STOCK MARKET BREAKS
AFTER OPENING HOPEFULLY.
NORTHERN SECURITIES DE
CISION ONE MOTIVE.
Special Cause of Flurry in Money
Placing of $10,000,000 Pennsyl
vania Oar Trust Bonds.
New York, Nor. S. Tno opening deal
ings In the stock market this morning
rave every evidence of a renewal of strong
npirmrd movement. Price, were generally
higher, .sd the volume of activity was
Considerably above that for several days
post. It wa. evident that advantage was
taken of the higher level of price, to
market stock.
Thla has so frequently been the action
of the market through the recent period
of its advance that not much apprehen
sion was caused, especially as new points
of strength were developed and large buy
ing ordora passed from one to another.
The fact that only one or two stocks were
strong at a time, aroused the suspicion
that the market was being supported for
the purpose of realizing.
The existence of this suspicion made the
market vulnerable, and when the rate for
call loans flurried. to 4 per cent in the
afternoon, stocks came out freely from
all quarters of the room, and prices broke
rather precipitately. Some of the features
of strength had nominal explanations for
their advance, but the subsequent market
caused the Impression that the advance
fbould have been manipulated for pur
poses of sustaining the market. 3he
electric stocks made wide gains, the
heavy demand for copper pointing the
argument that electrical Industries are
very active. The special movements in
Atchison and Louisville, and Nashville
were based on corn and cotton-crop pros
pects. There was some accumulation of Read
ing, but its early advance was- fractlonaL.
There was enormous absorption, both of
"United States Steel preferred, and of the
sinking-fund bonds and tho operations
were attributed in large degree to the
operations of a pool. Colorado Fuel was
the only one of the independent steel
stocks to show marked sympathy. The
movement in Brooklyn Transit and Man
hattan was paralleled by that in Inter
borough Transit on the curb.
BALANCED BT CURB.
On the other hand, the persistent heavi
ness of the Pacifies on tho Stock Ex
change hod Us counterpart In the decline
of Northern Securities on the curb. The
motive seemed to be disappointment over
the further postponement of a decision
In the Northern Securities case. But these
scattering points of weakness were en
veloped in the latter decline, which over
came the -n boie market and wiped out the
gains In the few strong spots.
The special cause for the flurry In the
money market, was said to be the plac
ing of over JIO.O0O.O0O of Pennsylvania Car
Trust bonds. But many larger transac
tions than that have been conducted In
the money market in tho last few weeks
without disturbance. It was perceived this
morning that some of the largest recent
lenders of money were not in the market,
and those who delayed fllllnc their re
quirement until late, bid up the rato to
the -per-cent level. There wore no further
engagements of gold for export, but the
foreign exchange market continued Ann,
Last prices were only slightly above the
lowest and the closing tone was weak at
losses, generally of between 1 and 2 points.
Bonds weakened at soma points In sym
pathywith stocks. Total sales, par value.

General Tone of List Is Good, but
Outside Buying Interest
Is Small.
Trading In local securities was mainly in
tne traction Ishucs. United Railways pre
ferred was the weak i-pot. St. 1-ouls
Transit receipts and -slock were about
steady at JS.T5, but the preferred, under
selling pressure, cased off from $03.62',; to
$67.75. The 4-pct-cent bonds wcro flrmly
held at $S7.C3.
The only other active issues were Mis
souri Trust at Jill and Mississippi A'alley
Trust at $34S.
There was a fairly good inquiry for mis
cellaneous Issues, but holders, were unwill
ing to let go at current priics. This was
especially true of the Industrials.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Chicago, Nov. 22. Because the Liverpool
market responded to the Influence of wet
weather In Argentina, rather than to that
of the decline In American prices, with
an advance of Z'M1. because liquidation
had for the moment tun Its course, and
still more because of tho lar?e ahsorp
tlon of wheat by Annoti- jctcrday, the
local market opened str'-ig and excited,
from -Sl'io higher, with anxious cover
ing by scattered shorts, who had been
banking on a continuation of the de
cline, on profit-taking and Felling by local
traders, who feared the Armour wheat
would be on sale on any bulge.
There were reactions; but at Its weak
est May showed a gain of c at S1.004.
and touched 1.10. a net advance of lic.
Heavy offerings here forced another
sharp break, but on all the dips, instead
of liquidation, was a fair speculative de
mand, and tho market alu'ays mlll.d.
closing at Sl.CJ-'i sellers, a net gain of
lUc lor the day. Dec. gained lc. July
closed 7c up. '
Tintle was of smaller volume than the
day before, and the market nervous. There
was no Important change til conditions.
Northwest receirts still heavy, the flour
demand and the milling demand fcr wheat
generally rather dull, nlt.iouh there were
some scattered Indications of improve
ment. Local scalocrs were timid about
bujing. for fear of getting another flood
of Armour wheat on the bulges, and pos
sibly becaus-o of this sensitiveness there
were no marked symptoms of Armour bell
ing, anil some open Duymg by mat in
tercut at the close.
Tho early buvinc was led br Bartlett-
Frazlcr and by Spencer for the St. Louis
Dull coterie, tepiacing sales or 3'esteruay.
There was selllne on the bulges of Re
quena. Kneeland. Logan-Eryan and Pea
cy. The Southwest sent renewed com
plaints of drought damage and buying or
ders. A local miller had a hid from Lon
don for 5.&X) nick? of flour, the first In a
long time, only 7c out of line with the
wheat market at yesterday's close. The
local ca.sh market was dull po far as
millin; oemaud was concerned, and low
grades dracglng, hut there wa3 some spec
ulative buying; sales altogether, 4a.UW bu.
COI5N RECEIPTS DROP.
Corn receipts dropped to a lower figure
than grain men. who had been expecting
arrivals of 1,WJ curs a day this week,
looked for. only 233 cars, according to the
tstimate represented on the sample ta
bu s, and under a fair shipping demand
and covei ing Ly dealers who had been un
able to llll sales made for shipment from
the country by November 20. cash prices
recovered l'c.
This was an Important influence In the
pit. where prices ruled strong, closing near
the top at gains of nearly fc for all de
liveries, Dec at 49c sellers. May at 437(0
bid. Local cash sales were about 200,000 bu.
The good extort demand at the fco
board of 4W.W0 bu. and rumors that West
ern corn wa arriving East In poor condi
tion disturbed shorts who covered freely
on the upturn around 4:-c; for May. There
was, a great deal for sale through com
mission houses
OATS IN WIDER RANGE.
Oats covered a little wider range of Uc,
but there was no Increase in speculative
activity, trade dull and the strength of
rorn the Important influence, under which
there was an advance of Jic In all deliv
eries. Cash prices were steady, the ship
ping demand moderate, sales SO.000 bu.
Country acceptances are light and so are
receipts. 101 cars inspected In sheet, and
to-daj's arrivnls estimated at 27 cars.
Provisions were strong on buying by the
Cudahys of pork and ribs. On the other
hand, the smaller packers were selling.

iTom Initial transactions to the end of
tho session, the wheat market exhibited
remarkable . tre-ngth. At the opening Dec
was up lWHic. at Sl.Oi'iSLOD, and May tic
SHiC at JlOJii-gl-K!1!.
The advance was largely due to higher
prices in foreign grain markets. Liverpool
cables being up d, notwithstanding the
i-evrro break here yesterday. The treni;th
abroad was tald to bo the result 'f actlvo
buying caused by reports fiom Arg-n!!na
claiming that heavy rains had delayed
harvesting In that country, i'rom the
start, shorts were eager bidders for
wheat, but offerings at lirst ac-e lirrlted.
A little later there wa9 .ome s-'-iling as
a result of liberal receipts 'i t le North
west. There was also consl'1-r ililc p.-ntit-taking.
which Anally resulted in a tllsht
reaction. At Sl.OS's for Doc. however,
shorts again bcam active 1 uyer.s, and
prices started on another .ipwird move
ment. Throughout the remainder of the
day the tendency was toward a higher
ltiel.
SOUTHWEST NEEDS RAIN.
A number of reports were received from
the Southwest, stating that ram i3 great
ly needed, and that much damage is be
ing done by drouth. Another bullish con
sideration was a decrease in primary re
ceipts. Strength of cash wheat at Kan
sas City was also a factor. Hlsh point
on Dec. for the dav was reached at Jl.OD".

SUMMARY OFST. LOUIS MARKETS
Thero was a reaction In yesterday's grain market, following Monday's sharp de
cline. As thero liad been a great deal of overselling, it was not difficult to put the
market up on generally bullish conditions at home and abroad. Though there wa3 still
a disposition on the part of many traders to sell, tho offerings were very well ab
sorbed and a conslde-ralilc portion of tho previous day's losses was wiped out. Altera
good strong opening on higher cables and renewed talk of drought In tho Southwest,
thero were occasional recessions, but the market was further strengthened by reports
of crop damage in the Argentine, where thero was said to be too much moisture. Thus
both rain and lack of rain were used for the benefit of the bulls. Tho Argentine news
was believed to have been the main cause for the foreign advances. This raised a.
hope that American breadstuffs might be put on an exportable basis and there was a
consequent Improvement In the cash demand. A falling eft in receipts here and at
other primary points also had a bullish effect.
Corn, though dull, was strong. There wa a. scarcity of contract grade, thou;h
total receipts were larger than on the corresponding day last year.
Dec. wheat opened HBc up and closed l'.s-Sl'ic up.
Dec. corn opened So up and closed J4c up.
Dec. cats closed !Bc off.
Receipts of produce were In fair volume, but there was a good demand and prlcc3
of fruits and vegetables were generally steady.
Local securities were dull. United Railways preferred eased off 'and trust company
issues were strong.
Yesterday's bank clearings were $10,023,150. balances 51.027.K3. Discount rates were
steady between 4'i and 6 per cent.
Spot cotton was '.4c lower In the local market.

DROIT; HT IS AGAIN A FEAT
URE. Too Much Rain in the Argentine
and Scarcity of Contract Grade
Help the Buying Side.
Wheat values were on tha advance in
jesterday'a market. Overselling and gen
erally bullish news put an effectual check
which sent prices crawfishing toward the
dollar mark at the previous session. Thero
was not enough rain In the Southwest,
and too much In tho Argentine. The re
sult was good, strong markets both at
home and abroad. Though thera were
occasional recessions, all offerings were
