NEW YORK. Nov. Sat the opening OF business
on the Stock Exchange to-day a firm tone pre-
vailed and prices fractiOnay higher. The
strength of the market at this time due to the
Improvement of American securities In the Lon
don market and to fairly active buying for the
foreign account. New Jersey Central was an ex-
ception, opening "A lower and breaking n per
cent additional to 81 on sharp bear raid. The
depression in the stock did affect the rest OF
the market, and the frmneSs displayed induced
the shorts TO begin their covering movement per-
haps earlier than had been intended, for their
plans did not include keeping their lines out over
election day. The purchases for this account led
Denver ana Rio Grande preferred on London
buying, Central Pacific and Canadian Pacific Is,
wheeling and Lake Erie preferred, and 80 per
cent Pacific Mail and Laclede Gas.
A slight reaction followed which was of only
brief duration, and the upward movement was
resumed. Pullman sold up 312 TO l55. dividend

the election.
The bond market was somewhat irregular In the
early session. but in the afternoon there was de-
cdedly better tone TO the dealings, and prices ad

CHICAGO Nov. 5.-Stronger cables and better
foreign demand caused frmness in Wheat to-
day, December closing 7sc higher. Corn acted
weary aud slid down 14c for May. May Oats
closed unchan ged. Provisions were dull firm
and higher.
Wheat opened a shade easier ON the fear that
| Minneapolis stocks would show 100000 bushels
increase for the week, instead of $4,000. which
was expected. The bearIshness prevailing at the
| opening wore off under the stimulus OF some
confident buying by few prominent commfss ION
! houses. The market recovered the early slight
| losses and added much more in the shape or
gains after each trading was suspended in wait
The cable came strong and New York wired
that there was fair buying for foreign account
705 carloads to. day and Duluth 336. or 104l to-
Sether, compared with 1915 a year ago.
| J he visible disappointed the DulS, anu Wuen
enough returns were in to make the crowd rea-
| sonabiy sure the scalpers began TO relieve them
selves OF long wheat. and the price. which had in
the meantime been as high as 54Ssc for De-
| cember, sold off again to 53Ac, and May,
w 5it reached o85s@5ss4, worked off TO
o8N@oSs4c. The increase was l,3S7,000 BUSH
els, but Instead of further decline the price be-
gan TO harden and ultimately he'd a higher
point IMAM on the early advance. The tone of the
auFlces from outside were in the ma strong.
