LIQUIDATION IS
MORE NOTICEABLE
Selling Movement Develops Con-
siderable Proportions Dur
ing Final Session.
FEAR TRADERS HAVE
0VERD0NE SPECULATION
Bank Statement Is Stronger
Than Expected in Showing
of Cash Gains.

NEW YORK, Nov. ga liquidation
movement in speculative accounts de-
veloped in the stock market today,
which attained considerable proper
tions during the course of the two
hours session. Particularly, damage
was done TO prices OF the transconti,
mental railroad stocks owing to the eX-
fcnsive advances which had occurred
previously in their prices. The action
of Great Northern preferred since the
announcement of the plan of partici-
patton in the ore contract rights and
the course of the quotation for the
lights when issued in the curb market
has had a bad effect on speculative
sentiment
The evidence that speculation has
been overdone in that case arouses un-
casincss over the outcome of other
speculative factors which have been
followed with confidence on very vague
information. The consideration of the
recent wide decline in Standard Oil III
the outside market had an important
effect on speculative sentiment, al
though that stock was supported today.
The bank statement was stronger
than was expected in the matter of
cash gained. the addition to reserve
reaching nearly three million dollars,
against estimates which did not exceed
"A million for the maximum, The S4,-
supposition that interior bankers were
lending freely here during the week
was not so well liked. The market raj
lied on the appearance of the statement
but the higher prices induced resump-
tion of the liquidation and caused the
severe break in prices from which
there was only slight recovery. The
closing was weak.

The week in the stock market started
out confidently under the influence Of
the good bank statement of last Sat
urday and the evidence of forces at
work for the further amelloration of
money. The course Of the money mar
ket subsequently unsettled this conf
dence to some extent and led to an ir-
regular and spotty stock market, A
number of comparatively obscure stocks
were sprung into prominence and rushed
upward in n sensational manner with
out any intelligIble explanation, and
this had the inevitable effect of arous-
ing suspicion of manipulation and the
purpose TO conceal operations at out
side points in the market.

ably had TO do with the building OF
more large tunnels than any other liv-
ing man. He designed the shields used
in the work The shield is the most
important feature of tunneling under
water and it takes an engineer really
TO appreciate what 1t means. Four
shields have been in use in the Hud-
son River work. two in each tube. one
working from the Jersey side and one
from the New York side in each case.
The shields are still IN perfect condi-
tion. and. owing 10 their peculiarly sat
isfactory character, this work has been
pushed forward with almost unprece-
dented rapidity.
The chief assistant engineer.
James Forgie, a Scotchman, designed
the hydraulic sliding platforms with
which the shields are equipped. It Is
on these platforms that the men stand
in making the excavation ahead of the
tube itself: the platforms slide out as
the work advances, and the excavated
material is dumped through the shield
upon tram cars, which carry it back
TO the shaft.
