New York, Nov. 3.-The market prac-
tically retrieved to-day the losses of the
last two days, the majority of railroad
stocks closing within a small fraction of
the prices Of last Monday. There was
considerable irregularity at the opening,
due to the depression in London. There
hour, mainly centered in the specialties,
and changes in the railroad list were al
most unappreciable, though the market
held a very hard surface. Trading was
dull almost to the point of stagnation I'M
I'll the last fifteen minutes, when the most
notable gains were made. The movement
started with sudden advance of nearly
points in Metropolitan Street Railway
and Consolidated Gas followed with an
almost equal gain. 81. Paul preferred sold
at 1925, new high record, and Great
Northern preferred jumped over point.
Other railroad stocks which extended
their net gains to a point or over were
Omaha, Northwest and Denver preferred.
Gains in the Changers and Northern Pa
ciflc and one or two other stocks approx
mated a point.
The market was held through the early
dealings by the strength of Sugar. which
rose TO about lis and closed there after
various f1uctuation. Tobacco and Federal
Steel preferred also showed a hardening
tendency, but were much less active than
of late. The recovery in stocks was at
tributed to relief over the more peaceful
| prospects abroad, as indicated by the re-
! covery in British consols, the easing of the
discount rate in London, and the weakness
of the wheat market. London bought In
This market for the first time in several
days. In view of these developments, and
| the continued ease of the local money
market, the advance in sterling and con-
| tinental exchange is difficult to account
| for.
An incident of the outside market was
the decline on Standard Oil assignments
of what is, in spite of circumlocution EN-
ployed I'm announcing it, a dividend of
| per cent regular quarterly and per cent
| extra, bringing the dividends for the year
| up to 80 per cent, against 36 per cent last
year and 81 per cent the year before. The
traffic statement of st. Paul, showing an
| increase for the fourth week in October of
/ S114,6l4 was a sustaining force throughout
| the railroad list.
There was a good business done in bonds
| especially in reorganization fours, which
| showed a uniform tendency to advance.
| The liquidation of some heavy blocks in
| Atchison adjustments, carried the price
/ down g. with a subsequent recovery.
| Southern Railway SIS rose to par. Total
1 sales We're $3,045,000
