What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
9treet

NEW YORK. Nov. 2s.-The latter part
of the day showed an improvement IN
business on the stock exchange In the
volume Of transactions and the increase
of values over those recently prevailing.
The standard railroad stocks, however
continued to be q good deal neglected, and
the movement of prices in them was very
narrow. The whole list was depressed dur
ing the early part of the day, under the
influence of lower prices for Americans
In London ana quite active selling here
for London account. This was especially
marked in st. Paul. and this stock failed
to recover at any time to Wednesdays
close. Its weakness was due to the Octo-
Der statement Of earnings, which showed
an increase of less than 5000. 50 far as
this statement bears on the general situ-
alton, 1t Is to be taken into consideration
that st. Paul's earnings last month were
the largest for the year. The later Inn
provement in the market left the railroad
list with net gains, but they were Of tho
narrowest In many cases. The chief m
terest in the market centersd in the spe-
cialties, and these all developed strength
before trading had been long In progress.
Manhattan was most conspicuous in the
dealings. and advanced quite steadily ana
strongly throughout the day. closing 1t

CHICAGO MARKETS
Yesterdays Transactions on the Board
of Trade

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Wheat started firm
at 71A092c for May and 96l&0l96N for De-
cember, compared with 91AM91s and 96h
respectively, at the close. The additional
strength came from an advance at Liver
pool of I'D. to begin with, added to the
effect Of cold wave prediction from the
signal service bureau. There was plenty
of bearsh news in circulation, and for
nearly an hour after the opening there
was moderate selling, with the tendency
of prices slightly downward for May. De-
cember. however, held firmly.
The Cincinnati Price Current estimated
that after December 1st there would still
be 100000,00O bushels available exportabie
surplus in this country. The Kansas crop
report said that he increase in that state
was 16 per cent. The Buenor Ayres corres-
pondent of the London Times estimated
that Argentine would have 81 500, 600 bushels
of wheat to dispose of for export Re-
ceipas at Minneapolis and Duluth since
Wednesday morning were 1912 carloads
against 2l44 for the similar two days of
the previous week and 544 a year ago. Chi
cago got 191 cars and shipped 215, ,69S bushels
About two minutes after the opening De-
cember began to advance slowly at first
but very soon, with the gathering impetus
of an advancing storm. 1t rose from 96A
to 91A without causing May to go above
the prices it opened at but when Decem-
ber made a spasmodic jump that took 1t
to 9SA, and another series of leaps that
landed it at ST. May responded in suita-
BILE manner by advancing to 93hc. 1t was

LOS ANGELES. Nov. %, 1897

Attention IL called In Bradstreet's to
the heavy increases that have taken
place in net railway earnings. Favora-
BILE returns of gross railway earnings for
the third quarter of the present year
have prepared the way for even more
satisfactory returns of net receipts,
which abundantly bear out predictions
oof favorable railway business during
the summer and autumn. The stringent
y economies forced upon railroad mana
gers by the conditions Of the past few
years made 1t possible with the large
I business done in the third quarter Of the
year to make o very good showing as
Z regarded net receipts and the percent
age of gain shown In each month has
therefore been much larger than the
gain in gross, In some months being more
than double.
The total gross earnings Of 1925 compan-
les operating about three-fourths Of the
total mileage Of the United States for
nine months aggregate $685., 5,434, ,055.
{, against $840, ,592.097 In 1896. gain Of 3.9
per cent In gross. Net earnings amounted
to $202, ,253, 1853 as compared with $182, $780,
$50 in 1896. gain of 11.3 per cent. The
{ gain in gross this year. 1t will be re-
called, followed a small gain. 1.6 per cent.
In the nine-months' period year ago
oover 1895, and even a smaller gain. three
tenths Of per cent. In net over the same
period. The increase in 1895 in gross
was 5.3 per cent and in net 1t was 10
per cent over the corresponding period
In 1894, SO 1t will be seen that the gains
in both gross and net have been pro-
gressive and steady since 1896.
