 New York. November 15.-The premonito- ry symptoms of reaction which were noted yesterday in the stock market and even more prominently in the bond market, found their Justification today. There were periods of resistance to the decline, and individual stocks in which the resistance was successful. But the reaction gained in force as the day progressed, and the clos ing was decidedly heavy in tone at the low point, net declines being the rule and reaching as much as point in a few stocks. The specialties were active all day, and the movements in them were ex- ceedingly various and conflicting and in- fiuenced by individual causes. The market for railroad stocks showed a heavy tono from the opening, especially in the Inter nationals which had the burden of selling of foreign accounts to carry. The Grangers and Pacifics also encountered obstacles to an advance
 The Atchison issues continued to be a strong rallying point for the bull faction, the preferred stocks rising to 433s Further effort was made to sustain the railroad list by bidding up prices of the low-priced stocks especially those in the southwest The mystery surrounding the pending dis position of the Chicago and Alton also inn parted strength to different railroad stocks on rumors in connection with that transac- ton. The Kansas City. Pittsburg and Gulf, the Lake Erie and Western stocks and Chi cago Indianapolis and Louisville preferred rose at times from one to six points. There were unexplained advances of 2as in South ern Pacific and of g full points in Chicago and Northwestern preferred. In the spe- cialties there was prevailing heaviness, on the one hand, in Sugar. Manhattan, Fed eral Steel and Peoples Gas, while on the other hand Tobacco, Metropolitan Street Railway and the paper stocks showed marked strength.

 The certificates are not being issued and the resulting requirement for funds is Ias- signed as the reason for the weakness of these stocks. Other iron and steel stocks were heavy in sympathy. The presence in the city of leading street railway magnatess was sentimental factor in the strength of Metropolitan Street Railway The harden ing tendency of the money market was re- fected in the growing heaviness of bonds, the market for which continued very active Total sales, $6.310, 900.
