WALL STREET LISTLESS
OPERATIONS ON TOO SMALL A
SCALE TO BE REPRESENTATIVE
Market Falls to Show a Continuation of
Fridays Movement to Cover Shorts and
Prices Drift AimIessIy-Bank Statement
More Favorable Than Predicted.

NEW YORK, Nov. 14.-Trading in to-
days stock market was listless and mar
row. Operations were on too small scale
to offer anything of a representative
character. There were a few points of
strength, including Chicago & Alton, on
revival of rumors of its possible absorp-
ton as connecting link in a larger SyS-
tenn. Southern Railway advanced in re-
Spouse to rather vague assertions that the
Seaboard Air Line was in a way to be
brought into the Southern community of
interest
The upward movement in Manhattan
continued on the score of the increase of
earning power through electric operation
as revealed by the last statement. One
or two minor stocks rose without ex-
PLANTATION. The market as a whole failed
to show a continuation of yesterdays
movement to cover shorts, and prices
drifted rather aimlessly. The bank state
ment proved decidedly more favorable
than the forecast had Indicated but new
ertheless its publication was followed by
a brisk selling movement which centered
upon Pennsylvania, costing that stock the
greater part of yesterdays gain; Reading
and Amalgamated Copper also lost more
than point and the whole list receded
to below last night
Better Than Prophesied.
The decline in the cash reserves of the
banks proved to be only $2,913, 200. Yes
terdays estimates indicated an outgo for
the week of 81, 000, 900 without allowance
for yesterdays arrival of foreign gold to
the amount of nearly $1,000, 600 The de-
post liabilities of the bank have been re-
post liabilities of the banks have been re-
duced by $14,629, 900, principally through
the loan contraction of $10,240,500. The
reserve requirement is thus diminished to
IS. 657, 400, leaving an increase in the sur
plus of STA 200. With the falling off of
the movement of currency to the interior
which has occurred and the supply of for
eign gold afioat for this port the money
market prospect seems to offer no occa-
likelihoo@-Df considerable further move

dull and heavy.
The recent notable absorption in the

have not yielded materially. United States

Minneapolis the face of unresponsive
cables and the same old run Of bearish
news from abroad. wheat took on
squirt December and May both selling to
the 7Sc level, May reaching 1921 47S15c in
the early trades. Big flour business was
the feature on the bull side. Heavy pur-
chases of wheat Friday "to arrive" were
thought to be significant of good flour
sales, even though it was reported that
considerable part of the wheat ito arrive
was sold to elevators. Millers We're free
to admit that there had been a gratifying
business in flour, that demand was still
good and that there was fair pro-
portion of foreign business in the total.
This was a poser for the bears and was
pretty good evidence that the wheat basis
is not too high to do business on. Re

ruled for cash wheat. with sales as per

COLT LOWERS RECORD.

In the presence of large num-
Der of people at the Pekin, ILL.,, race
track yesterday afternoon, Major
Martyr, the colt owned by Col. John
+. Stout, gave the finest exhibition
of speed ever known in the world
for an animal not quite two years
old.
Frank W. Erwin, who has the colt
in charge, started him at 2 o'clock.
He covered the quarter in :3O1s,
which is 2:02 gait. The fret eighth
was made in :16, 2:0S gait, and the
last eighth in :14A, 1855 gait.
John A. Johnson, of Lincoln,
owner of Martyr, the sire, and Geo.
F. Lachemeyer, of Mt. Pulaski, own
er of the dam, were among the in.
terested spectators. About FIVE per.
sons held watches on the colt, and
the time did not vary second. DIR.
Bozarth, also of Mt. Pulaski, was
there. Major Martyr made a quar-
ter in :311a some weeks ago, and
many doubted this- The trip of
yesterday afternoon, however,
shows that the colt even lowered
that time.
Mr.. Erwin, the trainer, as well as
Col. Stout. the owner. have every
reason to feel proud of the perform

MARBLE WORKS.

For nearly two decades Chero-
kee county people have seen the
above card in their home newspa-
pers, and during that time have be.
come acquainted with and fond OLD.
NJ. Jones, the proprietor. Whenever
anything in the stone line has been
wanted Mr.. Jones has been looked

that makes the hand tools cut out
carving and lettering without hall

really interesting thing is the big
complicated machine for polishing
stone surfaces, which adjusts itself
