MONDAY. Nov. PIP. ~
| Whatever the future course of values at tho
Stock Exchange may be- the movements or to-day
should surprise 10 one As was suggested, the re-
coyery in prices Saturday was too sharp to be fully
maintained For the present. at least. both great
and small operators likely to be coniented with
small profits and the advance of Saturday showed
the BUYERS at Fridays lowest figures profits that
were too tempting not to be realized. Moreover,
the movements of the leading operators. as well as
their intentions. are shrouded ia deep
mystery, and the average holders OF stocks
are easily moved to sell If the market ls
not held up to straining point all the time At
the opening this morning prices were still higher
aud further small advance was made in the early
business. but the market as yet Is too limited to
continue TO rise over night and all day also. So
after the first eagerness to buy had been satisfied.
there was a feyerish and unsettled feeling for the
remainder of the day, which was not dissipated by
the closing figures; these a rule. the lowest
of the day Yet there are only nine stocks whose
losses from the last prices of Saturday exceed
per cent. but from the highest prices or
the day the losses of majority OF the
list exceed that figure For instance, Erie
preferred which closed Saturday at G9li, to-day
opened at II. to II y and declined to 674 and
Delaware Lackawanna and Western, which shows
loss of only d per cent from Saturday, suffered
loss of per cent from the highest price, because it
opened at 81, against S23i Saturday ANA declined
to S15sG 3d.
The business of the day amounted to 451,Gs0
shares against 554.4 .459 shares SATURDAY. A month
ago the figures of to-day considered very
heavy for one days transactions. Erie. as usual
now, was conspicuous for the large proportion Of
the total business which il monopOlzed, but 1t also
was noteworthy for its fluctuations Its first price
was 3si2 against 3Sls Saturday night after which
it sold up to 80, aud finally, after frequent
and wide fluctuations, at 357s. Lake Shore
seemed to be adversely affected by the suit against
the company for 81 900 900, brought ~ the Attor-
ney-General OF Michigan for taxes claimed to be
due to that State. But the effect only to pre-
vent any advance in ITS price above the closing fig
urcs of Saturday, and perhaps TO make the trading
in il dull. Its price only yielded from 1O3 TO 1928
early, but later were weak and lost more than rhe
advances of the early business. The coal stocks
opened with sharp advances; Delaware, l.aeka-
wanna and Western was mp "a per cent at 81 Del
aware and Hudson 2ls per cent at 773i, and New
Jersey Central l per cent at IS4. AZ
these figures the buyers OF Friday had
which, made in so short time, are sufficiently
large to tempt the most sanguine operator TO
make them real Therefore a reaction of from TO
per cent from their prices should have been ex-
pccted. The Western aud Southwestern stocks
were as steady as any, but they all, after an early
stocks generally were dull and comparatively
steady. Pacific Mail advanced fIom 295s TO 3Ols.
and then declined to 2si2 The transactions in the
stock amounted only to Is, 200 shares, of which q
n leading operator and a recent friend of the stock
is credited with buying 10000 shares.
