Break In Sterling Exchange.

Meyer Kiser Indianapolis.1
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Dullness supervened in
the stock market again to-day, and trading was
comparatively light There very good
tone, however. and the market in the later trad
ing was decidedly strong. The most important
incident of the day the announcement that
the National City Bank had secured in London
1000 900 in gold. which it intended to bring here
soon possible. 1t is probable this institu-
ton has secured more than the 81, ,0000 900 Of
fcially announced, for the cables say that all
the available gold in the market there was Sc
cured by this bank. The sterling exchange mar
ket was demoralized during greater part Of the
day. and rates for demand broke to 81 Sc %, which
is sufficient TO induce the imports of gold. Three
causes contributed TO this break in the exchange
market. They are the higher rates for money,
influence of cotton and grain bulls, and the fact
that foreigners have been rather steadily buying
stocks and bonds. There Is no reason TO doubt,
however. that the Bank Of England will take
steps to prevent much gold from coming to this
country. Gold bars and eagles were advanced
to-day, and il is safe to say that the banks dis.
count rate will be advanced on Thursday If ex
change continues weak.

Trading Was Professional.

IAlbert r. Thompson & Co., Indianapolisl
NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Although the volume Of
business was limited. the market maintained an
apparently firm undertone throughout. Activity
increased somewhat, and prices showed some
disposition TO advance after announcement that
gold had been engaged for import. At no time
was there any attempt to depress prices by any
liberal offerings of stock, and the whole the
market acted as though IL were pretty thoroughly
sold out and IL a moderate advance might be
scored on any fair volume OF business. Trading
however. continued of very professional char
acter, and ii Is doubtful whether much impor-
tance be attached to to-day's market move
ments.
