THE STOCK MARKET
SLUGGISH And WEAK
Few Issues Escape a Slow But
Certain Decline.
Industrials Keep Pace in Sympathy
With the Railway List.
American Tobacco the Exception on
the announcement of n New
Issue of stock.

New York March During the greater
part Of the day the stock market was in a
process OF slow decline, yet except in a
few cases the net losses were not psrticu-
larly severe. Throughout the day num-
ber of stocks showed a substantial degree
of resistance 10 the markets general tend
ency, and, indeed. there were only few
cases where the pressure was actually pro-
nounced. II was as difficult 10 account
specifically for the heaviness OF the general
market. The active workers for reac-
tion made much ado OF the slightly firmer
money market and talked ominously of the
discrimination making by the tanks
against the Industrial stocks: but as a
matter of fact the latter were no weaker
than the railway list. and as further
matter Of fact the discrimination against
the industrials is no more discriminating
than il is against many OF the railway
''fancies."
While many of the banks advanced the
rates Of outstanding loans to 3 per cent,
money was in abundant supply at that ng-
ure, and much OF the days new borrowing
was effected under that rate. The day s
dealings attained fairly large total not
withstanding protracted periods of dull
ness. Apart from the Industrial stocks the
most active issues were the granger
Union Pacific. The last two named were
comparatively firm throughout the day
while the granger shares and the Atchi
sons We're freely sold by the professional
element, who apparently succeeded in
reaching stop-loss orders from time to
time Manhattan Railway was fairly act

eral list. The other local traction stocks
including Metropolitan Street Railway and
Brooklyn Rapid Transit, were weak.

uniformity with the railway list Amer

opinion of other good authorities.
With few rallies, and these OF no i'm

closed near the bottom. The declines va
ried from fraction TO five or six points
and in numerous cases the lowest prices
for the movement were reached. This was
especially noticeable in the standard

time heretofore. In the face of such CON
ditions, with heavy selling of long stocks
and big drives by the shorts, there is Ger

The talk is still general that the iron

the next advance, and especially Federal
Steel preferred. The common Federal
Steel went OFF nearly two points yesterday
to 40 and fraction, and the preferred
declined fractionally. The Steel and Wire
stocks did better, though no net gain for
the day was made. All of these stocks
should sell higher on the prospects of the
company, but the market is in a delicate
condition and without doubt there is a
prejudice in many quarters against any
thing that can be called trust" So that

Shook His Fist at QUITS.

Columbia State, Thursday: Mr.. D..
NJ. Miles yesterday met Mr.. D. A. G..
QUITS in front of the Jerome hotel, and
after abusing him roundly, shook his
fist in Mr.. QUITS face. Mr.. Miles is
chairman of the state board of control.
Mr.. QUITS is the ex-bookkeeper. Mr..
Miles statement is that he heard that
QUITS was preparing to further assail
his (Miles) record and character. This
was the first good opportunity he bad
had to resent what Mr.. QUITS had said
previously. In the presence of Sheriff
McCravy, of Laurens, and Shipping
Clerk Black, of the state dispensary,
and other witnesses, Mr.. Miles accosted
Mr.. QUITS, told him not to publish any
more lies on him (Miles) and called
QUITS scoundrel and other bad names.
Mr.. Miles says that Mr.. QUITS took a
step backward as if to get his pistol
and called Mr.. Miles coward. The
latter told Mr.. QUITS that if be drew
his pistol be would be killed, and, rub
bing his fist under Mr.. QUITS nose,
called him more very, very naughty
names. That was all of it.

The British Have Their Hopes Conferred on
Operations of Butler.
The daily papers of Friday morning
contained no news of sensational de.
velopments in South Africa.
A London dispatch of 4 a. N. yes
terday, said that the Kafir accounts
of heavy fighting around Ladysmith
are not altogether groundless. 1t also
said that General Butler expected to
start for the relief of Ladysmith on
November 16.
A powerful siege train is being mob
ilized at Woolwich, England, to 60 to
the Transvaal. 1t is especially intend
ed for use in the reduction of Pretoria,
the Boer capital, if the British should
get that far along with their operations.
The Beers have destroyed many
miles of railroad in the Orange Free
State, and created so much havoc gen.
orally that it cannot be repaired with
in six months. This is calculated to
greatly retard General Buffers inva-
sion.

TUESDAYS ELECTIONS.
Ohio Republican, Nebraska Fusion, Ken
lucky In Doubt.

Ohio Republican, Nebraska Fusion, Ken
lucky In Doubt.
The returns from the various states
in which elections were held last Tues
day, generally show Republicans vic
tories, especially in the states where
the Democrats were entertaining strong
hopes of success.
The campaign in Ohio has been a
most vigorous one-the Republicans
fgh'ing along the lines of expansion
and gold standard, and the Democrats
against Imperialism and for free coin
age of silver. Large sums of money
were spent on both sides. The returns
indicate the election of Nash, Repub-
lican, for governor, over Mclean, by a
majority of about $4,000. The total
vote of the state was in the neighbor-
hood of 900, 900, and of these Jones re-
ceived about 100000. The Republicans
carry the general assembly also.
The Kentucky campaign was espe-
cially exciting, and the result so close
that there will be contest over it
either way it may appear on the face
of the returns. The Democrats are
claiming the election of Goebel, and
the Republicans are claiming the elec-
tion of Taylor. 1t is likely that the
plurality either way will not be more
than 5000, and if the Republicans win,
it will be on account of the Indepen-
dent Democratic vote. The friends OF
Blackburn claim that there is no doubt
of the fact that the legislature is Dem
ocratic on joint ballot; but it is quite
likely that the anti Goebelites will
have the balance of power, and there
seems to be little hope that Blackburn
will be elected TO the senate.
In Nebraska there was fusion be-
tween the Democrats and Populists,
and this fusion ticket won by a plural
ity of about 10000.
Mississippi, of course, went Demo
cratic by the usual majority. South
Dakota gave the Republicans plural
ity of about 1000. New Jersey is Re-
publican by not less than 10000. Tam
many won in New York city, and de-
feated Mazet. The Republicans gain
ed IA assemblymen in the state. The
Maryland Democrats elected John
Walter Smith governor by ma
jority of about 10000. The Republi'
can majority in Pennsylvania was con
siderably reduced, and Virginia went
overwhelmingly Democratic.
