New York, Nov. 12-The Evening Posts
London financial cablegram says: The
stock markets were lifeess to-day and a
trifie less firm. Mines were better The
dullness in Americans here is partly due
to difficulties of a dealer VINO is bull on
Americans, and who recently lost heavily
by the sharp and unexpected fall or Ger
tain Industrial shares. The failure may be
announced tomorrow or it may blow over;
it is really nothing important Americans
closed above the lowest. Paris bourse was
dun and the Berlin markets steady"
New York, Nov. 12.-To-day's stock
market was without animation at any
time. The preliminary drive at Sugar,
and one or two subsequent raids against
that stock failed to dslodge any large Of
ferings, and the subsequent dealings in
that stock showed greatly diminished ac-
tivity and frmness of tone. It's losses
were all recovered and the closed showed
q net gain of a small fraction. The low
price for the day, which was 1861, was a
new low point on the present movement.
Sugar was easily the leader of the list in
point of activity, and absorbed one-third
of the total dealings The coalers show
ed some strength on account of the APP
preaching cold snap. They were helped
also by reports of restriction of output
by individual companies. New Jersey
Central led this group and advanced at
one time 3A points, but closed at a reac-
ton of about point. Consolidated Gas
fluctuated wildly, rising points, receding
AZ, and closing at a net decline of ~.
Outside of these the market was without
particular interest. There was some con-
tinuance Of selling for the London ac-
count. especially of ST. Paul, and this was
about the only unfavorbale factor in the
news of the day
The result of the days trading is to
bring the level of prices back to about the
same level as that held before the very
sharp decline Of last Friday. The upward
IN In Nit
assisted by the continued favorable char
acter of railroad earnings reported for
the first week of November. The increases
were especially marked in the returns of
the Southern and Southwestern roads.
which are presumably affected by the
heavy cotton movement, due to traffic now
coming forward which has been DELAYED
by yellow fever quarantine.
The Southern railway led in the amount
of its gain with an increase of $50, 40 over
the corresponding period of last year. the
percentage of increase being about II.
Central of Georgia with an increase of
$23,377, shows the higher percentage of
about 20.
The activity in the soft coal trade is re-
fleeted in an increase of over q per cent
in the earnings Of the Norfolk and Vest
ern and of over 100 per cent in those Of
the Cleveland, Lorain and Wheeling. The
days net gains are a point or over in
some of the Changers and other prominent
active stocks, and are nearly 2 points over
in the coalers. The bond market was
moderately active at higher prices. The
new Lake Shore 31as sold al 1854. the
highest on record. The sales aggregated
$1,4500O0. The total sales of stocks to-
day were 247,10O shares.
