MARKET QUIET
AND RATHER NERVOUS

NEW YORK. November THE wan
street market was slow and appar-
emily more or le1 nervous tho meet
ing of the money committee yesterday
with no report Of action causing some
uneasiness, while the mixed character
Of the trading and the disposition of
spectators to take in very small
profits created an unsettled feeling.
Further indications Of a speedy end
ing Of the war were at hand, and the
stories indicative Of revolt and revo-
Iutions seemed to hurt the chances Of
war shares and at the same time to
affect the entire market unfavorably.
Reasons for the Slump.
The news Of the last few days has
been of the same general character.
but the slump was more OF less due
; to reported cancellations of war or
ders and to the free discussion of
possible cancellations in the immedi-
ate future.
Further delays in the negotiations
, for the sale of the Mercantile Marine
ships caused weakness in the pre-
ferred stock of the corporation.
Almost invariably the opening was
strong and the best prices Of the
morning were reached shortly after
the stroke of ten. This was followed
by weakness before the end Of the
first half hour, and reactions Of 1 to
points among the war induSriala
and 1 to points in other shares in
this group.
