Trade in this line is quiet, as it has been
all the week. In the line Of dairy products
only the best goods find ready sale. Choice
grades of cheese are firm at quotations.
Poultry is still in liberal supply and mar
kets are slow. Strictly fresh eggs are good
stock at outside quotations. Domestic
fruits are in diminishing supply and quail
ity is also on the decline. There are few
choice grapes on the market. Such as are
offered show the effect of frosts and are
not wanted either by commission men or
consumers. Bananas are also coming
mostly of late in a frosted condition and
prices are merely nominal. With the wane
of varieties in fruit and vegetable lines the
old reliables, namely, apples and potatoes
are in improved demand, and tone Of market

Operations Masked Under Heavy Hammer
ing-selling on the Certainty OF BAD
Bank Statement-The Drain of Funds
for Boston-Shares Higher.
NEW YORK, Nov. THE stock market to-
day showed some of its old-time activity,
but was feverish and unsettled from the
opening to the close, with great irregularity
in the movements, and the final changes are
insignificant in almost all cases. The feat
ure OF the trading was the heavy demand
from the shorts, and the urgency Of the buy
ing was seen in the unusual activity and tile
manipulation having for its object the accu-
mutation of stock without advancing prices.
The hammering continued in some por-
tions of the list to mask the covering in
other parts, and the old tactics of abandon
ing the effort to cover when 1t became evil
dent that the movement was advancing
prices too rapidly, with return to the ham
mering at the close, were resorted to. The
recent selling, based on the almost absolute
certainty OF bad bank statement to-day,
had its conclusion to-day, and while the de-
crease in reserves was material, 1t was seen
to be largely due to an expansion of loans,
which it is evident went to support the situ-
alton in Boston. The banks. however, are
still in very good condition.. and while the
statement was made up OH falling averages
it is probable that there is still plenty of
room for further expansion.
The opening was lower and Jersey Central
was off 14@I1, but the heavy demand i'm
mediately turned the course Of prices and
the upward movement carried the figures
up from x TO II per cent with the Coalers
and Lackawannf in particular showing
maj ked strength. The demand Stacked
away before the first hour was out, and the
market thereafter remained irregular and
feverish, prices going back materially in
most cases, Northern Pacific preferred being
most prominent in the decline, dropping
away lL per cent from its highest figure.
The rest of the list, however, held most Of
their advances. though at one time lower
prices than those of the opening were
reached in a majority of cases.
There was some improvement in the final
dealings, though the close was still heavy
and active at close to the lowest figures.
Most stocks, however, show gains for the
day and Lackawanna is up ~ per cent and
Delaware and Hudson IL.

stocks on the New York Exchange yesterday.

Trade is not up to what it was a wear ago.
The movement is not sufficiently free to
absorb the products of our tanners. The

Footwear Trade.
The situation in lines of boots and shoes Is
little different from what it was a week ago.
The Boston Herald, in its trade column, has
this to say of the situation and outlook:
at has been a very quiet week with boot
and shoe manufacturers. Election and the
excitement connected Herewith has de-
tracted good deal from the interest that
might have been expected in boots and shoes
on the commencement of fall weather; but.
now that election is over, it is expected that
there is to be a good business. Fortu-
nately, the recent trouble in banking affairs
does not strike the boot ana shoe trade
except indirectly. Indeed, it may be noted
that the trade is in excellent condition
financially, having made successful collec-
tiohs Oh the Roous VI Tile past season, and
not feeling any particular pressure from
paper due. But it is a fact that the jobbers
are buying very yconservatively, though with
the feeling that goods are to be wanted in
full volume as the season progresses. They
say that the retail trade is not fully satis-
factory, though there has been a change Tor
the better since cold weather. Bat in some
sections of the country there is a complaint
of q light retail trade. This is accounted for
by tine putting of too much money into
short-time endowment societies and other
schemes for making money so rapidly. The
poorer classes of people, having paid their
of that very money to buy the necessaries
of life, among which necessaries boots and
shoes stand in the front ranks.
"But good trade is coming later. Manu-
facturers are getting orders in spring goods,
ready to commence soon the making of such
goods. though the taking of stocks is very
likely to hinder the factories some days."

Demoralized.

SATURDAY, Nov.7.

OFFICE OF PIrTSBURG DIsPArCH,
SATURDAY Nov.1 :
Volume of trade for the week past has
been less than the previous week. The
election occupied attention during the first
half of the week to the -detriment of busi-
ness, and the latter half of the week gave
no signs of revival. Among the marked
features of trade has been the drop in
creamery butter. A month ago supply in
this line was not equal to demand, and
prices advanced until butter. became
luxury too steep in price for the purse of
the average consumer. As result oleo came
to the front, and the genuine article drifted
back until prices are fully be per pound
below the highest point. As Thanksgiving
times draw near supply of poultry and game
is on the increase, and tendency Of prices is
downward. 1t is evident that our Thanks
giving turkey is to be less expensive this
season than for some years past. In fruit
lines we note decline in quality and a di-
minishing demand. The grapes and bananas
offered of late are for the most part frosted,
and are, therefore, hard to sell. With the
depreciation in quality of grapes comes
better demand for apples. A week
potatoes. and prices touched the lowest point
of the season. Receipts have of late fallen
off, and markets in this line are a shade
hrmer. In cereal lines We note a steady i'm
provement in most lines. Old corn and oats
are firm at advancing prices. New corn is
coming in freely and prices are weaker.
Other cereals are steady. By reference to
domestic market column it will be seen that
provisions are tending to lower level.
Light Hides Weak.
The market for buff hides has not for
years been more demoralized than it is at
the present time. The reduction last week
of Nc per pound has been more than justi-
hed by events. At the decline markets are
very dull, with the situation in buyers
favor. 1t is doubtful if light hides have
been sold here at any time in the history of
the trade as low as right now. Steer hides
are fairly steady at the former quotations,
as are calf and kip skins. The time is at
hand when heavy hides, according to pre-
cedent. will come in freely, and there is a
general expectation among dealers of
drop. For month or two past supply of
steer hides has been short of demand, and
hence markets have been strong.
Following are prices paid by Allegheny
tanners for stock delivered here:

The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-01-19

The supreme court of New Hampshire
is being severely criticized in in it's own
state for failure to give the clerk of the
house Of representatives instructions
which would have prevented him carry
ing out his agreement to steal tibet body
for the republicans, and incidentally
burking another United States senator
ship. 1t was evident that the court did
not make an honest answer when it de.
clared that it did not have jurisdiction
on the matter brought before it. They
knew that Clerk Jewett proposed to put
on the rolls the names of forty men who
had no right to sit in the house, and that
in doing this he was acting unlawfully.
The law providing that the clerk OF the
last house shall make up the roll OF the
next n made his act ministerial and
not judicial. In opposition to this plain
provision he gave out that he was going
to be the judge Of who was entitled to
seats. The court knew that the theft
was about to be committed and the in
ference naturally drawn from the refusal
to interfere is that the judges wanted it
to take place. As a matter of fact they
did not consider the question whether
Jewett was about to do a wrongful act
for which he had been hired by Chand.
Ter. 1t was known that had the demo.
Gratis come into power they would have
remodeled the Judiciary system of the
~ a{o L. -.-A -
everybody else did. So they we're as
much beneficiaries Of the Chandler steal
as anybody else. They sunk the judicial
ermine in the mire and told Jewett to
go and steal. And he did. Three stolen
s~enatorships in eighteen months is d
pretty large record even for the party
which stole a presidency.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-01-19

In other columns THE INDEPENDENT
presents this morning the result OF
careful scientific test of the llluminat-
ing oils that are sold in Helena. The
facts in themselves are sufficiently
startling without any attempt to create
a sensation by glazing headlines or ex-
cited comment. Every householder,
every owner of a lamp, every grocer OF
dealer in oils should read the article and
govern himself accordingly. The oils
sold in Helena and elsewhere in Montana
to-day are dangerous to human
life and dangerous to property
The fault is not with the merchants
who have no means of making practi.
Cal tests. The merchant must take the
representation of the wholesale dealer
IN oils, in the absence of other and more
trustworthy information. The remedy
lies IN city and state legislation, in
thorough test and careful inspection.
Our city council should lose no time in
driving out of Helena the explosive and
adulterated burning oils. Our legisla-
ture should move at once in the matter
of protecting rural consumers who have
not the benefit of municipal laws. Drive
out the deadly frauds!
