Time TO Reform Their Lines.
London. Nov. 10.-The kaiser has
been compelled TO detach In. GO forces
from the armies in France md Bel
gium to help check the Russian IA
vasion of the east. The cz-r's sol
diers are going ahead at the rate OF
fourteen miles day.
The czar's troops have captureo
Pleschend. fifteen miles inside the
German frontier. East Prussia. Poseu
and Silesia have all been invaded.
The succession OF victories ha4neo
by Russia in East Prussia, west Pc
land and Galicia and the extraordinary
powerful and rapid sweep westward
OF the Grand Duke Nicholas mair
armies is the greatest achievement sc
far by Germany's antagonists.
Military critics pronounce It mir
acle OF warfare, comparable TO the
greatest operations OF modern times.
The Russian commander-in-chief has
amazed the world by the speed and
precision with which he has advanced
his masses over country practically
without railroads and destitute of n
high road worthy of the name.
Eighteen days ago the Russian
armies stood at the river Vistula from
Warsaw to Invangorad and were just
gathering momentum for pursuit OF
the unbeaten German armies.
In those eighteen days the grand
duke has driven them more than $50
miles, SO that advance guards occupy
strategical positions over the frontier
OF Posen and Silesia. This applies to
the operations of Russia's central
army, whose primary object is &c
seize Posen and Breslau. To the north
in East Prussia and to the south along
the upper Vistula toward Cracow the
advances have been less rapid but
equally irresistible.
1t appears from the official reports
OF the Russian general stan and from
the dispatches OF correspondents of
London newspapers that the German
troops, retreating i'm the north center
and south. had no time TO push at the
outer defenses OF the German frontier
and prepare to block the Russians
from counter invasion. The Thorn.
lllt Itlltu upon
to stop Russia short has been of nc
value.
The grand duke pursued so rapidly
that the Germans had no time to
pause at this line. turning move.

REVIEW OF THE
STOCK MARKET
Reactionary Trend in Dull.
Trading-Advance by
Rock Island Is.

The stock market yesterday, with un-
certainty regarding so many matters
of Importance TO traders, was the dull
est for some weeks The list of active
issues was narrow, business was re-
stricted 10 around 10000 shares ana
price fluctuations were small. Trading
was almost wholly professional Such
slight trend Of prices as appeared was
downward, and at the close the more
active issues. while irregularly changed
from the final figures Of the day be-
fore. were for the greater part a small
fraction lower Again the bond mar
ket did comparatively better days
business. with fairly steady prices.
While not authoritative enough to re-
fleet itself in the course Of the market
the most interesting piece OF news thae
came TO the financial district was the
report that It had been decided to ad-
iourn Congress early in July, whether
the Presidents programme Of anti
trust legislation had been passed or
not. Advices from Mexico continued TO
cause grave doubt as to the successful
avoidance OF hostilities, but no definite
alarming news came in trading hours.
Trade authorities reported some i'm
provement of sentiment in the iron ana
steel industry, but found actual condi-
lions little improved. Buying was said
TO continue al low rate, and mill and
furnace operations are lowered. A lit
tie increase in rail orders during the
week was noted.
London prices again came lower and
sales for foreign account in this mar
ket reached larger proportions. The
result was that the opening here
showed fractional declines general
throughout the active list. Around
midday, however, the level Of the mar
ket was slightly higher, but in the az
ternoon realizing pressure wiped out
the greater part of the Improvement.
Securities most favored in the trading
again made only small changes on the
day. Reading gained 4 of a point.
Steel lost u, Union Pacific lost Is and
Copper was unchanged.
Missouri Pacific declined ! point to
1917, on disappointment Of those who
had hoped for word of some decision on
its financing plans, but recovered the
greater part of this decline. closing 4
down at 2Oi2. Chesapeake & Ohio was
under some pressure and receded Ia
points TO 52h. Rock Island shares
were quiet and firm. The collateral
trust As were actively traded in. chang
ing hands as high as 1914, an advance
this week of over 4 points, and closing
at 34&. No definite announcement.
however has yet been made as to the
plans for rehabilitating the system or
of the information on which such plans
are being based.
Discount rates were firm in London
following the advance in price for the
new gold the day before. and demand
sterling here, with the additional slim
illus Of foreign selling OF American Sc
curities, was slightly higher, closing At
4S770. Call rates were advanced,
loans being made at from IL. TO per
cent, with renewals at the higher fig
ure Time money continued easy, at
unchanged rates. Since Friday On
Clearing House operations the banks
have lost 50, 124, 600.
