STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 22.-Further improve
mcnt was shown by the stock market at
the opening, a number of active issues
rising to a higher level. The latest
news regarding the coal strike situation
doubtless was a contributing factor.
Business was active and fairly we'll DIS
tributed, With more covering by the
short interest. Commission houses were
prominent throughout the session. Mod
crate buying was reported for out-of-
accounts. ST. Paul, the feature of
Yesterdays market, made an advance
on heavy trading, and the Gould stocks
we're fractionally higher, with a one per
cent advance in Denver and RIO Grande.
Reading was active and strong, while q
better tone was shown by New York
Central, Illinois Central, Southern Pa
cifc and Pennsylvania. Gains of 3 and
32k points were registered by Delaware
and Hudson and Illinois Central. Rock
Island was firm on Western uylng Or
ders. Sugar and the Steel stocks were
the conspicuous industrials. Realizing
in large volume wiped out some OF the
early gains, st. Paul and Illinois Cen
trail making material declines, as did also
Conner and several other issues. The
list as a whole was fairly strong, cSpo-
c;alIv the hard coal group and the Gould
stocks. There also was a smart advance
IN Minneapolis, st. Paul and Sault ste
Marie, preferred. Comparatively nttie
was lone in Manhattan and the other
local fractions. For no apparent reason
the market went off on the publication Of
what was regarded as a fairly good bank
statement, the closing was generally pc

the day. Showers were generally re-
ported over the Southern States today,
but no heavy rains were reported. The
temperature was above sixty degrees in
the western portion of the belt, and be-
tween fifty and sixty in the eastern.
Showers predicted for eastern Texas
and northern Louisiana, otherwise gen
orally fair weather Will prevail in this

cept over southern Louisiana. This sea
son is a record breaker as far as the
absence of killing frost in the belt is
concerned, and there never has been
such an open fall and favorable condi-
tons to increase an outturn ever known.
Bradstreets in their weekly trade re-
view of November 21st, referring to this
subject, says: The mild open fall wealth
or is complained of as restricting the
movement of winter goods at retail, but
it IS not to be forgotten that present
temperatures favor the continued growth
of the cotton crop and a larger yield than
heretofore existing, for a week or ten
days past exaggerated reports of dam
age to the top crop in Texas and claims
that it would not have been circulated.
While some damage has evidently taken
place owing to the rains, the claim
that the top crop will not open is not
seriously considered by conservative OPP
orators.
The rate of London silver is the
lowest on record, and as china and other
silver countries are on that basis, it is
against the Manchester and continental
textile trade, preventing them from be-
coming free buyers of manufactured
goods. That the bureau estimate on De
ccmbcr 3rd will be very small is con
coded by every one in the trade. Re
ceipts, weather and the demand for spots

The Home Magazine of New York has
improved wonderfully since we saw it
last, several months ago, and a notable
article on 1.-THE Awakening of the South,
