In Wall Street.
New York, Nov. 14.—After fractional de
clines at the opening the railway and mis
cellaneous stock market became strong and
continued %o until near the close of busi-*»
ness, when professional traders sold rather
freely on unconfirmed reports of shipments
of $5,000,000 gold by Saturday’s European
steamers. The best opinion is that some
gold will goon the day named, but authori
ties do not agree that the amount,will reach
the total given. Some bankers estimate
that $1,000,000 will go farward, while others
place the amount at $2,000,000. L. Von Hoff
man & Co. And William 11. Crossman &
Bro.. it is said, will undoubtedly ship some
Sterling exchange was very strong, and
actual rates are nigher than for some time
past, and there are no signs of relief in
sight. Still there was excellent buying of
stocks during the greater part of the day,
more particularly' of the granger issues,
which are being taken on the heavy move
ment of wheat in the west and northwest.
There is talk of bull pools In Burlington and
Quincy, and one prominent operator in the
industrials is said to have transferred his
interests of Rock Island. These buyers ex
pect to unload later on, when the enormous
earnings of the roads in question are made
public. The grangers at one time showed
gains of per cent, Chicago, Burling
ton and Quincy leading, with sales up to
£♦>?£». -Western Union, the south westerns,
Louisville and Nashville and the anthracite
coalers also participated in the upward
movement. Manhattan was again a weak
spot and broke from 103*6 to 101V4@'101U- The
annual report is still having a depressing
influence on the shares. Metropolitan Trac
tion on the other hand was firm and moved
up from 103% to 112, Pacific Mail Jumped
from 29% to 32 on the revival of the old
story of a deal with the Panama. Officials
of the latter say there is absolutely no
change in the status of the negotiations, so
far as they are concerned. In the indus
trials, Sugar, Chicago Gas, Tobacco, Gen
eral Electric advanced to 1% per cent In
the early dealings, but subsequently the Im
provement was lost. Reading dropped 2
points late in the day on rumors that the
reorganization plan will provide, for a vot
ing trust and a heavier assessment than
was generally expected. Speculation closed
weak, the active issues showing declines of
per cent for the day. Manhattan lost
2 per cent. Chicago Gas gained %, Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy %, Lackawanna %,
Consolidated Gas %, Jersey Central 1 and
Pacific Mall 1% per cent. iteely motor ad
vanced from 4 to 6 bid. The sales of the
stock were 150 shares. Total transactions

Chicago 'Change.
Chicago, Nov. 14—A sensational advance
In December wheat In St. Louis was the
leading Influence in this market today.
The trade in that section has arrived at
the conclusion that the proportion of In
ferior winter wheat with which It is possi
ble to fulfill contracts is not quite as large
ns has all along been thought. Shorts in
. trie St. Louis market were nervous about
the material and sharp bulge of l'A^lHc
which took place In the December option
with Chicago tailing on. An early report
that English consols were also lower con
tributed to the strength In wheat but with
n denial later and an abatement of the ex
citement at St. Louis, all the early gain In
prices was lost and the close was at n. frac
tional decline from yesterday. December
wheat opened from 5754 to 57%c, sold be
tween r.7H and fistic, closing at 57»6®57%c,
a shade under yesterday. Cash wheat was
c per bushel higher, closing easy with
the futures.
Corn—The market rose and fell with that
of wheat, and the Influence coming In later
was beyond doubt the most important fac
tor. May corn opened at 2934c, sold be
tween that and 29V4c, closing at 291/4'3’2!W4c,
He under yesterday. Cash corn was fle per
bushel higher.
Oats—A generally lifeless market was seen
In oats whilst there wsb fair trading on oc
cartons, still In the aggregate the transac
tions were far from being important. A
comparatively steady tone ruled, the early
strength of wheat and corn evidently fur
nishing the motive. May oats closed un
changed froffl yesterday. Cash oats werfe
14c per bushel higher. 1 1
Provisions—All the strength that early
prcjvailed in products was lost by the last
hour’s trading. The action of the hog mar
ket was apparently disregarded in provis
ions—prices displaying a certain amount of
firmness, although hogs were not so. This
was due to the wheat market, no doubt. It
was consistent, therefore, that the lata de
cline In grain should be instrumental In
bringing prices for products down. At the
close January pork was 7%<®10c lower, Jan
uary lard 2%c lower and January ribs 2W(i>
5c lower.

Bun's uonon neview.
New York, Nov. 14.—The Sun's cotton re
view says: Cotton declined 10 to 11 points,
but rallied later on and closed steady, with
sales of 300,100 bales. Liverpool declined 5
points for future delivery and 1-lGd in the
spot, with sales of 15,000 bales. New Orleans
declined 10 to 18 points and then recovered
9 to 10 points of the loss. Spot cotton here
was quiet at l-lOo decline, with sales of 825
bales for spinning. Mobile, Savannah and
Augusta declined l-16c, Norfolk and St.
Louis He, and Wilmington He. Norfolk sold
792 bales. Mobile 600, Savannah 505 and Au
gusta 499 bales.
New Orleans receipts tomorrow are esti
mated at 11,000 bales, possibly 14,000 bales,
against S861 bales for the same day last
week, 20,091 bales for the same day last year
and 11,578 bales for .the same day in 185*3.
Houston’s receipts tomorrow are estima
ted at 7000 to 8000 bales, against 14,900 bales
for the same day last year.
At Manchester yarns were quiet and un
changed; cloths were dull and Irregular.
Shipments to the continent were 8000 bales,
against 2000 bales last year.
The port receipts were 25,601 bales, against
20,287 bales for the same day last week;
port receipts thus far this week 168,022 bales,
against 151,403 bales thus far last week.
Today’s features: Continued liquidation
for local and southern account by holders
evidently discouraged by the weakness in
Liverpool and New Orleans as well as some
increase in the receipts at the ports caused
a decline. The weakness in New Orleans is
one of the drawbacks at the moment, but
Europe shows a disposition to take the cot
ton more freely. Unless there is a material
increase in the receipts better prices are ex
pected in this country.
