NEW YORK, Nov 20-The principal
characteristic of tCdays market was the
decreasing interest shown even by the
profe ssionaI operators who have had the
market practically to themselves for
some time past. The fact that no further
gold would go out tomorrow beyond the
$500.O00 engaged Yesterday afforded some
relief from the feeling of depression,
there having been apprehension that the
French steamer sailing tomorrow would
carry away several millions dollars The
professional bulls sought to stimulate
this into renewed movement for the
advance and in this intent there was
large buying and active manipulation of
limited number of stocks at the hands
Of speculative pools.
The growing evidence of a common
purpose among the executives of North
western states to combat the purposes of
the Northern Securities company and to
seek the aid of additional legislation for
that purpose has an unSettling influence
upon sentiment. Much remains to be
cleared up regarding the actual organiza-
ton and operation of the settlement
which was the object of that company'S
formation. The public is still absolute
. ~ uniformed as to what secur Ees or
consideration have passed by which the
Union Pacific was allowed to share the
power in the Northwest is to be main
tanned only by actual holdings in the
Northern Securities company it is not
clear how either of the parties can af-
ford to bring to market the bare minor
ity of the holdings by which it was cal
culated there would be a release: of a part
of the immense capital which was locked
up in the struggle for control.
The tranS-continental stocks generally
continued to show depression in spite of
the efforts to get prices higher at other
points.
The local fractions continued in large
demand. but were irregular on occasional
realizing and there was strength in the
cealers, New Jersey Central particularly
rising 81 on rumorss of a coming increase
in dividend The Vanderbilts developed
marked strength at advances of ~ to 8
following the sale of 500 shares of Mich
igan Central at 140. Peoples Gas was
forced down an extreme 81 to 9S1s in the
late dealings on the news of the heavy
appraiSement for taxation fixed by the
Illinois state board of equalization. The
American Locomotive stocks suffered
from realizing. Chicago. Indianapolis &
louisville and st. Louis & San Francisco
were strong on reports of good earnings.
The money market was distinctly easier
today and the rate for call loans did not
rise at all to percent which has been
the recent maximum and fell away de-
cidedly in the late dealings. Foreign ex-
change continued firm and the opinion
is still held thats gold will go out on
Saturday to London direct, especially as
renlittances are due for American sub
scriptionS to the last instaliInent on the
British consoI issue, (which is payable i'll
