THE MARKET IMPROVING
Statements of Railroad Earnings
Very Encouraging to Investors.
Heavy Grain Movement In the West
Consolidated Gas, Sugar and
Om ha Strong Features.

New York, Nov. ia decided increase
in the valuations occurred over the list OF
stocks today. The buying represented both
long and short account. Commission house
business on the purchasing side showed an
Increase, and at least one large operator
was rumored TO have been a considerable
accuIn;lator OF stocks in the dealings OF the
| nornjng.
Suen statements of railroad earnings as
came TO hand We're nearly all of 4 very
encoura ging character Among them was
tie remarkable one OF the Erie system for
the quarter ending September 30, showing
an increase in gross earnings, compared
with the sa me period last year of 81 ,0G0,-
4i3, an increase in net earnings of Sl39
9j4, ard an increasein surplus Of $209,299.
In lire with the favorable showing Of
railroad earnings is the continued heavi
ness Of the continued grain movement in
tie West and Northwest. Wheat receipts
in the three leaving points DuluJh, Mime
arolis and Chicago aggregated ,259 cars
today, against S75 on the corresponding
day last week, 1,031 last year, and ,l52
il 1896
Notably strong features of the list were
| Consolidated Gas, Sugar, Manhattan Con
soiitiateG and Omaha. Consolidated Gas
| received further advance on the reEewa!
on reports that negotiations We're again
| uirltr way looking 10 a consolidation Of
tn local gas companies. The granger
| shares were all very strong.
London quotations came at fractional
| al ances, with the cabled adyices repre-
| s. r.ting tfat the market for American
shares lad been ravorably affected by the
Pacific aspect Of the Spanish-A merican
situation. London houses on balance
| bought a moderate amount of stocks In the
| Local morket.
II the afternoon the market gradually
became less active, finally drifting into
duh condition. While prices yielded from
the highest, the undertone, however, re-
mained strong The market closed irreGu-
lar, but with a firm undeTtone.

Dun's review VIII say: All markets and
alIindustries are working toward the period
of Thanksgiving OF stock-tsking and OF
holidays. The payments through clearing
houses are for the month only % per cent
less than in 1892. The producing force
increase on the whole and many mann
facturers are unable to take all the orders
offered, while others are committed as
far ahead as they are willing to be. The
output in several great Industries is con
siderably the largest ever known, and
confidence in yet greater business next year
is undated
The excess OF merchandise exports over
imports in October made the balance Sl64,-

ance for gold and silver movement, there
still appears due this country Sl51 ,704.-

recent years and interest and dividends due

the small improvement in the tone Of the
stock market continued yesterday, though
there was no change in it's intense dullness
andin its entire control blythe professionals.
The news, while not striking or important
ia any way, was favorable rather than
unfavorable to the market yesterday.
There was no selling pressure. More or
less attention was paid TO the generally
good character Of the gross railroad earn
ineS for the second week or November and
more or less talk was made Of the eX-
pectation OF excellent net earnings for
October, which number OF roads VIII

liked by the street. On the whole it
would seem probable that there may be
two or three points advance next week,

Formally of the Courtesies BetweeA
the ship and the shore.
Among the other rules (Which are
practically internationaD governing sa-
lutes between vessel and port, are
that no salute may be fired between
sunset and sunrise, the usual hours be-
ing between eight q. m. and sunset, and
that, unless required by international
courtesy, there shall be no saluting on
Sunday. A ship displays at the main
when saluting the flag of the nation to
which she is extending the courtesy,
and flies the national ensign Of her own
country at the rear mast or from the
mizzen yard. Vessels of the United
States navy do not salute United States
ports. W@
If ship arrives at foreign port
after sunset, Us in the case OF the
French gun vessel Fulton, when she
came into the Narrows at ten o'clock
the other night, the salutes are fired
the first thing the next morning. +.
There is also a strict code governing
the exchange of calls of courtesy be-
tween the officers of a ship visiting a
foreign port and the officers OF the mill
itary or naval posts situated there. AS
soon as foreign ship has anchored in
this harbor a Suitable officer" is sent
from the Brooklyn navy yard and
another from Governors Island
with what are known as "offers
of assistance" = in reality formal
greetings from this country to the
visiting representatives of another.
This courtesy is Immediately returned
by call from the commander of the
ship, or some one of his officers whom
he may select, upon the commanding
officer at the navy yard and at Govern
or's Island. These, again, must return
this call within "a hours (the outside
limit of time within which all official
visits of the sort must be paid, thus
making a series of three visits between
the ship and the port Whether the
calls on either side shall be paid by the
commanders in person or by deputies
depends upon the respective ranks OF
the former. As general rule the Off
Ger in lower rank must always pay the
first call upon superior. In sending
a deputy, an officer is selected for the
duty whose rank corresponds as near
Ily as possible with that of the one upon
whom he is to call. To make a general
statement, it may be said that flag Off
GERS and commodores may expect re-
turn visit in person from foreign gov
ernors and other high civil, military
and diplomatic officials. Other com
handing officers of ships may expect
return visits to be made by an aid-de-
camp, or other suitable officer desig-
mated for that purpose.-N. Y. Tribune.
