New York. Nov. 2.-The tendency of
prices at the Stock Exchange during the
early session was upward. London cables
came higher, and 1t was stated that the
fortnlghtly settlement there had disclosed
a considerable short interest in Ameri-
cans In consequence, foreign houses
were moderate buyers of st. Paul and
Louisville and Nashville at the opening
here. Sterling exchange, which has ruled
| decidedly strong for the past few days,
weakened and posted rates were reduced
1ac to $4.sSh and $4s7. The weakness of
the exchange market was ascribed to the
easier condition of money in London. Lo-
caly money was even in better supply
| than Of late, Isolated transactions in call
loans having reported as low as i per
cent. THESE favorable influences COM
PEELED some of the smaller shorts to cover,
and advances ranging from u to 2 per
| cent. were recorded. In the upward move
ment, the high priced issues, Great North
ern preferred, Lake Shore and CONSOLE
| dated Gas were most conspicuous and
moved up 1913 per cent. In the afternoon
session the bears were more aggressive
and part Of the advance In the general
list was lost. United States Leather pre-
ferred was the particularly weak spot,
the stock falling from 66Is to 62lk. The
decline was due to disappointment at the
action of the directors in declaring a divi-
dend of only / per cent. on the preferred.
