EDITOR BALKs SHERIFF.
streeter Gets an Injunction to Stop Sale of
His Effects.

streeter Gets an Injunction to Stop Sale of
His Effects.
The Sheriff's hammer which threatened
to fall upon the newspaper, cider mill
and other effects of John J. Streeter, the
Vineland editor, who is going through
the agony of defending his claim to the
Dexter estate, will not fall for at least
some months to come. Yesterday Vice
Chancellor Grey, in Camden. granted the
applications of Streeter's counsel for an
injunction restraining the sale. The
ground for the injunction is somewhat
unique. Some four or five years ago
Streeter gave bond and mortgage for
500 to one Seigman, of Vineland, the
bond stipulating that the debt should be
paid out of the real estate at the expira-
tion of the mortgage. It was alleged that
this real estate has since become ex-
hausted through partition of the estate the
bond and mortgage are nulliff1ed.
It is now likely that Streeter will have
no further trouble with the Sheriff, for he
is confident of the result of the litigation
of the will Of the late Caroline Dexter,
who left him all her estate. The EDITORS
case is in the hands of former Judge
Howard Carrow, of Camden, and w. W.
Benthal, of Vineland. and the way in
which it has gone so far seems to indi-
cate the ultimate result in Streeter's
favor. Those who have watched the case
say that all the testimony so far brought
out has been in Streeter's favor.

THE MARKET ELSEWHERE.

New York, Nov. 1.-Today's stock
market developed a decidedly spotty
character. The railways fell into the
background again and the highly spec
ulative industrials were brought for
ward into activity. An effort was
made to continue the campaign against
the shorts in the iron and steel stocks
but the higher prices in this group
brought out such large sales that the
efforts to advance prices had to be
abandoned. The whole group with the
exception of Tennessee Coal shows net
losses. The latter stock. after drop
ping to l161a rose strongly to 119 and
held there,
When the movement in the Iron and
Steel stocks proved abortive the bulls
turned their attention to Brooklyn
Transit, which was a favorite in spec
uiatton the rest of the day The move
ment In this stock was again directed
against the very heavy short interest,
believed to exist in it, and the rapid
advance induced large covering. When
the rise had extended to above 90
enormous blocks were brought out
which made it difficult to sustain the
prices. The stock rose to 9O1s, yielded
point, rallied again, and yielded a
small fraction. The New York trac-
ton group was strong in sympathy
The leather stocks were also taken up
for a further aggressive advance, the
common touching 49, and the preferred
S3%. Sugar was active and irregular,
but shows net gain The Tobacco
stocks were weak early but rallied lat

the Missouri Kansas and Texas, Cleve-
land, c. C. c. and ST. Louis preferred.
The Pacific coast stocks, the Wisconsin

Standard Rope, which We're all strong.
Otherwise the trading was not very
active and the movement of prices was
narrow, but chances being small and
mixed. Owing to the holiday in Lon
don pressure from that point was re-
Taxed.
The call money market worked APP
probably easier during the afternoon.
After having ruled at Is to 20 per cent.
Large amounts were loaned at per
cent at the close, The easier rate for
money did not induce any large ven
lures on the long side in stocks but the
bears were manifestly uneasy and anx-
ious to cover short lines before the
stringency in money relaxes. Today's
advance in sterling exchange is believ-
ed to be evidence of a relaxation in
the money stringency and New York
exchange at Chicago and St. Louis
was strong today, showing a cessa-
ton of pressure. Boston, on the con-
trary, had a sharp decline in New
York exchange.
