WALL STREET REVIEW CONTINUED SPECULATION FOR sa A RISE. -
 Buying Was Congested in a Few. Stocks, However-Large Orders for American Locomotives ..
 are Reported.

f New York, Nov. 16.-There was contin- lied Speculation for the rise today follow ing yesterday's recovery from Thursdays realizing movement but the advance was Interrupted by realizing again here ana there and the buying was congested Tn
 a few stocks. There was large ana con centrated buying of the Readings accom- . nanied by rumors that the, company is |, soon to benefit by an increased dividend
 on. its holdings of New Jersey Central stock There was sympathetic strength in other coalers including some or the soft coal carriers. American locomotive stocks were in notable demand on reports
 of large orders from all parts of the country. The continental railroad stocks moved irregularly under realizing from
 time to time and there was sharp set
 back for the local transactions, Sugar, Amalgamated Copper and Peoples Gas
 which unsettled the late dealings and
 made the closing irregular. Much stress was laid by bullish traders on persistent rImors that an offer of q large block or
 government bonds Is pending. It was also rumored that the Secretary Of the Treas"
 ury was about to raise the bid price for . government bonds. No substantial basis could be discovered for either ruTior. The gain fin cash reserves by the banks In
 spite of the large gold exports, was a more material ground for confidence over the money outlook. The, announcement just before the close of an engagement of $500. 900 for export next Tuesday by Boston banking house upset hope tpat
 the gold export movement might De checked owing to the easier tone of mon- ey and the rise in sterling exchange at
 continental points. The details of the plan of settlement of the disputed uues- tions of control in the northwestern
 railroad would have been eagerly antfci- pated for several weeks past and this set

New York, Nov. 16.-The F1nancier says: So far as those movements of the bank statement, could be traced, the banks gained $l,0O6.0O0. It is noteworthy that the gains by the banks through the receipts of new geld and the net iu- en:ouned to $4,642. 600, more than offset the gold exports to Europe. which were ,: 6(2SOO. the difference being $21, 1,6OO Moreover, the banks gained through new gold and disburs .ments for bonds Sc 9l47OO. while the banks lost through the finance operations of the Sub-Treasury and gold exports 7.S6S,7 700, showing a not loss 70 the banks of only $449,OOO. The
 benk statement showed a net gain of $SSO, ,2OO in cash. an amount somewhat surprisingly close 70 the above noted es- Ilmate' The return was affected of course, by the various items reported by the Seventh National Bank which re- l stunned business this week Loans were

The bank statement was made on rising av- erageS for cash, there having been paid on Friday 1920, l09 for unmatured bonds received at the sub-treasurv on that day. 1t is expected that bond purchases will be large at least during the early part of the current bank week, for more than s2,OO0,0O0 will then be offered to the Treasury. The resulting improved condi- tion, of the banks at the beginning of the week will tend largely to coumteract any adverse effect which may be produced by the withdrawals of gold for export, even though such shipments should begin on Tuesday. Another favorable influence, which will probably be exerted on the money market is the offerings of funds which will doubtless be attracted hithcr from nearby cities, such as Boston and Bh1llnalnhit. lnan rot tac rt1I, firm. The bankers who are largely in- terested in the Northern group of stocks were among the liberal lenders of money last week and they will doubtless seeK to prevent the maintenance of high rates while they are engaged in marketing their properties.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.

Chicago, Nov. 16.-Weakness in corn as the result of a slumping cash market and expected larger receipts next week brought lower prices in all grains and December wheat closed 3-Sc lower; De- cenber csrn 1-2G5-Sc lower and Decem- Der oats 3-Sc down. Provisions closed 1-2 to 10 lower.
 Wheat at the outset held firm and trad CTS expected a strong market resulting from higher cables and the continuation of the bullish tone of the past week. De- cember opened shade to 1-Sl1-4c high CT at P 7-Sa72 3-4. Northwestern and pri- mary receipts, however. were bearish and the customary Saturday liquidation start ed decline. There was some recovery on covering and higher Antwerp cables but shortly afterwards occurred the break in corn and prices sagged again, Decem- Der closing weak, 3-Sc down at 72 1-4G3-Sc. Local receipts were 86 cars, twenty of contract grade Minneapolis and Duluth reported S27 cars. making total for the three points of 913 cars, against 962 last weeks and 691 year ago Primary re- ceipts were l.024.000 bushels, against ZIG, 900 bushels in corresponding day bear ago. Seaboard clearances in wheat and flour equalled 610,000 bushels. The seaboard re ported 3s loads taken for export. Aus tralian shipments for the week were 160,- 900 bushels. against 476,000 last week. Corn broke early, started by disappointing ca bles and influenced further by liberal li- quidation. December started a shade high CT to shade lower and quickly lost 1-2c. Covering at the low price and some com mission house buying brought December back to its opening price again, but soon thereafter began to arrive discouraging news of the cash situation at Kansas City. The spot article was still selling at a premium over futures but expecta- tions for a freer movement of the new crop next week. together with a general decline in the outside markets brought a heavy renewal of profit taking and De- cember sagged to 59 7-S. closing weak 1-2 @5-8c lower. at 60. Receipts were 103 cars
 Trade in oats was heavy all morning, though with an easier tendency. Decem- Der started 1-Sd14c lower and was in> huenced by the corn slump and a cor responding decline in the sample market Cash oats. however. were still 242 IA over May. Prices fiuctuated rapidly, but narrowly. December selling between 40 3-S and 8 5-S@3-4, and closed rather weak, 3lsc lower at the latter figure. Receipts were 215 cars.
 Provisions were dull and easier. The cash demand was only moderate and spec ulation was small. Larger receipts ex- pected Monday also had a bearish infiu- ence. aJhuary pork closed 10c lower at 1880; aJnuary lard 1-3c down At $50 and January ribs 1-3c lower at 7.65.
 Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat SO corn, 12O; oats. 1855 cars; hogs, 49,0OO head

New Orleans, Nov. l6.-There was very little doing in the market for spot cot ton today, the total sales belhg put 5.5JV bales of spots and 1.200 to arrive The evident hcaviness in spots on the other side, combined with the developing snort sentiment in contract circles caused them to hold off, and bids, as a rule. were below board figures on tne othet hand factors. while willing sellers at moderate concession were unwilling 10 meet the views of the purcnaslhE oie- ment in full and the result was tt.tl nay

Shortly after the opening. calls desnt re the fact that freezing weather oDtalns pretty well throughout the Deit, putttliIs tllll an end effectually to any further hopes of additional crop production. the mar ket was sold down slowly but steadily. There was no effort on the part or the bears to work prices to lower level and when ths noon gong sounded the local hoard showed net losses from yes terdav's range of points on December and January and to points on all other months.

F.sn,n 3. Hover.

Flemin s. Hover, more generally
known to his numerous friends as
"Flem", died in Denver Last Friday at
the home Of his s,ster-in-law, Mrs. M.
Hover. Mr.. Hover had not been in
good health for some time past, and
when the last rabbit hunt occurred. he
was taken to Denver, with the returning
hunters, to receive medical treatment.
For a while, he seemed to improve, and
strong hopes were entertained, that he
might recover his former health. Dur
ing the sudden cold snap, he contracted
fresh cold, and grew worse, until his
death on Friday afternoon. The body
was brought here and the funeral SER
vices were held Sunday afternoon, un-
der the auspices Of the Woodmen and
Masons. of both which orders, the de-
ceased was q prominent member. A
very large number of citizens attended
the ceremonies and paid their last trib-
ute of respect to their old friend and
neighbor.
Fiemin q. Hover settled on his ranch,
northeast of Lamsr, in 1889 and estab-
lishsd a comfortable home for himself
and family, the hospitality of which
was often shared by others. In addi-
tion to his ranch anairs, Mr.. Hover did
much contract work in end around La

mar, his services being always gladly
engaged when possible.
He was lover Of hunting and fishing,
and as such, was one Of the most prom
inent promoters Of the annual rabbit
hunt, and usually entertained Parson
Tom Uzzell and his particular friends.
Mr.. Hover was also one of the original
members of The Lamar Fishing and
Gun company, and keenly enjoyed the
sports at the reservoirs. "Flem" will
be SADLY missed, for nearly every one
knew and liked him, his genial, hearty
manner attracted his fellowmen.
Mr.. Hover was born in Gallipolis,
Ohio, and at the time of his death was
forty-nine years of age. He was married
in 1871 to Miss Fannie Martin and his
widow and son, Thomas, survive him,
and in their bereavement, they have
the sincere sympathy Of the entire COM
