NEW YORK, November 23.-The stock mar

brokers at the Eastern sports, was quies to dull
to-day, and the fluctuations as q rule were
slight and without significance. The bears re-
newed their attack upon Reading with but
poor success, and Louisville and Nashville and
some of the specialties felt the influence Of the
pressure brought to bear.
The market displayed . firm undertone
throughout, and after the issue Of the bank
statement, which was published earlier than
usual, and was regarded as favorable, there
was covering of shorts on liberal scale, and
the upward movement which followed was very
pronounced Outside of Reading and Atchfson
there was little interest in the stocks Of the
usually active list, though the Northern Pa
son was strong on the seIni-official statements
that the success Of the reorganization plan
would be announced to-day, but like all the
active stocks its final gain was insignificant.
The center OF interest in the regular list was

active for all three classes of stock on the be-
lief that the Vanderbilt -Drexel-M Morgan inter-

and Dullnesa.
The oil market yesterday presented the same
dull and uninteresting features which had
characterized it the previous days of the week.
The only strength it had was furnished by
shorts covering, giving the bulls chance to
run up prices. 1t was pykers' market, pure
and simple, outsiders taking no hand in it.
Elements of weakness were decline in re-
fined at Antwerp and reports OF good field
prospects in the new district near Shanopin
The market opened at I09sS highest II0L
lowest I095S closing ll01S. Fridays cIearances
were zoo, 900 barrels. ClearanceS for the week
were 3,55S00O barrels The feeling at the close
favored stronger and more active market this
week.
A Washington, Pa, telegram was to the fol-
lowing purport: The Clark well which sur
prised the trade by coming in with boom has
Increased its production to Is barrels per hour
One of the peculiar features connected with
the striking of this well, is the fact that the
Grayson well, in this territory, which was dry
and had been abandoned, commenced flowing
and is now considered a fair well. Knox No.
20 the McKown gusner, is reported to have in
creased its production from % to So barrels per

The reports from Warrington that the Stoner
well and the oil fields thereabouts had been
abandoned are without foundation Four wells
are now drilling in that field and good results
are expected when the drill strikes the sand.
