New York, Nov. 2S.-The week opened
with rather dull and uninteresting con-
dition of affairs al the stock exchange The
movements were extremely cratic through
out the fseAsion and speculation was with
out a decisive tone, being under complete
control of the room traders. The early
cables from London reporting lower quo
| tationS for American securities there and
an advance in the posted rates of sterling
exchange occasioned disappointment be-
| tween the bulls. Sufficient buying orders
were placed in various parts Of the list to
| bring about a rise of n to Is per cent. right
at the start. The Improvement, however
was short-lived, owing to the unfavorable
| character of the October statement of the
| Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Com
pany and because of a second advance Of

to $4.s4 and A.S71z. The leading stocks
