SpeClal UO the UtOUe
NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-It was an up-and-
down market to-day, few specialties max
ing decided advance, while the general
market was held about steady. The OPEN
ing in the Changers and trunk lines was
weak. The Changers were sold down on
prospect of complications in Western pool
affairs, which. it was feared, might lead to
a rate war. The decline, however was not
maintained, as buyers were plentiful who
took no stock in the often-repeated story of
a break up on these pools. Northwestern
earnings were less favorable than had been
anticipated, showing an increase of $50, 900.
Northern Pacific earnings increased SIS, 900,
and predictions of steady increase come
from official sources. S. V. White sold
some Northwestern in which he was quoted
as saying he had profit of 25 points. The
trunk lines were slow, owing to reports that
Garrett of the Baltimore & Ohio would re-
fuse to sign the trunk-line agreement. Later
in the day, however, it was pretty gener-
ally concluded that Garrett would sign the
agreement. So confident were Vanderbilt
houses on this point that they laid in big
lot of
TRUNK-LINE SECURITIES
in anticipation of the boom which would
follow the final contamination of the trunk
line deal The strongest thirgs in the list
were Pacific Mail and Southwestern stocks.
Pacific Mail was doomed on the favorable
statement which it presented yesterday.
Heavy buying orders for both Kansas &
Texas and Texas Pacific advanced these
stocks about IL points. Hollins was a
large buyer of Texas Pacific, and London
was again reported bullish on Kansas &
Texas. Wheeler bought Northwestern,
and Savin sold Lake Shore. The market
was fairly active. sales at neon amounting

Mrs. Storey No. I Comes so.

CHICAGO, Nov 18.-Judge Tuley this
morning listened to arguments On the nett
ton of Mrs. Maria P. Storey, the divorced
wife of the late w. F. Storey, that she
be made a party defendant to the
bill of Mrs. Eureka c. Storey against
Anson L. Storey and others in the case of
the Storey estate. The petitioner claimed
that she was unwillingly divorced and was
without fault in the matter, and
that, therefore, in law, she lost
none of her interest in said
estate as wife of W. F.Storey. Judge Tuley
granted the petition on the allegations, and
ordered that she be made party defendant
in the case with the heirs.

THE MONEY FLUX ACCOUNTED
FOR.

To those who insist that all present
business ills are due exclusively, in this
country, to the compulsory coinage OF
standard dollars by our National MINIS
at the rate of fifty cents per head yearly
of our population, and that even to that
cause is to be attributed the glut of idle
specie in the bank vaults here in New
York, says the Financial and Mining
Record, we would call their attention to
the fact that there is at present in the
Bank of England s33, $50, 900 more gold
and bullion than there was six months
ago. and such is the amount of idle
money in that bank that. for the seventh
time since 1875 the bank rate of dis
count has been reduced to two per cent.
Assuredly, this Aux of gold in that
quarter is not to be ascribed either to the
coinage Of silver or to the issuance Of sill.
yer certificates in the British Islands,
and yet it might just as nationally be
accounted for there as at this side OF the
Atlantic.
France is full of silver, or to the ex-
tent of sl4 per head of her population,
but more afiuent OF gold, or to the ex-
tent of so3 per head. So naturally the
Bank of France is flush with both metals;
that is to say, on the 4th instant, possessed
no less than 500. $50. 900 in gold with
s2l5, 3S5, 900 in silver-or the enormous
aggregate of s436, Dos, 900, being S so
per head of gold and SIS &C in silver of
the entire population Of France. There,
however, nobody is silly enough to ex-
plain this vast accumulation Of the
money metals upon any other basis than
that of trade ~stagnation; no one in
France chooses to ignore that, while
there is So, $40, 600 more of silver in the
bank than there was a year ago. there is
Sl3, $50, 900 more OF gold; and should any
one in France assert that the present
s~tagnation in trade and business in that
country has either been caused in whole
or part by the possession or the part Of
the French people Of at least 1887, 0O0,-
600 in silver money, would be laughed
at and designated in their vernacular rs
a fool twenty.four carets fine.

GLADsrONETs DOWNFALL.

Says the New York World: The
great British nation, as represented in
Parliament, has arisen in its might and
driven the Liberal Ministry from power
with a b~ungstarter. Mr.. Gladstone and
his Cabinet have shared the fate of
Clarence, only they have been drowned
in beer instead of Malmsey.
The financial budget has been the i'm.
mediate cause of the Government defeat
and of the resignation of the Ministry.
The wretched blunders Of the Soudan,
the humiliations in Afghanistan, cring.
ing to Russia, left Mr.. Gladstone with a
majority still at his back. But the
proposition to raise the price of the En-.
glishman's beer was a greater load than
the venerable statesman could carry.
OF course the events of the last year
have shaken the Liberal power and made
the Government the more unpopular
probably with the people than with
Parliament. But, except for the beer
tar, the Cabinet would have lasted until
the dissolution and have gone into the
elections with the prestige of Office IN its
side.
The situation is a peculiar one and has
its humorous features. A general cleo.
ton is at hand. The Liberal members
were afraid to 60 before their constitn.
ents with the stigma upon them of hav.
ing voted to tax beer. So they refused
to vote. The wild Irish members, who
care nothing about beer. saw their happy
opportunity to avenge themselves on the
Ministry for its proposition to renew the
Coercion Act in any form. The Con.
servatives rallied at the sound of the
"whip." The result was a defeat of the
Government by IL votes out of a total of
5l6. Seven votes would have changed
the result.
With all this, too. the Government
was right. Its tax on spirits and beer,
instead of tea and sugar. as proposed by
the Conservatives, was in the interest OF
the people. The necessity Of raising
money was imperative. But the politi.
clans know that in an Englishman's
estimation his beer is above national
honor. above tea and sugar and family
comforts. and SO they deserted Mr..
Gladstone without conjunction.
1t is questionable If the Conservatives
can make q Cabinet that will last ever
until the dissolution. But we have no
doubt they will make the attempt. and
it is possible that with the aid of the
Irish members which may be temporarily
gained and of all the odds and ends OPP.
posed to Mr.. Gladstone, they may sue
coed. But it is mot probable that any
great schemes of policy will be inaugu.
rated before the appeal to the country
has been made.
