EASTERN MARKETS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
NEW YORK, Nov. IS.— There were weak
points In the stock market to-day, but the
underlying elements of strength promised at
one time to overcome obstacles, and prices uni
formly went to a higher level. Apprehension
of a weak showing in to-morrow's bank state
ment turned the tide toward the side of reac
tion in the late dealings. The level of prices
■was In moat cases carried sharply below last
night, and net gains remaining were very much
reduced from the extreme advances of the day.
The most influential factor In causing weak
ness was theobvious liquidation going on In
Northern Pacific, which is attributed to one
of the leading officials of the property. The
absorption of stock was attributed to the lead
ing contending interest in the property. This
process of transference is significant of the
discord Bald to exist in the property. Rumors
are rife also of *.he breaking: of the agreements
which have been so favorable a factor In the
Northwestern railroad world. The effect was
manifested not only in Northern Pacific but
in Union Pacific and other railroads in the i
region affected. Delaware and Hudson was !
raided down to S3?* with accompanying ru^ i
nrrs of di -idend reduction. This Is the lowesK
price for several years and Is an accurate re- ]
flection of the decline in the anthracite trade,
other stocks affected by that trade falling in j
sympathy. Notwithstanding these elements ]
of weakness, the market showed good recupera
tive power, the buying of People Gas partic
ularly being a sustaining factor. The stock rose
an extreme 2- 4 . Burlington recovered a half j
of its quarterly dividend before the late re- j
lapse in the Grangers. Denver and Rio Grande |
pr" erred also showed continued strength.
The bond market showed a tendency to run |
off in the late dealings except for a few strong
spots after a period of early strength. Total
Bales, 13,275,000. United States threes and new
fours coupon advanced % in the bid price.

THE LONDON MARKET.
NEW YORK. Nov. 18.— Evening Post's
London cablegram nays: Americans were, the
only active market here to-day, and even in
those the support was still mainly confined to
Paris. Uerlin and professional operators here,
no transactions for the public yet being re
corded The close was a fraction easier. Ar
gentines were firm, but other markets were
featureless. Kaffirs were flat on the proposed
tax on mining- compnnles by the Transvaal
Government. .-,
Money rates in Berlin are a fraction easier.
New York Is said to be lending a large amount
of money to Germany for two or three months,
but 1 cannot verify the report. Germany, how

BHADSTREET'S FINANCIAL. REVIEW.
NEW YORK. Nov. Bradstreet's Finan
cial Review to-morrow will «ay: Compared
with this period in last weak both the stock
and bond transaction* have been on a smaller
scale and have been divested of any excite
ment. At intervals reactionary tendencies have
appeared, reflecting the taking of profits by
traders and large operators. The tone, how
ever, was in the main eteady and the public
shows greater interest in securities than for
a long time past, there being an excellent in
vestment demand for bonds and dividend-pay
in" stocks. When concessions appeared a good
buying demand asserted itself, although mere
was evidence of a good deal of changing of
speculative holdings from one part of the list
to another on the part of the public and the
stock market professionals. - The only posi
tively weak feature were a few stocks like
Northern Pacific common. In which realizing
fates outweighed the buying or Delaware and
Hudson, which broke on Friday on reports that
recent purchases of railroad |nes by the A an
derbUU Is adverse to other company inter
ests There was also a good deal of irregu
Srtty in American Sugar which, after a tur
ther advance in the beelnnlng of the
on covering of shorts, was dull and seemed m
cned to recede. On the other hand numerous
advances were scored, the most Prominent fea
ture being Atchlson preferred a £ d * he U8 h l ;

Baltimore and Ohio securities The Grangers,
however, under the lead of No rt h ,^ eß^ p ±."2
Burlington, were very strong and Northwestern
stocks of both the St. J aul ""f.^Mg ce t EE n ff rer c

were bullish movements in Peop'e L Gas Pa

nartfcularlv Denver and Rio Grande preferred.
The market here took a mild interest In the
J^nor^ thlt the Paris peace conference might j
he bVok-n off by the Spanish delegates. Some
attention was paid in the early part of the
week to the slight hardening tendency of the
NeK? York money market, though the advance
Warded foreign exchange and bring on a gold
Import movement.

DUN'S REVIEW OF TRADE.
NEW TORK. Nov. 18— R. O. Dun A Co.'l
weekly review of trade to-morrow will say:
The situation Is clearer and the Improve
ment In business which was expected after the
election has begun. Payments through clear
ing houses ar« far the largest ever known for
the week. 37.3 per cent larger than last year
and 33 per cent larger than in 1892. The glnss
workern have resumed, the anthracite coal out
put is heavy and much beyond the present ca
pacity of the markets, the troubles In Illinois
coal mines have been settled and the new strike
of shoe workers in Marlboro. Mass.. is now the
only labor hindrance of consequence. It is
noteworthy that in spite of all changes the
price of spot wheat has but slightly changed.
The exports for the week, flour Included, have
'been 3,9158,76s bushels from Atlantic ports,
against 3,237.344 laßt year, and Vrom Pacific
ports 955.093 bushels, against 2,191,334 last year,
making in all for two weeks of November 9,
312,331 bushels, against 9,939. 804 last year. Such
returns leave wide room for conjecture as to
the influences governing the price, but with
]f,';37.311 bushels received at Western points
during the week and In two weeks 20,261, .r>8
bushels, against ir.,285,167 last year. It can no
longer be said that Western supplies threaten
to run short.
The woolen manufacturer has gained In or
ders for the coming season, which Justifies the
heavy buying of materials recently seen, and
there are ai»o better orders for bpeedy deliv
ery, but the demand Is not large and much
machinery I* still waiting idly.
While sales of wool at the three ehtef mar
kets were heavy, 28.234.500 pounds In three
weeks, against 20.565.902 last year, and 17,103.
100 In 1892, they Include two large sale* for ex
port, covering 3,000,000 pound* of Montevideo
and Australian wool at 16 and 18 cents, ro
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 19, 1898^
spectlvely, which make clearer the fact that
prices asked by holders here are relatively
high. Pome concessions at Philadelphia fol
low those at Boston, though the market is on
the whole steady.
Iron !k In bigger demand all the time ani
yet production steadily Increases, and at P'tts
burjc Bessemer pig Is slightly lower at JlO 10,
th* new association being: undersold. Orders
for plates are beyond all precedent, including
material for cars, bridges, vessels and worK
of all sorts, and structural wnrk Is seasonably
quiet, though the mills have much ahead,
while in bars the demand is considerably bet
ter at Plttsburg with orders for material tor
6000 cars at Chicago. Some works at the fc-ast
are short of orders and prices are held bacK.
The expectation is that the proposed rail as
sociation will meet an extremely heavy demand
next year, especially for trolley lines, but it is
stated that prices wlJl not be advanced aDo\e
*20 at the East and $21 at Chicago. In Iron
products the next will probably be a record
breaking ypar. „„„ . ..
Failures for the week have been 233 in i trie
United States, against 267 last year, and <K> in
Canada, against "2 last year.
BRADSTREET'S ON THE CONDITION OF
TRADE.
NEW YORK, Nov. 18.— Bradstreefs to-mor
row will say:
Evidence accumulates that the good results
flowing from the recent elections are no longer
confined entirely to improvement In tone and
confidence, though the active feeling influences
dealings in both financial and mercantile lines.
Several substantial developments present them
selves this week, notable among which iir- a
number of advances in prices, exceptionally
few declines thereof, growing in strenjuy '"
the pigiron situation, unprecedently large weeic
bank clearings and remarkably good reports as
to export trade, not only in the line of foreign
products, but in enlarged trade In manufac
tured products distribution of merchandise
shows but little change from recently preced
ing weeks, but th« growth In confidence Is re
flected in very general reports of Improved col
lections on past business. •
First and foremost In the line of foreign
trade extension are the returns recently made
for October pointing to rxports for that month
larger than In the corresponding month of any
preceding year, second only to those of Decem
ber last year, and chargeable not so much as
formerly to enlarged exports of farm prod
ucts but to heavily increased exports of fin
ished products of American Industry. In this
connection especially good reports come from
the Iron and steel industry, which has thereby
been rendered more nearly independent than
ever' before of fluctuations In domestic de
mand. The strength in values of all cereals,
all the leading breadstuff? being higher this
week is of course, due to the constant foreign
demand, mnro than effecting very large gains
in domestic supplies, which, however, are be
low any corresponding period for years past.
Comparisons of four months' exports. July to
October inclusive, point to wheat and flour
•hinments U'tl<- below those of last year, and
only 10 per cent below those of IS9I. the heav
iest ever known. The strength of cereals finds
imitators on coffee, where the statistical posi
tion shows some Improvement; HURar, which Is
relatively higher for refined, on growing strength
of raw supplies; coffee, which still retains its
i old bullish tone, and oven cotton, which is
I higher on small movement and improving tone
of the goods market.
Wool sales continue of good volume on more
confident buying of email manufacturers, who
however, report the finished goods trade unsat
isfactory. Heavy sales of bonded wool for re

details.

CHICAGO WHEAT MARKET. m
CHICAGO, Nov. 18.— A rather weak tone was
shown by Wheat at the opening-. Reports from
Liverpool . received before the opening here
showed %@ld decline.- Argentine crop reports
were very favorable and seaboard houses re
ported email export demand. December started
*4@%c lower and May V4@Vic lower. The sell
ing pressure was not very heavy, and a mod
erate buying demand, mostly from profession
als, caused prices to slowly advance. For two
hours afterward the market was dull and In •
the main fairly steady. The market became
?ulte firm for a time aiter 11 o'clock. Orders
rom the outside either to buy or sell were
; few and far between, but local traders were
rather inclined to favor the buying side, es
pecially as regards December, and prices grad
ually worked upward. Half an hour from the
close the lack of local cash demand, apparent
all day, began to be appreciated and the 1 bot
tom apparently dropped out of the market.
The sudden break, however, bright in plenty
of buyers, and In the last few minutes of trad
ing prices advanced as rapidly as they had
declined. May closed at 65%@66c and Decem
ber at 66M:<366%c. . , - ,
Corn was fairly active. The market sold off
a little at ; first on the weak cables . and 'In
sympathy with Wheat, but soon became steady
and remained no for the rest of the session.
May closing a shade higher.
Oata were a little higher, but not especially
active. The firmness of Corn helped - Oats.
May closed at a shade advance over yester
day.
The market for Provisions, with the excep
tion of a few minutes around the opening, due
to sympathy • with grain, was firm, > but 'de
cidedly dull. Operations were confined almost
entirely to scalpers, packers doing very little,
and price fluctuations were -narrow. At the
close January pork was 5c higher, lard 2Hc
higher and ribs unchanged. _
