STOCK MARKET FEATURES
AS Reviewed by Prince &c Whitley Yes


AS Reviewed by Prince &c Whitley Yes
terday
| New York, Nov. 26.-Although the
London market gave no evidence OF 1t
the air here was full of rumors relating
| to the cars death and revolution II
! Russia. Besides this there were reports
that the reception in France of Kruger
! was looked upon with disfavor In Eng
| land. With all these rumors cut and
| the reactionary tendency at the close OF
| Saturdays market, we opened with a
! distinctly better sentiment. Europe
sent buying orders for quite an amount
of the internationally listed securities,
and the accumulation of buying orders
over Sunday was larger than perhaps
generally expected. The southern Sc
curities especially We're in great demand
and In this connection it should not be
forgotten that the south has been ena-
bled through the cotton famine existing
all the world over at the beginning OF
the cotton season to dispose of 3,OOO,000
bales at an average Of nearly $50 per
bale, putting her on q financial basis
such as was never known before for this
time of the year. All industries south
should participate in this prosperity.
Some of the industrials, and in par-
ticular the steel stocks, were laggards;
other industrials were variable. On the
whole, it was distinctly railroad Sc
curlty day and general sentiment, bar
ring unforeseen news from Europe, was
q good one But even If the Car of
Russia should die and our market
should temporarily become affected we
think that ample provision has been
made for such an eVentuality and In
the long run there is nothing on Euro
pean security lists better than our stan
dard railroads
Commercial markets were easy, which
in case Of wheat is contradictory TO
these reports, while cotton might tenn
porarily suffer, but not for long because
the crop seems a short one and the de-
ypand is larger than the supply.
Foreign exchange was firm owing to
lower discounts in Europe; actual rates
4.S1% and 4.85% Money was 4 to AZ
per cent. on call.
Wheat has not huctuated much; Eu-
rope Is willing to advance, but the west
Is not ready to see higher prices. Spec
ulation was small
Cotton had quite reaction on the
rumors from Europe and closing out of
weakly held cotton. Prices offer good
chance for purchase for a great rise lat
er on. The stock market during the
last hour held very steady uneil near
the close, when under weakness of the
industrials the whole market suffered
somewhat and the final close was irreg-
ular.
