New York, Nov. 2o.-The general course
ing at least to speculative buyers OF
stocks for the rise. The market was
steadier and quieter than it was yester-
day. and such declines as took place were
with but few exceptions among the lead
ing stocks less than were witnessed yes
terday. On Tuesday. TO, there was more
than a suspicion that manipulative ef-
forts TO depress prices were being re-
sumed, while to-day evidences were plain
in moro than one quarter Of buying
back Of stocks previously sold. There
was no gainsaying the fact on she other
hand. that Liquidation in the market was
still going on. The decision OF the At
lsntic Coast Line directors yesterday to
defer the declaration Of their semi-annual
dividend until December was the osten-
sible reason for the break at one time of
~ points in the quotation Of the Louis
vile g. Nashville shares on sales, Of but
a limited quantity of stock.
New Low Records Made.
New low records were made for the
present movement in st. Paul common
shares. and several Of the Erie issues
and the American Smelling & Refining
New York Central, Sloss-Shefield, At
lantic Coast Line, and various other
stocks were also under unmistakable
pressure. In the bond list a large
quantity Of the Chicago. Rock Is
land & Pacific collateral trust per cent
bonds were marketed without, however.
causing a decline in the quotation in the
security. Definite support for the bonds
was unquastionably extended.
Renewed liquidation developed in the

road Company convertible per cent.
bonds issued during the present year,
and the cause commonly ascribed for
this was a selling for the account OF
subscribers for the bonds who did not
wish 10 pay further installments upon
their subscription price.
Currency Premium Advances.
There were also one or two other per-
turbing influences in the situation to-day.
The premium on currency advanced
sharply in the afternoon. as did the rate
for call money on the Stock Exchange,
and one explanation offered for these
NN'OiOL44ioANS was PtopIo were pLONlulHB
themselves with cash in order to sub
scribe to the new government issue of
Panama canal bonds and certificates OF
Indebtedness. 1t must be said that con-
siderable annoyance. If not exactly dis
quietude, was manifested in banking
parlors to-day. over the failure of the
Treasury Department to issue a formal
statement clearing up the antiquities
that have arisen regarding these pro-
posed securities and the relations that
will have 10 borne 70 them by the ma
tional banks that subscribe to the issue.

The RETIRED LITERARY MAN.
Noise as Related TO Literature--Ds

Some WRITER'S said the retired lit

In a sawmill, some can produce their
best results In boiler Factory: and,

tion when drawn upon in rushing.

but while some men thus could do
their best work in the midst OF what
| would commonly be considered as tho
noisicst 81 surroundings. nave never
yet known any men who could do
! good work in the socaled quiet vt
home; and the reason for this is very
simple.
You see, In the noisy places sucn
as have described the NOISES are uni
form and rhythmic and TO some men
they may even be tuneful and sooth-
ing There are many men, indeed,
including some not writer's, to whom
the droning hum Of the buzz saw is
music, as to them tine scent OF the
freshly sawed lumber might be q
fragrant and stimulating perfume.
ITO some men She continuous bang
ing In boiler factory may be the
very reverse Of disturbing II may
be, rather, stirring and invigorating;
and there are men who love the con-
slant roar of the railroad train. But
bear in mind that, AS | nave said all
these noises are uniform and rhyth-
mic, while the sounds Of home are
likely to be intermittent and desultory
and that so even sounds comparative
~ light may here, in an atmosphere
normally quiet. seem positively ex-
plosive.
And it Is those sounds of an expio-
sive character that are Iikeiy to prove
most disturbing: though there may be
other home sounds not so loud, that
will, nevertheless. almost as effectu-
ally disrupt train Of thought
why, | have known literary man
working in his study at home to be
quite thrown out of balance by the
sudden dropping Of o naUron on the
floor of the kitchen below; to be so
completely unbalanced, in fact, that
he couldn't do any more work tor half |
a day And the sudden or continued !
wailing Of an infant in the house |
might exercise an equally disquietiHg |
effect upon his nerves. and SO upon
his flow Of thought; as might. indeed, |
the boisterous play of elder children, |
with the oyersetting OF chairs and
bureaus and things of that sort; which |
last, however, ! suppose might more
be classed with The explosive
sounds, though their explosive effect |
Is likely to be merged somewhat with
