New York, Nov. 29.-Proft-talSing was
the order on the Stock Exchange to-day.
Some attempt was made to resist the de-
clining tendency, but the persistent sell
ing to realize, discouraged the effort, and
support was finally Withdrawn throughout
the list Yesterdays strong demand for
London account fell off to-day, as IL was
generally supposed it would when the ef-
feet of this buying on the sterling ex-
change market was remarked. The APP
proach of exchange TO the gold import
point resulted in an advance in the pri-
vate discount rate in London again to-
day, and this caused a rise In London cx-
change at Berlin. The stlffenng of the
discount rate in London did not avail,
however, to prevent a further weakening
in sterling exchange at New York. POST
ed rates were reduced zee. This Is the
level for exchange which brought gold
on the recent movement, and Their Is lit
tie doubt that gold would have been en-
gagged in London for import to-day, had
1t not been for a further rise in the price
of the metal in that market London
ceased 10 buy Americans under the stress
Of this threatening condition In the ex-
change market Nevertheless, the stock
market showed advances at the opening
here, and was sustained by heavy buy
ing of the Changers on the Burlington
statement. II was evident, however, that
a part OF the recent buying OF the Grang-
ers was in anticipation OF this statement,
and the same was evidently true OF Union
Pacific which, with a large increase in
gross earnings, and reduction la operating
expenses, showed an addition 10 the sur
plus of $3O7 ,S9l. The publication Of these
statements was therefore met with heavy
realizing. There was strength among the
Southwesterns and some Southern rail-
roads, Central and Southern Pacific and
a number of specialties, including an ex-
treme rise of 81 in Sugar and an upward
movement also Of some Of the low-priced
stocks remote from any dividend chances
Edison Illuminating of New York made a
conspicuous advance of Il points, to 1865.
There was strength IN a few points in
the bond market, but the general ten
dency Of prices was downward in sym
pathy with stocks. Total sales, "a 1O5 900
