! figures of the day. Compared with the
final sales of yesterday. the changes are
very slight, those of l per cent and
above being decline of TX in Della
ware, Lackawanna q Western and per
cent in Sugar preferred and Michigan

terial changes result from the transac-
lions of the week, the great majority of

The railway and miscellaneous bond
| market was unusually active today, and
the dealings were characterized by
strong tone. A brisk inquiry has been
developed during the weak for the hes
classes of railway bonds, and large
blocks have been taken out of the street
by investors. The issues which recorded
the most notable advances in today's
market are: Michigan Central As, per
cent: do 5S of 1891, 81: Lake shore di-
vision Is, 5; Pacific Railroad of Missouri
2ds, 2; Manhattan As cOnsols, u; Atch-
isun As. rs, and Pennsylvania AZ cou-
pons, l per cent. General Electric deb
enture IS declined l, and st. Joseph IL
Grand Island Grsts 219 per cent. In
view of the plethora of mouey the bond
market is attracting more attention than
usual, and the indications are that the
coming week will see active dealings in
this class of securities.
The Post says: The New York sur
plus bank reserve passed by today's
statement to the highest figure on rec
ord. Fifteen months after the May
panic of 1884 the reserve touched S64,-
.724, 100, the maximum for the year. To-
days huge increase brings the total up
to So, 470.475. The comparison is all
the more noteworthy in that so long a
period elapsed after the acute panic
period OF nine years ago before the
highest notch was reached. The shrink
age Ill the bank reserve, however, which
came in the later months of 1885, was
the sign of reviving activity in the COM
mercial and financial markets. This
summers panic was confessedly far
more severe than that of 1854. yet there
has thus far been much less than one
fourth the period of stagnatiOn which
was required before the last decades
complete trade revival.
1t has been very truly said that if the
trades of two or three professional op-
orators were eliminated from this
weeks market fully three-fourths even
of the present restricted business
would disappear. But what may safely
be concluded from today's transactions
is thatthe efforts of these active specu-
lators to force down prices heavily
have failed. Outside investors, as last
weeks market proved, are not prepared
to buy, but this weeks market has
proved no less effectively that they are
in no haste to sell.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1S.-The specula-

two hours of business today was tame
and without notable feature. At the
opening there was an advance of A@M
per cent, the latter in Louisville &
Nashville, which was strong on report
that the directors were negotiating for
the acquisition of another Southern rail
way property. A slight pressure to sell
in the early dealings changed the tone
of the dealings, and brought about re-
action of fraction in the general list
and of II in Sugar, upon which the
bears made sharp attack. This was
followed by recovery of I@% per

means stationary.
