NEW YORK. November 2G.--To-day's
short session OF the Stock Exchange was
long enough for several uncertainties TO
develop and TO resolve themselves again,
so that the session, as n whole. con-
tinued to be OF the same irregular ana
mixed character as those of the whole
week have been. The strength OF Ameri-
cans on the London market was not sufil-
GENTLY pronounced to affect the opening
prices here, and prices were below the
London parity. even where the gains
were shown. 1t was clear enough, how
ever. that there was continued good de-
mand for Union Pacific and the 81. Louis
and San Francisco preferred stocks, and
Northern Pacific recorded u recovery OF
part of yesterdays decline There was
continued proht-taking evident at other
points, Manhattan suffered break OF
Ia on published denials OF Vanderbilt
interest and Tobacco one OF almost as
much on the threatened competition III
cigarettes. There were conspicuous frac-
tional recessions also In the Baltimore
and Ohio stocks. and the Coalers showed
no effect of stories that the coal trade
had been fixed"
