STOCKS RISE AND FALL.
Ear,y Buying and Subpequent In
explicable IrreEularity.

New York. Nov. 25.-The execution by
commission houses of all of the buying
orders accumulated over yesterdays hol-
iday. together with fairly heavy purchas-
es by foreign arbitrage houses. impaired
a strong tone to the market at the OPEN
ing of business today. The markets sub
sequent relapse into dullness and irreg-
ularity was without any particular ex-
PLANTATION. The selling by large traders
usually to be observed toward the close
of the week was present today and it
evidently. after the initial dealings, out
balanced the buying noted.
After the early dealings speculative in
terest was rather poorly distributed, be-
ing largely in those stocks in which the
opening advances had been the most vio-
lent. These We're notably Manhattan
Railway. the anthracite coal shares, and
the Atchison stocks. The liquidation in
the last named was particularly heavy
and the break there was followed by pro-
fessional attacks directed at the remain
der of the list A sharp rise in the an
thracite coal stocks in the early dealings
took place under the lead of the Reading
shares. The London quotations showed
the latter in apparently strong demand,
and foreign houses bought the stocks in
this market. As rule. however, the
highest prices of the day Tor these stocks,
as was indeed the case in other quarters
of the market, Were made In the initiative
transactions. Reports of a new price
agreement attended the advance in the
coal stocks. The granger shares, Louis
Vile and Nashville. and the Southern
Railway issues took little part in the
backing and filling in the general market,
showing a firm tone throughout the day,
with the dealings in fairly liberal vol
ume. The Pacific shares were also fair
ly steady. The most notably strong fea-
lures were the Baltimore and Ohio Issues,
all of which advanced materially. The
market closed dull and heavy

The stock market yesterday morning was
fairly active but not specially attractive
to the bulls. At the opening, prices were
above Wednesdays close. but there was
an immediate recession In many stocks.
In the afternoon there was weak
ness and dullness. II is undoubt-
edly the fact that there are many
people now not so confident of fur
ther advance as they were week ago.
Many stocks present an over-bouSht ap-
pearance. Prices are above those of Au-
gust and the spectators who think be
fore trading are beginning to consider
when the reaction will come 1t is ar
gued by these people that even granting
the whole or almost all that the bulls
claim for business prospects, and the
outlook for larger dividends, stocks are
high enough at this level.
