from Wall Street.


from Wall Street.
NEW YORK, November ia brilliant
autumn day, crisp air, bright sunshine, good
bank statement, favorable railway returns and
bull market That is to-day's record. The
market was firm through the early dealings in
everything save cotton oil, which is friendless
waif just now, and kicked by former friends
and foes alike. The trust is in state of chaos
at the moment, with no permanent form OF or
ganization and no stable executive manage
ment, but it will soon emerge from its present
condition and new men will take hold and push
its fortunes Therefore we say that upon any
further drive at the stock we should consider it
purchase 1t looks to us as If it was on the
bargain counter.
The Grangers were not uniformly progress
siVe. Rock Island was very strong on talk Of
an important increase in its earnings. but Sc.
Paul Jagged behind while Chicago. Burlington
and Quincy and Northwest made no notable
change. Chicago traders are more bullish on
the Grangers, and the bear party is not SO ag-
gressive as 1t was. Big earnings are impress
ing the public with an Increasingly hopeful ex-
pectatiOn as to stock values, and we may yet
run into greater activity and rapidly rising
values. There is however, no indication thata
vOracious appetite for stocks mas been whetted
by the statistical display of the railways, but
bulls hope that hunger will yet seize the public.
Union Pacific was the banner stock to-day, and
1t has the prospect of going up several points
early next week. tOfG worth and Denver
securities are all up on the alliance recently
made between that road and Union Pacific, and
further advance is confidentiaily expected.
Tennessee Coal and Iron continued its mex
pltcabl0 upward flight, almost touching 20,
while the preferred stock and the per cent
first mortgage bonds are only % points higher
than this common stock.
Missouri Pacific was not in good form to-day,
and Richmond Terminal, too. failed to respond
to the improving temper of speculation.
The coal stocks were strong. but didn't go up
much. The idea is being cultivated that the
boom in iron and steel must vastly benefit the
coalers, but this is limited The Western and
Southern furnaces and foundries all use coke
and bituminous coal. The general sentiment at
the close was bullish, and the bank statement
showing s, .0OO increase in reserve, was the
signal for freer bidding and higher prices. The
banks really have 5, $4,000 more money than a
week ago. Money is easily obtained at per
cent on proper collateral, but not below that
figure. Petroleum was neglected, bur. in our
Judgment, it is designed to sell much higher.

HUNTING WEAK SPOTS.
Bears Resume Their Old Tactics of HuRGius
Below the Belt-COttOn Oil Raid
ed-Final Prices Best

of the DaY.
NEW YORK, November I6-The stock mar
ket was active to-day, though the interest in
the trading was confined to a few of the lead
ing shares. The strength of yesterday was
continued, however, and almost everything
traded in was left at still higher figures than
yesterday The same tactics were pursued by
the bears, and, unable to stem the improving
tendency, they sought out weak spots with
which to make some effect upon the rest Of the
list.
Rock Island and Union Pacific proved to be
the bull cards of the day, and both were active
and decidedly strong, the former on large re-
turns officially reported from Chicago and the
splendid prospects of the company. Among the
specialties Ontario and Western was again con-
spicuous for both activity and strength, the
buying being supposed 20 have come from Van
derbilt sources. The opening was active and
firm, but the pressure brought on Cotton Oil
and Western Union by the bears checked the
improving tendency on the list with the single
exception of Rhode Island, which soon crossed
par.
Cotton Oil was raided down to 20 after the
first slight advance but Western Union yielded
only small fraction. The effort proved OF no
avail and the market became dull, while the
early losses we're quickly regained, with frac-
rions in addition. Union Pacific then came to
the front and sold up to 6e5E against $50 last
evening. The buying for both sides of the ac-
count became more pronounced after the issue
of the bank statement. which was put out to-
ward 11:45, and the last few minutes trading
was the most active of the session, while the
upward movement made most progress at that
time. The market closed active and strong at
the highest prices of the day. The list is al
most invariably higher tonight Tennessee
Coal is up 31z, Union Pacific IL, Rhode Island
l9k and Ontario and Western 1H.
Railroad bonds we're comparatively dull, the
sales for the two hours amounting to only
$500, 600 The market was steady to firm, but
the only feature was the Toledo, Ann Arbor
and North Michigan lists. which scored gain
of IL per cent, to 1867. The sales Of bonds for
the week were s., $4,000, against sos, 900 for
last week, which, however, contained only i've
business days.
