New York, Nov. 2.-The news received
by the Associated Press, detailing the hos
tile preparations of the British and Rus
sian fleets in Chinese waters goes far TO
explain the recent uneasiness manifest
on the London exchange In spite or the
apparent subsistence of the Anglo-French
controversy The movement Of securities
undeniably shows the progress of import
ant diplomatic movements amongst the
old world powers, carrying with them the
threat of open rupture. There was sharp
fan in consuis, and strong market In
Liverpool for wheat, which only yielded
on the failure of American markets to
respond fury, because of the large re-
| cepts of primary points, and the liquida-
| ton of large speculative lines In Chicago
| The persistent demand for export, how
ever. worked a rally in the American grain
market before the close. Selling OF securi-
| ties for London account In the New York

| international stocks, especially Norfolk
and Western preferred, Denver and Rio
| Cirande preferred, Kansas and Texas pre-
| ferred, are the heaviest losers among the
| railroad stocks. Aside from this, there was
| a general tendency to stand by in idleness
| allowing the market to lapse into the pro-
verbal prediction dizziness. The profess
| sional traders naturally turned TO the
| short side of such a market, but bear tao
| tics were not aggressive. In Sugar, Tobac-

! events was reversed, the first named show
ing strength all day on mysterious init
| nation of coming favorable developments.

! bacco dropped "A points In the first five
minutes of trading, and huctuated fever
| ishly for the rest Of the day between that
| and last nights price, to the continuous
| bewilderment of all those who regulated
/ the movement The industrious lifting of
| Federal Steel, which has been going on for
| some lime past, was relaxed to-day, and
| prices went off IL to ~ from the best

| in the newly launched Standard Distilling
| stocks were allowed to lapse In view of

| The only other feature was the wide
movement of some stocks that are seldom

a fall Of as much in New Haven. There
