NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

New York, November 30.-The stock
market was very dull IN the main, but
the circumstances showed considerable
strength, and the dulness was in great
measure due TO the scarcity of stocks for
sale, the only sellers of note being bearish
traders. and to some extent the foreigners
thought the offerings Of the latter we're
well covered up. There is no other expla-
nation of the strength of foreign exchange
in the face of the enormous trade balance
now being rolled up in our favor.
THE OPENING WEAK.
The opening Of the market was weak
under the influence of these offerings, and
first prices were generally from Is 70 g
per cent. lower than Saturdays final hg-
ures, those losses being supplemented by
further declines in the early trading,
which brought the extreme losses up TO
nearly l per cent. The discovery that the
complications arising from the Field, Lind
ley, Wiechers Il Co. failure were largely
exaggerated, and the announcement that
the Union Pacific would tsde up the bonds
which were in the hands of innocent par
ties, added to the good feeling.
TURN UPWARD.
Later in the day there was renewal OF
the good buying of Nanderbllts, and this
movement gave the whole list an impetus
which had the effect of changing every
thing, making the shorts run somewhat.
Among the strongest stocks was Wheeling
and Lake Erie. The strong features OF the
day, however, were the Industrials, ospe-
cially Chicago Gas and Distillers, and the
former is the only stock which finally
scored q material improvement over Its
last weeks price. Other commercial in
yestment securities are again being placed
upon the market and are meeting with
good demand demand. Commlssion-houses
also continue to receive large investment
orders but are unable TO fill them owing to
the scarcity of securities in the market.
EASY MONEY AHEAD.
Evidences accumulate daily that there Is
long period Of easy money ahead and
that investors are getting anxious about
placing their funds where they will bring
good returns. The strength OF the Indus
trials was most marked in the forenoon,
and Chicago Gas rose 21s per cent. alter its
early loss, and Distillers rallied 1Hc. The
Vanderbilts show very brilliant gains,
Lake Shore rising IA, and Canada South
ern and Omaha reaching per cent. up.
The tone of the dealings became almost
buoyant on the stimulus OF the new buy
ing movement. and everything shared In
the upward turn.
THE CLOSE QUIET BUT FTRN.
The market finally closed quiet but firm,
generally at something better than first
prices, and most of the active stocks to-
night show small gains for the day. not
withstandlng the setback in the forenoon.
The gam of Chicago Gas, however, of "a
per cent, Is the only one of Importance.
The sales Of listed stocks aggregate $4,000
shares of unlisted, 6.O0O.
