EASTERN MARKETS, New York Stock Market. NEW YORK, Nov. 10.— The early part of the day in the stock mark'-t was given over to a continuance of the throwing over of st -'k holdings which wa.-* in evidence yesterday. The liquidation was on a large scale and braced all departments of th« list. The more highly speculative industrials - wed the widest changes, but the selling of the standard rail road stocks was fully equal in amount. Th^re was pa stock or group of stocks which took a conspicuous place apart from othere, unless It might be. said that the Iron and steel stocks ■were relatively somewhat iim-wr than the gen eral list. The same n.ight bo said of Northern Pacific and Union Pacific. Declines at the low point exceeded a P'>int for many standard rail rc>ad shares and In a few cages reached up ward of two. points. Leather, after a break of live poll rallied pomewhnt and retired into the background of the trading, transactions in It being small for the remainder of the day. Pugar and Manhattan were rather weaker than the balance of tho list, but they rallied with considerable vigor. The latttr part of the Jay ■was given over to a gradual and very general recovery of part of the earlier decline on a much diminished volume of trading. Most of the leading railroad stocks rallied a large frac tion and a number of the trading specialties between one and two points. Consideration of the money outlook continued to dominate lent - ment in the Stock Kxchange. The banks con tinued to call li.ans for ■Si: amounts the rate for call money opening at 13 and running up to 15 per cent. Large amounts of stocks held' with borrowed money were thrown upon the market. After each successive period of liquidation the market fell into a condition of eemi-stagnatlon. During the aftf-rnoon the rate for. call money dropped off as low as 3 per cent and the demand for stocks developed, which caused the recuperation In prices to the closing level. The usual preliminary estimates of the •week's cash movements show.i a rather smaller shipment to the interior than had l*en esti mated, .though the io»s to the sub-treasury of $3,w\000 was up to anticipations. The week's net "loss In cash ie figured at over $4,00m,W» from all causes. The easing in the money rate to day served to ameliorate the dread that to morrow's bank statement would show an ln erease In the deficit. Th loan contraction dur ing the 'week has been large. There wag a rumor on the floor of the - exchange that the banks' resources had been Increased by means of cash deposits by institutions in New York City,' with a view to relieve the situation. This rumor could not be traced to any authentic source, "but affected sentiment on tho Stock Exchange and Inclined speculative opinion to look for. another surprise In to-morrow's bank statement. The stiff money market resulted In a- further drop in sterling exchange rates, ■which was assisted also by buying of stocks here for London account, estimated at as high as 60,0 f )0 shares. New York exchange at Chi cago rose again to par, but at New Orleans the exchange continued to run against New York. Prices of bonds moved in sympathy with stocks early In the day. but failed to respond to the late recovery. Total sales, par value, $2,330,000.

NBW YORK, Nov. 10.— Bradstreet's review of the New York stock market to-morrow will Bay: Although last Saturday's bank statement I showed that the averages of the Clearlng ' house banks were beHw the l<sral reserve limit | the stock market displayed little trepidation j and on last Monday money was relatively quiet. I^arge speculative interests apparently sup | ported their specialties on a belief that the i election would evolve no sweeping changes in the country's political sentiment. This last was substantially verified at the polls on Tues -1 day and produced at the opening on 'Wednesday not only considerable local buying, but foreign support as well. It was, however, quickly evi dent that professional interests were Inclined to realize on the advance, and later in the day leans were called freely by the banks, money becoming relatively less plentiful and iates naturally stiffened. These lalt.-r tendencies, as well as the declines in quotations throughout the list which accompanied them, were even mere ptrikltmly displayed In Thursday's trad- Ing, when the whole market developed decided weakness, the Industrial strikes in particular rH'.-. ting the renewed acute uncertainty about the financial situation. There has been more or l»-.=H discussion as to the great possibility that the Treasury will relieve the money market by an offer to purchase bonds, or that tho slight rises In New York exchange at Western points arc preliminary to a movement of funds from the interior to New York. It also does not escape notice that foreign exchange rates moved downward BimultaneoUKly with the : hardening of call money. There seems, how ever, to be no general expectation of gold Im jj .rts, not only because of the war In Africa an.) the rather sensitive financial position both at London and on the Continent, but be cause it is felt that any real danger of a flow ! of gold to the Tnited States will ireate a fur ther and decided advance In rates for money abroad. The conclusion, therefore, seems to be that holders of stocks for speculative purposes had become wearied of carrying them In the face of a money market in which 8 per cent i was a comparatively low rate and 10 to 15 I per cent appeared likely to be maintained with ("•me Intermissions. The liquidation Mhich to I all appearance! set in after Wednesday, \ns i without reference to the prosperity of the coun- I try or the continuance of favorable reports of j railroad earnings. It presented, on the whole i an opinion in speculative circles that the money | situation dominates the market, and that until assurances "f relief from tight money were ; forthcoming it was useless to anticipate a con tinued or permanent rise in prices. The appar ent ending of a bullish manipulative deal in Vnited States Leather common, which sto^lc has presented some extreme fluctuations als.> had a bad effect on the market and added to the uncertainty about the industrials, oM and new, whl^h was one of the features. On Friday the market was very weak, with further evi dences of liquidation and declines throughout the list. A general expectation of another bad statement of the banks added to the unsettled ff-ellng. At the close, however, there was a moderate rally on covering of shorts and favor ahie reports about conditions influencing the money market. Bradstreet's on Trade. NEW YORK, Nov. 10.— Bradstreefs to-mor row will say: Strength of prices, a natural outcome of past and present active demand, is still the leading j feature of the trade situation, notwithstanding ■ unseasonably warm weather in some sections of j the country tends to restrict retail trade ana necessarily has some effect on re-orders and collections by jobbers. Less than ordinary in terruption is indicated by election day observ ances. The strength of textiles, both raw ana manufactured, has been further accentuate ! during the week, increases being noted In raw cotton, wool and hemp. „ „, The strength of textiles, leather, oils and miscellaneous products was calculated to onset the weakness and irregularity in metals, not Including iron and steel, however, cereals ana other food products Haw cotton advanced easily this week on an appearance of better buying of foreign consumers. Induced by re ports of frost damage, small movement and a domestic demand for the manufactured pro duct. Realizing later Imparted some irreg"" lartty and even excitement to this utnple. WOO! i has been equally strong, though transactions j are smaller and a material g»l" )n prices Is to be noted, while from the manufactured goods branch it was reported of confident strength | and of probable future advances In men's wear goods and carpets. (Vreals appear to have reached a dead l p y,f>. with prices showing little or no change. The dullness of wh»at at domestic markets finds explanation m~r>radstreet's statistics of w-rld a stocks, which indicate a gain for th» month of (/ver 17.000.iX10 bushels, contributed entirely from American sources, however, ac foreign kupjiMhr showed a little shrinkage. Situs accumulate that shoe manufacturers and Jobbers are meeting with success In secur- Ing recently advanced pri>~ p? Hides aJirt leather am sympathetically strong and shoe manufac turers are actively employed. Anxiety in lumber is a feature at many mar kets and strength of prices is no less mark.-d. In Iron and steel there Is rather more lrr.'K ularity noted. Active demand on the r*iroaJ \ account has Induced the advances in Irmi and j Bteel bars of $5 per t'.n, but steel billets are | lower. There is a heavy volume of business re ported In pig iron for late 1900 delivery, and that product Is slightly higher at the East, must furnace statistics for October p.ilnt to a further increase in production, but Btockß again 5(...« a decrease pointing to consumption sti.i j outstripping production. Copper is dull at the ( recent decline and tin Is rather weaker In | hardware business is relatively more active at ; the West, heavy and light sorts being equally active, but In builders' grades the uutluok at the East is not so favorable. High prices are turning away export business in finished products, but imports show little if any expansion. Wheat. Including flour, shipments for the week aggregate 4,465,842 bushels, against 8,036,- Ssfi bush-is last week, 3,704,693 bushels It: the corresponding week of K<\ 5,445,542 bushels in 1891 l 664,515 bushels in 1896 and 2,325,025 bush els In 1895.

G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade to-morrow will say: The most noteworthy feature of the time Is the rise in prices. Cotton rose on Wednesday to 7.ki cents, with much excitement, putting the price 2H cents higher than it was a year ago, and yet it was still higher in September, 1597. Wool has risen relatively moro— about 10 per cent In two weeks, and the average of 100 quo tations by Coates Bros. Is higher than it has been at any other time since May, 1593. Pig Iron has risen further, *25 being quoted for Anthracite No. 1. the highest price since January. ISS3. But Hides are at the highest point since Jan uary, 1573. having risen all the year with very little reaction. Prices of products have not correspondingly advanced. Leather and Boots and Shoes were higher in November. 1895, than they nre now; Cotton goods were higher In January. 1*96, and Woolen goods In July, 1594; and even the products of Iron, although greatly advanced, are not as high as they were In Jan uary. !•:■' Such wide discrepancies In advance cause much embarrassment, but are the natural characteristic of a rise which Is mainly due, not to concerted action in any trade, but to the pressure of a consuming demand, the great est ever known, which . for the time exceeds supplies, though very unequally. Its results begin to justify the conservative feeling which finds expression In many branches of business. The iron industry, which has led all otheru in the advance, bow leads the way toward a readjustment of values. While contracts for pig cover the entire product of the most impor tant districts for Mx to nine months In ad- \ vance, many of the consuming works In some i lines approach the end of their orders and have new competition to meet, so that sheets have ■ fallen $4 per ton at Pittsburg and $9 from the highest point in September, and plates are $« lower there and $3 at Philadelphia. At the same time bars are $1 per ton higher, both at Philadelphia and Pittsburgh the demand ooing enormous, and at Chicago very heavy contracts have been made for car and implement works. A bridge combination is thought likely to af fect future business In structural shapes, which continues large for the season. A break In the London market depressed Tin. and sales were made at 28 cents. 800 l and shoe makers are generally getting about the 10 cents per pair advance they have held necessary, and have as large contracts in most lines as they now wish to close, in view of the uncertainty about materials. Leather continues very strong, and In that also dealers are not anxious for greater commitments, but the consuming demand causes large sales In advance of production. Wool has been very strong again, though sales at Boston were but 13,404,000 pounds, against 21,657,300 pounds the week before; nut largp transactions elsewhere raised the week's aggregate to 20.201,000 pounds, and buyers hold firmly for outside prices. Nothing like the sensational rise of last week has continued, and the buying by manufacturers is slow, though still large. This and accounts of good trade Indicate that an extraordinary business Is expected for the next season. Th'- risi ll ■■ -t helps manufacturers whose contracts cover production well ahead. but the lining has been mainly by trnilerp and largely on expectation of n very low cs timate of yield by the department. While last year*! estimate was not highly ai'cu irade here and abroad then counted on a large crop and was right. Wheat t:a= not been very active nor strong. although Western receipt.! have much declined, being 4,Ti:!1,%7 bushels for the week, against i* bushels last year. Exports ar>' also smaller, the Atlantic being 2.. r ,ti3.637 bushels, flour Included, against 3.335,f.n0 bushels for the week last year, and Pacific L 188 ,699 bushels, against l.r>K:tfil bushels lust y*«r. The decrease In foreign demand may be ascribed In part to heavy previous exports, hut perhaps still more to the great mnvem°nt of Corn, 3,450,104 bUSheIM for the week, against 2,062,331 bushels last year. Corn advanced about as much as Wheat fell, though with prospects of a heavy yield. Failures for the week have been 157 In the Dnited States, against 211 last, year, and 23 in Canada, against 2H lapt year. New York Grain and Produce.

Nov. 10.— Information completely discouraging to the bull sentiment caused an i opening break in wheat of %@%c. December • started at 67% c and May at 71%@71%c. Liver pool was weak and grew steadily weaker with the progress of trading, but the chief factor In the decline was the heavy Argentine ship ments, which caused a lot of liquidating by local longs. The Argentine supply was gen erally supposed to have been exhausted and the news that shipments from the other side of the equator were 1,752,000 bushels came as a sur prise. The price held for a short time on the . buying of shorts and against puts, December 1 touching 67»4c and May 71% c, but the letting out of long wheat caused a decline, December j dropping to 67% c and May to 71V s c. A report that the Argentine crop had been injured by frost and dry weather caused a rally from the bottom, but as there was no confirmation i of the report the little gain was soon lost. Covering by shorts near the end of the sea ■ sion caused an advance, December going to 67% c and May to " 15 v: %@%c below yester day and the close was at those prices. A feature of the market was the narrowing of the December-May spread to 3%c, with a good deal of changing as if the elevator people were accepting the difference. I An undercurrent of confidence in the future I value of corn rescued that cereal j from the demoralization which struck wheat. This, It is believed, was largely based on the small ness of country offerings. December closed at 3Hii@3l%c, unchanged from yesterday. May closed a shade down at 32% c asked. Oats were neglected by speculators, selling within a range of Vie and acting in a sluggish sort of way with corn. December closed at 22% c. Provisions excited little interest. Buying of i December pork aided the price for a time, but the weakness of the grain market and lower hog prices counteracted this. January pork closed 5c lower, January lard a shade under, and January ribs 2%0 lower. The leading futures ranged as follows: Articles — Open. High. Low. Close.

Butter Is again cheaper. Eggs ana Cheese are unchanged from last week. ; In Meat the only change Is in Hams, which are cheaper. Fresh Meats bid fair to continue high for some time to come. Oranges are coming in more freely, and will soon be plentiful. The other Fruits' are- now practically limited to Apples, Pears and Grapes, and the rains are rapidly finishing the latter! Vegetable? stand about the same as usual. Some kinds of Poultry are less plentiful owing to diminished receipts from the East' but prices show little change. Game continues too dear for the ordinary purse Fish is scarce, owing to the storm, and th« prices are high.
