Odd Lot Dealings on a Broader
Scale-Currency and Other
Factors Apparent.

Transactions in many stocks long before
trading in them was recorded elsewhere
in Wall Street and the making OF mar
ket for some issues which failed to sell
on the New York Stock Exchange at all

dated Stock Exchange The trading on
the $3.50 clock opening call, while mainly
in odd lot accounts, was on quite broad
scale twenty-five different stocks chang
Ing hands before 10 o'clock, when the rest
OF Wall Street started business. Brooklyn
Rapid Transit sold on the call at s6S4, st.
Paul at 96ls, Great Northern preferred at
l23A and Rock Island at i3a, but II was
not until after II o'clock that they opened
on the New York Stock Exchange. Smelt-
ing, which was dealt In on the call at
6l1s and afterward at 6l, did not sell on
at noon, when a single l00-share lot
changed hands at 6lis. New York Cen
tral sold on the Consolidated call at 95ss.
and after the call at So. while Chesapeake
~ ONO changed hands on the call at J6l2
and American Beet Sugar on the call at
22A. representing the only market for
those stocks in the financial district dur
ing the day. Prices reflected a heavy
tone from the opening OF business, and
after the call lost some additional ground.

Chicago, Nov. 29.-Clearing weather IN

In provisions the outcome varied from ''2c
IN 1oc decline to &c advance. Although
there was prospect that wheat deliveries
here Monday will be light, many small
holders appeared anxious to unload. De-
spite huge shipments from Lake Superior
the stocks at Western terminal ports were
said to be of unusual bulk for a time 80
near the close Of navigation. In this con-
nection a good deal OF interest was taken
IN the fact that one of the largest grain

electrically driven pump of large capacity
that will readily handle the heavy flow
of water that was encountered on the
500-foot level. and which at times has
reached a volume of 10000 gallons in
twenty-four hours. The present showing
OF ore in the workings on the 5O0-foot

sufficiently good to warrant the expense
Of equipping the property for thorough
