The stock market at the opening to-day
presented a much more quiet appearance
than on saturday. A day Of rest had appa-
rcuty calmed the excited brokers who had
lost their heads on Saturday oyer the trou-
hlos OF Barring Brothers n Co. No one eX-
pcctcd particularly cheerful indications on
the street to-day, but IL was hoped that
more resistance would be developed 10 the
downward issues. When the market opened
this resistance was very apparent, and the
feeling grew moro buOyant as the day wore
on. Although the early adyices from
London were reassuring, and prices for
American securities were = 10 per cent.
higher, the market here opened heavy,
with "A majority Of stock from = TO ~ per
cent. lower than on Saturday, with an ex-
ccptional decline OF per cent. on Edison
general electric stock, which fell 10 80.
Soon after the opening Of the stock EX-
change the failure Of the firm Of
Randall a Wicrum was announced.
Their Liabilities are small, and II
was followed closely by the suspension
of the firm of Gregory, BallOu a Co. The
liabilities Of the firms were placed at $780,
O1l each, but they may be less. These fail
urcs had further weakening effect on
prices. and I'M the first half hour there was
a further decline OF y 10 , per cent, making
the extreme decline from Saturday a 10 81
per cent. In the second half hour there was
decided change. and before IL O'Clock prices
recovered II 90 ~ per cent. from the early
loss figures. In the hour Of noon the market
was very dull, but prices for most Of the
LIST continued firm. The strength OF the
market here was no doubt mainly due 10
private adyiccs received from prominent
AND conservative banking-houses abroad.
Ou. private cable from "a London banking
nm stated that the condition OF
affairs there had greatly improved; that
special inquiry had shown that no other
house. besides that Of the Earrings was in
trouble. and, IN fact, none was even talked
ul lu the afternoon the market was firm
and higher, and there WAS entire absence OF
excitement. Confidence seemed TO be
steadily ON the increase and at the close
prices were at or near the best figures ofthe
day. The advance for the day ranged from
TO- per cent, and nearly every stock
ou the list participated. The sales amounted

CHICAGO, Nov. lis. y. White n Co.
telegraphs c. W. Branch ~ CGSas follows:
Wheatthas been exceedingly nervous all
day, with a wide range Of fluctuations.
Fears Of renewed troubles seemed TO hang
over the market early, and the crowd were
quick 10 seize the slightest indication of
any bad news TO sell on; the result was
market difficult to execute orders satisfac-
tOrily. The close is firm, and the fact is
gradually dawning on our traders that
wheat has had more Of a break than the
natural sympathy between stocks and grain
warranted, and hence bears appear less az
gressive than for a week back. The facts
remain, however, that receipts continue
liberal, money abnormally tight, and the
December contracts must soon be cared for.
and consequently the trade is i'm poor con-
ditiOn for bull term. However we think
the the restoration Of quiet in financial cir
Giles will be felt in wheat quickly, and when
that time comes long wheat will show a
better profit than short. Corn and oats have
been bulled up and held up so long on SEN
timeut that it's hard 10 tell what may be
done in the near future but the end will sec
lower prices for both.
