| WEEK'S SALES j
NEW dOR'K, Nov. 23.—Today's busi-
ness at tin; stock. exchange was tho
smallest for any day since the election.
The total of 732,400 shares the only daily
total below a million shares that lias oc-
curred for a full day in that period. This
subsidence of the speculative furor
awakens some regret in many elements
clostiy adjacent to the stock exchange,
but in the larger financial circle of tho
satisfaction with the slowing down on
a speculative pace which it was feared
would prove perilous and involve ulterior
consequences that would be detrimental
to the march of industrial and' commer-
cial progress of the country. This fear
lias found open expression in the past
few days from many influential bank-
ing qu.liters. The closed interval since
Saturday joemed to have been t^ken
advantage of to disseminate this view
through the, country. The wisdom of
regulating the pulse of ithe recovery
and of keeping down leverish symptoms
was enforced from Various sources.
There i a tone . )' (lep cation of an\
attempt at a sudden and violent boom
in business. There were warnings given
also of unwarranted assumption of the
progress already achieved in the recov-
ery and of the wiping out of possible
obstacles to be encountered. In par-
ticular there is a realization 'hat Un-
assembling of congress and the s'ate
legislatures may gring some forces into
action that will chill speculative enthu-
Fiasm. It is supposed that this may fol-
low from the too exuberant views that
speculators have professed of the extent
* to wheh anti-corporation sentiment in
the country has been nppensed. The tak-
ing up Of the tariff schedule* In the prac-
tical work of a revision of rates of
duly must be taken account of for
some disturbing effect, which the specu-
lation has been inclined to Ignore for .1
time. The stock market had clear in-
timations last week of the nature of
the magazine article written hv Andrew
Carnegie leaning to a tariff for'revenue
only and advocating ^the abolition of du-
ties on steel, but the publication of elab-
orate extracts of the article was • not
without additional effect. There Inilu- ,
ences were preccptlhlc In the constraint
on the advance in prices of stocks today
rather than in any positive depression.
Discounts hardened In Ixmdon and Paris,
while time money rates were lower here,
demand for loans decreasing and supplies
offerings showing some accumulation.
Paris again took gold In London at an
advance In the price. The large de-
ma r.d and good price for the offering of
New York City 4 per cent corporate
stock was significant of the appetite of
capital for high class investment and the
-1} per "cent bonds sold last year rose
above any previous price they have cam-
handed. Another reduction In q iotnitons
for copper at the New T >rl; Metal Ex-
change was a factor In the restraint
011 speculation perceptible in the day's
market.
I* lids were irregular. Total sales par
value $5,072,000.
United States bonds were unchanged
011 cali.

Futures opened steady to a decline,
prion showing a loss of 6 to 7 points
under manipulative pressure induced by
favora'oie cables. First prices, however,
were the lowest of the day, shorts show-
ing too great an eagerness to buy at
the lower levels. Under this and with a
total lack of other features prices rose
Siji'll paints, landing the active months
2 to 4 points 'higher than last week's
closing. Bulls made no effort to follow
up their advantage and at the top the
market became garely steady w'ith a
tendency to sag. At the close the mar-
ket was steady and prices showed an
advance of 1 to 5 points.

NEW ^ ORK, Nov. 23.—The cotton
market w.is nervous and irregular today
with trading rather less active with the
close 5 points lower to 8 points higher.
S.iles were estimated at 250,000 bales.
The market opened steady at a decline
of l@fi points on th more active months
in response to lower cables tlian expect-
ed and liquidation by near month shorts
who were evidently alarmed by reports
that cotton would be brought hero
profitably for delivery on contracts. July
and October opened unchanged In the
absence of Important offerings but after
the opening the general market acted
quite unsetaled and January was par-
ticularly weak, selling off to a net" loss
o f.S points under local bear pressure and
liquidation by ongs. There was a good
demand at the decline, especially for the
latter months from Wall street and other
outside sources. December maintained
it3 premium and while there seemed to
be no fresh bullish development in the
gneral nws, the market became decidedly
flrmr during the afternoon with March,
Mnj and January making new high re-
cords .or the season and the general
list showing a net advance of 2^9 points.
