New York stock, Money and Grain
Market Review.

New York. Monday, November Q, 1899.
Stocks saturdays bank statement,
naturally resulted In commission hovses
having a good many selling orders this
morning, this coupled with the lower
prices In London resulted In some de-
cline ct the opening. but In no case was
the reaction very marked. In fact it APP
pears that almost all stocks had support.
ing orders and this was especially notice
able In leather common, which had the
sensational break on Saturday. There
was some pressure on Southern Pacific
at the opening. but here again support
YVES noticeable. The trading was heavy.
but the power Of absorption seemed to be
unlimited and as liquidation slackensd
on, the stock advanced easily. During
the greater part of this day there was
nothing doing, but IN those two stocks.
The buying OF Southern Pacific was OF
an excellent character and the stock adj
vanced steadily and closed at about the
b st price of the day. In leather the
trading was enormous during the first
hour and the tendency seemed to be
doubtful, but subsequently, very heavy
buying orders made their appearance and
after IL had gone above 40 a broker was
sent into the crowd who appeared to have
an order to buy unlimited quantities at
40. The mystery concerning -. this stock
Is as great as ever, the story tnat the pre-
ferred tockbolders are to be comp sled to
accept 4 per cent bonds In exchange for
their stock Is not gsper ally believed. In
fact 1t has been pointed out by lawyers,
whose opinion Is entitled TO respect that
the attempt to enforce an alteration In re-
gard to the present capitalization Of the
company upon the stockholders would
result In endless ana complicated litiga-
ton. -s..-.. ....s .s=a-t-..t-.-
The first quotation for money was per
cent. but 10 quickly advanced to 10 and
even as high as is FER cent.
Traders were inclined to hold of until
after the election, and the market has
been very dull.

shrewd business instincts and good man.
aging power have sought the place, and in
many incidents have followed presidents
and farmed out the funds to individual or
political advantage. The temptation and
the pressure were such that they could not
easily be resisted.
Some of the states have paid dearly for
the loose methods that were permitted their
treasurers. Louisiana lost a large sum- es-
timated anywhere from half million to a
million dollars, through the defalcation of
Major Burke. Honest Dick Tate robbed
Kentucky of nearly half million and Mar
shall Polk died in prison paying penalty
for heavy pecuations committed while
treasurer of Tennessee. They were trusted
men, of excellent position and wide popu-
larity, and they fell victims to opportuni-
ties which should never have been allowed
them. The particulars of their downfall
are unknown. but if they could be gathered
and published they would doubtless go far
to support the demand for the reform now
recommended.
Gov. Hastings is right. And the legisla-
ture of Pennsylvania would do well to act
in accordance with his suggestions. The
public funds should not be farrned out for
personal or political ends nor be boarded so
as to make the sum a temptation to the
official in charge of it.

qulesce in it. He differs with his party on
the question of expansion, but if the partv
adopts that policy. why, SO will he. He
agrees to condone the offense if his partv
shall commit it. Which is philosonhicaI
and wise in the senator
Mr.. Hale, therefore may practically he
marked off the list of the opposition. His
party Is committed on the subject of ex.
pansion and he will follow. The mere ex
preston of his objection will count for
nothing When the Senate has voted he
will be good.
Mr.. Hoar and Mr.. Perkins are still TO he
reckoned with But maybe Mr. Perkins
Will now see his way clear to support the
treaty. He is opposed to it, but he re-
ferred the matter to the California legis-
iature for instructions, and that body has
just instructed the representatives of the
state in Congress to support the admins
tration's policy. Presumably Mr. Perkins
