STOCKS RECOVER : STRENGTH.
News From Paris Disposes of Check
to Speculative Enthusiasm.

~ SpcCulutAteN e tAktbAuSul
New York, Nov. 16.-Yesterday's reac-
tionary tone Tapped over into the early
dealings in todays market and In the
first hour some pronounced recessions
were scored. 1t soon became evident that
at the decline new buying orders were
being reached, and by the noon hour a
new balance was struck, and general
advance set in. To some extent the turn
in the market was due to the receipt of
advices from Paris announcing the ad-
journment until Saturday of the Spanish
American Peace Commission. This dispos-
ed of the one direct check to specula-
tive enthusiasm. A more correct view of
the days recovery in prices would be
that the liquidation that set in early In
the day had run its course or, at least.
had been finally outstripped by the new
buying power In the market. There Were
also fairly heavy transactions in the bond
market, and their more or less specula-
tive character was shown IN the manner
in which the price movements changed in
sympathy with those in the stock mar
ket The latter was by no means with
out appearances of irresuiarity. The
Northern Pacific shares reflected pro-
nounced pressure, notably In the early
dealings without any direct explanation
attending the selling of the stocks. Atch-
ison preferred, on the otner hand, was
conspicuousy strong and active and, in
connection with dividend rumors, the
stock advanced to the highest price in
its history. The Atchison company last
year earned about l 1-2 per cent upon
its preferred stock of 20,0Oo. 900. and the
current three. months of the fiscal year
show falling off In net earnings as COM
pared with last year Of s433,000.
For the first time this week the bal
ance of the dealings for foreign account
in the local market was on the buying
side, though this circumstance was with
out much effect upon prices as less than
10000 shares were purchased. The gran
ger shares were notably active and the
Northwestern and Omaha issues rose
sharply. The net changes IN the other
granger shares were limited The par
ticular strength In the cases cited was
accompanied by reports not generally
credited of an advance in the rates of
dividends. Other strong features of the
market were Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Pa
cific Mail, Louisville and Nashville, and
the preference shares of the Chicago

In the industrial division. American To-
bacco and Sugar Refining were the lead
ers. Sugar Refining broke sharply in the
early dealings, but II rallied quickly on
the announcement of further advance

in raw sugar. but it did not increase the
