A Severe Panicky Feeling on Wall

Holders to Sell.

NEW YoRK, Nov. IL. AT the opening
of the Stock Exchange there was d semi
panicky feeling. Arbitrage stocks were
known 10 be per cent. on In London,
and offerings in st. Paul, and Louisville
and Nashville. Union Pacific and Read
ing stocks were made In this market
upon the London basis. Bids were few
and brokers with stop orders had few
disagrceable moments before the mar.
ket steadied. Outside Of Arbitrage stocks
prices were made on stop orders. In
Cleveland Columbus. Cincinnati and St.
Louis. which closed at 0fs Saturday,
the first sale was 81. and the price then
rapidly. declined 10 50. Western Union,
which closed at Tot, sold at "a. AS soon
as the stop orders were out Of the way
the market rallied. An apprehensiFe
feeling was still shown, however.
This declines TO the lowest prices Of the
hrst terminus were as follows Atchi-

and Quincy 3; Louisville and Nashville,

natl ana st. Louis, O. Lake Shore,
North American Sugar Trust, Wheeling
and Lake Erie and Chicago Gas showed
considerable strength. Manhattan Ele-
waited fsfl from 100 to 02. Only at the
opening was excitement manifested, but
although the brokers continued appar-
emily calm there was a determination
almost universal among them
70 close out everything but the
strongest accounts. The sales were
enormous In the first hour, but In thst
time nearly everything pressing seemed
20 have been sold and the rest of the
selling appeared 70 b only ON snall

per cent, but when stocks began 20
come out they retired. The sales in the
first two hours amounted 90 over 2l6,0o0
shares.
The governors decided to Keep the ex-
change open after the death Of Mr..
Strufhers as Ii was believed that many
firms and institutions were
On shs Verge of Bankruptcy,
and that the close of the exchange would
force many Of the largest firms to sus-
pend. When business was resumed at
1890 the decline was resumed with In
creasing rapidity. prices fell of wildly.
and the situation became desperate.
The rush 10 sell after the recess caused
by tho fatal incident resulted IN the low
est prices Of the day, but with the ex-
haustion Of the selling orders which
then appeared number of the brokers
who had been heavy sellers early,
tnrned and bought heavily. A rally
was soon under way, and at l:30 p. IN.
the market was quiet, and prices TO
per cent advance on the lowest prices OF
the day.

WITHDRAW TIE APPEAL.

The Ameriean Cosnmftf@e for the Relief
of Famine Sufferers I'm Isaiand Thanass
There sxsy Be No Need OF Assistance
from This ceuatFy.
New YoRK, Nov. 1.-THE American
committee for the relief Of famine In
Ireland has issued statement, an
nouncing the temporary withdrawal Of
its appeal TO the American people. At
che time the appeal was issued, the COM
mittee says, there was no reason for be-
heving that the distress which would
follow the failure Of the potato crop In
ireland would be relieved otherwise
than hy American generosity no stApG
having been taken BY the British gov
ernment 70 meet the crisis. The first
effect Of the American committee was
TO proyoke fiippant denials from the
government press that distress existed
or that famine was threatened. Never
thelesa, the Developments of the last
month have confirmed the committees
warning, and the British government
has been kpurred 20 investigate the situ-
alton, and win undertake d system OF
public works in the distressed districts
which, by aifording partial relief,
threatened famine. The COMMITTEES
has reason TO believe that this sudden
activity OF the British government i
largely due to the sympathy and sup
port offered from America, and, inasr
much as the government IL now pledged
20 prevent distress coming 30 the Irish
people, Ia Of the opinion that there may
Be no need Of sending food and clothing
10 Ireland from America. This c0nclu-
sion III reached after friendly c0nsulfa-
tion with the representatives Of the
Irish people now In America. who repre-
sent that 1t would introduce an interfer-
ing element into Irish politics If aid Ia
any shape should be sent 20 Ireland by
any charitable agency before the pres
ent resources OF the imperiled peasants
were exhausted. When that point Is
reached, ii 1t does come, the COMMITTEES
viii renew its appeal and trust to the
generosity Of the American public to
carry on an adequate relief movement.
The crisis will come at about the end 0f
the year and III will then be apparent
whether che pledges OF the British gov
ernnHnt ere to u kept and whether the
relief measures promised under It's aus
pices viii be adequate. Meanwhile the

and leaves little to be said Mr.. Clarkson's

part OF the governmental positions-those
which have to do with rejecting or enforc-
Ing the policy of the administration on the
great questions on which the people divide
are undoubtedly political. 1t is essential that
the cabinet officers should be in sympathy
with the political policy of the administration
IL is essential that great many other officers
should be. 1t would be ridiculous for an adj
ninlstration which was committed to the
poiicy Oh protecting American industries to

vice reform seeks TO meet this demand by
providing that in the selection of such en-

competence to do the work for which they
are to be employed. That is the whole Of

Returns from the circular sent out some
months ago by the Democrats inquiring into
the feeling Of the party in regard to putting
license plank into the platform are now
about all in, and the results are not at all en-
couraging to the advocates of change in
our system of restraining the liquor trafhc.
Seventy per cent. Of the answers are against
any such action. This is just as we expect
co. prohibition has ceased to be political
question in this State, and the Bangor
democrats, who are anxious to make il such
cannot succeed. The rural Democrats and
tne rural Republicans are almost unanimous
N support of the prohibitory law. In the
cities and large towns there are some adyo-
Gates OF change In the present system in
both parties more In the Democratic Doubt
less than in the Republican-but they are
not numerous enough to make 1t worth while
for them to attempt to change the existing
policy. The tramp of cowhide boots" will
suppress the city gentlemen who may rise to
offer license plank in the Democratic con-
ventlon this year, just as effectually as it has
done In the past. The Bangor Democracy
VIII have to content themselves with enforc
Ing peculiar views in their own locality.
They cannot force them upon the State

antagonizlng the administration, as Mr..
Clarkson seems to.think, it is cooperating
with 1t. 1t is co-operating.w its political
policy by advocating the appointment to
the political Offices of men in sympathy with
its political opinions; it is cooperating with
its business policy by helping it secure CON-
petent men to transact its business, for of
course the policy of every administration is
to have the business of the government done
honestly. faithfully, economically and ex-
pertly. The old spoils system co-operated
Win the administration in only one of these
directions. 1t insisted that the men who
hiled the political offices should be in sym
pathy with it. But it did not insist that the
men who were to fill the business offices
should be competent to faithfully reflect its
business policy. On the contrary it was very
Indifferent on this point.
