NEW YORK, Mny 14. Tl'.e list of securi ties dealt in on the stock exchange had a more thorough exploitation today thnn on any other occasion during the extended advance that has occurred. This was done by a process of rotation which passed from one quarter of the list to another, using the sustaining effect of advances In stocks which were newly bought to sell Mccka previously taken on and advanced The day's turn-over was, In consequence, larger than on any day since tho middle period of last year. The regularity and precision of the move ments disclosed the skilled operations of Frofesslonnls and speculative leaders. In act it was manifest in the stock exchange that many professionals who have deter minedly fought the advance In price through much of the latest stage and who have viewed the market with sus picion and distrust, had come over to tho long side of the tmirkrt snd were follow ing the obvious current for the trading. Some large orders In individual stocks executed by single brokerage firms were believed to represent buying of blocks by banking Interests for sustaining effect on the mnrket. London nlso turned buyer in this market for the first time In several days and relieved the situation from one of the forces with which the advocates of higher prices have had to contend. Im portant dlireatlon of profits was effected in the course of shifting of holdings from stock to stock and from group to group. Profit-taking waa notably heavy In the trenscontlnental group during the morn Irg, but It was cautiously pursued and not allowed to make heavy Inroads on prices. The market waa resilient on reactions and closed at the top with a renewed outburst of buvtng orders. Not much specific news was heard to explain tho most Important movements, but the action was taken to ex press satisfaction on the pHrt of the Im portant financial Interests with the pron pect for ultimate business revival and with the money and political conditions. Reports from the metal trades were more definite as to Improvement than from other quarters and this by reason of a natural process of falling prices and resultant attraction of renewed demand. Sellers of Iron have abandoned pretense of maintaining prices at previously agreed levels and more life, In consequense. Is reported In the demand for that metal. The condition In the cop per trado la analagous and more confluence Is expressed of Improvement from the present basis. ' Rumors of deals continued to play a part In the speculation, today's dealing with a supposed acquisition by the Reading of the control of Western Maryland. Alleged Rockefeller control of American Setting was another. The sale of notes by the northern railway was taken as additional warrant for confidence In the ability of railroads which have been hard pressed to obtain resources which will relieve them from Immediate embarrassments, although the terms of sale of these note Issues are admittedly onerous. The strong weekly return of the Bank of France and a fur ther decllno In the private discount rate at Paris showed tha ned for additional gold to be fully Involved. Yesterday's heavy gold engagements, together with the previous repayments of government de posits by the banks, have produced a withdrawal of only $S,9n6.000 cash from the banks by the eubtreasury thus far this week. Evidently Interior banks. In mak ing payments to the government drew less on their New York deposits than Is cus tomary. The broadening of the bond market wsii a feature of the day. Total sales par value of $4,264,000. United States bonds were unchanged on call. Following were the sales and ran ire nf prices on the Stock exchange today: Bales. High. uow. Clofls. Poorla Market.

Just how much lower it Is not easy to say for the reason that the market has been breaking every day since Monday. It would ba aafe. however, to quote the market today as much aa lu,a20c lower than Monday on the best grades ot cattle, handy light weights holding up the best. The commoner kinds, that Is, cattle on the half fat order are 26c and In some cases possibly as much aa 40c lower. The market closed mean. Tho best cows and heifers were' pretty good sellers, but the common to medium kinds of cows have been rapidly working lower. That kind was neglected ana naro to move from the beginning, with tne week and they are now 26&4CO lower than last week.

Puyers were out In very good season, but their orders were apparently very limited and they only Picked out here and there somethlntr that would Just suit them, while other stuff was neglected, making It a hard matter In many cases for salesmen to unload. Thus the market was a drag from start to finish, with prices at teast 10c lower and In some cases possibly more than that. Oood. shorn, light lambs sold ss hlnh as $R.f5. the same kind that brought $6.65 yesterday. Oood, heavy, shorn lambs sold around $9.00(66 10. As high as $6.00 was paid for rignt gooa, snorn wetners. Tne fact mat wethers sold as high as heavy lamha was one of the features of th trade snd ship pers will understand very readily from this that heavy lambs are not wanted nnd are selling at a big discount as compared with the light weights. On the other hand, the supply of sheep has been so light, es pecially at this point, that they are sell ing at relatively high prices as Compared with lambs.

Benefiting Kansas City at the expense of Omaha has evidently proved a favorite method of handling the traffic of the wast by the Rock Island-Frisco aystcma and the advantages given the southern rlty over Omaha have recently been broadened, In stead of reduced, according to shippers la close touch with the situation. The matter came up on the Memphis equalisation case and Omaha wss placed at a decided disadvantage without what the shippers consider a good resson. Much traffto has been withheld from the Rock Island company, but many shlppera have been of the opinion that the railroad com pany had taken the bars down and waa now giving Omaha a "square deal." All doubts as to the friendly attitude of the Rock Island-Frisco system are set at rest In a letter which was received by ship pers Thursday from Commissioner J. M. Guild of tho Commercial club and Secre tary E. J. McVann of the Omaha Grain exchange. Both officers acting under In structions of tho transportation committee ont the Information to members. No Change In Attltade. "A great many Inquiries have been re ceived by the club and by the exchange aa to the present relations between the com mercial Interests of Omaha and the Rock Island-Frisco systems," says the commu nication. "In order to answer effectively all these Inquiries and for the Information of auch of our members as have joined these or ganisations since the matter first came up, wo beg to advise you that there haa been no change whatever In the unfriendly atti tude of the Rock laland-FrlscO systems to ward the Omaha grain market On the contrary, since the Memphis equalisation, which was the basis for all the trouble, was first established the effect and appli cation of It have been broadened so a to benefit Kansas City still further at the expense of Omaha. "This question was fully discussed a few days ago by the transportation committees and the club and the exchange, and the conclusion was unanimously reached that If It la tho settled policy Of the Rock Island Frisco system to maintain Its unfriendly attitude toward this community, as that system haa done consistently for nearly two, years. It Is proper that that fact should be brought prominently to the notice of every business man In Omaha." Gratefal for Loyal Support. The letter thanks the business men for the loyal support which they have given the transportation committees In their effort to obtain Justice and fair treatment for Omaha. Though a great deal of grain has; been withheld from shipment Over the Rock Island by the grain dealers of Omaha the exact amount of shipments which the com pany is securing la not known. . Repeated efforts to secure grain out of Omaha have been, made by the Rock Island and during the last year many waya have been tried for getting the business regard less of the unfair treatment which the cor poration Is giving Omaha. . Now and then the grain dealers are said to have discovered tha,t some, of the buyers on the Omaha market were buying the grain for the purpose of shipping over the Rock Island system. It is said on good authority that no less than half a dosen agents have been employed to buy the grain for the company that they might secure the traffic, but on tho beat Information ob tainable at the exchange, only a email de gree of success haa rewarded the efforts of the company to secure shipments. Secretary B. J. McVann has refused to make any statement In regard to the ship ments secured or how any of the. grain trafflo was diverted to the Rock Island, but subscribes to the Utter telling of the true conditions existing. 21.406 80,458 22,823 Metel Market.
