THE STOCK MARKET
Little i'm the Day to Induce Active
Speculative Ventures.


Speculative Ventures.
New York. Nov. 1.-THE stock market
today maintained a tone of quiet
strength Business was not In large vol
ume. but was fairly well distributed
throughout the list. The industrial
shares again received the largest amount
of attention. but they did not overshadow
the remainder of the market by any
means. With no striking developments
reported in either the foreign or home po-
ntical situations. there was very little in
the occurrences of the day to induce act
i've speculative ventures. A large number
of railway traffic returns covering various
periods were published. They show that
the roads in the Southern and Southwest
ern States are doing particularly well.
and this evidence was not overlooked in
the days stock market. Apart from the
traffic returns reported, the chief rail-
way news was the announcement of the
dissolution of the Joint Traffic Associa-
ton. Apparently no other procedure was
possible In view of the recent decision of
the Supreme Court of the United States.
The announcement was received with
only ldslbGld interest III W dD street,
where the practical ineffectiveness of the
association has been long recognized. \
wholesome feature of the days market
was the active demand for bonds and
number of noteworthy rises were scored
in that department of the market. Promi-
nent features of the bono market were
Southern Railway S. Union Pacific Is,
and San Antonio and Aransas Pass As.
The strength of the bond market may be
readily referred to the ease of the money
market and the growth of confidence in
the securities named. The current active
demand for investment securities is,
however. a noteworthy feature of the
situation at a time when speculation in
stocks is held in check by the uncertainty
as to the issue of the elections. Louisville
and Nashville, Southern Railway pre-
ferred, and Denver and Rio Grande pre-
ferred were the most conspicuous feat
ures Of the railway list in substantial and
well-maintained advances.
Dividend prospects seemed TO be the in
centives to purchases of these stocks The
granger shares were duh and steady and
the market was otherwise featureless. In
the industrial divisions Sugar Refining
and American Tobacco were the active
features. The first advanced and the lat
ter declined without any other than tech
nical market conditions explaining their
movements. London houses sold a small
amount of stocks on balance, but their
dealings were without effect upon the
market, being heaviest in the stocks
which showed the most extensive gains
on the day.

The stock market was irregular yester-
day and most disappointing TO those who
from the opening hoped for a little spurt
Upward. Prices during the first hour
were well held, and in general a little
above those of Thursdays close Before
noon, however there was n slight decline,
and during the remainder of the day the
tendency was downward. A short time
before the close there was bad tumble
lead by marked weakness in Tobacco and
Sugar. There was no particular news
to cause the weakness of the afternoon
and it must be supposed that the street
generally is not in the least ready for an
advance, and does not believe that one
could be engineered with any success. At
the close of the day yesterday the bulls
had almost unanimously given up hope
of the ante-election boom. and were con-
fining themselves to large predictions re-
garding the fine spurt that they said
would come soon as the election uncer-
tainties are over. But not everybody by
any means has even this hope. II is
easy to find people within the last two
weeks, who do not believe prices are go
ing any higher any time this Autumn.

anything in the story that the injunc-
