THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Nov. 23.--Today's business at the Stock. Exchange was the small est for any day since the election. The total below million shares that has occurred for q full day in that period. This subsistence of the speculative fu- TOT awakens some regret in many ele- Exchange but in the larger financial circles of Wall Street there is an avowed satisfaction with the slowing aown Mss ot 2 speculative Paeel tcl which tt ts the march of indusJrial and confmer- cial progress of the country. This rear mas found open expression In the quarters. There is depreciation of any attempt at sudden and violent boom of business. There were warn- ings given also on unwarranted as- achieved in the recovery and of the wiping out of possible obstacles to be encountered. In particular there IS realization that the assembling of Con- gress and the State Legislatures may bring some force into action that will chill speculative enthusiasm. It ts supposed that this may follow from the too exuberant views that specuia- tors have professed of the extent to which ani-corporation sentiment in the country has been sppeased. The tak- ing up of the tarif schedules in the practical work of revision of rates of
 
 disturbing effect which the speculation has been inclined to Ignore for time. The stock market had clear intima- tions last week of the nature of the magazine article written by. Andrew Carnegie leaning to a tariff for reve- nue only and advocating the abolition of duties on steel. but the publication of elaborate extracts of the article was not without additional effect. There was quie volume. of selling orders in the market at the opening as the after effect of last weeks fall and those made the opening prices lower: At the lower level the professional traders were disposed to work for recovery on the ground that the fall had reached such extent as to invite 6 rebound.
 An important part of the selling was for foreign account and this was of such effect on the foreign exchange markets as to keep alive the discuss sion of possible gold exports. Rates Paris, the rise In sterling exchange there being met by strength there Discounts hardend also in London and Paris. while time money rates were ing and supplies offering showing some accumulation.
