PRICES WERE ADVANCED

New York, November 1.-The striking fact about todays stock market was the decreased volume of trading. Yesterday s reaction was checked and quite an impos- ing show of strength was made after wards, but there was no renewal of the in- ordinate buying demand which carried prices up with rush all through last week. The market in fact dropped back into a factor of ordinary importance, bus mess continuing on large scale compared with the normal but the movement Of prices obviously depending on artificial stimulants. Yesterdays sharp decline in duced some selling orders from outside sources this morning, but the powerful support by the bull pools who are still oper- ating for an advance checks the decline and secured control of the market almost immediately There was some small buy ing for London on account, but it was not a potent factor in the market It is prob able also there was some buyint from speculative interests which haAe been watching for a reduction ever sAlce the election. The buying fell off as prizes rose above yesterdays level.
 The most effective movements of the day were in Pennsylvania and in Northern Pa cific. There were vague rumors afoat of further deals of the Nennsylvania Com pany of the same character the series of requirements of stock in other com panies earlier in the year. The accom- panying strength of B. & O., Norfolk and Western and some of the coalers was in tended to give color to these rumors, but no authoritative confirmation was forth coming, and the stock of Pennsylvania was highly manipulated all. day.
 The advance extended all the way from 1$s in Pennsylvania to 71a in General Flee tric. These stocks about measure the di- mansions of the upward movement, gains elsewhere being for the most part in sym pathy. Consequently when heavy realiz- ing developed in Northern Pacific and Pennsylvania, which practically wiped out their early gains and in Manhattan, the whole market turned weak again and fell back to an average level about as low as that of the moyning There was q final rally about it but it was lacking in snap and was not well maintained, the market closing irregular. Pacific Mail, Linseed oil preferred and one or two of the steel stocks were actively reactionary.
 Call mOnye got up to per cent again and the time money market continued firm and rather active. Apprehensions of money squeeze are an influence in the more cau- tious attitude of the speculation, but the fact that the public demand for stocks has evidently been satisfied for the time be- ing is the preponderant fact of the specu- lation
