ON CHANGE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-The tone of the
trading during the latter part of the days
trading was strong. There was steady
buying of a good character all day, which
seemed TO be for long account, and in the
final transactions the shorts were driven
to cover quite urgently. carrying the level
OF prices strongly above last nights close,
so that the net gains In nearly all active
stocks are over a point In many cases,
notably the grangers and some of the
southern stocks, which are nearly two
points. The professional bear element was
prepared for continuance of their sue
cessful campaign Of yesterday. and they
set about raiding the market very soon
after the opening, which showed fractional
improvements. in sympathy with London.
Sugar was the vulnerable point Of attack,
and was driven down over per cent on
ill-defined rumors Of charges to be formu-
lated of illegal entries of imported sugar.
The bears also succeeded in depressing
New Jersey Central. Manhattan and one
or two other recently susceptible stocks.
But the sympathetic decline brought about
in the rest of the list was narrow and gave
sufficient warning to the bears that they
were not to have their own way unre-
sisted, as yesterday. The coalers showed
a marked tendency to recover from their
recent depression, on reports Of an agree
ment by the competing interests in trade.
The southern railroads enjoyed tho bensflt

Boston Wool Market

BOSTON, Nov 9.-Buying has fallen off
considerably in the wool market during the
past week, and this has a strong tendency
to tone down prices somewhat. The mar

however. and there is little likelihood of a
break. The supply of fleece wool is small
and prices rule firm. Territory woods are
yet meeting with fair sales. with prices

Tho figures for the last fiscal year, show
ing how Mexico's foreign trade was divid-
ed among the other nations of the world.
furnish gratifying proof, says Modern
Mexico, that American exporters are not
only energetically seeking, but that they
are satisfying Mexican customers. Trade
both ways between Mexico and the United
States is growing rapidly. American man
ufacturers are not only absorbing the new
export and import business of the republic,
but In both directions are taking business
away from European countries This is
plainly shown by comparison of the to-
tnl business for the last fiscal year with
the preceding year. Last year Mcxico's
exports increased $6000.000. but the value
OF the exports sent to the United States in
creased $4,000 The total of Mexico's
imports for the last year shows % falling
off of about $4,000, but Notwithstanding
this fact, Mexicos imports from tho Unit
ed States increased nearly $2,50o,0o0. Dur
Ing the year Englands exports to Mexico
decreased over 100000. and her imports
from Mexico show a loss of over 81, 000, 600,
q combined loss of over - per cent in her
commercial relations wits the republic.
Imports to Mexico from France fell or
over ST. .O0O, 600, a loss of one-sixth of all of
Frances exports to Mexico. France and
Germany together show a loss in exports TO
Mexico which amounts to 10 per cent of
their entire Mexican export business A
year ago the United States furnished 47la
per cent of the total imports to Mexico:
last year American exporters furnished
6Sis per cent of all that Mexico bought
abroad. and more than this, the northern
republic took more than II per cent of all
that was exported from Mexico. These
figures sustain the prediction that Modern
Mexico has previously made, that any
unsettlement or diminution of Mexico 5
importations. either because of fluctuating
silver or the increased production of home
manufactures would affect American ex-
porters less than those of any other coun-
try. The statistics given above show that
these causes have affected them less than
those of all the other countries combined;
In fact their loss has been the gain of the
United States.
The exact figures showing comparison
of the last two fiscal years are as follows:

of Trade

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.--Wheat started at
from u to n cents below the price it closed
at Yesterday. Copious rains had been fall
ing since the previous session ended and it
was still wet when trading commenced.
Crop prospects in Nebraska and Kansas
in consequence of recent rains were said

pool markets wer I'd lower than they

heard from here, although the record
showed that it had opened at trifiing i'm
proyement. Chicago, which was expected
to receive ITO cars, had 2l7 inspected into
store besides another cargo from Duluth
of 1900 bushels. Northern spring, Mime
apolis and Duluth reported 1lS6 carloads
against 134S a week ago and 746 the CORE
spending day of the week before. The
Michigan state crop report showed con-
dition of Sc and said that the seeded area
was per cent greater than last year. May
wheat opened at S95sMS9a4 cents against
yesterdays close OF 90AM9O3s cents and
gradually declined to S9M cents. Later
in the day there was little outcroppine
of bullish items that stayed the hands OF
the sellers for a time. Clearances from
Atlantic ports amounted in wheat and
flour to $685. 900 bushels. There was slight

The market became very weak near the
close, although there was no increase in
the volume of trade May finally sold dowr
to SS% and closed at SS1sMS9c.
Corn was firm in spite of weakness in
wheat. The continued rains, small inte.

the cash market was largely responsible
for the sentiment. Gables were firm, as
were outside markets.
Oats were somewhat easier at a slight
