New York, Nov. 12.—Lesq attention was paid to foreign news at the stock exchange today, and even lower cables from London had but a temporary influence on the local snare speculation. Operators, generally speaking, have elegated the eastern ques tion to the rear and are more concerned about the prospects of earnings of home i for some time past. The govern roads than 1_ . ment crop report, just issued, has revived discussion about future traffic receipts, and the opinion is almost unanimous that phe nominal yield of corn will inure to the great benefit of the railways, more espe cially the western lines. At any rate the leading officials of these systems are taking in the strain and their interviews have stim ulattKl purchases of stocks by capitalist who have been out of the market for months past. The granger roads are steadily in creasing their receipts, as it is, and the earnings promise to be something enormous when corn begins to move freely. For Octo ber the northwest will probably show a gain of $700,000, and the Burlington and Quincy, it is said, is doing almost as well. The fact that the sterling exchange has weakened enough to prevent gold shipments tomorrow also nad a good effect on stock. There are still rumors of exports of the metal on Sat urday, but it is by no means sure that ship ments will be made on that date as cotton is showing a declining tendency. London was busy with its fortnightly settlement, but the foreigners found time to buy a little St. Paul, Louisville and Nashville and At chison, probably 15,000 to 20,000 shares in all. Local shorts covered in the industrials and Burlington and Quincy became noticeable active, brought about by some amounts of long stocks. The improvement ranged from */» to 3Vfe per cent, and as a rule the beet figures of the day was current at the close.

Chicago Gas was thought on the refusal of Attorney-General Hancock to in terfere with the Flower-Olcott committee In their work of reorganizing the company, and Pacific Mall moved up on the reported willingness of the company’s representa tives to reopen negotiations with the Pana ma road. In the inactive stocks Metropoli tan Traction bounded up 5 to 109%, on the semi-ofiicial statements that the company has obtained control of the Forty-Second Street Boulevard line of this city.

JAsked. Chicago ’Change. Chicago, Nov. 12.—Amusingly large quan tities of wheat were bought by shorts today without affecting the market in tile slight est, and as the session drew near the close It was evident that prices displayed no de gree of firmness. Up until noon offerings were quite heavy, most of the sales of De cember not being accompanied by purchases of March or other distant deliveries, a lack of courage on the part of holders being thereby evinced. The financial situation (broad having shown Improvement, less at entlon was directed to the security and monetary conditions and more tb the legi timate news of the grain trade. Bradstrecrt’s feports an increase In the world's visible supply of 4,3W,00(J bushels. It was after the announcement of these figures that the market firmed, those who sold In expecta tion of the large increase buying back the wheat to realize profits. The board 6f trade roport of the world's shipments last week was 7,500,000 bushels, against S.OOO 000 bushels as cabled by Liverpool. December wheat opened from Sill to 571,B'jj57l4c, sold between [A'iii 57 and 57147157%e, closing at 57%@5714c, He higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was steady. Corn—Although the government in its re port of yesterday made the yield of corn 150,000,000 bushels less than it did a month ago, yet so immense is the crop that even the enormous reduction scarcely gave rise to the slightest comment, and certainly had no Influence of importance on prices. A slight gain was made over yesterday, but that was caused by a greater propriety at tributes to the influence of a like improve ment tn wheat than to the reduction in esti mation of the harvest. May corn opened afi £9^c, advanced to and closed at 29%<£i29%c, Vk9W higher than yesterday. Casn com was steady for old and higher for new. Oats—A scant eighth of a cent advance was recorded in oats, but it came about through the medium of the gain in w'heat and corn. No influential or notable trading took place and the market was quiet and as dull as ever. Cash oats were steady. Provisions—A ray of hope penetrated the provision market today. It was reflected from the yards, where hogs were in lighted supply and up 10c In price. Although values were improved a little business was* not and the session dragged from the beginning till the end. At the close January pork was 2%q higher than yesterday, January lard ana ribs each a Bhade higher. Domestic markets were steady.

The port receipts wrere 43.515 bales, against 33,043 bales last week and 61,060 bales last year and 55,963 bales for the same day In 1893: thus far this week 110,255 bales, against 96,061 bales thus far last week. The ports exported 19,622 bales to Great Britain, 9574 bales to the continent and 4698 bales to France. Today’s features: New Orleans operators and others were buying and prices closed higher In spite of a heavy fall in Liverpool. The upward movement of prices W’ere due !>artly to a rumor that Neill Bros, are to ssue a crop estimate tomorrow of 6,500,000 ►ales. Blades the receipts at the ports and the Interior towns w’ere smaller. Local shorts covered quite freely and the specula tion was on a liberal scale. The exports from the ports were large and the Liverpool spot market was active. If the receipts con- ! Unite moderate and the European situation brightens up a little it is believed that con tinental spinners will buy freely. Europe bought today. General Cotton Markets. Cities. Galveston... Norfolk.
