Sterling- exchange was easy, with actual business in bankers’ bills at $4.85%®4.56 for demand, and at $4,831*4.83% for sixty days; posted rates, $4.84 and $4.87; commercial bills, $4.82%® 4.82%. Bilver certificates, bar silver, •Vic; Mexican dollar*, 4S%c. At London bar silver closed steady at 27%(1 an ounce. Total sales of stocks were 210,100 shares, including: Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, 18,077; Louisville & Nashville, 5,950; Manhattan, 10,590; New Jersey Central, 3,201; Missouri Pacific, 6,840; New York Central, 5,340; Rock Island, 16,115; Denver second preferred, 3,625; St. Paul, 14,592; People’s Gas, 12,995; Sugar, 56,225. The principal factors in yesterday’s stock market were the statements of the earnings in October of two of the great railroad systems of tho country—Pennsylvania and Burlington. Both statements made a remarkably strong showing, but that of Burlington had been discounted by a more active speculation and the rumors which have preceded the publications for some time past have grossly exaggerated the proportions of the increase. Asa consequence there was some disappointment in speculative circles over the Burlington statement, and some profit taking, which imparted a heavy tone to the whole of the granger group until late in the day. In the final hour prices of the group showed in the strength of tho general market, Rock Island leading with a net advance of 1%, on reports that the company’s refunding scheme had been perfected and the sale of the first block cf new 4 per cent, bonds was concluded. The October statement of the Pennsylvania rystem, with its increase in gross earnings of $900,000, and in net of $453,100 was regarded as strongly favorable and as reflecting a large general improvement in business. The stock of the Pennsylvania Railroad rose 2% under its influence, and ail of the trunk lines showed a marked degree of strength, New York Central. Lake Shore and Canada Southern rising from 1 to 2 points. Although the Burlington statement, compared with a very strong month last year, and with one less business day in the month than last year, and altogether both the gross and net earnings fell slightly below those of September of this year, the falling off from the record month of September was small. There was a very marked increase in the operating expenses both for the Burlington and the Pennsylvania, amounting to $440,330 in the case of the former and $281,600 in the case of the latter, reflecting the arrearages of outlay for maintenance which exist in railroad property ail over the country. The Erie and Lehigh Valley also had very favorable statements for October, but in both cases heavy increases in operating expenses absorbed a large proportion of the increase in gross earnings. Speculation in Sugar was again very active all day and the stock rose strongly, closing 2%c higher than on Monday night. The approach of the regular dividend period and expectation of a favorable decision by the Treasury Department on the question of countervailing duties on imported sugars were the causes. Northwest and Omaha show net gains equaling a point. Consolidated Gas is Pis higher on the day. New Jersey Central gained 1%. Otherwise gains in active stocks are confined to fractions. There is a fair sprinkling of small losses throughout the list. Sales of silver certificates for the exchange of 11,000 ounces at from 594 c to 59%c were a feature of the day. Bar silver sold in the market at 59%c, a price which had not been equaled since July 22. Bullion dealers have no other explanation to offer to the strength of silver nut the existence of active demand and a limited supply. , The bond market showed some activity and strength in high-grade issues, being very firmly held. Total sales, $1,885,000. United States old fours, registerad, advanced V* bid. , The following table, prepared by L. W.

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE. A Month of Satisfactory Trade in Most Line*, and Steady Price*. The trade of the month of November with a majority of the wholesale merchants and on comminution row reached expectations and was outte satisfactory in Us volume. Wholesale grocers, confectioners, druggists, leather dealers, hardware merchants, dealers In crockery and glassware, iron merchants, dealers in tinner#’ sup-

piles, all nad a very good trade and got good prices. Dry goods houses, boot and shoe merchants and hat and cap dealers had a very fair trade, but the mild weather in the early part of i the month curtailed their trade more or less. On ; Commission row the older of the commission merchants had a very satisfactory business and much better prices were realized than in October. Produce men had a busy month, handling more poultry and eggs than usual in November. The ! provision market was more active than during ! October, but prices realized were not quite as I satisfactory. Taken In the aggregate, the wholesale merchants and commission men have little ground for complaint. The local grain market the earlier part of the month was quiet, but Improved the last ten days on increasing receipts.

A SCRAMBLE BY SHORTS ♦— HELPED MAINTAIN A STIFF WHEAT MARKET AT CHICAGO. - ♦ Enormous Atlantic Port Clearances Responsible for Starting the Advance, \ ♦ CHICAGO, Nov. 30.—Wheat rallied sharply to-day on the enormous an- y’s clearances and closed steady at an advance of for May. December was apparently held down and showed only 14c advance at the close. Weak cables and a larger visible increase were bearish factors. Other markets were dull, but firm at the close. Corn was unchanged, oats higher and provisions about 2%jC higher. Wheat started heavy and was on the down grade for an hour and a half. May, which closed yesterday at opened to-day at 90%(&90V^c. Enough buying was started at the slight decline to advance the price temporarily to So%c, but it soon got down again to 90%c. December was even weaker, opening 4c lower at 95%c, selling at 96c, then declining to 95%c. Weakness at Liverpool with an opening decline of %and, was perhaps the main reason for the decline. Northwestern receipts, while heavy, and, compared with those on the corresponding day of the year before, enormously so, yet compared with movements a week ago were considerably smaller and indicative of the commencement of their permanent radical decrease. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 1,043 cars, against 1,306 last week, and 316 the year before. Chicago receipts were 274, against only tS ears last year. The export clearances from Atlantic ports proved so conspicuously heavy that they drove out of mind the bearish features that had been the guiding motives on the decline and caused a speedy reversal of the previous course of prices. The day’s exports of wheat were 737,460 bushels and of flour 88,199 barrels, the total being equal to 1,135,000 bushels, breaking all previous records for one day’s exports from the Atlantic seaboard, it was said. Quite a scramble by shorts took place after the posting of these figures, which resulted In sending the price of May up to 91%@91%c and December to 96%c. The advance was well maintained until Bradstreet reported that the world’s visible had increased 5,000,000 bushels last week, 1,100,000 bushels of which increase was on this side, and 3,900.000 bushels of it in and afloat for Europe. That temporarily shook the firmness, and the price of May receded to 90%c. The shorts had, however, been so severely jolted by the rtee to 91%@91%c that they were rendered timid by this time, and it took only a show of buying to rush the price once more to 91%c. The primary market receipts were three times heavier than on the corresponding day of the year before, the total amounting to 1,103,000 bushels to-day, against only 383,000 bushels a year ago, but the bulk of the day’s receipts was at Minneapolis and Duluth. The contract stock at Chicago increased 530,009 bushels for the week, making the total 2,530,000 bushels. The market toward the close was quet, but firm. May winding up at 91%c. December, however, was not quite so bouyant, closing at 95%c. Corn took its cue from wheat, starting weak and declining as long as wheat did, and when the latter market changed from weakness to strength, corn did the same. The day’s movement of corn favored holders, but this fact was disregarded until wheat rallied. The principal part of the day’s trading was changing December deals over to May, though there was some liquidation of December without any repurchasing of May. Price changes were very narrow. Receipts were 641,000 bushels, much beiow estimates. Atlantic clearances w'ere 695.000 bushels. May ranged from 29%029%c to 29c and closed unchanged at 29%c. There was very little to the oats market except changing at 1%®1%C spread. Longs sold December and there was moderate commission house buying of May, which made that delivery relatively firmer than the nearer one. The action of wheat had some influence. Receipts were pos f ed at 567 cars. Seaboard clearances were 783,000 bushels. May ranged from 22%c to 21%c, closing Vs@%e higher at 22%c. With the exception of a short time after the opening provisions were firm. Heavy receipts of hogs here and at Western points caused some hesitation early. John Cudahy was a good buyer through brokers, presumably covering short lines and this buying was responsible for the slight advances in January products which marked the close. December products were easier, resulting in a slight widening of the spread. At the close January pork was 2%c higher at $8.20. January lard was a shade higher at $4.22%@4.25, and January ribs 2%c higher at $4.20. Estimated receipts for Wednesday— Wheat, 126 cars; corn 302 cars; oats, 243 cars: hogs. 40,000 head.

Dry Goods. NEW YORK. Nov. 30.—There is no material change in the market for dry g<x>ds. the de mand Ing limited to the lack of store trading and the very slack mail orders even for Tuesday. The weakening tendency of the market is illustrated in the reduction made by the makers of American indigoes. Calcuttas and allied linens with no evident strength shown In cotton lines either in starles or colored, and a continued stationary market in all lines of vroolen textile fabrics. The situation in knit goods is said to be slightly improved, with bids from buyers for next year at slightly advanced prices over those now prevailing, but these are not accepted by sellers with any degree of alacrity, as they believe that last year’s prices will be far in excess of those ouoted at present. Jobbers report a dull trade of hand-to-mouth variety, both locally and through mail orders. The demand with consumers throughout the country is said to be light and without feature. Unfavorable weather conditions ar- ‘>e principal cause of thi3. but other reasons given are local in character and fail to explain the situation with any degree of clearness In staple cottons the market is very weak. Print cloths show no increase in the bidding. Oils. OIL CITY.
