NEW YORK , Nov. IG.-Apparontly tin
watchers who liavo been waiting for thi
reaction in the market to buy stocks main
up their minds that this morning's decllni
was the most that could be looked for un
der the circumstances and they according ! ]
came into the market , In great force urn
before the end of the day had wiped , ou
the earliest losses almost entirely and cs
tabllshcd a higher runco of values that
yesterday throughout. Although net gain !
are In nearly all cases confined to frac
tions , the extreme rise from the low It
the majority of active stocks amounted U
1 per cent or over and the close was actlvi
and strong ut the top. Morning losse ;
were not made without resistance , notablj
Atchlson preferred and Union Pacific. Chi
cngo & Northwestern and Omaha aim
showed strength before the break , but tin
heavy offerings of Northern Pacific stock !
proved too heavy a burden , especially ai
London continued disposed to realize It
the International securities. The Northeri
Paclllcs fell over a point below last nigh
and the whole list receded below las
night's level. There was some stop losi
orders uncovered on the way down , bu
orders In commission houses to buy wen
encountered In an Increasing amount am
the sharp advance In the Northwester ;
stocks and Omaha , ranging from li to 3- %
turned the whole market upward. The nd
vance for the rest of the day was not nn
tlrely uninterrupted , but the marke (
strength of International Paper , Sugar , Pa
cine Mail. Baltimore & Ohio and a fev
other stocks and the enormous demand foi
'Atchlson preferred kept the bull spirit It
the ascendancy and encouraged operation !
on the short side. The selling for Londot
account also changed to a buying clemani
at the lower level. These were for the
most part simply arbitrage operation !
based on the disparity between Londoi
and New York prices. The session of thi
Paris peace conference and the fixing of i
date for a future meeting afforded semi
relief from apprehensions of a rupturi
which have prevailed in London. The fac
of the Berlin bourse being closed served t (
check recent large selling of American ie
curltles which have come from that quarter
tor on account of money stringency. It
the local money market , although sterllni
exchange held steady and New York ex
change at Chicago fell to par , while thi
currency movement on balance contlnue <
away from New York , the rate for cal
money eastd off a fraction toward thi
close of the day and the demand for timi
money was less active. There are evidence !
of decreased anxiety over the effect of thi
Berlin money situation In other llnancla
centers. There was a. falling oft In actlvlt ;
in. the bond market and heaviness in semi
cases in sympathy with stocks , thougl
the tone Improved before the close. Tola
sales , $4,375.000. United States new 4s
coupon , declined 1-8 in the bid price.
The Evening Post's London financial ca
blegram says : Mr. Chamberlain's speed
at Manchester yesterday checked buslnesi
In the stock markets here today and thi

Speculation t Slow With Price

NEW YORK , Nov. ' 1C. Speculation In col

tuatlons usually narrow , with a gencrc
tendency downward. For a time around th
opening trading was jnodcrately active , bti
with the exception of early orders and ever
Ing up of accounts by some of the less cor
ildent room operators , business dwindle
down to a scattered scalping trade. Unde
bearish reports from the Liverpool futur
market , indicating that the crop movemen
for the day would bo a heavy one , und
spurt of selling ( chiefly foreign ) prices wen
off 1 to 2 points on the first call nnd subsc
fluently 2 to 3 points further. The declln
was then arrested by the appearance o
limited buying orders , and for the rest o
the day the scopd of fluctuations was enl
a matter of 2 points. Notwithstanding th
successes of yesterday and lower level re
ported today even the more stalwart bear
hesitated to pound tlu market , the restrain

CATTLE Receipts of cattle were a llttl
larger than yesterday , and about the sam
as on Wednesday of last week. A largi
proportion of the receipts consisted of kill
ers , with only a moderate sprinkling o
feeding and stock cattle.
The market on all kinds of killing cattl
was fairly active and fully steady , so tha
the yards were cleared In good season
That was true of cornfed steers as well a :
cows , heifers and rough stock. Buyer
representing local packing houses all ap
penred to have liberal orders , and then
were none too many cattle here to till thi
requirements. Cornfed. steers sold Inrgclj
at $4.55 4.80. the bulk of the offerings belnj
of the quality to fall within that range
Ihero were , however , some cattle gooc
enough to bring $1.90 5.00 , but there win
nothing to compare with the $5.20 cattle o
yesterday. Cow stuff sold the same at
yesterday , that Is , nil the way from $2.5 <
to $3.50 , according to quality.
The fresh receipts of stackers and feed
era WHS not so very largo today , but then
were qulto a good many cuttle in the handi
of speculators , so that the total suppU
was quite liberal after all. Yesterdaj
speculators experienced a light country tie
mand , and again this morning there die
not appear to be many outside buyers It
the yards. Accordingly , speculative buylnt
was of a very cautious character , nnd thi
market was not only slow but lower from
the luck of a good buying demand. Hold
crs found It very difficult in unloading
especially if the cattle were not partlculatb
desirable. It was almost Impossible to gel
a buyer to look at common cattle. Th (
result was that it was very late- before
anything like a clearance was effected. II
would appear that the reports of the stlfl
advance in the market sent out into th <
country has discouraged buyers from com
ing in at u time when the country demanc
was none too brisk at the best , and thai
the market is in consequence experiencing
a natural reaction. Representative Bales :

HOGS There was a fair run of hogs for a
Wednesday and about the sams number ns
n. week ago. Of the number lure , how
ever , fourteen double decks , or 2,200 hogs ,
were consigned to a packer from Konnas
City. The inarkH opened uctlve and fully
steady , buyers evidently wanting the hogs.
and everything offered was sold In good
Reason. As was the case yesterday , the
long string of good loads of all weights
brought $3.35. Quito a few loads of packIng -
Ing hogs sold at $3 K'.i , with uomo rough
loads at $3.30. A fw choice loads , both
light and heavy , sold at 13.37H and some
choice heavy at $3.40. As will bo noted
from the table of average prices above , the
market la now Just about lOc lower than
on Wednesday of last we k.
A comparison with other markets will
show that the market hero Is very high.
Yesterday large droves ot several thousand
hogs cost $3.41 In Chicago. $3.32 In Ht.
Joseph. $3.30 In KancaH City and right
around $3.23 in Sioux City. The bunch of
* , 00 light assorted hogi , us line as any one

up hero from Kansas City , cost In tha
market $3.30. With light and heavy packer
selling In Chicago at right around $3.4
and at South Omaha at $3.32 513.35 It wl !
bo readily teen that this Is the better mar
ket for all shippers within reach of thi
point , und It Is also plain that It is the bes
market on the river. At the same time th
receipts of hogs arc far from large. Thi
Is accounted for by the fact that this I
the season when farmers are expected to b
busy In their cornfields. According to th
best Information there are no hogs gotni
forward to other markets from this terrl

SHEEP There was a pretty fair run of
sheep hero today , the number of cars re
ported In the yards being about the same
as on Monday and larger than on last
Wednesday. Of the sheep hero a consider
able proportion consisted of feeders , the
number of killers on sale not being so very
largo.
Other markets reported a' break In values
on mutton grades * but owing to the very
good demand and moderate offerings the
trade at this point opened active and fully
steady. Mexican yearlings , which have
been selling for some little time back at
$4.45 and $4,55 , brought $4.45 today. Good
western wethers brought $1.25 , which was
fully steady. As an example of what really
cholco stuff will bring , some fancy natlvo
lambs sold at $5.75 , ewes out of the same lot
nt $4.25 nnd wethers at $4.75.
Th3 market on stackers and feeders was
In a condition far from satisfactory to the
sellers. A good many of the offerings con
sisted of old ewes and for that kind there
did not seem to be any demand to speak of.
Even on pretty fair stuff the trade was
slow and sellers found It hard work to un-
Icnd holdings. The market closed mean on
all kinds.

NEW YORK , Nov. 18. The United State *
ug Wampatuck has sailed for Newport.
mder orders to tow the disabled cruiser
Juffalo to the Brooklyn navy yard. An officer
> f the yard inferred from the action of the
lepartmcnt that the ship was Injured et
ernally. He thought , and several other
ifllcers agreed with him. that something
vas the matter with the sea valves. Ho
; xp1atncd that the vessel , if InjuVcd Intor-
lally , would probably be towed to the Bos
on navy yard and repaired there. The
'act that it is to be taken to the Brooklyn
iavy yard was considered as evidence that
t was to be dry docked. When the Buffalo
lallcd it was lying very low in the water. U
junkers were full of coal and a largo quan-
ity of stores for Admiral Dewoy'g squadron.

rable discussion Plttsburg was selected ,

ity and because U is expected a monument

The convention will bo held from August 2
