NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

NEW YORK, November 2s.-High prices
for American securities In London,
brought about by the favorable October
statements Of the St. Paul and Buriing-
ton Companies. led TO a very strong OPEN
ing OF the stock market here this MORN
ing. Before the rise had made much
Roadway. however, Sugar broke from IS
to s25s, and this aided the bears to make
raids on other stocks. Prices yielded
u to rs per cent, Distlllers'. General
Electric, and Chicago Gas leading.
1t was notable that despite the efforts
to break the market very little long
stock came out. on the contrary. the
bulls were confident, and put in buying
orders in sufficient number to turn the
list upward again. They were influenced
by the absence Of pressure TO sell for
outside account, as well as the continued
ease in money. The latter has led to
demand for investment purposes Of no
mean proportions, and this has encour-
aged the pools In various speculative
stocks to stand by their favorites.
In the upward movement that followed,
Chicago Gas was the special card. Under
free purchases by prominent houses the
price advanced from G6 to S. and the rise
was accompanied by rumors that the d.
doctors had decided to pay their next
dividend in cash instead OF scrip. AL
though deniais were plentiful, a number
Of traders bought the stock for a turn.
Western Union, under manipulation by
S. V. White, advanced from 90h 10 9lh,
and the shorts covered freely. New Eng
land sold up 1ss; Missouri Pacific, IL;
Distillers', rs; General Electric, r. and
Louisville and Nashville, x. The Gran
gers were hardly as firm as the stocks
mentioned, and yielded easily under pres

Taken altogether, speculation was strong

sharp and successful attack was made on
