MARKETS BY TELEGRAPH.
In Wall Street.
New York, Nov. 15.—The stock speculation
was irregular and rather feverish today.
Business, however, was on a smaller scale
■than on any previous day of the week, the
total sales footing up 194,480 shares, against
275,756 shares yesterday. In today's total
Tobacco figured for 29,000, Reading for 26,700
Sugar for 22,000, Manhattan for 17,004 and
Burlington and Quincy for 11.700 shares.
At the opening some stocks showed slight
gains while others, notably Manhattan,
were weak. Later on the pools in the gran
gers supported their favorites, and a firmer
tone characterized the trading. The engage
ment of $2,250,000 gold for Europe tomorrow,
all of which will be withdrawn from the
sub-treasury, did no>t alarm legitimate hold
ers of stock, but the professional traders
sold rather freely of the industrials and
standard issues in the resumption of the
outward movement of the metal. This class
of operators are looking for still heavier
shipments next week, which they hope will
bring about liquidations again in the active
list. Bankers are manifesting no concern
about the matter and except intermittent
shipments the next few weeks unless the
exports of cotton and grain should happen
to assume large proportions. The treasury
gold reserve dropped below the ninety mil
lion mark, but it excited only a languid in
terest. L. Von Hoffman & Co. and Lazard
Freres, who will ship gold tomorrow were
members of the Belmont-Morgan syndicate.
The activity of the traders and a rumor
that an uptown dry goods firm was in trou
ble, finally brought about a decline in prices
of % to 3 per cent Tobacco dropped 3 to 37,
Manhattan 1T4» to 100%, Leather preferred 1%
to 68%, Sugar 1% to 99%, Reading 1^ to 10%,
General Electric 1% to 81%. Missouri Pacific
1 to 30%, Jersey Central 1 to 107, Southern
Railway preferred 1% to 35%. Tennessee
Coal 1% to 33 and the other unusually active
issues % to % per cent. Pacific Mail moved
tip to 31% on semi-official statements that
the deal between the company and the
Panama road had been completed, and that
all that was needed was the signatures of
the presidents of the company. Leather
preferred was weakened by further cut In
the leather prices, and Manhattan was
heavy under the unfavorable September
quarter just filed at Albany. There was
heavy liquidations In Reading junior securi
ties, on the reiteration of the old reports
about heavy assessments on the stocks, etc.
Wall street has been expecting this every
since prominent bankers of this city was
asked to participate in the work of rehabili
tating the property, but nevertheless the re
nublication of the report startled weak
nolders who wished to get out. In the clos
ing dealings the rumor of the embarrass
ment of a well known dry goods concern
was denied, and a rally of %<5% per cent
followed, Manhattan and Sugar leading. In
the inactive shares Rio Grande and Western
preferred fell to 39. Pullman Palace car
Jumped 2% to 167%. Keely Motor Hold at G
for 100 shares. Net changes show losses of
%'51% per cent in the railway list, and %@)
2K in the industrials.
Bonds were irregular; me transactions ag
gregated $928,000.
The sales of listed stocks aggregated 164,
286 shares, and of unlisted stocks 30,194
shares.

Chicago ’Change.
Chicago. Nov. 15.—The range of prices In
wheat Today. % ot a cent Illustrates the
quietness and activity which prevailed la
that market throughout the session. The
New York and seaboard orders generally
were to buy, whilst the attitude of local
traders was notably averse to advancing
prices. All the big operators, when they
traded at all. displayed a marked prefer
ence for selling rather than buying. Yes
terday's closing weakness was carried Into
the opening transactions this morning. The
Joint action of European powers In refer
ence to Turkey allayed any fears of politi
cal entanglements abroad, consequently de
stroying whatever help prices had been re
ceiving from that consideration. December
wheat opened from 67V4 to 57Hc, sold be
tween 57ft and 5714c. closing at 57ftc, 148He
under yesterday. Cash wheat In the sample
department was quiet and steady.
Corn—Late in the session there was free
selling: of the near deliveries In corn, evi
dently In liquidation. The main factor, how
ever, in defining the course of prices was
the downward trend of wheat. In May,
there was less activity than in the near by
options, and prices varied but *c all day.
May corn opened at* 29*c and closed at 29%c,
the range being bounded by those quota
tions. The loss for the day was *c. Cash
eorn was *0*c per bushel lower.
Oats—The general dullness of all specula
tive articles on the floor was not relieved
by anything that occurred in oats. The
tone averaged steady, a slightly easier feel
ing existing at .the close. This was due to
the weaker tone of wheat and corn.
Provisions—The opinion was ventured by
a prominent commission man that this was
the dullest day ever known In provisions.
There had been so much inactivity and
lethargy in this market that it is question
ble whether the claim was accurate or not.
Be this as it may there was practically
nothing dttne and prices scarcely moved at
all. At the close January pork and ribs were
a shade lower and January lard unchanged.
The domestic markets were quiet and
steady.
The leading futures ranged as follows:

In Manchester yarns were tending down
cloths were dull. Spot Cotton here declined
}4c, with sales of 437 bales for spinning.
New Orleans, Savannah and Augusta de
clined l-16e. The tone at New Orleans and
Mobile was easy. New Orleans sold 6000
bales and Mobile 500 bales. New Orleans
fell 18 to 21 points, recovered about half of
this and then reacted and late in the day

on the spot in two days. The port exports
today were liberal, reaching about 30,000
bales.
Today’s features: There was a sharp de
cline early in the day. due to a falling in
Liverpool, the decline there being attributed
to cable dispatches from this side asserting
that there was danger of financial trouble in
New Orleans. When these reports were
stigmatized as falsehoods Liverpool rallied
and so did New York, still later all the mar
kets gave way, however, owing to the
rumors of impending trouble in the dry
goods trade in this city.
