Review, Received Daily by Pullen, Crock
NEW YORK Nov. Q

NEW YORK. Nov. 2.
Except for a renewed selling movement
in Jersey Central the market today has
been without feature save that of quiet
strength. The bears appear disposed to re-
duce their contracts in view of the preya IL
ing idea that ii post election rally is proba-
BILE but otherwise the buying is without
character. The bank statement was a good
one showing an expansion of loans three
times greater than the decrease reported a
week ago. The moderate loss in cash is
the first Indication of success of the policy of
the New York banks in seeking to check
the inflow OF idle funds by reducing inter
est rates on country deposits. An enc on. ag-
ing phase of the situation is the recent revi-
val of activity il railroad bonds and the
strength of this market, il continued, may
lead to better tone in stock speculation.
Trade reports are fairly satisfactory in
view of the absorption of public interest in
the political contest and the sum of all the
accounts is favorable to the belief that gen.
eral business is gradually gaining ground.
Comparisons with the worlds fair exceptional
travel last year continue to pre- rent en-
cturaging railroad returns but the chances
favor more satisfactory showings later on.
The foreign exchanges rule dangerously
near the gold shipping point and will ev-
IDENTIFY be turned decisively by post election
developments. If the election results are
really conducive to sentiment of stability
on the tariff and financial questions fast
er advance may be looked for in trade and
industry and if the administration takes
steps to reinforce the National Treasury
the fear of gold exports will be allayed.
1t is premature to look for any sustained
movement in the market and beyond rallies
on the shorts we do not see a prospect of
Improvement unless hopes Of better con-
ditions after the elections are realized.

The black plague at Canton, Hong Kong
and else where in China, has spread with great
rapidity, and both nttivc and foreign colonies
are in a state bordering on panic. The rayages
of the pest have been aggravated by drought
extending over eight months AT Hong Kong
the epidemic has assumed = yirulent FORM
and in six hours thirty-three deaths were re-
ported. Officers have been detailed to look
after the dead bodies found in the houses and
streets. The plague has its origin in hlth and
dirt, and thriyes best in the poorer quarters.
II is similar TO iyphus.
The insurrection in Korea has assumed a

There was a bloody battle at Little's coal
mine five miles down the Illinois river from
Pekin, Illinois. On the 9th 500 miners from
the west of the river were about to attack the
mine. Sheriff Frederick swore in posse and
set out for the scene. The strikers had as
semb!ed at Bentonyile and crossed the Hi
nois on ferries. There were about 100 men
