new YORK STOCKS AND BONDS
Heavy Decline in Values Due to Weak
Speculative Position.
UPWARD REACTION AT THE CLOSE
Attention f. Turned Toward Revision
II Tariff and other News Factors
that Were Ignored During
the Rise.

NEW YORK. Nov. 0-The reactlonary
forces, which have been gathering strength
In the stock market for several days caused
a sharp fan In prices today. The declines
gained such Roadway as to lead TO a
strong upward reaction in the latter part
of the day on the assumption that weak
accounts had been cleared away.
There was no change In the favorable ma
ture of the news from all points Of the
progress Of industry and business towards
restoration. Yet prices crumbled In help
after the invariable manner Of incursions
upon a weak, speculative position. The fact
that the floating market supply Of stocks
has been passing from stronger to weaker
hands for over two weeks past, has been
subject OF general observation. The bear
party In the speculation which has been
quiescent for weeks, plucked UP courage,
in view of the manifest deterioration In the
position Of the market and pushed its ag-
inc orders to support them. After rallying
power, as the market had seemed to come
from the demand from this element TO
cover shorts and take their profits. Some.
thing was owing also to the existence of
conditional buying orders, placed at prices
below the recent high level and waiting for
opportunity to come In at greater advan-
tage.
While there was no u~nfavorable news
which could serve az an active factor in
precipitating the selling, the fact of the
reaction In stocks directed attention 70
some circumstances, which were Ignored
during the advance. For instance, there
NNo aRRlNAA0ASAbi v zap -
fects OF the movement to revise the tariff.
Advices of political development were re-
garded as indicating more drastic action
In this direction, than has been supposed
likely. Differences among tariff benefici-
aries themselves over rates of duties were
dwelt on and the report that Andrew Car
negie would advocate an abolition OF du'
ties on steel received considerable consider
alton. The great attention excited by the
cross-examination of John d. Rockefeller
In government suit for dissolution of the
Standard Oil company was considered
ominous of the force Of the anti-corpora
ton feeling and there were rumors also
of another important judicial decision
pending, affecting another Industrial com
bination. Some uneasiness was expressed
over the bad conditions reported for the
winter wheat crop lately seeded.
Time money was called soft in tone and
the known movements OF money promised
a substantial cash gain for the banks or
the week. Foreign exchange made a sharI
advance and the foreign political situation
continued unsettled. The strong tone al
the close was caused by the retreat of the
shorts, who feared that they had been lee
into a trap by the bull element helping tn,
appearance Of weakness in the market.
Bonds were easy. Total sales, par value
$4,444,000. United States bonds were un
changed on call.

CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS
Features of the Trading and Closing
Prices on board of Trade.

CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-Active covering by
shorts caused a strong tone in the local
lions showing net gains of hWhc. Corn,
oats and provisions also were firm.
Nervousness characterized trading in the
wheat pit and prices fluctuated over a
range of l cent. The prevailing tendency
was toward higher prices. Liberal realiz-
ing sales by longs caused several set-backs,
ing by shorts, which resulted in a fresh
rally. Argentine advices and the continued
dry weather in this country were the prin-
cipal strengthening influences. One ATgen-
tine. report claimed that not more than
SO.0OO,0W bushels of wheat will be available
for export from this years crop, while
another dispatch stated that frost had been
reported in some localities. The bears
derived some satisfaction from still another
report which estimated the expoTtsble sur
plus OF wheat from Argentina at 149,0O0,0 900
bushels. Heavy receipts, both in the north
west and southwest, also tended to inspire
some selling throughout the day. Demand
for cash wheat I'm the local market was
dull and prices were steady. Duluth re-
ported export sales aggregating $4,000
bushels. mostly Of Durum and low grade
Manitoba wheat. The market closed strong,
at n.&% and May at siI.0s%' c-iearanees Of
wheat ana flour were equal to 10000 BUSH
els. Exports for the week, as shown by
Bradstreet's, were equal to 5,599,S0O BUSH
els.
The corn market was bullishly influenced
by the comparatively small receipts, ar

CATTLE-There was a moderate run OF
cattle today, but still a fair showing for a
Friday. For the week the receipts SHOW a
gain Of over 1000 head as compared with
last week, and over 5000 head as compared
with a year ago
Among the receipts today were very few
beef steers of any kind. There was a fair
demand for this late in the week and any
thing at all desirable sold quite readily at
about steady prices. There were some
corn-feds which sold at 1915 and a Few
pretty good rangers at $5,4O.
The COW market was a dead one. Prices
were generally 10c lower than yesterday
and outside of the very best grades the
trade was very slow and duh, even at the
decline 1t is safe to quote anything OF
that description as fully 25c lower than
Good feeders were still in demand and

SHEEP-Receipts OF sheep were very lib
eral this morning, eighteen or more cars
being reported in. However, fifteen cars
were feeding lambs bought before arrival
at this point and only brought in to be
dipped. Three cars were consigned direct
to packers and not offered for sale. Thus
with liberal receipts II happened that there
were only a few odds and ends on sale
and none of them good enough to attract
any attention from packers. Possibly 1t
was just as we'll that such was the case'
showing a heavy gain over the previous
week and being more than double the rig
ures for a year ago. Packers nave bought
freely all the week of everything that
would do to kill and yesterday they seemed
to be pretty we'll filled UP, 80 that as
noted at the time there was an under
current of weakness to the market. Thus
there was no very urgent demand today
and, as noted above, It was, perhaps, just
as we'll that there was very little stuff on
sale.
For the week the market has been in
very satisfactory condition. Good fat sheep
and lambs have been in good demand
throughout the week and arrivals of such
have generally sold very freely at steady
prices. Quotations at the present time are
just about where they were one week ago.
Feeders have also been good sellers and
prevailing prices throughout the week have
been strong so far as the desirable kinds
were concerned. Inferior kinds Of both KILL
ers and feeders have shown a little weak
ness toward the last of the week, but still
the change has not been very great.

slow, but that is the case pretty much

a little lower than the close OF last week,
