A DULL DAY IN
 STOCK MARKET The Movement Was Sluggish
 and Irregular THERE WAS LITTLE SUPPORT Dealings Were Left In the Hands of Room Traders-Raiiy In Late Deal ines-The Close Was Active
 and Irregular.
THERE WAS LITTLE SUPPORT

New York, November 2S-Today's stock market was the dullest since the Monday preceding the election. There were no deal ings on any considerable scale, and the movement of prices was sluggish and ir- regular and mot important. The market narrowed very considerable: also the num- Der of different stocks dealt in being small CT than for many days past. It is improp- able that tomorrows holiday prompted the curtailment of the speculative ventures.
 The dealings were left very largely in the hands of room tnaders, and the larger in- terests and the public were apparently out of the market entirely. There was no great pressure of liquidation, but when amy con- siderable volume of stocks was offered there was not sufficient demand to sustain the prices. On the other hand even a small demand was sufficient to affect considerably the price, as the selling orders In the mar ket were also very small. The markets was generally heavy In the early part largely in- fuenced by weakness In the London mar ket. The disclosure through yesterdays London settlement of a long account in American Is interpreted as weakening the technical position of this market, and the growing tghtness of money in London gives rise to the apprehension that New York may have to consume speculative liquidation from that center. In fact, the selling for London account today was esti- mated as high as 75O0 shares on balance. Both call money and discounts In London are above the bank rate
 The early heaviness of the market gave way quite generally to a recovery in the late dealings after London had ceased sell ing. Probably covering by room shorts was factor in this movement. The gains were not all retained to the close, which was moderately active and irregular.
 The bond market was quite active and yielded in spots. Total sales, par value, $4,055, ,O00.
 United States bonds were all unchanged on last call.

New York, November 2S.-The stock mar ket was active but irregular today. After a good advance in most of the list there was a reaction due to heavy realizing over the holiday. Sugar at ohe time was quite strong but could not stand the heavy sell ing, and closed at about the bottom. Ten nessee Coal and Iron was very dull within a range of from T to 71R. The granger list was quite steady and showed some dispo- sition to advance Brooklyn was weak, self

RAIDERS WERE ALL AT SEA

New York, November 2S..EXcitement and apathy alternated in today's cotton market with variations correspondnglY extreme. The customary holiday evening up occurred and this served to bring about frequent waves of buying and selling; but as rule business was small and of pro fessional nature, with the trade all at sea owing to semi-sensational fluctuations abroad an dto more or less conflicting ru- mors that strong parties were making bold attempt at manipulation.
 The market opened weak 2 to points lower under tremendous liquidation and heavy outside selling, mostly for foreign account. The general haste to unload fol- flowed a fal of to I points in the English market, sad by private parties to have re- suited from a drive by interests known to represent influential American parties. Soon afterwards the story gained circula- ton and was quite generally accepted as true, that leading Philadelphia export house and several well known New Orleans parties had formulated a plan to manipu- late the English, New York and New Or leans markets
 FolloWing the opening there was .spurt of covering, which carried prices up 15 points form the low market Soon after noon the market suffered a severe relapse under room and light outside selling and for the rest of the session was irregular The close was steady with prices net to II points lower.
