STOCK MARKET REVIEW.
Prices Lifted Quietly and rerslstenllS
 Throughout thp ba.

New York, Nov. 2.--1'he tone of the stock market to-day was reflective of the determination to meet the situation after the election from the greatest possible vantage point Prices were quietly and consistently lifted during the sessions some of the leading stocks selling at the high level for the yea, and the average level of the active list coming to the election period not far below that. Union Pacific rose above t74 compared with 1T37s on Friday
 when the extraordinary net earnings for September were made public. The clearing up of speculative accounts on the part of operators timid aoout car rying them over the election which was in evidence on Friday and Satur. day seemed to be completed and the way was opened to an easy advance in prices. Some of the selling late last week apparently was on the short side in pursuit of the prevailing tendency of the market. These uncovered ac- counts, in turn, were closed up to-day and helped on the rise In prices. The Onion Pacific september earnings was made the nominal reason for the re-. coVery in that stock to the highest price of the year, There was discus sion, however, of the effect of this fa- vorable showing on the plans of the railroads % effect an advance in freight rates alter the election, There was perceptibie in the weekly inter views with railroad traffic officials a stress laid on the importance of higher freight rates to insure the emergenct of the railroads from their depression which was believed to be prompted by the public impression produced by the favorable net earnings reported by the two Hartman Pacific railroads, Further reports of railroad earnings fo September showed gains in gross earnings by the western grain carriers In consonance With the Hartman showing The heavy and early grain movement was given credit for thia showing, The case of the great east ern trunk lines was different The Pennsylyanias and the New York Cen tral statements for September were
