dred MiIIiOn-sOme Diversion
e. Toward Minor In
dustrials.

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-The quiet condi-
tion in the speculation which financial au-
thorities have been advising for several
weeks past, was in evidence today. It was
supposed to be due In part to delay in re-
turn from election day holiday visible on
the part Of the brokerage fraternity. There
was sufficient uncertainty acknowledged
In the money outlook to account for the
hating tendency in the markets activity.
The call money rate did not rise again to
the 8 per cent rate touched late on Mon
day, but the figures of the clearing house
the special demand on the banks. The set
Elements effected between the clearing
house banks for that day amounted to the
prodigious total of S736, 461, $40. The nearest
approach ever made to those figures was
on January 3, 1905, when exchanges at
the clearing house were reported at $685.
SS4, 500. Call money In that week went to
60 per cent at the Stock exchange and the
daily sales Of stocks averaged nearly
1900, 900 shares
In the present instance stock market
operations were quiet and the banks do
not report any extraordinary transactions
to swell the figures OF the exchanges, be-
yond the demands incident to the Novem-
Der l payments, and possibly, some antic-
ipatory business prompted by the election
day holiday to follow. During october
clearing house exchanges ran high through
out the country, in many instances consti-
tutlng actual records at important points.
This Is but one of the evidences of the
expanding trade activity Of the country
and the consequent demand for money.
Abroad, there was an easing Of the private
discount rate IT LONDON To-Day winch mad
some effect on foreign exchange rates here;
but in Paris the private discount rate stiff
fened and the exchange rate on London
ran off.
There was some diversion of speculative
interest to minor industrial stocks today.
This was fOstered to some extent by the
slight response hitherto made by the steel
industrials to the disproportionate ad-
vance in United States Steel. The large
orders for new equipment now being placed
by the railroads also helped the stocks
Of companies in those industries. The cop
per stocks were helped by the reports Of
larNe sales of copper recently made. The
local metal market was called firm today,
but in Londo the price Of copper war
rants declined. Pennsylvania showed fur
Their unfsvorable effect from the decision
to issue its new stock to stockholders at
as low a figure as par. The subscription
rights for the new stocks were quoted in
the outside market at a figure which Of
fered q profit in buying the rights against
sales of the stock on the Stock exchange.
The strength in spots was emphasized with
the progress of the day, but did not per-
meate the whole list at any time.
Bonds were heavy. Total sales, par value,
81, 2S4, 600. United States rs and the 3s,
coupon, declined "a per cent on call.
Following were the sales and range of
prices on the Stock exchange today:

being reported in, making the total for
the three days this week 20, 400 head, q
fallina off of almost $500 head as COM
pared with the same days last week, but
more than double the receipts for the
corresponding period of last year.
The feeling on beef steers was good
this morning and desirable killers moved
off quite freely at steady to a little
stronger prices than yesterday. The most
of the cattle coming under that head sold
in very good season in the morning,
The market ON cows and heifers did not
show much change as compared with yes
terday. AS a rule statesmen were quoting
the market as about steady on that class

The supply of feeders, both yesterday and
today, was small, while the demand was
quite good, with the result that-the de-
sirable kinds were generally a little
stronger today, intact in some cases pos

Wheat continues weak and prices are
lower again. Bears are more aggressive,
while the buying power is weakening
gradually. owing TO the reduction IN the
cash premiums and the limited milling de-
mand. Heavy receipts has a depressing
cttect, causing traders to favor the snort
side.
Reports are bearnsh on the new corn
crop and large houses have put out short
lines. Prices will likely seek lower levels
Wheat was weak from the start and
heavy selling owing to the lower nofth-
west markets started wholesale dumping
OF long stuff, breaking values over &c ne
fore the market closed.
Cash wheat was very slow and buyers
almost refused to take any OF the wheat
offered.
Corn was soft and sold lower with the
weak wheat market. Receipts are a triflc
better and all news from the husktng re-
turns is bearish. making the new crop tu-
lures look high and spectators are going
