New York, Nov. 1S.-Thore was n,
incident today which acted as 1t lie
termining factor cn the movement o
prices of stocks. although the operat
ors in the board room and at stoel
quotation tickers were alert as usua
in ranging the world for signs of sucl
news. In its absence the market
showed the waning Influence of some
of the older factors which have beer
active for some time past, notably
since election. There came into con
sideration again a Wall street aphor-
ism which says that prices cannot
move in M direction all the time
This truism is lost sight Of in periods
of speculative excitement and the fact
Of its coming into view is in itself
testimony to the subsistence of excite
ment of the less reasonable kind such
as there was on the most active DAYS
of last week. The decrease of activity
in the market is evidence in the same
direction. Commission houses report
that the volume of orders from clients
in scattered localities has fallen off
in the last few days. Whether from
the fact that existing demand has been
filled or the dearness Of prices, has
lessened the attraction Of stocks or
suspicion has been aroused eff an ele-
ment Of manipulation in the market
which precludes a pGss.afe reaction,
the decrease in the buying of stocks is
obvious. The rise in Southern Pacific
to above 40 established a now record
for that stock and Union Pacific. st.

of this class of stocks has had a bad
effect ON speculative sentiment as stir

with the exception of possibilities in
stocks of a more substantial class.
stocks which rose did SO in succession
and there was 10 uniform upward
movement at any time. The tendency
of prices to sag while such influential
stocks as those mentioned were adj
Nancing was proof of the strain to
which the support Of the market was
being subjected. The feeling of dis
trust gathered force and caused Il gen
eral decline in the latter part of the
