SOME STRENGTH DEVELOPED

New York, November 24.-The most strik- Ing point in todays market was its dullness compared with the recent level of activity. Neither the public nor the large operators seemed to be taking any part in the mar ket and prices drifted rather aimlessly and hesitatingly.
 The continued weakness in some stocks, especially steel and wire, at the opening was offset by the aggressive strength of others. Northern Pacific opened over a point higher and extended the advance later to over points. There was independent strength shown at different times by Union Pacific and by the Southern railway stocks, which lifted them 1 to IF points each. There seemed to be some inkling of the favorable character of the bank statement before it's appearance on the tape. The bear traders have circulated rumors since yesterday that some mysterious influence was at work which would spoil the good features of the statement Shorts covered heavily in advance of the statement but a rally occurred which lifted the whole market well over last night many stocks rising a point or more. The bears were much struck by the failure of any large buying demand to develop with the easy money conditions indicated and they put out fresh short lines in the last few min utes of the trading, making the closing active and weak and near the lowest ex- cept for the stocks where particular strength has been shown The market at mo time showed urgent liquidation, which was the feature yesterday, but new buying was equally lacking even when the techni- cal question became distinctly favorable.
 An active business has been done in bonds, but it has at no time approached the high record volume of the market of January, 1899. Prices are generally higher on the week.

 however, was against trade in finished

While the trade awaits the coming of the government bu- reau report on December l with much anx- iety, the impression prevails that 1t will confirm estimates of 934, which would stim- ulate new buying, still the movement at ports from day to day will influence prices according to its magnitude A futterng market, however, will likely be in order for the near future.
