New York. Nov. 16.-Business at the
stock exchange to-day was on a very
small phgnRae n
which occurred were due entirely to the
operations of half dozen or so profess
sional traders, In stocks only l66OOO
shares changed hands, while the transac-
tions in bonds fell to 81, ,099 600 The market
was enliVened at one time by drop In the

Sugar was less active and ranged between
S6B and 8S9s. There was some selling of
the stock on confirmed rumors that a re-
duction in the dividend rates was contem-

the gyration in this specially. Chicago
Gas and General Electric were a shade
easier, but the dealings in them were on a
small scale. The Importation of gold by
the Bank of British North America had
no influence. Opinion was divided as to
whether this gold had been imported in
connection with the new government loan
or that recently placed by the Dominion of
Canada in London. \ report that Rap
heals of London had authorized John z.
Dospassos to fight the Earle-Olcott Read
ing reorganization plan hurt that stock
