THE GEXEEAL MARKET NARROW, But the Tealinf Generally Were Charac terized by Firmness. RAILEOAD BONDS QOIET BUT STRONG Hew York, Nov. 4. The transactions to-day at the Stock Exchange were light. Bets on the election were numerous, and they diverted the attention of brokers and others from speculation, the only stocks which made even an approach to activity being Chicago Gas and Distilling and Cattle Feeding. Chicago Gas was strong from start to finish, closing at the highest point. Distilling and Cattle Feeding was heavy for a time, selling down to 65, but it rallied to 66 and left o2 at G5, a net decline of only per cent. The general market moved within a very narrow range, say 4 per cent Dealings, however, were char acterized by a firm tone.and final quotations for souio shares were a small traction above last night's figures. The market closed dull and fiim. The railway and miscellaneous bond mar ket wa9 quiet, the sales amounting to only $S7iOC0. l'rices generally -were firm. Con sumers' Gas (of Chicago) first rose 2 to 9L Tlio leading issues, such as tho Headings, Atchison, Kansas and Texas and Texas Pacifies, wero dull. Speculation, such as it was, says J. S. B-iclie & Co., was centered in whisky and Chicago Gas, and tho rest of tlio list was practically neglected. Whisky was ham mered mote or les all day. but still tho pool pave tho stock good support. An average of two uoints in Gas was recorded, and the bulls talk par lor it within a couple of eeks. This stock lias had such a tre mendous advance that we think it about time to take profits on it. Tho market is waiting wearily until the election is out ot the way and speculation can once more havo a iree course. To-day lias been as unpioductivo of any leil inter est as its pi odeccssors, the only feature be ing the upward move in Chicago Gas, which s accounted for by minors or an incto.iso In the dividend rates. Distillers was also the object of u little attention, declining in tho morning and then rallying, though whether its action hat anything to do w itn the manipulation or Chicago Gaa is an open question. A story was heard that the 1'ar sons paity and tho Keadiug interests havo come to an understanding in legaid to New England. This, however, lacked confirma tion and had. at any rate, no effect. Money was easier and eschance was less firm, w hich last lact i believed to have a bearing upon tho action of the loan market. From feproul & Co.'s maiket letter. Government bonds were dull.

Liveliness followed by stupidity characterized to day's markets. Compared with last "night wheat and corn re ic off and pork and lard "Kc up. Oats and ribs ate about unchanged. Initial transactions in wheat wero at the full closing figures of last night with every appearance of strength. The market was quickly weakened on liberal lecelpts in the Northwest and a perfect flood of oficune. Pardrldge apparently had biokers all over tho pit selling and Xcw York and St. Louis also had liberal selling orders on the market. Advices reported an improved feeling lator in 2s'ew York and the strength in Liverpool being confirmed the market began to react. The early sellers having been pretty well bailed out, the market soon recovered all the early loss and held steady and firm for a considerable time, but turned weak during the last hour on the absence of any additional bull news and on selling. In the gossip that took the place of trade, it n hs pointed out that there lias not been a November in 27 years in which wheat has sold as low as it did yester day c for cash. The nearest appi oach to it was on November 10, 18S4, when cash wheat sold at 70c The lowest May wheat sold on that day was 0c Attention was also given the fact that the Price Current wheat review argued that too much im portance is given the large visible supply figures and not enough calculation made on the inrerlor quality of a largo part of the crop; that instead ot 65c wheat the country U likely to see 75c and an advancing market. Another matter of discussion was, although It rained In Chicago, the weather West was dry and, cool with temperatures near the Heeling point. A dispatch from Minne apolis to a commission firm here said, with good roads heavy receipts would contlnne lor four weeks yet. Corn was firmer at the start on the wet weather, but the selling was very free and the maiket eised off. A olight relapse in oats near the close was caused by the down turn in corn.' Hog products were all higher, pork show ing the more strength. Tho receipts of hoirs were smaller than expected, and prices at the yards S!0c higher. The arrivals of live hogs yesterday were 11,000 les than ex pected, and to-day they were 4,000 less and only 13,000 expected for to-morrow.

A GAIN IN AIRBRAKE, One in Switch and Signal and One in Lustre Mining Company. PHILLIE A FRACTION LOWER, And Dnqnesne Traction Steadj and in De mand at a Hight Loss. LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS Friday, Nov. 4. In the coarse ot a special market letter to a local house, the financial writer of a Hew York firm says: "Betting engrossed the at tention of the brokers more than business, and ia likely to remain so until the result of the election is known. The bull leaders promise a lively market in case of Mr. Harrison's election, and think that the election of Mr. Cleveland would .not mate rially reduce the success of their plans. The only severe setback that this market might receive wotild be in case the result would not be known on Wednesday and the same should have to be given over to the House of Kepresentatives to settle." To a certain extent these remarks were applicable to the local situation. More attention was paid to betting than to business to-day on 'Change up until the last board, when there was sufficient trading to bring the day's transactions up to a fair total.

The Ensincss in .'oft Steel Billets I'ore 1 ban 30,000 lons. GEAT FORGE STEADY AXD UNCHANGED Friday, Koy. 4. The tone of the raw iron and steel market is steadily gaining strength, and the im pression is becoming stronger that higher prices for raw material and finished prod uct are not far 00. Unless all indications fail nixt year's prices will certainly show a, very material advance. The inquiry for both iron and steel is steadily increasing, and most of the pip iron makers have al ready begun to consider the advisability of revising quotations. As it is, long time contracts at present prices are not Iesirable and few makers are willing to make sales for later delivery than December. Raw iron and steel are relatively lower in Pitts burg than at any other point. It is not to be supposed that this condition of affairs can hold out much longer; the increased demand will be certain to force prices upward. The demand for soft steel blooms and billets is very active; in deed, the demand lor spot or early deliv eries is so pressing that all the mills are now running to their full capacity. The fact is, steel is fast crowding iron Irom the market; it is said to be cheaper, besides havlmr many other advantages over Iron. The advance in steel noted last week has been fully main tain oil. Affairs in the Valleys. The situation in the Mahoning and Shen ango Valleys Is reported very healthy. A short time ago n sale of 10.000 tons Bessemer occurred at a valioy furnace at $13 10 for future deliver-; this would be equal to $13 70 delivered at Pittsburg. The present week a similar sale occurred ut $13 65, which would be equal to $11 25 delivered here. These sales 'airly represent the condition of tho market at the time noted. While the ad vantage thus sonms to be with the seller, theie is no anxiety lelt by the buyers who think that any advance will be small and that an Increasing capacity will easily supply the matkets' needs. Some of the Southern makers hnvu been able to obtain 25 cents more for their iron than betore. and this ad vance has become firmly established. An Opinion From the East. An Eastern dealer says of the sitnation: "Soft steel billets aro strong and scarce; the demand in excess of the supply, find prices relatively higher. Most other specialties remain at about last week's prices. The general opinion in the trade seems to be that the uncertainty will continue until alter tho Picsidontul election, nnd then either a decidedly active or a proionudlv dull maiket will ensue. Pig iromis firm and in some directions is gradually working to ward a higher level." Sales and the Closing Temper. The sales foot up oyer 100,000 tons, the largest for a long time. Resides tho?e pub lished we hearufnsaleof 9,100 tons llessetuer, the exact terms of which are withheld. Bes semer closed firm at $14 CO cash, with large sales for various deliveries, and some deal ers disposed to hold their lion for higher piices. Gray forge is in steady demand, soft steel billets are very firm, with large sales; spot firm, ut the highest prices le ported for some time. Mills at most points are running to their fnll capacity. A new steel plant started at New Castle, Pa., this Beek an dis lunniug very successlully. Reports irom the Mahoning nnd Shenango Valleys coutinno favorable lor makers; sov eial large opetatlons are reported at good flgutes; spot steel very scarce.
