lRREGULARITY CONTINUED

New York, November 15.-Strength was renewed in the stock market today, but there was nothing like a resumption of speculative enthusiasm of last week. There were more stocks that moved strongly up- ward than yesterday, and there were fewer that closed the day lower than they left off last night, but there was nevertheless a continuance of the irregular tendency in the market. The points of strength though more numerous were still somewhat iso- lated or disassoeiated, and the market did not at any time show permeating and wig orous strength. The gains seelned to be due either to the operations of speculative pools working for an advance in special stocks or to causes affecting the indlVld- ual stocks. General Electric duplicated it's gain of yesterday, with another six point rise, carrying 1t to 1601s on large earnings reported. Yesterdays strength in the coal CTS became largely localized in New Jer- sey Central, which was up at on time AZ points on reports of coming increase in div idends. The movement of broadest scope of the day was in the winter wheat grang- CTS, which advanced between and points all around on the good weather for the crop in that territory.
 Consolidated Gas, Continental Tobacco, Peoples Gas, Tennessee Coal, Brooklyn Transit and some of the specialtles were strong in the same way. London bought a small number of stocks on balance. The professional pressure against the market was relaxed, and there was no further signs of urgent liquidation, although profit taking was in evidence at some points all day. Money was apparently easier and a favorable bank statement on Saturday IS beginning to be discounted.
 The total exports as well as the excess of exports over imports, are far greater than those for any previous month In the country's history, the excess of exports showing a total of 92,475.226 The phenom- enal cotton exports are largely responsible for this showing, but after allowing for this the gratifying fact Is shown that the value of manufactured products exported shows an increase over October of nearly 5000, ,0O0. The ability of the country to sup ply all requisite credits in view of this extraordinary trade showing, cannot be- cause for any serious apprehension.
 The bond market was of the same charac- ter as the stock market, showing strength but not at the high level of last week activity Total sales, par value, S2,76O,OO0. United States refunding 2s and the Sc cou- pon declined IS per cent.
