ed letter from the officials of the

the owner of the land desired for
the new station wants too much
for THE tract. The company also
declares that the present site Is
not sufficient to warrant the rail
way in building n new passenger
station upon It,
Mr.. Sthmelz has not given up
hope and he is going 10 urge the
Chesapeake and Ohio officials to

That Hampton should have :,
mere creditable depot Is u fact

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.-There was
an apparent activity in the buying of
stocks in the early part of the day
and commission houses reported
that orders came to them from
sources that had been quiescent for
several weeks. 1t was supposed there
were some ventures on margin, such
as has been precluded ever since
financial conditions first became
acute. 1t was also obvious that the
closing up of uncovered short cor
tracts played a part in the upward
movement of prices. Buying did
not follow up advances with any an
imation and the market sank into
almost stagnant condition after buy
ing had spent it's force. Conditions
IN Wall street are working out to the
satisfaction of banking and financial
authorities.
