New York, Nov. lZ-Less attention was
paid TO foreign news al the stock ex-
change today and even lower cables from
London had but a temporary influence on
the local share speculation. Operators,
generally speaking. have rclegated the
eastern qlesl ion to the rear and are more
concerned about the prospects or earn
iugs ~ home roads than for some time
pass Inc government crop report, just is
sued. has revived discussion about future
tranc receipts. and the opinion is almost
unanimous that the phenomenal yield Of
corn viii inure 10 the great beneht of the
railways, more especially the western
lines At any rate, the leading officials Of
these systems are talking in this strain
and their interviews have stimulated pur-
chases or stocks by capitalists who have
been out Of the market for months past.
The Granger roads are steadily increasing
their receipts. as IL is, and the earnings
promise % be something enormous when
corn begins 20 move freely. For October,
the northwest VIII probably show gain
or $1,000 for october and the Burllng-
Ton ana quincy, d ls SAID. is DONG almost
as Well The fact that sterling exchange
mas weakened enough TO prevent gold ship
mcnts tomorrow also had a good effect
on stocks There are stlu minors OF eN-
ports Of Ile metal on Saturday, but * is
uy no means sure that shipments viii be
made on that day, as cotton j. showing o
declining tendency. London was busy
with its fOrtnighty settlement, but the
foreigners found time TO buy a little ST.
