Country Produce. &C., Foreign
and Domestic.

NEW YORK, November 2.-To-day's
market transactions were confined for
the most part to the closing up Of con-
tracts. in anticipation OF to-morrow's
holiday. The course of prices indicated
that few contracts were being made. The
stocks that showed up best to-day went
to indicate that there was selling to
realize on the very desultory buying OF
the last few days. Even so firmly held
a stock as Northern Pacific, preferred,
did not fully escape this tendency, and
closed at a fractional loss. Metropolitan
Street Railway, also, which has advanced
very aggressively for several days past.
reacted points, and rallied rather feeby.
Manhattan lost l SIS of its extreme adj
vance, though II saves fractional net
gain. There were other points of weak
ness in the list, including New Jersey
Central, Sugar. and National Lead. Union
Pacific lost over dollar of the third and
last of the s. assessments added to the
price this morning.
There was a time to-day when the
market ruled above last nights close.
and Burlington and Omaha declined to
the extent of point. In fact, 1t was
not until the late afternoon that the
general level of the market fell below last
nights close. 1t was at this time that
marked weakness developed in Peoples
Gas, resulting in a decline OF points.
Susquehanna and Western preferred, and
Pullman also dropped a point at this
time. Consolidated Gas was dull at
Dricp below last nights close.
The settlement In progress on the Lon
don Exchange was watched with some
interest, but none of the days weakness
can be attributed to 1t, quotations were
advanced in that market, and there was
buying for the London account. PROBABLY
some depression was caused by the cha-
racter Of the rate war which Is In pro-
gress on some of the western lines. The
