There is much talk in political circles
of a slate being made up by the friends
of five candidates for the constitutional
Convention from the city. Indeed, there
are those who believe that four of the
candidates have already been centered
upon by the friends of each other, and
that the siate>Iakers are "up IN the air
regarding the fifth man. IL it is tue
that four candidates have combined for
their mutual success, there may be some

STOCKS AND BONDS

New York, Nov 16.-There was con-
tinued speculation for the rise today, fol-
lowing yesterdays recovery from Thurs
days realizing movement, but the ad-
vance was interrupted by realizing again
here and there, and the buying was con-
gested in few stocks. There was large
and concentrated buying of the Readings
accompanied by rumors that the company
is soon to be benefited by an increased
dividend on it's holdings of New Jersey
Central stock. There was sympathetic
strength in other stocks including some of
the coal carriers. American Locomotive
stocks were in notable demand on re-
ports of large orders from ell parts of
the country. The trans continental rail-
road stocks moved rregularly under real
izing from time to time, and there was a
sharp setback for the Local fractions, Su-
gar, Amalgamated Copper, and Peoples s
Gas, which unsettled the late dealings
and made the closing irregular. Much
stress was laid by bullish traders on
persistent rumors that an offer Vt large
block of government bonds is pending.
1t was also rumcred that the Secretary
OF the Treasury was about 70 raise the
bid price for Government bonds. No sub
stantial basis could be discovered for
either rumor. The gain in cash reserves
by the banks. in spite of the large gold
exporters, was a more real ground for
confidence of the money outlook. The an
nouncement just before the close of an
engagement of 100000 for export next
Tuesday by Boston banking house upset
hope that the gold export movement
might be checked owing to the easier tone
of money and the rise in sterling ex-
change at Continental points.

tinued broad and active this week at

Our market in sympathy opened 4 to 5
points higher, but when it was ascertain
ed that the frost was preceded by dry
weather values declined to points
from the topi being accelerated by more
liberal receipts, closing at a net loss of
to 3 points The predictions are for
clear and colder weather throughout the
belt tonight and Sunday Interior cor
respondents claim that the materializa-
tion of killing frosts now preceded by dry
weather was essential for opening the
bolls of the second growth and were free
sellers. Spot holders in all sections of
the South evidenced a disposition to
meet the decline and were it not for the
lack of demand, the probability is larger
sales would have been made. While
rallies may be established from time to
time, it looks as if prices will gradual
ly seek a lower level owing to the un-
satisfactory European textile conditions,
unless the movement decreases decidedly.
