brokers and operators seemed to be more
interested in discussing ,tomorrow's mum
Iicipal election and betting on the result
than i'm dealing in stocks. To-day being
a bank holiday in London, no quota
tons were received from there to influ-
ence the results here, but there was light
buying of some stocks in this market for
London account. The stiffening in the
rate for call money is not regarded as
likely to last for any length of time and
is attributed to operations incident to
the November disbursements on account
of dividends and interest, which are es-
timated at about $3O,OOO,OOO.
hallway bonds were strong in tone,
the Houston and Texas, Ore
gon Short Line, and Oregon Navigation
issues. Total sales 100000.
The total sales of stock to-day were
164, 900 shares, including the following:

LONDON MARKET.
New York, Nov. 1.-The Evening
Posts London financial cablegram says:
This is holiday on the London stock
exchange, it being All Saints Day. The
tone of the money market was momen-
tarily easier, but from indications in
good quarters it looks as though money
may keep fairly tight for some time
to come, with only slight set back in
the discount rate.
To-day large repayments from the mar
ket to the Bank of England were due,

New York. Nov. 1.-The market for

the conditions governing last week and
last month. There is still dearth of
mail orders and store trading is light in
the extreme in all cotton lines. In wool
lens there is still a scattering demand
with prices we'll sustained. The BUSH

satisfactory. the the more so as it was
not anticipated to be SO disastrous as
1t turned out. Conditions which came
up during the month, such AS the low
price Of cotton and the decline Of print
cloths IN the eastern market, were chiefly
responsible for this, though the prevail
ence of yellow fever in the Southern

tribntory cause. In staple cottons the
market lis quiet. The situation in print

GOMEZ IRON HAND.

The report from Cuba that the CUBAN
generals are hanging emissaries from the
Standards who attempt TO carry tidings OF
autonomy or pardon and are studiously
keeping tho rank and file Of the insurgents
In ignorance of Spanish promises OF re-
form. is calculated at first reading, to
arouse much criticism Of Gomez and his
lleuenants.
Many of the Cuban soldiers are said to
be tired Of the war and ready to listen to
Spanish offers, and 1t would naturally seem
that the Cuban army should be permitted
to express itself on the proposition for au-
tonomy. II appears to smack of tyranny,
In one sense, to deny the soldiers the right
to an expression Of their preferences In the
premises. When, however. 1t 10 remem-
bercd that the vast majority OF these insur-
gent soldiers are Ignorant and credulous
aud incapable OF fathoming skllfully laid
plots 10 entrap them, 1t Will be admitted
that It. Is better for them that they should
not be subjected to temptations. The
patriot generals who so much better know
the weakness of Spain and the holowness
u rs premises OF reform. are more capable
OF judging OF what is to the present inter
ests of Cuba than are the common soldiers
at their command. Gomez knows that
cuba has virtually won its fight. but he
knows too that 1t Is easy TO SOW dissen
sion in the ranks Of worn and hungry sol
diers and that extreme measures are JUS
titled by the great prize at stake and the
peculiar exlgoncies Of the situation
No great battle for freedom has ever
been won without finding among the pat
riots those who, like the hosts that fol-
lowed Moses through the wilderness, sigh
continually for the flesh pots of their Old
masters. Tho greatness Of the leader at
hcrence to his cause aud in the firmucss
with which he puts down mutnous mutter-
ings and holds his followers to the great

Of these Cuban generals to refuse to allow
the Cuban masses under their control even
to hear OF Spanish offers OF autonomy, but
10 weaken tho enthusiasm OF the Cuban
army now would be to lose all for which
1t has been fighting for nearly three years
past To guard against such blow Gomez
Is right In adopting the severest measures.
