 Another interesting feature of the com plicated Republican affairs in Alabama is a call for State convention issued by the famous "Rilp' Stevens of Anniston. who has organized, 1t seems. little parry of his own.

DEMERE & HAMMoND's
Daily Stock Letter From New
York.

New York. Nov. 30.-Renewed ag-
gressive strength was the characters
tic of to-day's market. There was
considerable irregularity and some hes
itation in specific instances in the early
dealings, but one after another quar-
ter of the market developed until in
the afternoon a strong broad market
was well under way with many new
high records established on this cam
paign. Stocks continue to be absorb
ed by strong interest and the commits
sion house public also contributed
some shares to the late buoyancy. Per-
haps the most encouraging feature to
general buying was the increasing de-
mand at rising prices for the high class
investment shares. ST. Paul was ac-
tive at an advance of 21a points,
Northwestern common rose g. the pre-
ferred per cent, and New York Cen
trail, after a little hesitation, resumed
a substantial advance. Pennsylvania
and Baltimore and Ohio gained about
point with Reading about double that
gain. The stocks of the Southern and
Southwestern group had good advances
and were in big demand. The feature
in the industrial list was the resistive
power shown to the effect of relaxation
in steel common. which after selling
above yesterdays close ended, was
only a fractional lost. We expect a
higher market tomorrow. Total sales
to-day, 1,471, 900.

ket continued irregularly strong to-
day on a somewhat diminished volume
of business. The tendency toward
reaction was greatest during the
morning when the pressure to take
profits was counterbalenced by only a
few strong points in the market. But
late in the day the inroads made on
the price level were largely repaired
and new points in the list were push
ed upwards.
1t was evident that the large and
powerful speculative parties, which
have been leading the trading were
still active in the market and were
diligent in conducting the leadership
from one stock or group of stocks to
another. During the early operations
Reading was about the only effective
sustaining point and its sympathetic
effect was narrow even in the group
of coalers.
Coal Trade Good.
There were f1attering reports of
conditions in the coal trade, but more
attention was paid to rumors of the
acquisition of control of the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company in the
interest of the Reading. With the
shift in the speculation to the Western
and Pacific Railroad stocks the mar
ket broadened and the strength be-
came more general.
The wide advance in Northern Secu-
rites on the curb preceded the move
