 New York November 3.-The market practically relieved today the losses of the last two days, the majority of railroad stocks closing within a small fraction of the prices of last Monday There was con siderable irreguarity at the opening due to the depression in London. There was good deal of activity during the first hour, mainly centered in the specialties and changes in the railroad list were almost unappreciable, though the market held very hard surface. Trading was dull all most to the point of stagnation until the last few minutes, when the notable changes were made. The movement started With sudden advanc, of nearly 4 points in Metropolitan Street railway, and Consoh- dated Gas followed with an almost equal gain. St. Paul preferred sold at 1621s, new high record, and Great Northern pre- ferred jumped over a point. Other railroad stocks which extended their net gains to a point or over were Omaha, Northwest and Denver. Gains in the Changers and Northern Pacific and one or two other stocks approximated point
 The market was held through the early dealings by strength of sugar, which rose above 115 and closed after various fiuctua- tions. Tobacco and Federal Steel prefer red also showed hardening tendency, but were much less active than of late. The recovery in stocks was attributed to relief over the more peaceful prospects abroad as indicated by the recovery in Brit sh consols, the easing of the discount rate in London, and the weakness of the wheat market London bought in this market for the first time in several days. In view of these de- velopments and the continued ease of the local money market, the advance in sterling and continental exchange IS difficult to ac- count for An incident of the outside mar ket was the declaration on the Standard Oil "ass!gnments' of what is, in spite of circumlocution employed ili announcing it, a 'vidend of per cent. regular quarterly and 4 per. ent.-extra bringing the dividends for the year up to 30 per cent, against 3S .sper.eent. last year and '3l per cent the year 7 before. The traffic statement of St. Paul, showing an increase for the fourth week in October of s14i 464. was sustaining force I; throughout the railroad list
 There was a good business done in bonds especially in reorganization As. which showed an uniform tendency to advance.
 The liquidation of some heavy blocks, in Atchson adjustments carried the price down B. with a subsequent recovery. Southern railway 5's rose to par. Total sales were $3045l000. .t-A United States As coupon advanced E, and the new 4s coupon declined A in the bid price today.

Cotton Letter

By Leased Wire to T. G. Hewlett. Agt.
 Birmingham, November 3.-Liverpool spot sales were 10 900 bales at unchanged prices. Futures were about one point lower. There was no special feature here. Opening prices were one point lower, which was followed by fractional declines further. but extreme caution is used by both factions Port re- ceipts were a shade lighter and gave lit- tie covering strength to the market after the second call Secretary Hester put the amount brought into sight during the year at 2294. .105 against 1891 .807 last year. which broke all previous records. Reports from all points show easy. quiet spot markets. There is absolutely nothing doing. Closing prices were a little better than the opening.

Paine. Murphy $ Co.'S Grain Letter


 Birmingham, November, 3.-Wheat open ed weaker on dull and lower cables, and a more peaceful outlook abroad. The early buying was scattering, while Bartlett crowd were persistent sellers. The large northwest receipts was also bearisht and buyers of yesterday turned sellers. This resulted in further decline of 1S cent be- low the opening. Oessa stock showed S,500.- 900 more than the estimate and European visible increased for the month 9.720,0 900 bushels. Al news were of a bearish na- ture. but the market is narrow and the scalpers who sold early bought in their con- tracts. which rallied prices fractionally from the lowest. The position is prob lematie. and unless export continues or more war scares are manufactured the tendency will be downward as long as large receipts are reported daily. Corn was dull with more sellers than buyers. Provisions were steady and shade higher.

New York Cotton Market.

As- New York Cotton Market. New York, November s.--There was new low record made for cotton today, No- yember contracts selling down to 300. The general market was pervaded by hesitation and the scope of variations was confined to 1 points. Both classes of traders exer- cised the greatest caution. The contingent continues to have the advantage apparent ly. Liverpool cables being anything but sat- isfactory- as offset to the still heavy movement of new cotton in this country, and speaking of little no support A few parties bought in a conservative fashion on investment account, but the market receiv- ed little support from the claims of brokers. Shorts were the best buyers The basis of covering was the moderating movement of cotton, as indicated by port and interior re- ceipts.
 In the afternoon the market steaded a little and closed a fraction higher.

HOUSE.

At the opening of the House yester-
day, Rep. Robertson reported for the
Judiciary Committee on Resolution 63,
asking for an appropriation of 5000
for copying the records of the Circuit
Court of the Second Circuit The com
mittee could see no reason why the
appropriation should be made. There
was no need of copying again the rec
| ords of the Court referred to, since
| fire-prOOf walls now surround the
| Court House.
Rep. Robertson reported as follows
| for the Judiciary Committee ON House
Bill go, relating to the importation and
sale of opium:
''The object of the bill is to repeal
those portions of the opium law which
give to the informer one-haIf of all
fines collected from persons convicted
under the law.
1--WE believe that much Of the cor
ruption, which it is generally admitted
exists with reference to the opium traf-
fic is induced by reason of the prac-
tice of giving infOrmers a share of the
fines. An interview with Marshal
Brown has confirmed this belief The
existence of the present provisions Of
the law is a standing temptation to in
formers and weak police officials to
commit conspiracy and perjury And
We may here remark that the inform
ers' share Of these fines does not al
ways reach the real infOrmer, but is
frequently divided with paid officers
Of the Government whose duty it
should be to enforce the law without
compensation beyond their regular
salaries
ct is also to be noticed that the |
bill does not alter the provision of the |
law which allows to informers the sum |
of one dollar per pound on all opium
captured so, that the incentive to work
up large cases still remains.
For these reasons we recommend
the bill pass"
Rep. Robertson presented a petition,
signed by $50 persons, asking for the
favorable consideration of an electric
railway for Honolulu. Referred to the
Special Committee to whom such mat
ters have been entrusted.
Rep. Richards presented the fol-
lowing petition:
