STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Drahstrcct's Discusses the Movement

New York, November l0.-Bradstreet's
review of the New York stock exchange
tomorrow will say: Although SATURDAYS
bank statement showed that the average
clearing house banks were below the legal
reserve limit the stock market displayed
little trepidation and last Monday money
was relatively quiet. Large speculative
interests apparently supported their spe-
cialties on a belief that the elections
would involve TO evidence of n sweeping
change in the country's political sent iment
This last was substantially verified at tbs
polls Tuesday and produced at the open

buying, but certain amount of foreign
support as we'll. II was, however, quickly
evident that professional interests were

plentiful and rates naturally stiffened.
These latter tendencies, as we'll as the
declines in quotations throughout the LIST
which accompanied them, were even more
strikingly displayed in the early days
trading; when the wheat market developed
decided weakness, the industrial stocks in
particular reflected the renewed acute un-
certainty about the financial situation.
There had been more or less discussion as
TO the possibility that the treasury will
relieve the money market by an cffer to
purchase bonds. or that the slight rises
in New York exchange at Western points
are preliminary to a movement OF funds
from the interior to New York. 1t also
does not escape notice that foreign ex-
change rates moved downward simul,ane-
onsly with the hardening OF call money.
There seems, however, TO be no general
expectation OF gold imports, not only
because OF the war In Africa and the
rather sensitive financial position, both a.
London and in the continental markets
but because 1t is felt that any real dangers
Of a flow OF gold TO the United States will
create further and decided advance In
rates for money abroad.
