocks-but the support has
mainly come from few Of the prominent operators at
the Board. To make this successful, requires steady
and rerss,ept courage which has not been displayed,
although prices seem low enough on many OF the ac-
tive stock 10 attract speculative attention especially
at q period when money is 80 cay Of access Tor sucn
oreratlops Outsiders have been seriously alarmed
by the unsatisfactory returns Of our Railway Compa-
nies that they ere not likely to be the nitiators OF
movements for the rise, however tempting the low
figures established may appear. At the First Board
the opening sales Of New York Central were a, e5t
but the market gave signs Of weakness at once ana
the stock declined slowly during the call bringing mp
at the close rather heavy at ST. Hudson River, which
il next in order the printed list, was one OF the lie"
stocks which did not appear to ympathize IL the gen.
era beaviness Of the market selling at "a before the
call closed and closing in demand at the quotation,
with but moderate sales. The frInues in this partic-
ular stock is attributable to the gradual but steady
increase Of business, in contrast with tba, OF
other lines, accompanied by material re-
duction in the working expenses Of the road.
The receipts thus far in November show fair gain
and in December the prospects are good for q very
material increase from the probable earlier closing OF
navigation. large saving in expenses is anticipated
from the use Of Cumberland coal instead Of wood
experiments already made with several OF the engines
having satisfactorily demonstrated that the cost Of fuel
will thus be considerably diminished Every locomo-
tive on the road is to be supplied with coal-burnng
apparatus Reading bad q very steady market, but
was slightly lower in early transactions, recovering,
however Little tie call progressed The transac-
tons were not so large as usual In the Western
shares there was not much activity except for Rock
Island, which began at 62! but was in demand, and
improved in closing transactions, though not sustained
after the adjournment. A good share Of the
purchases probably for short account,
the bears having taken considerable lines in this
stock in consequence Of the unavorabe traffic returns
Michigan Central had fair degree of firmness, and
shows but slight decline from Wednesday quotations.
Michigan Southern common stock was dull and with
out material change, but the preferred fell of ! v
cent and was pressed for sale with considerable vgor
Gaena manifested decided heaviness throughout the
session. and the supply of cash stock was larger than
usual Illinois Central declined p cent, with small
sales. The Canadas quotations report sn advance of
about E cent in the English market, but the high
quotations from this eide had not yet been received
The City of Baltimore steamer, which was passed 10y
the Canada coming out Of Liverpool hsrbor, carried
intelligence of the discharge of the assignment Tie
material rise in this market followed that public
nouncement here. Pacific Mail had declining
tendency but was inactive. Sales at the
Secord Board were made down to 1913,
a decline of T. T. cent. A. the Second Board the
feeling was still rather heavy, and further decline Of
from to T. cent was submitted to in most Of the
prominent stocks. New-York Central went down to
s2I but was subsequently frmer and in demand at
S25 Harlem Preferred sold at 30l b 80, an advance
of over recent cash sales. The improvement orig
mates from the very satisfactory statement Of the six
months business which has just been made up, and
which we give in detail below. The Bond business
was TO fair extent during the day. and for State and
fsvorte railway securities there is well sustained
and rather increasing demand. Prices generally show
O small advance over quotations of Wednesday. Inc
