Is ready, just by tho stroke of a pen. ALWAYS READY ALWAYS SAFE! CAN WE SERVE YOr? OPEN SATURDAY XIGHTS. LATE FEATURES OF THE STOCK Early Weakness Followed by Moderate Rally. BETTER FEELING PREVAILS Evident Support in United States Steel and Other En couraging Signs. There was considerable weakness in stock during the first half hour yester day, ,but not much came out, and be fore midday there was a moderate ral ly. American Smelting broke to a new low record during thi first few minutes and National Lead and Westinghouse were also weak, with losses of several points each. Business was very small at midday, and almost came to spec ulative transactions, because of the premium on currency. In the last hour some little activity developed, with prices on a declining scale. About 2:15 o'clock a block of 4,500 shares of United States Steel com mon came out at 24, the lowest price thus far for the day, followed by anoth er of 2,500 shares at the same priae. Other stocks receded in like manner, and traders were apprehensive that some bad news was coming out. The only news pertained to a report of government withdrawals of funds from the bands and retrenchment by the United States Steel and other corporations. dend would be reduced continued, and strong predictions were made that it will be cut from 8 to 6 per cent, per annum. As an "offset to the bearish talk going around, it is said that the company has $6,000,000 'n the bank. Bidding on the prospective Smelting dividend has already begun. On the Broad street curb Ackerman & Coles early bid 1 1-2 for the next dividend on 25,000 shares, and then 1 5-8 for the dividend on 50,000 shares. Some sales were made at the latter figure. The directors are scheduled to meet for the dividend on December 4. The stock market was quiet at tha close with no evidences of liquidation. At the close of the day sentiment was somewhat improved, because of the somewhat smaller demand for currency from the Interior. The premium on currency continued high, but slightly under the top. That anybody should have been will ing to take 7,000 shares of Steel com mon in two blocks indicated, appar ently, that support was put in'and that it was believed the bear party was the seller. The block of 7,000 shares meant an investment of $168,000, which few persons would be likely to have in the present condition of the money market. Nevertheless, the advantage of the redlt system would facilitate the ransfer of one account to another .vithout disturbing the cash position of Jthe banks as a whole. , Such selling as there was of Ameri an Smelttng, National Lead and West nghouse appeared to come from a sin gle quarter to-day, and was set down iy Wall street as "forced liquidation' Jjy certain interests which were large aolders of all. of them. The gossip had o do chiefly with certain capitalists jvho have gone extensively into mining nd smelting operations during the xst fwo years. It was difficult to get ny real facts to-day regarding this matter. Further talk was heard about he alleged difficulties Of a Smelting ool. The selling of United States Steel and Union Pacific by a well known Philadelphia firm was attributed to the knowledge that more curtailments in operations are contemplated by steel and railroad interests. Late last week it was alleged that some vsrv promin ent mills of the United States Steel cor poration would close down. There proved to be nothing in this story at the time, and those who snkl stocks on this idea saw prices go against them. emce men lorces nave been reduce'! somewhat. It develODed to-rtav that some ont- of-town banks were selling their cur rency to the money brokers of this city, and using the cashier's checks given, in payment to deposit with their own correspondents in this citv. In this way the out of town banks deprive their own correspondents of the cur rency that would be sent them in the ordinary course of interior exchange, and preemptory action was taken 'to stop this method wherever it was de tected. All the lrge Wall street banks made heavy direct shipments on cur rency to-day to their interior corre spondents, although the amounts sent in most cases represented barely 25 per cent, of the sums asked for. , In the last hour there was nctlvn bidding of 1 3-4 per cent premium for toreign gold to arrive one week from next Friday. It is expected that from iu,uoo,uti to jiz, 000,0 30 will come by the new Cunard steamship Mauretanla, due that day. It Is expected that a large amount of French, gold will be imported by way of London by that steamer. London did scarcely anything in this market to-day, because of the poor fa cilities for getting; funds for the same, as some brokers explained it. The sales on balance probably amounted to 5,000 shares. American stocks were feature less in the London market before the local opening. After early weakness, they rallied a little. MARKET DULL. Union Pacific stock was closely atched for a "clue" because of the ending case In court regarding the ttempt to compel Mr. Harriman' to .stify ,as to the company's deals, esterday's selling of Union. Pacific as less than might have been ex pected, in view of the fears which ere entertained last spring, when the nse was being investigated by the In- rstate commerce commission. 1 Wall reet yesterday appeared to feel that would be Impossible to get many Imlsslons out of the financier. The best belief is that the Harriman ties will not reduce their dividends at e forthcoming meetings of directors. is wall street's idea that both the ilon Pacific and the Southern Paci- companies are in a better position maintain the dividends than ever fore. The latest report showed 17.7 cent, earned on Union Pacific mmon and 12 per cent, on Southern cine. In sympathy with the rest the market these shares weakened. ilon Pacific at one time showed a s of a full point at 110 1-2. besides the evident support of the ited States Steel shares and Indi- lons of a better situation in that pect in" Smelting, specialists had porting orders in New York Cen- 1 on. a scale down. These were said have a Vanderhilt origin, and in same way Kuhn, Loeb & Co. were lught to be giving out supporting lers for Pennsylvania and the con- tible bonds. rraders thought they saw signs of oear party at work in the metal :res, which has taken advantage of t retreat in the copper trade situa- to back up their operations. algamated Copper in the early ding broke a full point to 45 3-4, le Anaconda Mining tieciinea irac- lally. ' In Smelting there was a ak.to 60 3-4, a new low record, an fits of a point under snai maae sday, and 1 1-4 point's under sday's closing. ome attention was attracted by early selling of Atchison, It was 1 to represent collateral in loans.

But Downward Movement of Prices Wps Checked; New York, Nov. I3.r-The downward movement of prtces after running somewhat further in the early part of the session, was checked to-day. It will be remembered that 'the upward movement, after running over into yesterday's early market from the day before, received a similar check fol lowed by reaction. The rebound to day was narrower than the downward reaction yesterday and the market be came dull and uncertain in the later stages. This narrowing of the swing of, the price movement ia usually the sign of its approach to. a condition of more or less stable eqilibrium, In which it drifts with feeble . fluctations until gettinsr a new Initiative from some fresh development. . of the situation. Sch a period o'f quietude would be welcomed at present by all the most important interests concerned in the market. 'A tentative resumption of buying operations on margin on Mon day was deemed to be badly timed by the banking and financial leaders and the discouragement of those operations left the way open to yesterday's reac tion. There was evidence yesterday 'and early to-day, on the other hand, that the professional operators were disposed td take advantage of the ne glected condition of ths market to un dertage bear tactics. Means seem to have been found, also to. place ob stacles in the wayf these attempts, which have proved effectual. The pur pose of the.se various measures evi dently Is to keep the stock market quiet and free from excitement and feverisfhness while the task of mending the outside financial position Is pur sued. Attention almost entirely centers on the currency situation, and until relief begins to show in that respect no very definite opinion is likely to be formed of the limits within which the harm may be restricted which is flowing from these causes. The urgency of the demands for currency continued acute to-day, largely from out of town sources. The bidding of premiums for gold still to arrive indicates that con ditions are expected to continue. Pre miums paid to-day for . currency ranged up to 3 3-4 per cent. The con signment of over $8,000,000 in gold which arrived to-day made little Im pression on the currency premium amj was apparently disposed of in advance oi arrival, xne copper stocks met come effective support to-day, but the general list sagged again, after a re covery. Some anxiety was felt late in the day lest the Bank of England should make another advance In the official discount rate to-morrow. Bonds were irregular. Total' sales par value $3,318,000. U.
