New Orleans, November H-Today's
movement was comparatively very small.
$4,000 against $4,000 last year, 554.0 year
before and 9S6. 44S in 1895. making the total
brought into sight since September l, $4,000
less than last year, and Isl, 900 smaller than
the movement of 1885, the $3.50 900 crop year.
The worlds visible supply of American cot
ton tonight is 3,366,0OO, and the price of mid
ding is rs. On even date of 1892 the
worlds visible supply of American was g.
1856 GEO. and the value of middling 8 1-16.
During the latter season the world con-
sumed about 100000 bales of American cot
ton and raised a crop of only 6,700,0O0 This
season consumption is likely to reach II ,000.-
900, while crop promises are very poor the
government estimating the total yield at
less than 100000 bales, and the price of
middling now is only rs. The crop of India
is also said to be short by a half to one
million 400-pound bales. Stock in the United
States tonight, the interior included, is l.
6S3,000 compared with 1,7SO,0OO last year, and
1887 900 in 1897. Liverpoofs stock and afoat
tonight is $4,000, against 100000 last year
and 10000 in 1897. January here opened at
705, The range for the day was cents to
707; next week we run against a movement
of $4,000 last year; 536 goo year before, and
49, 600 in 1897. Liverpool at its highest was
212 up on puts, but closed only lid up.

New York, November 1.-THE stock mar
ket had TO absorb v,cy large volume of
selling TO take profits on yesterdays rise
during tho carly hours of todays trading.
1he tone OF the market for the rest of the
day was rather HAT and dispirited, in spite
OF aggressive strength by a few prominent
stocks and notable advances by number
of rather obscure stocks, The pront-taking
was especially noticeable In Southern Pa
ellie and Union Pacific and showed those
stocks under yesterdays price for the
greater part of tho day. The buying in
both of them was never at any time active.
but normal trading prevailed,
Tho most conspicuous movement of the
day was In tho Baltimore and Ohio stocks,
ahe preferred leading. Tho various metal
stocks had period of strength. Otherwise
the market was rather irregular and dis
posed to reaction under n late rally which
wiped out previous losses, The hesitating
tones o the market was due to n recurrent
anxiety over tho showing to be made by
tomonrow's bank statement. This was ac-
oentuatod by n late stlffening of the call
loan ratio TO D per cent, on demand from
belated borrowers TO carry over until Mon
day. Tho sub-treasury today paid out
abort 81 900, 200 for bonds offered for redemp-
ton and tho sub-treasury's debit balances
ut tho clearing house reflected Its pay
menta for the same purpose, the amount
being 1891 $40. Discounts In London and
on the continent were somewhat easier and
the course OF ahe interior exchanges in this
country was In favor OF New York. Lon
don sold stocks ON balance In this market.

opened this morning about unchanged
Enough lit ruled easy during the forenoon in
anticipation of a marked increase in this
weeks interior movement, despite orders to
buy to sustain the market. The afternoon
report of come-dn-sieflt this week of only
$4,000 against 100000 the same week a year
ago caused firmer feeling, with some
covering of this mornings sales by local
operators; hence reaction of points from
the lowest this noon. Port receipts AZ 600
against $1,000. Spots, 7 9-16c Birmingham

Birmingham. November 1.-THE stock
market opened fairly active and with
somewhat uncertain tone. AS a rule the
transactions in the railway list were effect
ed at somewhat lower than yesterdays
close. The Industrial quarter on the other
hand was strong, with large dealings in
Consolidated Tobacco and Sugar. The
American stocks showed a fractional adj
vance in London. but the dealings here for
foreign accounts upon the opening of BUSH
ness were on both sides of the market.
Speculative sentiment seemed to be again
hopeful, chiefly because of the relief to the
monetary situation expected through the
treasury's disbursement on account of the
bond redemption. On the other hand, there
was some disposition to realize profits on
the idea that tomorrow's bank statement
would be another very unfavorane show
ing and that liquidation might be expected
on that account Railroad earnings were
again very favorable. The st. Paul returns
for the second week of the month, which
showed an increase of s10S,000. or more than
Is per cent There was otherwise an an
sence of news of any Importance bearing
ON the market.

BY Private Wire from the New York Sun.
New York, November 17.-Most of the ami
nation that characterized the stock market
yesterday was absent this morning The
trading was in comparatively light volume
and was rather poorly distributed, a few
particular stocks furnishing a dispropor-
tlonate share of the total transactions.
Profit realizing sales were noted throughout
the market and particularly in the railway
list. The market showed further the effect
of the partial elimination of the short in
terest and the operations here for foreign
account changed from the buying to the
selling side, about 5000 shares being sold
by foreign houses on the forenoon dealings.
AS was to be expected while the govern
ment's bond redemption was not so effect
i've In shaping the course of prices as 1t was
yesterday, it still occupied the foremost
place in discussion. While the grangers
and other standard shares showed in the
main somewhat reactionary tendency, the
industrial quarter was generally strong and
there were pronounced advances scored also
In Manhattan. Union Pacific and Baltimore
and Ohio issues. Pacific Mail and the
Southwestern shares. notably Texas Pacific
and Kansas and Texas, were also strong.
