NeWYnRK srncK MARKEr.

Nrw YORK. November 3.-The stock
market to-day was divided into two
parts-the sugar-refneries and the rest
Of the listed and unlisted stocks. In the
first division there was decided weak
ness, but the other showed most crafty
ing strength on dull business, and ut the
close the losses are few in number, while
the great majority of stocks dealt in are
fractionally higher, with one or two ma
terial advances as the result Of the days
operation.
BRoKEBs' LOANS DECREASING.
The buying Of securities still comes
principally from parties who are paying
for thor stocks, and in this manner tho
floating supply Of securities on the street
is constantly diminishing and rs indi-
Gated by the last two bank statements,
brokers loans are decreasing. There
was some weakness still in Illinois Cen
trial, but outside of that stock and sugar
rofneries the market showed q strong M
dertone, and moro resistance to bearish
attacks is developed from day to day.
ALMOST ALL SUGAR.
The market to-day wasalmost all sugar,
and the feeling this morning was that a
receiver was probable and weakness APP
peared with the first sales. The stock
decreased from 6s2 Saturday TO 81 in the
first half hour. Great fevarishness was
shown, however, and nearly full re-
ooyery occurred, when the nows that a
decision had been handed down and that
the appointment Of at least two receivers
was deemed necessary sent the stock OF
in the early portion Of the afternoon at
59s. srecuperative power was less after
that time, and while il reached 81 during
tho afternoon it gradually settled back TO
60 and finally closed at 6O5, a net loss
Of A. per cent. for the day.
An ADVANCE FROM OPENING TO CLOSE.
The general market refused 10 sympa-
thize with this heavy drop in sugar, and
notwithstanding some selling by London
in the early trading the market advanced
from the opening 70 the close, although
the progress made was extremely slow
and the final gains were small, Louis
and Nashville and ST. Paul and Reading
we're most active, but neither showed
any feature of interest, and the only
stocks in which there we're marked gains
were Southern Pacific, which is up pei
cent and Jersey central, which rose q
on light transactions towards the close,
The market closed fairly active anc
firm az about best figures. Tho sales o
listed stocks aggregated 1913, 600 shares
OF unlisted, 1j9, 600.

special telegram to the Dispatch,


CHARLESTON, s. c., November s.
Everything is quiet on the eve of election.
Both sides clam victory and seem equally
confident. IL is impossible to make any
Trustworthy estimate as yet, on account
Of the unknown factors in the contest
IL is impossible TO obtain the extent Of
the registration of negroes, and shrewd
politicians say that the colored vote will
not 10y any means be unit for Haskell.
THE CLAIMS.
II Is freely acknowledged that Has
teli has gained among the whites within
the past week, but Iillman claims that
he has gained among the negroes more
than enough 10 offset that. The general
opinion Is that about 100, 900 votes will
b. cast, about 60, 900 whites and 10000
negroes Haskell claims 10000 whites
and all the negroes. Tillman says Has
kell won't get 1000 white votes and not
more than half of the negroes. II will
be & hard-fouRht battle and the signs
point TO violence.
THE CONFLICT.
In some sections Tillmantes say no
negroes viii be allowed to vote for Has
Loll. There will be fights in nearly all
Of tho counties. and in some nots are
feared. The Haskell party have detec-
tycs to watch the polls and will see that
the law is strictly followed or they will
prosecute the managers.
PRE- AND FAIR.
70 will DO a free election and fair
count. The Democrats will likely lose
$50 congressman. Elliott can hardly
make the race in the black district. and
She'll. the alliance candidate, il almost
sure Of defeat in the Fourth. Ensor will
defeat Shell, and Brayton will defeat Ell
iio,t and also Miller, the colored man
who oustcd Elliott.

DIR. Jackson's Decision Not Yet Announced.
The monthly meeting of the vestry of
Grace Episcopal church occurred yester-
day afternoon. There was unusual in
terest attached to it, because, as is
generally known. the rector of that
church, Rev. DR.. II. NJ. Jackson, has
recently been elected Assistant Bishop
of Alabama, and il was thought that the
vestry might receive some communi-
cation from him.
Major Thomas A. Brnnder, one Of the
vestrymen, was seen by a Dispatch re
porter at a late hour last night in regard
TO it.. He stated that nothing besides
regular business had transpired.
1t is probable, however, that a special
meeting will soon be held, and that then
DIR. Jackson will announce to the vestry
either his acceptance or his declination
OF the Alabama bishopric.
