REVIEW OF MARKETS.
FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
Stocks, Money, Exchange. Bonds, Grain,
Cotton, Provisions, Etc.

New York, November Ito days
stock market developed q decidedly
sDotty character. The railroads fell in
TO tho background again and The high
" speculative industrials were brought
forward into activity. An effort was
made TO continue the campaign against
the shorts in the iron and steel stocks
hut the higher prices i'll this group
brought out such large sales that the
efforts to advance prices had to be
abandoned. The whole group with the
exception Of Tennessee Coal, shows net
losses The latter stock, after dropping
to 1859. rose strongly to 119, and held
there When the movement in the iron
and steel stocks proved abortive the
bulls turned their attention TO Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. which was a favorite in
speculation for the rest of the day.
The movement in this stock was again
directed against the very heavy snort
interest believed to exist in 1t, and the
rapid advance induced large covering.
When the rise had extended to above
80, enormous blocks were brought out,
which made it difficult to sustain the
price. This stock rose to 90h. yielded 4
point, rallied again and yielded q small
fraction. The New York traction group
was strong in sympathy. The Leather
stocks were also taken up for further
aggressive advance, the common touch
ing 80 and the preferred S37s. Sugar
was active and Irregular, but shows
net gain. The Tobacco stocks were
weak early,bu rallied later. There were
Isolated movements in Missouri, Kan
sas and Texas, Cleveland, Cincinnati
and Chicago, and St Louis preferred,
the Pacific Coast stocks, Wisconsin
Central. New York Air Brake and
Standard Rope, which were all strong.
Mailing preferred dropped 3 points.
Otherwise the trading was not very
active and the movement of prices was
narrow, net changes being small and
mixed. Owing to the holiday In Lon-
don, pressure from that point was re-
Taxed.
The call money market worked sppre-
ciably during the Afternoon. having ruled
to 20 per cent. Large amounts were
loaned at per cent. before the close,
and the rate fell to 5 per cent. The
easier rate for money did not induce
any large ventures on the long side in
stocks. but the bears were manifestly
uneasy and anxious TO cover short lines
before the strinGency in money relaXes.
To-day's advance in sterling exchange
Is believed to be evidence in a real re-
Taxation in the money stringency and
New York exchange at Chicago and st.
Louis was strong to-day, showing n
cessation of pressure from those points.
AS Boston, on the contrary, there was
sharp decline In New York exchange.
Money continues TO move to the South
from New York and the sub treasury is
making drafts on the local banks.
The bond market was quiet, aside
from an active demand for Standard
