New York, Nov. 1.-THE results of to-
days stock market operations were rath-
er incopclusive. except in so far as they
showed a continued and lively interest
on tbs part Of the outside public in Sc
curities Of all grades. So far as prices
are concerned, net changes are rather
mixed. though the majority are on the
side of gains, and these in some cases
amount TO per cent, or over. The early
period of the market showed the heavy
offerings to realize which are at all times
usual In the upward course of a real bull
market But, even while prices sagged
at some points with the effort TO absorb
the offerings. other stocks were mounting
upward, maintaining the undertone OF
hrmness.
The very notable movement in Atchlson
preferred was continued from the outset.
at which time running purchases carried
the price up &. The gain was subsequent.
ly extended to IA, and The new gains al
most a point There was very heavy de-
mand early in Denver preferred which
had been marked up before the opening
here in London. This stock rose an ex-
IRENE points, and Norfolk and Western
preferred ~ Baltimore and Ohio, Pacific
Mail and International Paper gave tone
also 10 the early market as did an upward
bound of S4 in Metropolitan Street Rail
road. Early weakness in Tobacco and the
reaction in Chicago and Alton from Its
recent advance, had an unsetting effect
in the first hour. In the second hour.
however, the Changers were taken in hand
and Burlington and Rock Island were
pushed to the highest prices of the year
Some of the low-priced and lately. dor
mant stocks were also brought into the
movement, and advanced to a higher lew
81. There were conspicuous advances also
~ New York Central, Pennsylvania and
Canada Southern.
St. Paul and Omaha preferred sold at
10 an advance of points, and the high
est price on record. The late reaction
was induced by the persistent weakness
of the Northern Pacific and the uneasi-
ness thus caused in the minds of holders
by rumors of discord and a prospective
outbreak of hostilities in the Northwestern
Railroad world. The aggressive buying Of
Peoples Gas up to 1917 in the late deal
ings rallied their market and made a firm
closing, in spite of the late weakness. in
Delaware and Hudson and Sugar The
local money market showed no further
hardening tendency to-day, and the firm
ness Of foreign exchange indicates a re-
sumption of the holding back of bills
The level of the London money market
which declined appreciably to-day, is now
so near that Of New York; that strineen-
cy in the local money market could find
relief in gold import movement
The bond market showed a recurrence
of its recent strength Yesterdays declines
being in part retrieved. Total sales, $4,-
