New York, Nov. 'fH-The Evening Posts
London financial cablegram says '"This
| is holiday on the London stock exchange,
| it being All Saints day. The tone of
| the money market was momentarily cas-
Ter, but from indications in good quarters
1t looks as though ernoney may keep fair
ly tight for some time TO come, with only
a slight setback in the discount rates.
| To-day large repayments from the market
to the Bank of England were due, but
only very small portion was paid off
Gold is in strong demand for the CONT
nent at 78s Nd per ounce"
| New York Nov. 1.-The business in the
| stock market to-day was very small, and
| the trading amounted to little more than
| the passing of holdings from one hand to
| the other of the same person. The pro-
| fessionals bough stocks in the morning
and sold them in the afternoon, with the
result that nearly all changes resolved
themselves into very small fractions,
| though the later reaction extended little
| further than the early rise
The sales of Union Pacific at Omaha
had the effect of stiffening the price of
| the stock, which rose at one time 1870
above the low point, and saved part of
its advantage at the close The stock
was, however, without buoyancy. Con-
solidated Gas also huctuated in a charac-
ter1St1cally errartc manner, dropping
points rising AZ, and closing the day with
a net gain of 2 points. Pittsburg Cincin-
natl, Chicago and St. Louis showed a con-
tinuance of its recent frmness, and is
higher on the day. The Changers showed
some strength during the day, but the
gains were wiped out except In the case
of Burlington and Northern Pacific pre-
ferred. There was some buying of Louis
vile, on the showing by its September
statement of an increase In net earnings
of STA, 25S. For the rest brokers and op-
orators seemed to be more interested in
discussing to-morrows municipal election
and betting on the result than in dealing
in stocks. To-day being a bank holiday
in London, no quotations were received
from there to influence the results here
but there was light buying of some stocks
in this market for London account. The
stlffening in the rate for call money is
not regarded as likely to last for any
length of time, and is attributed to opera
lions incident to the November dsburse-
ments on account of dividends and inter-
est which are estimated at about $30O00,-
coo. Railway bonds were strong in tone
especially the Houston and Texas, Oregon
Short Line and Oregon Navigation issues
Total sales, $9O5,eOO. The total sales of
stocks to-day were $4,000 shares
