For this reHon it may be noted that so much resistance has befn shown to tho present advance, and In many quarters the belief Is now strongly held that prevailing ^levels arc merely tempora ry, reflecting n momentarily demand In excess of current supplle*. What ever tho ultimate result may prove the actual strength of the situation has been materially aided by the In- tluence of unfavorable weather over »h« belt and undoubtedly the presence of-sufficient moisture to further check the movement would naturally confirm opinions as to higher levels, and at th* saino time ’ reduce considerably the Dirge crop Ideas now existing. New York, Nov. 17—We aro prepar. ed for a higher stock market, mainly becuuso we appear to be on the eve of a greater realisation of the benefits arising from fundamental * conditions, particularly In the return to the money centers of tho proceeds of the great crops. Local banks are already fol lowing the Influx, of tnoney from the Interior In the loan market, tempted by high money rates. Wo expect this to continue, but apart from all this there Is a manifest disposition among the larger controlling Interests, not only to continue a larger distribution of earnings, and Increase of wage scales, but also to bring to a culmination plans long under discussion for the greater unification of vast railway sys tems. The way appears clear to us for an upward price movement In the security list. SEABOARD AIR LINE. Edited by Joseph B.
