NEW YORK MARKETS.
The stock Exchange.

New York Nov. 9-The stock market
opened active and weak, with sharp re-
cessiOns in some Of the shares having an
international range. The SPECULATIVE tenn
per soon changed. and material gains were
noted In Sugar. Changers and others. The
distinct feature of the weeks speculation
has been continuous liquidation in the in
ternational railway stocks by European
holders and steadily declining prices. The
movement has been almoA entirely at
tribUted TO developments abroad, as many
Of the roads whose stocks have been al
fected show a handsome increase in their
current earnings. In railroad earnings no.
table increases have been exhibited by the
trunk lines. central Western and North
western properties. on the other hand,
material decreases continue TO be shown on
the Southwestern lines due very largely
TO the reduced cotton traffic. The heaviest
losses for the week are in the foreign arb!-

The New York FlnanCier says. The state
ment Of the associated banks of New York
city for the week ending November g. in
no wise reflects the actual conditions pre-
vailng during the six days covered. but
IL does show the narrowness Of the present
market for funds. According to the tabu-
lated statement the banks gained sl,1Sf.0o
IN cash The fact Of the matter is that the
banks lost enough money through the in
terror movement TO have partially offset this
increase. Not since May Il last have the
total loans been as low as reported last
week. and the contraction from the high
water mark Of So SOS. 500 reached on Sep
tember u. is about Sc 600. The loan
item. in fact. is back TO where Il was at
the first Of the year. Deposits now stand
at So s35. 500. a decrease of almost $49.-
ooe coo in two months.
