Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 17-This morn
ing's stock market was again very firm
although the dealings had no features of
particular interest. Both the local and the
London stock market were favorably infu-
enced by the degree Of betterment in money
market conditions which has appeared in
both localities, and the foreign arbitrage
houses were quite heavy buyers in the
local market from the outset Of the trad
ing. 1t was mainly in connection with
these purchases that the sharp advances
were scored In Canadian Pacific and Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas
Discussion with regard to local money
market conditions converged chiefly on the
prospect that today's bank statement
would make what Wall street describes as
strong showing. For the first time since
last August the in-and-out movement of
currency turned this week In favor of New
York, and it appeared to be the common
impression that even If this weeks bank
statement did not reflect this change, next
weeks return would.
Very heavy profit taking was observed
with the course Of morning, and this gave
the days dealings somewhat irregular ap-
pearance.
The denial or the absence of any direct
CouHi udliOH Oh the part OF MI. James j.
Hill that any sensational developments were
pending in the affairs of TIE Northern Pa
cif1c or Great Northern railway companies
caused those stocks to fuctuate erratically.
Money Conditions Improve.
Amalgamated Copper was again very
strong and active on predictions of another
advance in the dividend rate on Anaconda
mining. The exceptionally heavy transac-
tons in Reading common were again at
tended by reports that the next dividend on
the stock would be at an advanced rate, and
that operations were under way looking to
the capitalization Of the company's coal
lands.
There was. as a matter of fact, very little
news today of either general or particular
Importance, and the slight improvement in
monetary conditions had to be again In
stanced as the chief factor in the specula-
ton
The weekly bank statement made even q
more favorable showing than had been COM
monty expected The increase in actual cash
amounted to gore than s., 100000. which
was much ir excess Of ali of the preami-
nary estimates. The loan account showed a
further decrease of 100000, and the de-
post account was curtailed by A,274O0O.
Reserves accordingly rose 50, SS5, COO and
last weeks deficit was wiped out and the
banks now hold So, 800, 900 in excess of the
lawful requirements. 49,
