CLOSING STOCK LETTER

By Private Wire to A. j.. Mas.cn & 60.
NEW YORK. Nov. lI--Therc was
good deal of hesitancy manifest in the
market to-day. but there WAS no real
weakness shown, although Southern
Pacific broke on the news that suit
Involving the mineral rights OF 5000
acres OF more or less valuable land had
been decided against it. There was
recovery after the break. however. that
showed that an effort had been made to
scalp for a few points on the news.
Aside from this, 1t was rather nu-
eventful market The public is going
slow for the time being and showing
Judgment by so doing. There IS enough
underlying strength TO discourage snort
selling and any Improvement in the
banking situation would result in 3
prompt advance
