NEW YORK Nov. 3.-Tolay's stock mar
ket was reacti0rary in its tendency. and
the trading fell away materially iu volume,
as compared with the earlier part Of the
week. Interest vas also rather poorly dis
uibu.e6. as few stocks furnished q dis
propo-tIouata part of the total trading.
These were notably Southern Pacific. United
States Leather shares. and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit The days news was meagre and
without particular significance. The Lon
don market showed general declines, prob
ably because Of the unsatisfactory state Of
things ID south Africa, and foreign houses
were sellers Of stocks in this market to
limited extent.
As usual al the end OF the week, con-
lecture in regard 10 the bank statement
tomorrow was active, and # was apparently
the expectation that the statement would
make an "uufavOrable' showing that
caused the rank and file Of the room traders
10 elect the bear side Of the market. As
usual notions in regard TO the bank state
Tnent counted for more than the actual con-
ditions prevailing in the money market.
The latter were practically unchanged from
yesterday, and the bulk Of the borrowing
was effected al from 6 10 S per cent Of
the railway earnings submitted today the
most interesting showing was that OF the
ST Paul Company for the last week Of
October, reporting an increase over last
year Of over $4,000 and the weeks returns
being the largest in the history Of the com
pauy. a circumstance, however. which re-
ceived 10 more than transient notice.
The dealings at the opening Of business
IN Southern Pacific, Chesapeake and Ohio,
and Leather common were OF enormous
volume and all Of these stocks reached the
highest level that they have scored on the
current move Particular activity in
Southern Pacific was accompanied by re-
ports. which seem well founded, that the
syndicate managing the interests Of that
property had acquired the Stanford hold
ings Of this stock, but as regards the spe-
cial activity IN the other instances nothing
new came TO light. With reference to the
enormous transactions il Leather stocks
there is every reason 10 believe that the
control OF the company has changed hands,
and further, that interests formerly infiu-
euti6l in its affairs have been found 10 be
short Of its securities.
Other noteworthy advances at the open
ing were scored in Baltimore and Ohio
preferred. Missouri Kansas and Texas,
Anaconda Mining, and Manhattan, but the
noteworthy gains In these stocks were all
shaded or lost with the course Of the
day. The fluctuations in Brooklyn Rapid
Transit were wide and eTratic but they
were TO be accounted for only by the fact
that this stock is favorite one for opera
lions on large scale By some Of the most
aggressive traders on the floor and its
various movements appear TO have no more
significance than may be derived from the
dealings Of this character.

THE COTTON MARKET.
The Bull Movement Helped Along by
Southern Frosts.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The killing frost
in Texas, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Georgia,
Alabama, and, in fact, everywhere, except
Florida gave the cotton speculation new
life today, and transactions at the New
York cotton exchange, which a few days
ago had fallen below 600 bales, sud
denly shot UP to 400 600. Liverpool was
higher and spot prices at New York Balti-
more, Augusta, st. Louis, and Norfolk also
advanced Liverpool was up 2 1898 points
and New Orleans 10 to IL, and the receipts
at the port were very light, reaching only
2S 900 bales Add to this small interior
receipts, the activity and strength of the
cotton goods markets, reports that the
frOsts rendered out of the question the
top crop, reports that cotton is not being
held back at the South reports that for

that the months are now very close to-

writing on the wall and that sooner or later
the foreign houses, having danced, must
pay the piper.
Today one house bought 10000 bales
Of August cotton in one block at 1880.
Another house sold % 600 bales OF
the different months and still an
other bought 10000 bales. There was a
good deal of realizing, but on the whole
there was more disposition to buy than
TO sell, the pressure OF long cotton having
been lifted from the market. The close

Colorado Fuel and Iron was one Of the

1t is predicted by careful people close to

the iron business Of almost the entire

Comparisons Of the Chesapeake and Ohio
with the Norfolk and Western common
stock are being made to the advantage Of
the latter stock. There is much justice in
the argument that the earnings on Norfolk
common are likely TO be larger than those
on Chesapeake and Ohio It should be
taken into consideration. however, that the
position Of the Norfolk and Western peo-
pie, in having put their preferred stock
on a firm dividend basis, is likely to make
them somewhat more conservative about
giving the common dividends than the
Chesapeake and Ohio people Will be with
their single stock. Both securities seem to
be excellent purchases and perhaps the
common Norfolk viii prove to be the lead
er in the advance. but the probability is
the other way Norfolk and Western pre-
