LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The most of the business done at the
meeting today of the Stock Exchange was
transacted after the call. In some re-
spects it was important, which cannot
be said of that which occurred during
the call. The former was like that which
has been done for the past two or three
days. or since the check in the upward
course of prices In the general market
has been in evidence.
The reaction was still in force in New
York today. and the local market is not
entirely oblvious of what Is going Oh in
the wider market of Wall street.

NEW YORK. November 2l.-There was
no explicit explanation of the rather
sharp depression in American shares In
the London stock market. but the move
ment in prices in that department was
along the same lines followed by other
quarters in the London market. Previous
to the opening of business upon the New
York Stock Exchange the cabled dis
patches showed American stocks quoted
at declines below parity with New York s
final fiugres of yesterday, which in some
instances were in excess of one point.
Foreign houses were sellers in the local
market upon small scale. These cir
cumstances accounted chiefly for an
abrupt reversal in the tone of the market
from that which prevailed at the close
of business yesterday.
The initial transactions were at ma
tcrial receSsionS from yesterdays closing
prices and for the most part the losses
then recorded were extended with the
course of the business session. At the
same time the tone of the stock market
could be described as irregular rather
than actually weak.
a few stocks moved counter to the
general drift of prices, cases in point be-
ing Atchison, Southern railway, the Wa
bash issues and Wisconsin Central pre-
ferred
Rumors of Dividends.
RumorS relating to the forthcoming
dividends accompanied the dealings in
the last named stock.
The industrial and miscellaneous shares
moved In line with the railway list with
rather exceptional strength showing in
Western Union. The traction stocks were
dull.
There was little actual news over night.
but highly encouraging accounts of the
recovery in the trade of the country were
set forth in the returns of the mercantile
agencies. The temperance of Mr.
Thomas W. Lawson in the limelight ex
cited a mild degree of interest, particular
ly on account of the position he announc-
ed that he held toward the stock market
and further because of the suspicious
which have been entertained in Wall
street that the operator in question has
long been committed to the short side Of
the account.

The most important of the transactions
recorded after the call was the sale of

block of that size was offered at 1924
and when the bid OF 1924 was made
the offering was withdrawn. The bid rose
to the hat level, and the 100 shares were
sold at that price. The sale of several
twenty-share lots followed on a range
of from 1925 to 1925. The bid was then
