The Markets.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings In All
The Leading Stocks.

New York Nov. 2S.-A number of fac
tors combined To cause acute weakness
of stocks today some positive ana some
merely massive. 'he most significant fact
i'm tho. DAVIS greatly expanded dealings,
however. was that United States steel,
Union Pacific and Reading held 70 the
fun the overwhelming prepondefancc OF
activity over the whole market combined
which nave characterized these stocks
for weeks on end. This fact offered con
vincing evidence that reversal Of position
by the small group of wealthy Spccula-
tors ana bankers who have practically
carried the whole OF recent mdFk"tS was
in progress
The fact which seems 10 have most in
flncnrc on this action by the leading
speculative forces Was the pcSSimiStic m
tcrveW sent from 81 Paul. yesterday
witt. Chairman james J. Hin of the
Great Northern Railway.
An effective ana timely supplement to
Mr.. IllI'S interview in forcing the de-
cline in prices. WAS the tone of adYlc"S
from the iron and steel trade. Mr. ifillS
specifications Of diminished requirements
OF his own system for material W"r+
taken as fairly typical of general conol-
lions. Reports that new contracts To-!
steel products are still falling behind
current shipments with consequent cur
tailmant Of operations did not point to
the expected revival Of demand from the
railroads.
The disappointing, action of LohiGh Val
Stock Exchange Was Il more passive IN
fluencc on the days weakness. but not
less effective on that account. This stock,
Of a par value Of $50 having become IA
miliar on the Philadelphia Stock EN-
change for quotations in dollars, became
subject to the New York rule of quota
ton Of percentage value. The closing
price of saturday in Philadelphia was 81,
was translated into New York terms of
1881. therefore, and the fluctuations were
accordingly doubled in range
In addition, it had been expected that
the capital invested in Lehigh Valley and
in Rock Island with Il supposed supple
mentarY speculative interest in Reading,
would SiGnaliZe the entrance Of the new
stock bl q bulish demonstration. In
steady there seemed to be efforts to take
advantage Of this expected demonstra-
ton to market stocks. Lchigh Valley it
self dropped TO H.. The suspicion that
the source Of selling was the source IF
the recent buying constituted the weak
ness OF. the market, which became acute
in the entire absence of demand. The
fall in Reading of !, ana Union Pacific
ana United states steel 80 were fairly
representative Of the whole market.
There were many losses reaching three
points and some over five. Last prices
were about the lowest
Bonds were easy. Total sales, par vail
uc $2o33,oNl United States bonds wcr1
