Stocks Make Heavy Advance.

NEW YORK, Nov. l2-The stock
market today was strong and active
with many new features developing
themselves on the bull side. NotWith-
standing the immense pront-Iaklhg
which went on prices averaged higher
or showed only trifing net losses. The
decrease in surplus reserve reported by
the banks was offset in the eyes OF
most observers by the gratifying fact
of the large reduction in loans. The
publication of the statement mad no in
fiuence upon prices. Recessions which
took place in final dealings were no
larger than might have followed a
natural reaction from excited operations
OF the tirst hour. There were no special
news developments through the day, but
the impression remains strong in tinan-
ciaI circles that negotiations are under
way promising an early settlement Of
the war in the Far East.
In the railroad list the most sensa-
tional feature was the rise Of over 3 per
cent IN Illinois Central. in which deal
ings were larger than in a long time.
