THE STOCK MARKET.
BUSINESS WAS OF VERY SMALL
PROPORTIONS.
ProfcssionaIs Handed stocks Around
but Marked Up Only slight
Changes In the Prices.

New York. November 1.-Business In
the stock market today was very small
and the trading amounted to little more
than the passage Of holdings from one
hand to the other of the same person Thu
professionals bought stocks IN the MORN
Ing and sold them In the afternoon. with
the result that nearly all changes re-
solved themselves into very small frac-
tions, though the later reaction extended
little further than the carly rise. The
safe of the Union Pacific main line at
Omaha had the effect of stffenlng the
price Of the stock. which was at one time
5-S above the low point, and saved a
part of Its advance at tho close. The
stock was, however. without buoyancy.
Consolidated Gas also fuctuated in a
characteristic er'ratc manner declining 2
poivts. rising ~ and closing the day with
net gain of points Cleveland, CtA-
cinnati, Chicago and St. Louis showed a
continuance of its recent form and Is
higher on the day. The grangers showed
some strength during the day, but the
gains were wiped out, except in the case
OF Burlington and Northern Pacific pre-
fcrrod There was some buying OF Louis
willie on the showing by its September
statement OF an increase of net earnings
OF sli,25S For the rest the brokers and
operators seemed to be more Interested
In discussing the coming municipal cleo
tbUn and betting ON the result than deal
!ng in stocks. Today being ii bank holiday
IN London, no quotutions were received
from there to influence results here, but
there was Night buying of some stocks In
the market for Lonticn account. The
stlffeniag In the rate fcr call money Is not
regarded as likely to last for amy length
OF time and Is attributed to operations
Incident TO active disbursements on ac-
count OF dividends and Interest, which are
estimated at about s30.cop.e0o
Railway bonds were strong In tone, es-
pccally the Houston and Texas Central
Ore 9o1 Sort Line and oregon Navigation.
Sales, $9o5.0c0. United States bonds were

Houston, Monday, November I.
Mr.. Neil flung his wild crop guess at
the market this morning, but 1t fell fiat.
Not only did he give out an estimate of
100000 bales, but he followed It up with
a prediction that the market would grad
nally decline to 2 7-sd at Liverpool, or
15-32d lower than the present price of
middIng there. This would mean de-
cline OF nearly cent per pound in the
American markets, and would place Hous-
ton middling at 4iac on the spot.
But the cotton traders merely gave a
glance at the Nell crop guessing and
price forecasting, and then turned their
attention to the weather map. Finding
conditions rather unfavorable for ma
turing top crop, and noting predictions
of frost for many sections of the cotton
belt tonight, the shorts began buying and
prices began advancing. The New York
market jumped 10 points from the lowest.
and closed points higher than Satur-
days final figures. New Orleans was
closed on account of All Saints Day, but
trading was quite active on the curb

There was very little change in LIVER
