New York Nov. 15.-The Evening Posts
London financial cablegram says: THE
stock markets were quiet and featureless
to-day except the rise in one or two special
Rhodesian mining shares. Investment
stocks are steady. Americans opened
agood and then gave way little as New
York was apparently awaiting the decision
on the Nebraska rate question They clos
ed lower, but with firm undertone. The
buying is still of good character, Spanish
stocks were better. Nothing definite Is
really known about the rumored Hooley
Spanish loan. Money is easy, but uncer-
tain Large sums will have to be repaid
to the Bank of England in the next three
days. Paris and Berlin markets quiet.
New York 9Iov 15-Wair Street has not
seen so dull day in many months Even
the professional traders were almost out
of the market, and there was absolutely
no outside inquiry or sign of interest in
the market. A large proportion Of the
days trading was in Sugar, and this
stock fell away at one time 25s points, but
closed ~ points above that The rally
was due to the ruling by the treasury de-
partment to apply the countervailiug duty
clause of the tariff bill to refined sugars
imported from Denmark. The amount of
sugar available for import from Denmark
is not in itself large, but the treasury s
decision was regarded as indicating a
course likely to be pursued in regard to
Dutch refined sugars of which the supply
available for import Is large. This rally
in sugar helped the market somewhat and
was almost the only indication of real
strength in any stock throughout the day.
In the closing transactions, Susque-
hanna and Western preferred suddenly
mounted upward to 34l5, a net rise of 23s
points, and the bonds of that company
also showed some sharp gains. No effect
was exercised on the general market by
this. Northern Pacific preferred was rel
atively firm in the railway list on account
of the increase in earnings shown by it's
first weeks statement of 1913 686 or 43
per cent. over last year. Last years earn
ings for the same period were not large,
and there was one more business day in
cluded in the period than this year. But
the showing was regarded as a strong one,
nevertheless.
Peoples Gas, which was dealt In ex-div-
idend of IL per cent, was center of de-
preston, and closed a point lower The
coalers were also weak, New Jersey Gem
trail most conspicuously so, falling at one
time 21s points, but rallying a fraction
Consolidated Gas made one of its charac7
teristic slumps of points, to 1870 This
was 8 points lower than the previous low
points of the present movement The
stock rallied IL at the close
The heaviness and the dizziness of the
market were partly in sympathy with
London, where the prices of securities
showed declines on account of some ap-
prehension over European politics, due to
the threa tening conditions on the border
of Turkey. There was some disappoint-
ment over the failure of the supreme court
to hand down a decision i'm the Nebraska
maximum freight rate case before it's two
weeks recess. .H-', lt.
Closing prices are fairly above the low
est of the day In most stocks but the gem
eral list shows net losses of n fraction nv
ceeding " in most cases. Selling for Lon
don account added to the weakness. The
total sales of all stocks was less than 100 :
900 shares, of which Sugar contributed all
most one-fourth. The bond market was
dull. but prices were firm. Total sales
81, 1925 900.
