Little Change in the Market-Prices Advance Slightly and Then Decline.

 Advance Slightly and Then Decline. NEW YORK, November IA. In the first hour the short interest bought a few stocks and prices rallied fractionally. When this support withdrawn prices fell off again, closing irregular, but generally at loss. There is still short interest of respectable proportions in the market, as a comparison of business dur ing and since last weeks bear raid will show. In many quarters it has had to cover at an apparent loss. In the coal stocks there has doubtless been profit to the bear operators. The statement has been made by one or two financial writers that there was no short interest there, which is absurd, as the loan market of the last few days would show. Probably there is enough short stock outstanding to create good demand next week, barring unfavorable news. But it is alto gether professional, and can excite only Ian guid and personal interest as indicating whether the room operators are making a living out of this market not.
