WEEKLY STATEMENT

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The presi- dential election was unique in the history of the local financial markets iii the sense that it was neither pre- ceded nor followed by any pronounce ed change from long ...evaiTing ir- regular conditions.
 Railroad shares were unusually ac- tive and higher while industrials, shippings and numerous specialties re- corded further declines. These move ments, it was generally conceded, however, bore not the remotest rela- ton to the political situation.
 The one definite event of the week was the announcement made by the Southern Pacific directors of the con- pany's purpose to separate it's oil lands from the main system by means not yet determined but which plain ly foreshadow substantial beneficial interest to shareholders, This action contributed to the strength of other transportations, some of which are believed to possess valuable hidden assets Several of the western and

NEW YORK. Nov. 6.-DealingS in stocks today were unusually lively for week end session, bat the activity was wholly at the expense of quoted values, representative as well as less favored issues recording additional de chnes.
 Absence of any semblance of sup port enabled the shorts to press their advantage in the teel, equipment shipping. motors and oil divisions. eN- trem ereactions ranging from two to seven points.

 News of the day was not of a char acter to inspire confidence, British French and Italian rates of exchange were in further state of demorali- zation and domestic advices tended to confirm known conditions in the textile and allied trades with empha- sis on the pronounced increase of lEl- employment.
 Another deficit in actual reserves. comparatively light against the loss of fortnight ago was the noteworthy feature of the weekly clearing house statement. Other interesting items of that exhibit included a decrease of $54,255.000 in loans and discounts. a decrease of $25, 1000 in members reserves at the federal reserve bank
