well absorbed and prices of the interna-
tional stocks firmly sustained.
Southern Railway preferred was a
conspicuous example. But as the day
wore on. the market gained both in ac-
tivity and strength and embraced an
increasing list of stocks. The contem-
plation of the very heavy volume of
bank exchanges and the enormous export
business in cereals had their influence
on the bullish tendency as did the con-
tinued favorable report of railroad earn
ings, especially from the South and
West
Handsome increases in earnings were
also shown by the Southern Railway,
Northern Pacific and Great Northern,
the latter showing $3S6,941 more earn
ed for October than last year. The
stocks which are junior to the bonds
which were favorites in the heavy bond
business felt the advantage of that
movement, Atchison Preferred advanc-
ing over a point. Tobacco showed the
largest activity and gained over two
points. There were dealings in odd lots
of quite a number of high grade stocks.
But the most conspicuous movement
of the day was in bonds issued
for the purpose of reorganiza-
ton of various companies and
running from 80 to 100 years. OF these

prominent, but still active, as were
Northern Pacific prior liens, fours and
Norfolk and Western general. The
Erie prior liens and the Reading tours,
which might be placed IL the same class,
were heavy. Marked strength and ac-
tivity was also shown by the new Bal
timore and Ohio fours when issued and
also by the 31a's. Dealings in Southern

COTTON.
New York. Nov. THE talk this
morning pointed to a new record for
cotton receipts for the week. The Off
cial estimate for today was early pre-
mulgated as $4,000. Soon the movement
appeared to be heading toward 90,0W
for the day, and that figure became
the popular estimate. Notwithstanding
this feature the market made quite Il
stubborn resistance to the further at
lacks of the bears, and it soon became
evident that current low prices and the
fears that the market had been over
sold were acting as a brake to further
selling and the downward tendency of
the market that followed the opening
call was arrested. The market opened
steady at an advance of / to points

advanced l point, but promptly turned
easier, and failed to make any substan-
tial rally for the rest of the session.
Some attention was given to private
cables claiming that the condition of
trade at Manchester was better than at
any time this season. Public cables
made little impression, being about as
expected.
Moderate buying for New Orleans ac-

Trading was for the most part local.
and more especially with reference to
tomorrow's election holiday, most of the
small local traders being disposed to
even up their accounts. The market
was finally steady, with prices unchanged
