NEW YORK, Nov. 17.--The renewed
speculation was actively continued today
under the influence Of the Frightening
prospects of the money market.
The principal dealings spread to some
new quarters and it was apparent that
some, distribution was being effected of
the stocks which have figured most
prominently in the previous sharp ad-
vances. Union Pacific, was the conspic-
uous new favorite and the demand was
stimulated by glowing rumors of the
forthcoming annual report. Meanwhile
st. Paul, the Hill stocks, Reading, ANAL
gamated Copper and Southern Pacific
were set back by selling to realize.
A large movement of gold into the
Bank of England, some of it American
was a feature of the days news and re-
garded with satisfaction here.
Sterling exchange in this market, how
ever, continued to rise with the easing
of the money market. Light was thrown
on the strength of New York's position in
the commercial exchanges to meet the
large volume of loans which New York
owes abroad by the October foreign trade
statement.
The increase in agricultural exports
over last year is expanded by the growth
in manufactured exports to nearly $685.
100000. The value of imports also has
declined for the first time in many
months. The effect is an increase in the
excess value of exports for the month of
the net gold import for the month was
only slightly over $200O0,000.
The mixed character of the trading
continued up to the closing and made it
irregular.
