MARKETS UPWARD TURN
Unsuccessful Attempts During the
Week to Depress Prices.
Skepticism in Wall Street as to
Whether the Reaction Has
Run lis Course.

New York, Nov. 13.-AlthoUgh the stock
market has sbeenoonparatively drH, through
the week and efforts have been made
from tine to time to depTess prices, the
entire list, with Unly two or three ncte-
worthy exceptions. is higher than it was
last Saturday night. The most plausible
explanation Ct this development is that
fcrcefUI, and AT the same time unostenta-
tioUs. dealers in securities have gradually
been reaccunlulatlng some of the stocks

three months ago.
A great deal OF skepticism exists in Wall
street. that is, 10 the specula tive ele-
Iuent. as UC Whet her the reaction in
prices from the summer and early autumn
advance has run its course. The con.
sideraIions that have induced the actual
holders OF stocks not to part With them
and which also have apparently induced
further purchases. were recognized to an
extent by the short interest today, ana
IN consequence OF its efforts TO close its
contracts the market war strong Through
out. The greatest net advances We're "a
Sugar Refining. and in jersey Central

week, appea red to be the most vulnera bIe
members Of the list. The further re-
covery IN them today carried Jersey Cen
trail practically above tie Price last Sat
urday, an5 that Sugar less than two points
lower, Or the USUALLY active stocks Rock
Island has scored the greatest net ad
vance This week.
In con.mon with the other granger trunk
lines the earnings OF the Rock Island
system are phenomenalIy large. OF the
less active stocks, Missouri, Kansas and
Texas preferred, scored the greatest net
advance. The weekly statement of aver
ages OF the aSsocia TED hanks shows no very
important changes. 7 he banks have gained
Sl'33l,0oo in lawful money, about half Of
It IN specie and the remainder in legal
tenders. An increase OF 81 .2aI 900 in
the loans can hardly be rega rded as sig.
nificant. The two changes noted help to
increas Sc the deposit nearly $1,000 900, and
the net result is an increase in the surplus
reserve Of nearly 100000.
