able part of the business in the Stock Ex-
change yesterday consisted of betting,
but as such transactions are not allowed
on the floor Of the Exchange, according
to its rules they were not very openly con-
Quoted, and of course no official record
Of all the bets was obtainable. Trust
worthy accounts indicate that at least
100000 was wagered. As a rule the
brokers denied that they were betting for
themselves, and the general impression
was that they were truthful in saying so,
and that the bulk Of the money put up on
the Blaine side was that of
JAY GOULD
and Deacon White, Of Plymouth Church,
while that yentured on Cleveland came
from Messrs. Cammack and Woerishof-
fer, principally the latter. On the gen.
eral result the betting was generally on
the basis Of 500 10 $50 in favor Of Blaine.
The Republicans began TO bet even mon
ey that Blaine would carry New York
State, and they put up large sums under
those terms. Later there was betting at
the rate of 81, 900 on Cleveland to 5000 on
Blaine for New York. w. T.. Common,
who is known as Gould's right-hand man,
appeared or the Stock Exchange in
the morning and bet about Sl3, 900, which
was quickly covered by Democratic MEN,
bers. Coils, OF Coils & Levy, wagered
$1,000 even that Blaine would carry this
State, and he, too, was at once accOmmo-
dated. J. 4. Mead, the Broadway banker,
made bet that Cleveland would carry
New York State, and accepted the $4,000
OF a Republican member who asked no
odds At the Aston, Fifth Avenue and the
Hoffman House Cleveland was the favor
Ito in bets on the State election, but
BLAINE LED IN BETS
on the general result In the evening
the Hoffman House corridors were
crowded. Plunger Walton wanted to
bet $500 TO 81 900 on Blaine's carry
ing this State, or offered to bet it four
times, or $4,000 to $4,000. A stranger
In the crowd said he would put
up 81, 900 10 5000 on Cleveland
carrying the State, but Walton did not
take it. Sheridan Shook and Mr.. Wise
have a bet of $1,000 TO $4,000 that
Cleveland will carry the State by
100, 900 plurality. A wager of 5000 to
800 that Blaine would win was made
at the Fifth Avenue Hotel. An offer
at the Hoffman House of 500 to $50
that Cleveland would carry the State
was not taken. Favorable reports in
the shape of kilograms from Indiana and
Connecticut arrived about ten O'Clock and
sent Cleveland stock up, and for half an
hour the betting was even in small sums
that the Democratic candidate would
carry the general election. In Twenty
eighth street the betting was fast and
furious. The crowds were so great at
Cridge's and at Kelly & Bliss place that
locomotion was difficult. A bet was made
that Blaine would carry more Southern
States than Cleveland would carry North
ern States, The betting fuctuates from
800 TO $50 TO 500 TO $40 and 500 to
$50 on Cleveland carrying the State, and
stood about two to one on Blaine on the
general result,
GIT MEANS NOTHING"
said q well-known member OF the Stock
Exchange, "except that where the most
money is there are odds every time. The
Republicans have put out a lot of ready
cash TO affect the election If possible, and
they are willing to throw it away II neces-
sary to sustain the bluff. 1t closed with
Blaine the favorite last night, but by
three O'Clock Tuesday afternoon the bet
ting will be 500 10 $50 In favor of Cleve-
land.
There was much betting on Wall street
to-day on the result. The terms were
about 500 to go ON Cleveland car
rying the State, and about the same
odds the other way on the general result,
Joseph M. George made one bet of 81 900
to $4,000 with John Klrkner that Cleve-
land will carry New York. George has
bet about 100000 altogether on this
State. II IL reported than Van Emburgh,
Schenck & Isaac made bet of $4,000
even with Bateman that Cleveland will
have a plurality over Blaine in New York
State. Another bet of $4,000 TO 81, 200
that Blaine will be elected, and another
| Of 81, 900 to $500 that he will carry one
Southern State, were also reported.
There wore plenty Of offers to bet,
but FEW TAKERS.

Cleveland, and Addison Cammack Ia
