THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Nov. lolhc selling pressure today
again proved more than the market could ah-
result. There are Il few exceptions both in the
railroad and industrial departments, but the
strength in these few stocks was not free from
an appearance of manipulation by the bulls for
the purpose OF sustaining the market and en-
colTuging renewed buying for the advance. The
downward course OF prices promptly set in after
the market had opened generally higher. Easier
money in London and the extent of the advance
for Americans prompted some speculative ven.
lures in that market and there were stories
cabcd from abroad of great trunk line conso-
dations, showing that the rumor monger lad
been regaling the British public with much the
same kind of fare as that which has been Of
fered in Wall street for some time past. The
lower prices here in New York attracted buying
by the arbitrage brokers which served a sus.
tanning influence but the continued evidence of
depression in London turned seller and lqudated
very heavily, the sales on balance being esti-
mated at upwards of 10000 shares. Selling from
domestic sources was also very large. The rail-
roads as rule were most affected and many
standard stocks were forced point or over below
Saturdays level In the late dealings u strong
demand developed for Northern Pacific, which
carried that stock up 2as, to 6sH Great North
crn preferred rose easily and extreme y point,
hut this rally, while it affected the market gem
orally and drove the bears to cover did not hold,
long stock coming out OH the advance. When
the bears perceived this they made a fresh at.
tack and drove prices down again, and while
the level of the market did not fall generally to
the early low point the closing was active and
easy. Amone>silc points OF special strength
should be mentioned General Electric, Metropcli.

ment to account for the downward course OF
prices and it was largely due to the technical
causes, The inbred custom of professional oper-
ators to take the bear side OF the market against
a public bull position asserted itself, and there
was much solid opinion to be heard that the rise
in prices had over-run itself and that q reaction
was overdue. Total sales, I,25j,500 shares
The volume Of business in bonds as well as
in stocks was considerably diminished, but prices
OF bonds held frmer than those OF stocks. Total
