MANCHESTER. England, November
lI-Business on the cloth market was
rather large during the past week, but
owing to the anxiety of manufacturers
to secure orders prices were irregular.
China took shirtings. drills and cloths on
fair scale and India secured good lines
of shirtings, while South America sent
better orders for miscellaneous cloths.
Business on an important scale. how
ever was checked by bearish crop re-
ports and the large opening figures, which
induced buyers to wait in the hope Of
getting lower prices.
Yarns experienced a better inquiry and
the prices on Egyptian and American
crops were steady. The lower grades
attracted most attention.

NEW YORK, November 14-The slow
ing down of the speculative pace In the
stock market today from that OF yester-
day was due in part. no doubt, to the Gus
tumary practices of evening up all imam
c.ial transactions with the close or a week.
The disposition to do this Is the more pro-
nounced in the case OF commitments oe-
pendent on so delicate balance as tIa'
on which stock prices hang, especiah!
after so animated a speculation ana so
pronounced rise In prices as has oc-
Cured this week.
The Sunday closed interval. with its
possibility of sudden events which might
prove shock to the market fabric, makes
the practiced operator in stocks dread
leaving open vulnerable position.
There was a garnering of profits &C
crued by those prompted by this sentl-
ment. There was marked decline, also,
from yesterdays furious activity. One
or two items in the days news Increased
the tendency to pause. one was the
statement attributed to President corey
of the United States Steel Corporatioh
placing the present working of Its mills
at 60 per cent of capacity and putting Tor.
ward the probable date for restoration OF
normal and healthful conditions OF ousi-
ness to the middle of next summer
The reaction of United States Steel was
of strong sympathetic effect on the whole
market. 1t was scarcely counteracted by
the vigorous upward movement In some
other stocks on the list.
Local fractions Supported Markets.
The New York fractions were among
these. not only the stocks, but the bonds
of that group rising buoyantly. Prospects
for reorganization were ascribed as the
motive for the movement. The strength
of this group and of some others led
good rally in the second hour but prices
weakened again sharply at the close
The bank statement disclosed a larger
gain in cash than had been expected and
the active week in financial and specula-
tive markets was reflected in the loan
expansion. which was stated at S.. zoos. $40
in the clearing house averages, but ill.,
$4,000 in the actual condition. with a
supplementary increase of 1882, 800 by
the other banks and trust companies. The
decrease in circulation of $2.27O.SOO. re-
ported by the clearing house banks. marks
the retirement of notes issued against the
one-year United States Treasury certffi-
Gates, which mature November 20.
Bonds were strong. Total sales, par
value. 81. 100000.
United States So advanced one-quarter

In the full assurance that no harm will
come to them from the impending tariff
revision. holders of stocks in the many in
dustrials listed on the exchange are feel
ing very happy these days. This state of
mind is reflected in the quotations. Most
of the industrials are now relatively
stronger than railroad stocks on the aver
age.

The banking contingent in the Wall
street district is rolling it's eyes in pious
approval of the verdict in the case of
Charles w. Morse. who gets fifteen years
for doing what half the bankers in the
street are doing every day Of their lives.
Mr.. Morse was picked out for a goat
when he first invaded the sacred area Of
which the stock exchange is the center.
His methods were not liked. He was not
culpable in banking sense, and neither
were his associates, F. Augustus Heinze
and E. r. Thomas. both of whom are I'M
der Indictment. Mr.. Heinze's trial is to
come up in short time. Mr.. Thomas Is
seriously sick and may not recover. He
was badly bruised up In an automobile
accident some weeks ago and is sup
posed to be in bad way.

There are signs of a renewal Of the ac-
tive campaign for a general rise in freight
rates. The various traffic associations of
the railroads east and west have been
hard at work for months on reconstructed
schedules and these are understood to be
now nearing completion. There is not
likely to be a uniform advance attempted
of 5 per cent or 10 per cent. but the aver
If the program resolved upon is put
through. Opposition to the general ad-
vance is being offered on the ground that
with a recovery Of business to normal
railroad earnings will so increase that an
advance will not be necessary. This ar
gument is met by the plea that rates must
be moved up in any event In order to pro-
vide a basis for borrowing the thousands
of millions of dollars which must be put
into railroad plant within the next five
years. according to the dictum of such
authorities as James ]. Hill. E. H. Harri-
man. Mr. Ripley and others. Without
very largely increased earnings, the gen.
erals Of railroad management and high
finance say, it will be impossible to raise
the money that will be imperatively de-
manded to make the improvements and
betterments outlined. In other words. If
