WALL STREET NOTES.

NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-Easing money
markets have facilitated speculative
revival this week, and deals and
rumors of deals have been melting in
%fuences. Last weeks addition to New
York surplus bank reserves and the
striking re~cuperation of foreign banks
have tranquilized sentiment on the
money outlook. The rumored copper
consolidation, the absorption of the
Western Union by the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company and the
distribution of the Wells-Fargo surplus
have stimulated speculative imagina-
ton. Announcement of several new
bond issues mark the progress of
financial plans. Trade n industrial
advices continue favorable.
Uptown Observation-Disclosures as a
reasonably good bank statement is
looked for today. and as some specula-
tive interests believe that the money
market will become materially easier,
higher prices are predicted for today's
brief stock market session. 1t is as
sumed that the greatest activity will be
in h comparatively few stocks about
which there have been numerous favor
able rumors recently. 1t was suggested
this morning that this list would in
clude Amalgamated Copper, American
Smelling, Consolidated Gas and pos
sibly United States Steel. 1t is nov
claimed in some circles that the Con-
solidated Gas directors are likely to
make large extra distribution in some
form to their shareholders in the neal
future and that knowledge of this fact
by a few inside interests and the large
earnings which 1t is claimed are being
made account for the recent activity
and sharp advance in the stock. Ar
active Wall Street interest said this
morning that undoubtedly within the
next ninety days the stock marke,
would be more Influenced by deals anG
rumors Of deals and extra dividends
than by any other single factor.

. NEW YORK, Nov. 20.-The cotton
