STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York Nov. 18.-Prices ruled above
last nights level throughout the days ses-
sion of the Stock Exchange, but there
were numerous minor fluctuations until
the tendency of the market was clnched
by a strong and comprehensive upward
movement in the final dealings. which
carried prices to the highest level of the
day, where they closed. Net gains of from
to points are the general result. The
market showed hesitation from time to
time. chiefly on account of the recurrent
pressure on United States Steel preferred.
This stock was carried down 20 50H soon
after the opening and reacted to that point
or near it several times during the day.
each time with disturbing effect upon the
market Circumstantial reports of de-
termination already formed to cut the
price of steel rails had the principal effect
upon the stock. The report OF a cut In
black steel sheets was also IN influence.
The resistance offered by the stock as it
approached fifty was attributed to buying
for account of the preferred stock con-
version syndicate. The stock finally SYM
1athized with the strength OF the gen.
eral market and rose more than point
over last night, thus freeing the market
from its restraining influence and facliI
tating the closing advance. The stirring
of pool operations in a number of minor
railroad stocks was a continuing feature
some of those which rose yesterday being
still affected while others of the same
class were added today.
Money could be had today for short
periods down to sixty days for 51s pei

NEW YORK COTTON.
New York, Nov 1S-The cotton market
opened firm at unchanged prices TO an
advance of points chiefly as result
OF very bad weather reported from the
western belt. where in some sections tenn
pcraturcs were reported to be within about
ten degrees of zero with the chances ia
voring their spreading to the entire coun-
try. This showing had advanced and al
the hour of the local opening about as
expected. Private cables, however re-
ported that Mr.. Ellison had reduced his
estimate OF worlds requirements to about
10, $50 900 bales and this took some of the
edge off bullsh enthusiasm as did also
the indifferent showing of New Orleans
and the continued large movement. After
advancing another point or so the market
influenced by these factors was depressed

active months when it again rallied
as tha estimated receipts for tomorrow
were rather under expectations, though
still well over last years figures This
was accompanied By predictions OF
falling OF in the movement. and for
time it looked as though the market were
going TO reach new high level.
The bulls were more aggressive, the
room which had gone short early cover
cd and buying orders were received from
out of town. Before the advance was
checked prices showed a net gain of 10
10 Is points Then came a period of ir
regularity. but generally lessened ste-
bilty and just before the close the mark
ct was broken badly by rumors that the
big bulls were unloading, which was ac-
companied by selling that seemed to origi-
nate with these sources. This attracted
heavy selling from practically all direc-
lions and prices at the close were about
