How the New Broom sweeps.

One weeks record OF new railroad
equipment shows a total of $500 cars
of different kinds distributed amSng
eight different roads. In addition four
other roads have put in orders for
total of twenty-three engines. 1t is
this sort of thing which has been re-
ported almost every week, in the news
of the railroads, for many months
back. There seem to be no signs of a
let-up, but, the contrary, the de-
mand for more equipment by the rail-
roads, which demand is only a by
product of the increasing demand for
all kinds of American products, con-
tinues to be steady The Ding1ey law,
like the proverbial new broom, swept
clean; and in a very brief space of
time freed US from the want and idle
ness and poverty which free trade had
brought upon us, and, unlike the new
broom, It grows more effective as ii
grows older As it and the protection
which it gives to American industries

CONTRACTION IN TRADING
The Market Fairly Strong in Spite
of Limited Dealings.
Attention Largely Monopolizcd by
the Political Situntfon-LondOn Not
n Fnctor-Firmness in the Railway
Lfst-A Rcnctionnry Tendency
Toward the Close of the Day.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31.-Speculation in
the stock market contracted materially
today. but the market retained the firm
tone which characterized it yesterday. 1t
needs hardly to be said that speculative
interest and discussion were wholly mon
opoiized by the political situation. In the
stock market there was an evident indis-
position to extend commitments in either
direction, and. as outside interest was
virtually suspended, the days dealings
footed up the smallest aggregate of any
for several weeks past
London was not a factor of any account
in this market, although the American
quarter of the London market was report
ed, and the smaller balance of dealings
here foi foreign account was on the buy
ing side. Foreign houses continued to sell
Northern Pacific, but they bought moder-
ately in other cases. Firm features Of the
railway list were the granger shares,
notably ST. Paul, Pennsylvania, Southern
Railway preferred and Baltimore and
Ohio. The dealings in Southern Pacific
cont inued in large volume, but were not
of the conspicuous character of those of
yesterday.
The magnificent statement of earnings
submitted by the Pennsylvania Company
may have accounted for the strength
shown in that instance, and another infiu-
ence in the dealings was, probably, the
fact that the directors meet tomorrow to
declare the semi-annual dividend on the
stock.
Sugar Refining was the feature of the
industrial quarter of the market, and
was very strong, with nothing particular
in the way of news or gossip attending
its course. Apart from Sugar, the in
dustrial quarter was extremely dull. and
the general movements there were in line
with those of the remainder OF the list.
Among the specialties, Tennessee Coal
and Iron was weak and Peoples Gas was
but little affected by the announcement of
the declaration of the usual quarterly
dividend upon the stock. The local trac-
tion shares were firm and comparative
ly active.
In the last hour of business the market
developed generally reactionary ten
dency, which was not, however, accounted
for by any novel developments of impor-
lance.
Peoples Gas was particularly weak and
Sugar Refining and the local traction is
sues declined rapidly. The trading was,
however, altogether for professional ac-
count, and there seemed to be no liQuida-
ton by commission houses.
