STOCK MARKET
GROWS DULLEK

NEW YORK. Nov. 23.-Many
brokers were absent from the
floor of the stock exchange today,
having departed to anticipate the
Thanksgiving day holiday. AS
there was no intention on the part
of most of them to return before
Monday of next week, the recent
tendency toward dullness in the
dealings in stocks became more
pronounced.
The Mexican disorders received
much attention. The most pro-
nounced effect of the news was
seen in the early decline in the
price of American Smelling,
Mexican properties. The United
States of Mexico 4 per cent bonds
sold down to 92k, although pre-
vious TO this week they had not
sold lower than 94A. The Ma
tional Railways of Mexico securi-
ties were slightly depressed, but
the market for them was almost
nominal as it was for the gov
ernment bonds.
Money conditions showed little
change. The market for mercan-
tile paper was reported to show
more disposition TO take on choice
grades.
In spite of the easing tendency
of the private discount rate In
London today, it was reported
that bankers nnance DlllS were
placed abroad in the process of
borrowing for New York account.
The foreign exchange market
