AND SD6AR THE WBAK SPOTS The Market Doll Owing to the Interest in Folitics. Great A BTKONG UNDERTONI PREVALENT Xew Tobk, Nov. a The approaching President! election was again the chief topio of discussion at the Stock Exchange and the market suffered in consequence. The transactions were small. Despite the dullness the undertone of speculation was strong and the changes, such as they were, were generally in the direction of higher prices. Among the usually active stocks Chicago Gas scored the greatest net ad vance, closing at 94j Sew England moved up i and Northern Pacific, St. Paul, Eock Island and Louisville and Nashville about i per cent each. Missouri Pacifio sold ofi a fraction. The specialties afforded a marked contrast to the uninteresting movements in the gen eral list. Consolidated Gas Jumped from 119J to 12$. Laclede Gas was higher on In creased earnings. The common rose 1J and the preferred 3. American Cotton Oil ad vanced over a point on the favorable char acter of the annual statement of the com pany. Pullman Palace Car, after opening two points lower a 197?i rose to 190. Ohio Southern sold ud 1. Delaware and Hudson dropped 2 per"ceut on small sales and American Sugar was also weak at a decline of 1 percent. The market generally left off Ann In tone. One reason for the effective support given to the leading shares was the non-advance in the Bank of England rate of discount, -which also led to more or less covering of short contracts. Kail road bonds were dull, the sales foot ins up only $511,000. Beading, Atchison and Texas Paclnc Issues were steady. Ohio Southern 4s rose 3, to 63, and New York, .Sus quehanna and Western General 5s 2, to 95. The gas stocks were the only ones which assumed any prominence. Consolidated Gas scored a b-.g rise, as it Is said that the company is going to move Its works over to Long Island, pipe the gas to New York and soil its valuable real estate In this city. Laclede also advanced in sympathy, and It is more than likely that some of the other gaB stocks In other cities will also be put higher. Ye are told that Baltimore gas is paying at present 4 per cent, and will also sell higher in the near future. J. S. Bache & Co. to Oakley 4 Co. The Improvements which were prodnoed In various portions of the list to-day were apparently due to coverlnc of shorts, the failure of the Bank of England to advance iti discount rate and a corresponding easing off in money at London being the ostensible cause of the movement.

Chicago, Nov. a With the receipts at primary points the smallest lor three months and the exports the largest during the same time, wheat to-day closed strong. Final figures, as compared with those of last evening, show a gain of ic Corn is unchanged to y,a higher. Provisions ad vanced 1020c The first feeling In wheat was one of -weakness. This was attributed to the fact that the local receipts exceeded the esti mate by about 90 cars, that deliveries In the Northwest were liberal, and the clearing weather was regarded as favorable for a further Increase of Interior deliveries. Early English cables were firmer, hut this did notjrevent a decided bear sentiment on the part of the local trade and there was pretty tree selling for a time, under which prices fell off with business dull. Later re ports from the seaboard showed a marked revival in the export demand, and the cleatinzs from the seaboard were reported at 915.000 bushels in wheat and flour. This caused an immediate change. The early sellers quickly started to get back what they had sold, and there was fair Invest ment buying, while the offerings became unusually lUbfc. The result was a steady .advance. The Cincinnati .Price Current re ported that wheat was still suffering from Uronght in large areas, and tbere was every reason to expect a steady falling off In in terior deliveries. Pardrldze was a trood hnver of Mr -a,y,ca t below 77f c, and was believed to have cov ered a considerable line. R. W.Dunham 4 Co. were said to be buying In short wheat for C A. Fillsbury, of Minneapolis, who has been here for two days superintending the operation The corn market again took a drop in the early trading similar to that of yesterday. This was due very largely to the sensational reports on the failure of Peeram & Brothers and the published statement that Chicago commission bouses were heavy losers. This made the trade nervous. The clearing weather, which it was argued would inorease receipts, and the early depression In wheat also had some effect. Provisions began to develop strength with wheat and com was quick to sympathize. A report from the Cincinnati Pne Cinrenf that according to reports the husklntcs continued to show dis appointment also helped the market. Oats fluctuated with corn and closed about steady. The provision market showed strength all day, chiefly on the smaller receipts of hogs than expected, higher prices at the yards and good buying by the late; clique In ribs and shorts generally.

PHILLIE WEAKENS A LITTLE Bnt Nearly Everything- Else Holes Steady at About Previous Prices. LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS Thursday, Nov. 3. The market for local securities is resting quietly in the shadow of the approaching election, though a little business is being transacted daily in a sort of a perfunctory manner which serves to keep the market from being relegated entirely to the back ground. The betting spirit is rife on 'Change and throughout the street, and while Harrison money meets one at almost every turn it is quite as difficult to place bets, owing to the scarcity of Democratic money, as it is to excite anything like real interest in stocks. The Republican contin gent, therefore, are more persistent and eager than they might otherwise be and ap pear to think it is all over but the shouting. The trading on 'Change to-dav was con fined to P., A.11I. traction, Philadelphia Company, Union Switch and Signal pre ferred, Pleasant Valley Railway, Luster Mining CompanyDuquesne traction. Citi zens' traction and United States Glass com mon, though in a majority of cases it was letail in character. The only noteworthy features were a slight weakening in Phila delphia Company, and a further recovery in Duquesnc traction and Airbrake, though that in the latter was more in the general sentiment than in the price. P., A. A M. traction sold at 44 to the ex tent of three shares and more could have been purchased at the same price. Phila delphia Company sold at 2222J4 and 22, closing at 21:2; Switch and Signal pre ferred sold at 38, closing at S839; one share of Pleasant Valley sold at 25X, the stock closing at 25Q25: Lustre sold at enclos ing at 8 usEed; Duquesne traction ad vanced to 28 sales, closing with 100 shares offered at the-&ame price: Citizens' traotion sold at 62J& closing at 62J6 and United States Glass common old at 67 and closed at 63 bid. la the remainder of the list quotations were practically unchanged. Lustre, Pitts burg traction and Electric seemed to be a little soft, however, und the closing bid on switch and Signal was below the highest of the day. Electric second pre I erred closed at 39 asked. Unlisted street railway securities closed as follows: Duqueine traction, 2S2SV; P., A. & M. traction, 43J44; do 5s, 102 bid; P. & B. traction, 23K24; do 5s, 102 ntked. Allegheny Valley Railroad 7-30s were quoted at 110 bid; Junction Railroad 6s at 117 bid; Citizens' traction 5s at 106 bid and Pittsburg traction 5s at 104 bid. Against Passes on Street Railways. In conversation with a Fourth avenue broker this afternoon on street railway mat ters, a gentleman well known in street rail way circles said: "lam thinking of having an injunction served on the President and Secretary of every street railway company In Allegheny county, restraining them from issuing any more passes over their lines and of tatting other legal steps necessary to break up the pass evil. The issuing of passes Iain dliect violation of the laws of the Commonwealth, and It is carried to an extent that is positive! out rageous. If those who now ride on passes, particularly over the North side lines, were compelled to pay their tare. the samo as other people, there would be an annual difference of thousands or dollai s in favor of every company in the two cities. I think it would be a charitable and righteous move." The gentleman was evidently in a Jocular mood, but he has plenty of time to engage in such a movement, and is popular ly supposed to be in his element when war ring (or or azalnsfstreet railway interests. Condition of the Treasury. The decrease of $SOO,000 In the Treasury net cash balance during the month of October, accompanied as it Is by an Increase ol nearly $5,000,000 in the net gold fund, makes a more favorable showing than was to have been expected in ylew of the lact that Interest payments of more than $5,000, 0C0 were made October 1. November 1 hav ing Doen reached with the surplus larger by $5,000,000 than at the beginning of the fiscal year and the gold fund $14,000,000 abovo the lowest point to which it fell during the summer, the Treasury has met the require ments or the autumn with unexpected ease and approaches the Culler winter season under more favorable conditions than had been deemed possible. It is a rather striking coincidence that the increase of revenue for the four months of the fiscal year has corresponded so closely with the increased expenditures; the receipts rising from $119,000,000 to $132, 000,000 as compared with last year, while the expenditures increased from $116,000,01)0 to $130,000,000. The inciease of revenues was quite as pronounced in October an during the preceding months, and they neie paid to a larger decree In United States notes and gold certificates and less In silver certifi cates and so called Tieasury notes. Treas ury conditions are fortunately such as to warrant no apprehension as to the ade quacy of the provision for current 1 equip ments, and to permit a postponement of legislation affecting the currency until the resujts of the International Monetary Con ference are made known.

POLITICS AND BUSINESS Do Not Mix Very Favorably for the Latter More Interest in the Approaching Elec tion Than in Trade Market Gossip and Current Quotations. Thursday, Nov. 3. Politics is the all-absorbing theme in mercantile -circles at the moment and the progress of the battle between the two great parties is being watched and discussed to the detriment of trade in all lines. The betting fever strffck the Grain and Flour Exchange to-day, and after the call a good many small wagers were recorded generally at evens on the general result. One bet, how ever, was that Cleveland would carry New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Indiana and that he would be elected, a small amount covering each proposition. It was eagerly taken. There is a firmer feeling on oats and hay, bnt wheat, corn, flour and leed contlnne weak. Apples are easier in the East, especially on ;nll fruit. Quotations In New York yes teiday were as follows: Baldwins, $1 50 2 2"; greenings, $1 502 25; kings, $2 603 0U; snows, $2 603 00; huubardstons, $2 002 75; uarvics, - wtai ou: porters, $1 auigu uu; gravensteins, $3 003 50; mixed varieties, 31 602 00. Butter and cheeso continue firm, the in. quiry for oholce goods showing a steady im provement. Eggs are somewhat firmer without being any higher and the poultry market is heavy under big supplies. Receipts or game are increasing, but the demand is not what it would be if the tem perature was lower. Sugar and coffee are fairly steady and raisins and kindred goods are higher. Prunes are comparatively scarce and In active demand. California prunes are about the only variety offering at present. The demand for nuts has fallen ofi mate rially and the market Is easier. They will be good stock, however, until after the win ter holidays. Grain, Flonr and Feed.

Flour In the Northw est. MnrazAroLis, Mirnr., Nov. 3. The North western Jfiller says: The mills improved on their outpnt of last week, grinding 225,000 barrels, or 37,000 barrels for each of the six days. This is once more the second largest run on record. In the previous week the output was 224,000 barrels; for the corre sponding time in 1891, 208,930 barrels, and in 18S0, 180,000 barrels. There Is so far little diminution in rate of mauufacture, though after this week a shortage or water power is liable to bring about curtailment. A few large domestic handlers In the East are re ported as showing a little more confidence in present prices of breadstuffs, and are buying more freely than heretofore to stock up. There are dif ferences of opin ioiuaiuong all of us. Ihere will be, so long as knowledge is in complete. But there is one subject upon which all author ities agree, and that is that the Carlsbad Mineral Waters are a specific remedy in all diseases of the stomach, liver and kidneys, for constipation, gout and rheumatism- If you cannot have the Waters conveniently use the genuine Carlsoad Sprudel Salts, which are the splid evaporations of the genuine Waters imported from Carlsbad. It is not a mere purgative; it is also an alterative apd a constitutional remedy of great value. Be sure to get the genuine, which must have the signa ture of "Eisner & Mendelsorv. Co.," Agents, N.

New York, Nov. 3. Speeiorj. A special to the Iron Age says: There has been a slight reaction In prices of warrants, Scotoh selling at 41s 3d, Cleveland at37s7d and hematite at 473 4d. The rise is attributed to operations of members of the trade who were lately on the "bear" covering a portion of their short sales. Outside speculation continues very slow. Trade demand is quiet, but at the last Cleveland makers' meeting buyers took hold rather more freely. There are now 76 Scotch furnaces iu blast. Stocks in warrant stores Include 353,000 tons Scotch and 13.000 tons Cleveland pU. Pig tin prices receded ubant 10s nnder the influence of more ample suDply and moder ate demand. London stocks now amount to 3,171 tons. Business in tin plate has slightly increased and prices have hard ened. The strength is dne chiefly to recent stoppage of mills which caused more eager ness on the part of dealers to place orders, but a better American demand has helped the market. A FIEMEK TONS And a Better Demand Are the Features of the Pig Iron Trade. New York Nov. 3. Special. The JronAg says: Quite an active demand and a firmer tone characterize the pig iron markets throughout the whole country, the only ground for apprehension being that idle plants may be induced to re sume. The steel rail manufacturers had a meeting in this city at which nearly every concern was repre sented. The situation was discussed with out leading to any immediate change. Tin plate is a shade higher as the result of or ders from the canning trade. New York Metal Market. New York, Nov. 3. Pig iron In fair fle-. mand; American, $13 0015 60.
