By C. W. Lee & Co.
 New York. November 25.-It was a hoT- iday market but oery steady and not ait all disappointing. There were a few whipsawed by selling on the break and buying on the advance Some shorts bought early and were able to sell on the upturn. Some bought on the break and took profits on the advance The market was about the same as heretofore and no change is in sight. It is likely to be this way for some days and we fail to see where there is any outlook for change ufu- til after the Washington figures Every one expects bullish document ;nd there is no selling of importance. Reports com- ing from the south continue to furnish a basis for small crop estimates We have never known advices 10 be so pesslmistc on the crop. It is due to the known large consumption and the moderate yield per acre. A big crop was wanted and we have not had the yield expected. It seems smaller than it really is. because very much cotton is needed. We fail to see why prices should decline very much un- til the Washington figures are received Ii may be they will be under l0 01000oO or 10.200.000 then there may be trouble. We hear there is a short interest being ere ated and while the market is still long one, if anything startles the shorts prices would move up rapidly. On the other hand government report of 10 400 GOO would cause selling and lower prices We commend the policy of profit taking be- fore the bureau report. Evening up is advisable before such an important docu- ment. @.

PAPER SHUTDoWS HURT

New York;. November 25.-A number of industrial stocks suffered wide breaches In their Valuations again today, in contin- uation of the process which was so con spicuous in yesterdays dealings. Some of the weaker stocks then were aeutely affected today, while new. ones were brought into the movement There was little In the way of specific news to ac- count for the decline. News of shutting down of mills to work off supplies hurt International paper. Fluctuations in Col orado Fuel seemed to represent varying views of the provision made for capital needs by sale of coal and iron lands of the company.
 Regarding the railroad equipment stocks 1t was argued that much of the recent enormous increase in railroad equipment was owing to the use of cars to make good inadequate terminal and storage fa- cilities, so that there mlght be considered an over-supply of cars on hand at pres ent. The only news accompanying the break of over 9 points in railway steel spring preferred was the application to the stock exchange to list additional stock which was surprise for those conversant With the company's affairs. It may be taken for granted that well organized party skflfully directed the attack on the securities. The quick rebound in their prices was sufficient evidence of this in itself. But there is no reason to doubt the current reports of a general sweeping out of collateral in loans of industrial se- curities, especially of the newer undigest- ic fofr f1 Ioo f.,, s..I tI.. A the disfavor with which money lenders view these securities, makes itself felt Ill many departments. Many of these se- curities have never had a wide market ana others have lost whatever they had during the recent period of distrust over the whole industrial outlook.
 There is apparent also an effort to ad- Just the basis of prices of the whole body or industrials to that of the stocks which already have been severely scaled down. A relative firmness growing into strength or the United States steel stocks and of =Amalgamated Copper were consonant with this view. United States steel was probably affected by the reduction grant ed in freight rates on. steel rails for ex- port. A sharp rally in the raw copper market in London may have helped Amal- samated and Anaconda. The special move ment in Southern railway was without ex-- planation although the stock had been hberally tipped for an advance. The late recovery in the market wiped out about all of the principal losses and established fair gains in the industrials. Sterling ex- change made another wide drop in spite of the quieter tone of the local money market, and rumors of large additional engagements of gold for import were thus made plausible
 The bond market became very dull and was irregular. Total sales par value, 3D. 2So0oo. United States refunding 2s and the old and new As declined k and the 3s F per cent on the last call

eeipts today were again running less ex- cessive and it would not require many days of small receipts to cause stam- pede of shorts Sellers are growing more cautious and nervous every day, espe- cially as 1t Is certain that the bureau re- port next week will forecast a very small crop. Exports continue very heavy ana holders of spots in the south are far from showing anxiety to sell. In fact it is rd- garded as very remarkable that prices have held up 80 well in face of such free receipts and determined bear efforts to bring about a sentiment in favor of a very big crop after all Despite a good deal of offering the market kept mp fairly well during the early proceedings when prices went off as much as ! points for a while Ports for the day. 520o0 against 52.OOO Cables one point higher.
