which earnings show nothing available for dividends. The awakening from in activity of this class of stocks has a bad effect on speculative sentiment as a stir ring up of the dregs of the market with the exhaustion of possibilities in stocks of a more substantial class.
 Stocks which rose did so in succession and there was no uniform upward move ment at any time. The tendency of prices to sag while such influential stocks as those mentioned were advancing was proof of the strain to which the support of the market was being subjected The feeling of distrust gathered force and as- sisted in the general decline in the latter part of the day. St. Paul was affected by a report of an intended bond issue to be secured by it's Pacific coast lines now building and it was on the official de- nial of these reports that the stock rose to 150. Motive power for the movement in the Harrimans was supplied by reiteration of rumors of a financial plan, involving melon cutting" Northern Pacific was bought on the assumption that the reduction from the price tomor- row is $11.26 extra dividend would make the stock look cheap and would lead to recovery of the amount of the dividend.
 With the reactionary tendency of prices established there grew up discussion of the possibility of some setback in bus mess and industry from the fast pace that has been too rapid. The failure of copper to hold it's advanced price fur nishes a text for such discussion. The professional element has been watching for a reaction based on technical grounds for days and their rush to follow the movement helped materially to entend the reaction late today.
 Bonds were irregular Total sales. par value, $5,412,000.
 United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Hubbard Bros. 6 Co.'s Letter.

New York, November 1S.-Liverpool was about as due this morning and our mar ket opened around last nights prices. An other drive at the short interest in De- cember and January made the local trad CTS more bullish than ever, and the mar ket advanced sharply to the highest prices yet reached.
 The mass of southern selling orders which have been encountered around g cents was finally absorbed, which added to the general bullish feeling Rumors of a bullsh ginners' report were freely cir culated and further advance was con- fidently looked for here.
 Wall street and Chicago houses were again conspicuous buyers, easily absorb ing the offering and the trade expects that they vii continue to advance the market The south does not buy as yet, but it is felt that if the local bulls can hold the market through the next three or four weeks receipts will fall off ana speculation be easily attracted. The mar ket is certainly strong, but the buying remains unfortunately concentrated in the same quarter as before

COTTON MARKET
 IS MORE ACTIVE
Better Prices Are Quoted In
 The Foreign Markets
BULL SUPPORT IS STRONG
Realizing for Profit Causes Decline Early, But Market Becomes Firm On Covering by Shorts and
 Buying for Bulls.

New York November 1S.-There was an increasingly active business in the cotton market today and prices made new high records for the season, closing steady at net advance of to 8 points on all months except October. in which there is not yet much trading and which was net unchanged Sales for the day were estimated at 100000 bales.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 6 points in response to better cables than expected, and was soon sell ing at a net advance of to points with near months leading the advance on cov- ering and a demand from spot houses. Realizing was very heavy at the advance and prices sagged off few points during the middle of the norning, but quickly frmed up toward midday on renewal of covering and bull support. The advance was not checked until December had sold at 9.34c; January, 9.11c and May, s.04c. or about to IA points net higher. The market then eased under realizing and closed some to points off from the top. Expectations that the revision committee might take some action at the HeeIflR dIleI lne ClOse u Stiii ldt ~iiSi strengthen the contract, probably had considerable influence on the advance, in connection with reports of firmer interior markets and expectations of decreasing receipts, while there is beyond doubt con- siderable uneastness on the part of the shorts over the small local stock and the apparent strength of the concentrated long interest in December and January
 Commission houses were better supplied
 with buying orders than at any time since the reaction following the election, and it was thought that the buying inter ests had been withdrawn. Southern spot markets officially reported were un- changed to ls-cent higher.
 Receipts at the ports today 64.124 bales, against 72,S33 last week and 60,625 last year For the week 45O,OOO against 47S, 900 last week and 354, 457 last year.
 Today's receipts at New Orleans 2O.6S7 bales, against 16,711 last year and at Houston 12,950 bales against 7625 last year.

ADVANCE HALTED
 IN STOCK MARKET Reaction Is Not Severe But In
 Moderate Volume
RISE HAS BEEN TOO RAPID
Buying Orders From Outside Sources Have Stacked Up Considerably and Prices Decline Under
 General Selling.

New York, November 1S.-There was no new incident today which acted as de- termining factor on the movement of prices of stocks, although the operators in the board room and at stock quota ton ticlSers were alert, as usual, in -saging the world for signs of such news.
 In it's absence the market showed the waning influence of some of the older factors which have been active for some time past, notably since the election.
 There came into consideration again a Wall street aphorism, which says that .prices cannot move in one direction all the time." This truism is lost slght of in periods of speculative excitement and the fact of it's coming into view IS ln itself testimony to the subsistence Of excitement of the less reasoned kind, such as there was evidence of on the most active days of last week. The de- crease of activity in the market is evl- Hence in the same direction. Commis- sion houses report that the volume or orders from clients in scattered localities has fallen off in the last few days. Whether from the fact that the exist ing demand has been filled, or the dear ness of prices has lessened the attrac- tion of stocks or suspicion has been aroused of an element of manipulation in the market, which precludes possible reaction tie decrease in the buying of stocks is obvious. Some of the commis- sion houses make point of the exist Aence of buying orders on their books, con ditioned on a decline from the present prices.
 Last week the bulk of buying orders was 'at the market.'' It is such orders that enable the well-informed room trad CTS to cause volatile upshoots in prices, by bidding up quotations while the buy ing orders are being executed. The task of supporting the market grows more difficult when price limits are placed on the buying orders. The growing difficulty of the task was manifest today with the indifference shown to the striking ad- yances in a number of stocks that have been the most influential leaders of mar ket sentiment for months past.
 The rise in Southern Pacific to above l2o established a new record for that stock and Union Pacific, St. Paul and Northern Pacific sold at the highest prices of the present year. There were other strong points, scattered through the list of securities and embracing some of the lowest grade of stocks, on which divi- dends have never been. paid and for
