LIBERTY's LIGHTNING ROD.

The statute of Liberty, in New York
harbor, was recently struck by lightning
and emerged unframed. One bolt struck
the appraised arm and another hit it on
the forehead. The statue is protected
by the finest system of lightning rods
ever made. Lightning is no more dan
gerous than disease, and yet many peo-
pie will protect their homes, while ex-
posing their bodies to this deadly enemy
The best protector in the world is Hos

the system, invigorate the nerves and
enrich the blood. 1t does this by

ance of this important function Weak

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York. Nov 5.-There was very
ardent speculative spirit manifest in the
stock market all day. 1t was depressed
at first by the difficulty of securing &C
commodations in the loan market, but be-
fore the day had closed the market burst
into great animation after following a
relapse in the call loan rate and the
activity continued up to the close, almost
wholly ignoring a recovery in the money
rate about up to the top rate OF
the morning. Taking of quick profits by
room traders made some slight impress
sion ON prices here and there, but the
last prices were generally very near the
top. The feeling in Wall street this morn
ing was that Fridays jump in the call
loan rate had been due to manipulation,
The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1900-11-06

that Saturdays bank statement did not
truly represent the available resources
OF the banks and, in short that all of
the usually trustworthy indications of a
pinch in the money market were mis-
leading and artificial. 1t, was this spirit
that caused Spectators to rush to buy
stocks at the opening. They raised
prices from 1h points over Saturday
level in large number of prominent
stocks within few minutes. Then be-
gan the calling of loans by some of the
banks. Loans made today carry over
until Wednesday, and when spectators
began to look about to find new accom-
modations with which to carry their
holdings of stocks over election day they
ran the call loan rate up rapidly to %
per cent. The first loans were made at
10 per cent. One broker placed $1,000
900 at that rate, another 81 900, 900 at Is
per cent. and then demanded 25 per cent
for $1,000 900 more This suddenly
checked the animation of the stock mar
ket and was followed by period of
contemplation A suspicious feature of
the market at this time was the large
number of transactions for cash and the
small concessions at which these were
quoted. The condition in the money
market, of course. was responsible for
this When the rates for money fell
away to 10 per cent again the specu-
lators very promptly availed themselves
of the resources offered and rushed prices
I'D to the top level of the day. The
strength in the market was very general
and on the whole quite uniform. The
steel stocks the prominent industrials
and the Southern and Southwestern rail-
roads, especially Atchson and Union Pa
cifc, were leaders in point of strength,
with gains ranging from 2 to 212 per cent.
There is no doubt that very considerable
loans ON time were secured last week to
guard against the possibility Of an I'M
settled money market after the election.
The same feeling prompted the withhold
ing funds today for speculative pur-
poses, except on the most approved col
lateral 1t is the belief in Wall street
that money conditions will relax during
the course of the week

(By the Associated Press.)

New York. Nov. 5.-Market conditions
remain unaltered, but very firm. The
nearness of election, coupled with the
smallness of demand, has caused tenn
porary stagnation, but there is firm be-
lief that by the end of the week there
will be a decided difference and many
deals which were in progress will be
pushed to conclusion. No announcements
of future plans, however, will be made
for two or three days. The jobbing trade
is without feature.
COTTON.
New York, Nov. 5.--Today's cotton mar
ket was small one, with the net results
showing no special significance. AS the
greater portion of the trade had made
its pre- election arrangements before sat
urdays closing, and as the speculative
public in general was averse to assuming
new commitments for the present, there
was nothing in the way of activity. On
the first call prices eased off to .
noints in sympathy with rather bearish
conditions in Liverpool. The irregularity
was of short duration, however, as later
advices indicated decided Improvement
abroad in sentiment Light covering ana
some foreign buying were prompted by
reports from the South that farmers were
refusing to sell cotton even at higher
prices, while estimates for the week s
forward movement indicated decided
tapering off from now on. Exporters were
bidding in competition with American
spinners for additional supplies, but ac-
cording to general accounts were not Sc
curing the cotton as readily as hoped

eral points occurred under estimates for
large receipts tomorrow Later fuctua-
lions were limited to bare point or so,
with trading practically at a standstill.

point higher to 2 points lower.

publican action in her behalf because
of his politics. Indeed. II Is doubtful
that Prince David could get dollar

The friends OF Liliuokalani may help
her by voting for Parker; they would
hurt her cause by voting for WILCOX,
they could do her no good by voting for
Prince David. Her one chance for n
pension is Republican chance. There
Is no Independent antl-haole party in
Congress to take up her cause, and the
