NEW YORK. November 5.-on account
of a greater feeling OF confidence regard
ing the outcome of election speculative
interests expected that todays stock mar
ket ought to be relatively strong and ac-
tive. AS 10 the monetary outlook there was
still considerable difference of opinion. but
not few large operators are relying upon
the opinion of some of the most prominent
International bankers who have expressed
the opinion privately that within a short
time the money market would present a
decidedly more favorable aspect than 1t did
at the moment. II this idea should be
substantiated by actual events Il was gen.
orally conceded that between now and the
close of the year the market would be de-
cidediy active and advance materially.

where they went in the interest of the ORR
ent road. Mr.. Stilwell says that while
abroad he sold large block OF the COM

OF the attitude of the Mexican government
toward the orient's project was demon
strated by the fact that a few weeks ago
the government paid to the railroad COM
pany 81 100000 in subsidy funds on seq
lions OF the lines accepted by it, and paid
the subsidy several days prior to the date
on which the coupons niatured. thereby CIV

Mr.. Stilwell is very enthusiastic with re-
spect to the outlook for the orient and
Is confident that he will experience no spe-
cfal difficulty In financing the proposition
and that the road will be completed prac-
ticaily as soon as II will be possible to
complete the construction work.
Those who are looking for an active
and higher market during the next few
weeks are apparently more enthusiastic
with respect to United States Steel common
than any other individual security on the
list. They believe that this stock. like most
of the active issues has been heavily solo
for the short account, and that weak bull
accounts. as in the other active issues,
have been closed out to a large extent.
Naturally, the contest for control of the
Illinois Central is being closely watched
by railroad men, as well as by financial,
interests. 1t Is intimated that II the Harri-
man forces elect their representative as
chief executive, the stock will have a very
big advance.
