NEW YORK STOCKS N BONDS,
STEADY, Persistent, Thong Moderate
Liquidation is Days Feature.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1s.-The most note
worthy feature of today's market was the
steady and persistent, though moderate
liquidation. Operations we're again com
paratively small and professional through
out, such Improvement as was shown at
times being due chiefly to covering by
shorts. Aside from the scarcity of time
equal to I and S per cent for sixty and
ninety days, there was no very unfavorable
news.
Call money was easy and in moderate de-
mand and gold exports seemed no nearer
than they have been for weeks past. 1t is
clear. however, that pressure is still being
directed against certain of the pool stocks
and that the substantial interests are Of
fering no real support. Opening prices were
level. Manhattan was the conspicuous fea-
ture of the entire day, opening with a gain
and with a net gain OF 2Ss. The movement
In this stock still lacks explanation. other
features of the early trading were Erie,
United. States Steel and Colorado Fuel, all
of which showed Improvement. on the
other hand Reading, Union Pacific, Cana
dian Pacific and st. Paul were very heavy.
fessional element took the short side all
through the early session, in spite of the
insiders Louisville & Nashville was steady,
IN tSs ea May S a]T5SshGop to S seSqs asa I9atW ST.
Paul, and Louisville lost all of its early
gain. Rock Island also fell OF and Read
days closing. The closing of Sugar was
\ partly attributed to the advance in prod
ucts, but that stock closed without change.
A reactionary tendency was manifested by
Colorado Fuel and Tennessee Coal and
Iron, while the steel stocks, American
Smelling and Amalgamated Copper ap-
peared to nave some support. Later st.
Paul rallied a trihe, as did Reading, while
Manhattan sold at the highest point of the
day and the top figure. reached In a long
time. The coming dividend In Sugar was
| offered at ~ per cent which suggested the
possibility of a reduction In the dividend
from Z to 6 per cent. In the final hour the
| list reflected renewed selling, which, though
moderate, was again persistent and scat
tering. This movement carried prices down
practically all through the list, with the
exception of Manhattan, which retained the
greater part OF its advance. There was an
utter absence OF commission business.
London bought and sold equally to the ex-
tent Of 10000 shares, all OF an arbitrage
character. and the close was weak. In the
local financial situation the only feature
of interest was the payment by the sub
treasury of $960, 900 on telegraph transfer
from San Francisco. This Is believed TO
represent Australian and Klondike gold
received at that center. Tn subtreasury
transferred 500, 900 to New Orleans.
Railroad bonds showed heaviness
throughout the day, but declined in the
active issues which was small. Total sales,
par value, $4,000. United States bonds
were weak on last call.
The following are the closing prices on
the New York Stock exchanges:

cattle here this morning than anticipated,
so that both fat cattle and feeders sold

There were a few punches of cornfed
change in the situation was noticeable.
Buyers were a little slow about taking
hold of them, the same as has been the
case for some time past, but as a rule
they paid just about steady prices for them.
The cow market was fairly active and
could be quoted steady to strong as COM
pared with Yesterday. Cattle began NOV
Ing toward the scales at an early hour
and as supplies were not at all excessive
practically everything was disposed of at
a reasonably early hour.
Bulls, veal calves and stays did not show
enough change to be worthy Of mention.
The demand for the better grades of
ptockeFs and feeders was fully equal TO
the supply and fully steady prices were
paid. The common grades Of course did
not change hands as freely as the good
stuff, but still everything brought as good
prices as were paid yesterday.

good enough to bring $500, which is the
highest price paid In some little time.
The general run of cattle, though, sold
without much trouble at just about steady
prices. Range cows commanded steady to
strong prices and the market showed con-
siderable activity. The demand was gen.
eral for the commoner classes, as well as
for the choicer grades. There was a fairly
liberal demand for stockers and feeders
showing quality and the market held fully.
steady. Even the less desirable kinds sold
without much trouble at prices that were
fully as good as those In force yesterday.

EP-I were only about half as
many sheep here today as yesterday and
there was very little change In the market.
Fat stun did not sell any Ito freely, but still
most everything desirable was disposed OF
in good season. AS compared with the close
of last week the market may be quoted 100

sheep and lambs offered and they also sold
without much difficulty at steady prices.
Some native fed ewes brought $3.50. fed
$.75.
There was only a fair demand for feeders,
but the supply was not large enough to
cause a break in prices. Common stuff, and
especially common light lambs, were hard
to move at any price. but that has been
the case for some time past.
