NEW YORK, y. y, Nov. LIT was narrow
and professional market al the Stock Exchange
to-day The approaching elections and the ho-
day IN London added 70 the dulness and the COM
mission-houses as q rule were complaining Of the
utter lack of outside demand. Still the underton
decidedly was firm The frmness, in the face OF the
continued sterling exchange. the selling rates
being up in the top notch and reports that the
Bank OF England had raised is price for gold. is
due entirely the desire the pan of operators
10 even np their contracts. The big bears, it is
thought, took advantage Of the break here earlier
in the week, caused by the slump in the European
markets and the break in electric stocks IN Phtla-
delphla, but the smaller operators have still to

change no gold WIS taken for export. and ths lead
ing bankers rather Inclined 10 believe that none
will be forwarded week. It is 100 early, how
ever. 10 make predictions with my degree OF GER
tanUy. Evidently the bears placed very little
reliance in the repor,s Of gold exports and when
they could pick up stocks without advancing
prices materially they evened up their deals The
declaration Of the regular semtannual dividend by
the Pennsylvania road, and the splendid statement
Of the New \ ork Central for the September quar-
ter rate encouraged the bulls but did not lead to
important purchases. The transactions fell $4,000
shares below Yesterdays total and footed up only

ured for 1890 shares.
