THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Nov. 17.--The character of today's stock market was. much the same as that of yesterday. The spotty much confusion of mind on the part of those who were attempting to discern the siEnihcance of the conflicting ac- ton of different stocks at the same ment was not consistent at any time during the day. The show of strength. which was considerable. was made up StocRs st oT xToups of ssoc Tess

A market of this kind sug- gests artificial support at some points to facilitate selling at other points. the nsr9 iius Of aesivitS aaSs from oSs yesterday although yesterdays transactions were smaller than on any day last week. News was not forthcoming for tne direction. The decreased animation of the speculation was attributed in general way to an excess of caution, which has reduced the rate of the in come yield on everything traded in. Tn some cases it Is obvious that the ad- vance has carried prices to level that would limit to a moderate rate of re- turn even increases in dividend rates to the maximum to be expected. The stocks selected for upward movements which have suffered from fears of div idend reductions in the past and which are now responding apparently To in- creaseo confidence In the maintenancs of present dividend rates; New York Central and Baltimore and Ohio are in this class. The Eastern railroads are still suffering heavier reductions in gross earnings from last years rate than are the Western grain and cot ton carriers. as shown by the october earnings of the Baltimore and Ohio published today. That statement also cutting down expenditures to meet the lessened earnings. Conference of traf- fc officials to discuss proposed freight advances also affected these stocks. elass today Was that of low priced railroads. especially those in the hands of receivers. This movement followed the sharp advance of the last few days in the much involved New York trans actinns and is apparently founded on similar hopes of advantage from early reorganization.

 Activity and strength marked trad- ing in tue wheat pit during the final hour of the session. following a Pe- riod of duilness and depression. At the same time prices advanced 5-s to 2c from the lowest point of the day. the greatest rise being from the May da- livery. The sharp upturn was que pri- marily to the re-instating 6y 2 ieaalnS day. This buying fed to active cover ing by shorts and demand soon became
 Several bullish features in the news gossip developed in the meantime to further stimulate demand, the chief one of these being a report Of well known foreign crop statistician, which claimed that further reduction of app proximately 22,00Os00O bushels would have to be made in the estimate of tlais years yield of wheat in Argentina.
 Another important factor was a re- vival in export demand, New York re- porting that sixty boat loads haa s,ds;sr Sfsn 2, prices on December were 1.0s 7-s0 i.04 and on May LOS 7-S. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 742 cars. against eeS last week and t0V year @8O. ..
 Corn was weak during the early part of the day, owing to miscellaneous sell. ing brought out by liberal receipts. but became firm late in the day as a re- suit of the advance in wheat.
 Trade during the first half of the session was rather quiet, but became fairly brisk in the final hour. Cash grain at the sample tables was steady to 1-4c lower. The market closed firm at an advance of 1-4c compared with the previous close. Final quotations fin December were at 62 7-sc., and on May at 62 3-4c. Local receipts 272 cars i've contract grade.
 Trade in oats was comparatively dull and sentiment early in the session was bearish. During the last part of the day a much better demand developed, which caused an advance of more than half cent from the tow point of the day. Cash houses reported that offerings from the country were much smaller. despite good weather for the move ment
 The market closed firm. with prices up 3-8c to 5-S@3-4 with December at 49 3-s@1-2c and May at S1 1-4@3-Sc. Local receipts 296 cars.
 Provisions were weak at the start. because of continued liberal receipts of live hogs. but became stronger late in the session owing to the upturn in grain. At the close prices were 10 to l5c higher.
