EASTERN MARKETS NEW YORK STOCK MARKET • -NEW YORK, Nov. 24. — Prices of stocks advanced again today and the volume mt dealings expended over the shrunken total of yesterday, but without getting back fully to the daily average of last week's transactions. The market showed a tendency toward recovery from the outset of the day, but the movement had 6hown signs of flagging when a stimulating effect was felt from the application to the stock exchange to list $74,866,400 additional Southern Pacific common stock, to be issued In exchange for the preferred stock, which is outstanding to that amount. The preferred stock, while entitled to 7 per cent dividends prior to common stock dividend claims, is subject to redemption at 115 at any time prior to July 1, 1910. It is also exchangable for common stock up to that tftne. As the common stock had never paid more than 6 per cent dividends ! and has sold lower than the preferred stock, there has been no attraction in • tha exercise in the privilege of exchange. The price of the stock has now Irisen above redemption price of the preferred stock, which is 115, but still sells 'below tne market price* for the preferred, which was 121% today. For these reasons and general ignorance of the fact that the new .stock had been actually J authorized the bare announcement of the application to place it on the list of the stock exchange had in it something of mystery. The step was an indica ,iion that some actual demand was being made for Southern Pacific common •ctock by preferred stock holders, and there is the fact that the Southern Pacific holds in the treasury $34,200,000 of this Southern Pacific stock, thus liable to redemption at 115, or with the privilege of conversion into common stock. The movement to convert would imply a belief in higher dividends on common istock, while the preferred stock would remain limited to 7 per cent dividends. From the standpoint of Southern Pacific finances, however, the increase in the volume of common stock with claims on increased dividends would encroach on the claims to profit of the present common stock holders. The fact that this additional common stock has been authorized finds no place in the state 'inent of the manuals regarding Southern Pacific finances. It was stated in \u25a0connection with today's application to list the new stock that its authorization ;had been carried with that of the preferred stock, in view of the conversion privilege of the latter. In the case of the Union Pacific the stock to provide for the conversion privilege of the convertible bonds has been expressly authorized and finds a place in the financial manuals. In fact, today's per functory action makes so little change in the existing status of Southern Pacific and there was so much confusion regarding its significance that it was eimply made the basis of an assumption that more important financial projects affecting the two favorite Harriman properties were thus heralded. It was this assumption that was the real reviving force in the market and in the broaden ing of the movement as the day progressed. The closing tone was very strong and with prices generally up from 2 to 3 points on the day. Bonds were strong. Total sales, par value, $7,406,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call.

Xevr York Cotton Market NEW YORK, Nov. 24. — Cotton opened inac tive, but the . undertone was . nervous. The bears made a raid on prices around midday and forced values down 6 to 8 points from tbe pre vious close, but with less pressure to sell tbe market it regained 2 to 5 points of the loss. Tim spot situation is attracting attention. We believe the market will be a traders* affair for the time being. \u25a0 . CHICAGO, Nov 24. — The. cotton market to day, after an Indifferent start, finally pulled back up to yesterday's level in the face of rather large port receipts, 104,000 bales, against 65,000 on tbe same day last year, and in the face of an attempt on the part of tbe profes sional speculators to work tbe market to a lower basis. Just why there should b« any fear that spot cotton would be shipped from the south to be tendered on December _ and January Is hard to discern, for the reason that spot cotton in the south is bringing higher prices by'%@% cents relatively than New York, but at any rate these professionals have about liquidated their long Interest in the nearby months and are almost ready to run to cover on their short cotton in tbe more distant months. With cotton still very close to 9, cents, it- being practically the cost of production, there should be no anx iety about the price. On December 8 we will have our sinning report and on \u25a0 December 9 the agricultural department will estimate * the final yield.

All receivers of hay have • been very firm in - their Ideas, with the consequence that prices have been well maintained. ..It is now generally conceded, however, . that the market can not be ..maintained under 'a continuation of such heavy arrivals,- so it is now generally reported that shipments have been ordered discontinued at: many points. : : : - "The • recent showers have ; also had a little tendency to discourage buyers, so although prices arc really no lower, yet at the present writing the market can be reported as rather.' easy. . \u25a0 . "The discussion as to the future of the market, owing to the apparent light stocks ! throughout the country, still ; continues. ' . Several operators are very strong In their Ideas as to the future of the situation, maintaining 1 that nothing can pre vent a raise of. from $3 to $5 per ton over the present range.

Anything fat met with' prompt sale, finding buyers almost aa fast as received. As on the preceding day, the mar ket was overloaded with small and thin birds, and dealers experienced considerable difficulty In moving them, being obliged in some Instances to take whatever buyers were willing to of fer.
