DETAILS ARE GUARDED
NEVERTHELESS THIS MUCH is
LEARNED.
AMERICAN INTERESTS NOT NEGLECTED.
The United States Approves the Projected Ar
rangements Between Germany and
Great Britain, and the FinaIites
win Take Place Shortly.
viii Take Place Shortly.

London, Nov. G.-Although the exact
terms of the agreement are still care
fully guarded, the Associated Press is
able to say that the Samoan question is
practically settled, and that the fnali-
ties will take place within few days,
unless some most unexpected hitch oc-
ours.
1t can be said that American control
of Tutuila Island is confirmed and agreed
to, while the United States has, it is
understood, signified its approval of the
projected arrangements between Ger
many and Great Britain. Regarding
the details of the latter, the British
Foreign Office remains mute, except to
authorize the statement that none of
the recent surmises of the German press
have correctly outlined the plan, which
now seems sure of acceptance 1t is also
emphatically denied that the United
States has been in any way neglected in
the negotiations.
1t is pointed out that the United States
having secured Tutuiba Island, obtained
all she expected or desired, hut though
versant with and always consulted about
the negotiations which proceeded between
Germany and Great Britain Last
week it was believed that an impasse
had been reached and the diplomats
were inclined to fear that no settlement
was attainable in the near future. The
sudden turn in the negotiations and the
overcoming of the apparently unsur-
mountabe obstacles created almost as
much surprise as qualification. OF
course, it is still within the limits of
possibility that another and entirely
unexpected contingency may arise du-
ring the interim of the drawing UP Of
the papers and the signing of them.
But there is every reason to believe that
an official statement will be given out
this week announcing the terms of the
settlement of this long standing inter
national difficulty

WEDNESDAY. Dot. IL.

"WEDNESDAY. Dot IL.
It was plain from the transactions in stocks
to-day that tho market has been sold to stand
still In other words. the advocates OF lower
prices have carried their campaign to point
where they cease to make headway. and II
follows. logically. that further sales would
simply increase the dangers Of their posi-
ton. Percoiving this. doubtless. they have
begun to reduce the volume OF their
ventures and to-day they bought stocks
quite freely. They discovered that when
they stopped selling the supply OF leading
shares was very materially reduced. and also
that the Improvement In prices did not tenn ut
recent buyers to part with their holdings. On
the contrary. the we'll sustained advance
brought In some com mission business during
the last half OF tho day.
Though monetary conditions are not yet
right for a large speculative movement on
the Stock Exchange indications are not
wanting that such a movement will de-
velop az tho money market returns to a
q normal state. Money was easier to-day.
but on the other hand foreign exchange was
nrmer. and there are orders here from abroad
to ship gold IL sufficient quantity OF bills can
be sold at slightly higher rates for sterling
than were quoted to-day. In the meantime
tho demand for exchange in connection with
the settlement OF the Central Pacific refunding
operation continues. and the supply OF COM
mercial bills 10 restricted by the decrease In
shipping facilities caused by the withdrawal
from service OF merchantmen by the British
Government for use as army transports.
The most significant development on the
floor Of the Stock Exchange was the greater
activity in bonds at advancing prices There
was also a better demand for stocks that are
generally classified as investm ent issues. Chi
cago 4 Northwestern was especially strong at
a net advance OF 81, points. OF tho more spec
ulative issues Brooklyn Rapid Transit and
Sugar Refining were again the leaders at net
gains OF 2ia and 2's per cent. respectively.
Other strong features were Peoples Gas. the
local traction stocks. Union Pacific preferred.
all OF the anthracite shares. Now York Cen
trail. Laclede Gas. General Electric and the iron
and stesl stocks.
Although the dealings in these last were I'M
usually light they were sufficient to fore
shadow what may happen when the sellers Of
yesterday endeavor to recover their stocks.
An advance of 81 a ton In the price Of steel
rails at Chicago for 1901 delivery Is pretty con-
elusive evidence that tho improvement in the
iron industry has not yet reached it's culmina-
ton. The closing OF the market was strong at
about the best prices.
