MONEY IND BUSINESS.

The late war cloud had the usual effect. Ex-
pectation of larger demand from Europe for
grain lifted prices expectation Of wthd' avail
of European capital employed here caused the
beginning of reaction. Then it was quickly
seen that purchases for export were arrested by
o slight advance in prices, and wheat, which
rose to 50 cents for November on Wednesday,
fell of to 81 at the close, while corn fell back
from ass cents to 45l2. At the same time it
was seen that more gold was being shipped to
this country from Europe, in spite of consider
able orders to sell American securities on foreign
account, and after :hestation which was
generously aided by operators for a decline the
stock market took new start upward.
1t is impossible to ignore some signs that
business is not on the whole quite as good as
people have expected or supposed. There was
nominal advance in iron products, for ex-
ample, based Oh expectation of great traffic, but
now it is said that business in manufactured
iron has slaclened, that holders have been ask =
ing more for pig than they have realized, that
sales of &c, 900 tons of English rails at $40 80
to $21 ex ship at New Orleans were made last
week, equivalent to $37 80 duty paid, and at
that rate Eastern mills can hardly compete
with English LOT southern tIduc, IL us much as
S34 is asked for American rails. Coal has adj
vanced to So so for chestnut, but now a trade
journal says that ewing to the continued warn,
weather, the demand at present is not so large
as it was expected to be-" and the average
price of Lackaw anna coal sold in September at
Hoboken was So 0S. A slackening in the

at work. Exports from New-York were con.
siderably less in value last week than for the
week preceding, and for the first half of
October, instead of the great increase recently
recorded, there was decrease from last year
of per cent in exports and 10 per cent H. i'm
ports. 1t might be added that the increase in
exchanges outside Of New York, instead of "a
per cent over last year for the fret week of the
month, appears to have been about II per cent
last week, but these returns depend 50 largely
upon speculation that they are OF uncertain
value.

General Tracy deserves and should have
enough votes to elect him. He will have them
if the voters are alive TO their own Interests,
have the good name of their city and county ut
heart. and do their duty on election day.
OF the other candidates on the county ticket
it il only necessary to say that those who were
renominated have been efficient public servants
and that all of them should be supported by
men who think for themselves and are anxious
to see an end put to the one-man power that has
so long prevailed in Brooklyn. The renomina-
ton of Judge Reynolds by the City Convention
is an eminenfly fit one. 1t gives the Democrats
an opportunity that they can hardly afford to
neglect to reciprocate the spirit heretofore
shown by Brooklyn Republicans in behalf OF
non partisan judiciary. Judges Pratt, Moore
and Barnard have all been reelected to tho
bench in recent years by the help of Repdbli-
can yotes-nO candidates being run against
them-and the Democrats would do graceful
thing IN ndorse the nomination OF Chief Judge
Reynolds.
The Republicans of Brooklyn have done well
so far. If the nominations yet to he made
are I'D to the standard set on Saturday there
will be ticket in the field that should not only
call out the vote of every Republican,, bnt
should gain enough support from the Democ-
1acy to give @Bossr Mclaughlin singing
rebuke for the methods which he has intro
duced and fostered in Kings County politics.

CHIVALRY AND PRINCIPLE

A correspondent from the free and boundless
West. whose home is in the setting sum- so to speak,
expresses tho opinion that the men Of New York
are wanting IN chvalry and pOteness because they
do not as a rne give their seats in public convey
ances to ladies who NAV be standing. At the first
glance the view taken by our correspondent is apt
to appear the correct but there is always some
thing to be said on both sides OF every question,
and GOOD deal can be said on the other side OF this
one. Thus it can be argued that if or when New
York men retain their seats nnder the conditions
above stated. it because they cannot bring them-
selves to sacrifice an important principle to their
doubtless strong gallant impulses. They reflect
that the public corporation in whose con veyance
they are riding has made contract to furnish every
passenger seat that the corporation. in order to
make moro money, habitualy violates this con-
tract and that the man who surrenders his seat to
lovely woman under these circumstances aids and
bets the corporation in its offence of Overcrow ding
its cars
The men OF New-York are. as is woll-known, peo
nle strongly attached to principle. They Will make
considerable sacrifices for it. They will even tort
ure their own sensibilities by retaining their seats
in tho elevated cars from the Battery 10 Harlem
while women stand in the aisles beside them rather
than give occasion for the inference that they ap-
prove or do anything but condemn, the practice of
putting moro passengers in car than there are
seats for Western visitors may misunderstood
this practical way of protesting against the greed
of corporations. They may conclude, as our CORE
sponPent does that New-Yorkers are wanting in
politeness and consideration for the gentle SEX
This is q mistake. IS 1t fair to infer. when
man yields his seat to particularly charming
woman, that her attractiveness alone influenced
him Were il not for the strength of his principles
he would bound from his seat whenever any woman
whatever was without accommodations. In the
cases when he seems to make nvdous distinctions
in favor of the pretty girls the simple trnth is that
the pressure upon his principle becomes greater
than he car bear and the principle collapses for
the moment Western critics are prone to precipi-
tate judgments on matters of this kind.

cent bonds decreased $i,1OO, 600, against an
increase of ess than 100000 in all other
kinds. 1t Is hard to SEQ how this is reconcll-
able with the especial activity reported in the
trade of the regions where bank notes most cir
culate, and the Treasury also did not add more
than 800, 900 silver certificates and $lOO,OOO
Legal tenders to the amount of currency IN cir
culation The banks Of New-York changed
their condition but little, the surplus falling TO

gold is now at sea bound hither, fact which
cannot be explained by records of recent or
past foreign trade, and which appears to IMPLY
continued purchases Of securities here.
The cotton market, notwithstanding exports

the same week last year, though at hait cent
or about per cent lower prices, has been I'M

during the week War rnmors lifted the price
of pork products little, and lard was taken In
considerable quantities from Europe, but the
close was more luiet, with gain Of less than
quarter of a cent for the week. Wool is hardly
sustained at the recent advance. and oil without
change waits the outcome of reported purchases
by the Standard interest. Butter is unchanged
ard eggs lower. OF the adv ance in breadstuffs
which followed the war reports, the end of the
week shows that wheat had retained cents,
corn liz, and oats 17s cents, and the fact that
silver rose during the week 1 cent per ounce

trbution was said to be nnfavOraby influenced
last week by warm weather. but auction sales
of hannels and silks brought about per cent
below current net prices.
The railroad Northwestern pool helped the
stock market by its apparently favorable pio-
gress toward settlement, but the shipments
from Chicago, including the Chicago and
Atlantic, were only about 48.OS7 tons, and it
is said that nearly all the lines are shipping at
20 to % cents, instead Of the % cents agreed.
A meeting this week is to consider the matter
HAY ing two more receivers does not seem to
help Jersey Central much, for iJ declined
cents and Reading made no progress but the
general strength of the market was remark
able, and the average at the close, sos a.,
shows an advance of about 81 80 per share for
the week. Foreign realizing is reported daily,
but the course of gold iustiirs a belief that
more securities have recently been bought in
this market than sold on foreign account.
Indeed, but for that feature, the financial
future would not now look as fair as it does.

MIR. BLAINE IN PtNNSYLVANIA.

Mr.. Blaine's speech in Philadelphia and the
great demonstration there i / his honor are in
dcatve of the aggressive canvass the Re-
pubicans are making in that State. The
situation is much the same there as 1t was ID
Maine, the Democrats placing their reliance on
the aid of Third Party Prohibition movement.
IF they were to succeed it would be a victory
for Free Trade and the rum power. This was
made clear by Mr.. Blaine in his speech But
iudgng from the demonstration in Philadelphia
on Saturday night there is small hope for the
Democracy.
The strength of the Free Traders is in the
Soutb. 1t is the vote of the Southern Demo-
Gratis in Congress that threatens the stability OF
the protective tariff. This makes it particularly
important to consider the means and methods
by hich these Free Traders get to Congress.
1t was with their consent, in order to secure a
greater voice in Congress, as Mr.. Blaine shows,
that the coored men were considered in the ap-
portionment of Representatives. They pledge d
themselves to treat the negro fairly. This they
now refuse to do,and though they secured thirty
five members of the House On the strength of
the coored population they deny the coored
man the privilege of voting or of having his
vote counted, though it is guaranteed to him
bv the Constitution They have gone SO far in
Mississippi as to deny Republicans the right
even to run IA candidate for Congress; and a
Federal otiiceholdcr appointed by President
Cleveland is the leader in this movement.
The colored laborer is paid wages over 100
per cent less than is paid in the North for
similar work, ami the Noi hern aborer is
threatened with similar degradation through
the advocacy of Free Trade by these flaudu-
lently elected Southern Representatives,. AS
Mr. Blaine says, it takes courage to grappe
with this issue, bat it must be met. He states
the case clearly and the verdict in Pennsyl-
vania will undoubtedly be emphatic in con-
demnation of this great wrong.

THE BROOKLYN NOMINATIONS.

The Republicans of Brooklyn did remark
ably good piece If work on Saturday i'll noni-
mating Genera! Tracy for Disirict-At orney. A
better nomination could hardly have been
made There cannot but be rejoicing among
the law-abidng and order-loving people of
BrooElyn over the fact that General Tracy is
willing to be a candidate. He is certain to COM
mand the votes of all independent and right
thinking citizens who wish to see the laws en-
forced and the Office of public prosecutor nc
longer filled by man who is not only sufll-
GENTLY su bservent to the Democratic boss TO
retain his position, but whose former profess
sional associations were not such as to qualify
him for the important office to which he is
likely to be renOminated. General Tracy, if
elected-as he certainly ought to be-will make
an able, fearless and impartial Dislrict-At-
torney, and scandalous failures to carry out the
laws, especially in relation to pool-seling and
gambling, will no longer mark the administra-
ton of justice in Kings County. kThere is a
