Speculation quiet and weak.
New York, Nov. 19.-Speculation at the
stock exchange was tame throughout the
session. Save in the case of a few stocks
the movements were utterly devoid of in
terest, resulting almost entirely from ma
nipulation by room traders. Although
little encouragement was received from
London at the opening and sterling ex-
change ruled strong at s4S3Gi4.S6Iz. the
bulls managed to keep the stock market
firm during the first hour of business. The
difficulty experienced in shaking out hold
ers of long stocks caused some OF the bears
and hold-out bulls to temporarily desist in
their raids upon the market. The fact
that a better feeling existed as to the Gu
ban situation also tended to strengthen
the list. An advance of 4 to Is per cent
was recorded, General Electric rising tx
per cent, Manhattan. Tennessee Coal. and
Lead preferred IA per cent, and other
shares X TO Y per cent. The buying pow
err, which was not great at any time, soon
had its iii and during the afternoon spec
ulatlon became weak, the early improve
ment being almost entirely lost. The
weakest stock was Sugar. which declined
from 1881 to 1853 and the marketing of
stock by insiders was again In evidence.

price of refined Sugars helped to weaken
