4 QUIET DAY IN STOCKS
Scattering Liquidation Produces a
Dull Market.
Little Support I'm Any Quarter. and
Selling Orders Frequent-Rise i'm
sylvania's Dividend Declaration
The Industrials Extremely Weak.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The days stock
market was extremely dull and irregular
For the most part the tendency was a
sagging one. scattering liquidation being
reported in many quarters Of the market
with little support showing anywhere.
The bulk of the selling seemed to be by
commission houses and it doubtless re-
fected the general disposition to close
up weak accounts over the election.
The closing of the London stock mar
ket over the usual November / holiday
served to intensity the dizziness exist
ing in the local dealings. The Bank OF
Englands rate of discount was left un-
changed at 4 per cent, and the weekly
statement of the bank showed effectively
a trifiing decline from last week in per-
centagc of reserve to liabilities. This
mornings news and the days develop
ments comprised little or nothing with
any bearing upon the general stock mar
ket. Money market conditions were some
what frmer and foreign exchange rates
were not materially altered.
IL
for anthracite coal that was announced.
together with the days returns of railway
traffic and the dividend declaration on
Pennsylvania Railroad stock constituted
about all the news bearing upon particular
securities. The directors of the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company declared an
extra dividend of I per cent in addition
TO the regular semi-annual rate of 1-2
per cent. Their action was a surprise to
the financial community at large, as no
change in the rate had been expected at
this time.
1t is, of course, obvious to any observ-
er of the current earnings of the load
that the extra payment was fully justi-
ned thereby, but, as noted. in all the cir
cumstances of the situation. no advance
in the rate had been looked for at this
time. While the stock was very strong
feature Of the market its quotations, in
other speculative circumstances, would,
doubtless, have given more pronounced
reflection to the matter than was The
case today
Other comparatively firm features of the
railway list were Norfolk and Western,
Southern Pacific, and the grangers. The
strength of Norfolk and Western may
have been induced by considerations sug-
gested by the days action upon the Penn
sylva1ia dividend coupled with the re-
cent dividend declaration on Chesapeake
and Ohio The Alton issues were the weak
features of the railway list, but there was
little activity apart from the instances
mentioned. The local traction shares
were very heavy and the industrial quar-
ter for the most part was reactionary.
The slight advance in rates for money
on call was owing wholly to the shifting
OF loans incidental to the disbursements
OF the first OF the month and it had DO
other significance. The stock market con-
tinued exceedingly dull throughout the
day and price movements did not lose
their irregularity. No features of spec
ial interest developed in the later DEAL,
ings.
The times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1897-1901, 1900-11-02

There was a fair strength in the stock
market yesterday. and one or two securi-
ties. affected by special conditions, made
good advances. Business was dull, how
ever. and the outlook not particularly al
Turing for any betterment before election.
II would not surprise conservative people
greatly If there should be decline today
or BY Mondays close on the election pros
poets. This, however will not be very
large according to careful people. If the
decline fails to materialize before election,
II will come later next week, in all prob
ability. Even then IL is not expected to
be a serious matter. All intrinsic condi-
lions point resumption of the advance in
prices and Of the wide market in the near
future. Money is easier rather than
tighter this week. and the prospect is that
the continuance of the flow of gold toward
this country from the East and West will
result in lower rates al! winter. The bank
statement tomorrow should be good one
and its figures are giving no. one any anx-
iety- The cash In the banks is undoubted-
ly larger than 1t was a week ago and the
loans have not been increased. The extra
dividend in Pennsylvania, declared yester-
day, Is a bull factor.
Pennsylvania was the feature of the
market yesterday, as the statement OF the
company for September and the action of
the directors in declaring an extra divi-
dend were the subject Of most Of the Cos
zip OF the street. The stock has been
strong for two or three days. apparently
on account OF advance knowledge of the
dividend by come OF the insiders. Yester-
day 1t shot up sharply and rapidly. con-
sidering the dizziness Of the general market
It advanced to 1856 in the first hour. and
before noon reached IS high as 1856 L.
Later in the day il sold of to 136, the clos
ing price. The immediate course of the
stock may show a reaction, especially IL
the general market is not strong. but this
action Of the directors ensures higher
level for It in the future. There is no
reason why it should not sell at $50. and
many careful people expect to see it at
that level before long; maybe higher The
dividend declared was the regular ccmi-
annual one Of 2 1-2, and an extra diyi-
dend OF per cent, which makes the .ota1
for the year 6 per cent Although this ac-
tion had been predicted in this column it
was q surprise to the street generally.

ing steadily. and the extra viii. be con-

THE CHICAGO CHAIN MARKET.
Wheat Closes Weak After an Irreg-

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-Wheat market opened
weak on the decline in Liverpool. There
was q rally later in anticipation of DAM
age to the Argentine crop, nut the market
would not hold and declined again to
about the opening prices, closing almost a
cent lower tnan last night. There was
some fair commission house buying early.
Liverpool closed 3-S65-Sd lower Pri
mary receipts were lighter, 100000 BUSH
els less than last years cleazances. whien
were $4,000 bushels. The cash demand
here was slack, 100000 bushels taken, ana
the seaboard reported Il loads
The corn market was steady. the fea-
turs being the buying Of November by re-
ceiying houses. The deferred futures were
neglected. Commission house interest in
the market is very small. There were
rains in the Southwest, but clearing
weather is predicted for the entire West
ern country. Country acceptances were
light and the cash demand was slow. Cash
receipts were only 21S cars. with 1875 es-
timated for tomorrow. Shipments from
here were heavy.
Oats were firm, business being confined
to local scalping operations. The cash de-
mand was slow. Today's receipts were 126
cars, with ITO for tomorrow.
Provisions had a good advance and
closed firm at the improvement. The hog
market was higher, there were no deliv-
cries on November contracts. and the
monthly statement of stocks here is ex-
pected to make very bullish showing
These influences induced fair Investment

bears as an argument against Manhattan
on the ground that serious and costly dam

CAsMEWs STRANGE FARES.
Eccentric Folk Who Were Liked by
London .Jehus.

Some years since an elderly spinster
named DOckerill left all her money to q
nephew cOnditiOnally on his daily taking
a two hours cab drive, a mode of pro-
gression to which, it seems, she had been
very partial. Were he however, by any
chance to miss this drive, if only for one
day, the property was to be divided
among her other relations Despite their
utmost vigilance, however, the latter
have as yet never detected the legatee
transgressing the conditions of the will,
for even when on one occasion he had the
misfortune to break his leg he managed
to extemporize a couch within a four
wheeled cab, on which he took his COM
pulsory airing.
The greatest pleasure of a certain &C.
centric bachelor who died some years
since was a drive around London in a
cab, and in this he was wont daily to in
dulge himself. One morning he met with
a severe accident that necessitated the
amputation of a leg. This he had en-
balmed and when sufficiently well to con-
tinue his favOrite exercise never missed
taking it with him for his drives. In
course of years he became bedridden,
and still every morning the cab drove up
to his door, and, though he himself was
no longer in a condition to be it's occu-
pant, the embalmed leg was placed with
in to be taken for a two hours drive
One hot August day, however, the
driver, having incautiously left his vehi-
Gle unguarded, had slipped into a hostelry
to quench his thirst, and some one, igno-
rant of the contents of the parcel lying
on the seat, decamped with the ''fare." "
Needless to say it was never recovered,
so that cabby lost an excellent patron.
'"The most extraordinary fare" said a
cabman the other day to the writer,
"that ever had was-a ghost! 1t hap
pened thus: One evening some ten years
back I was called to a house in M
Crescent. A gentleman came out and said
he wanted me to take his brother for an
hours drive. Then, standing aside, as
though to make way for some one to
pass, he bade me drive on.
But the gentleman? asked.
"'Oh, he's insider he replied.
" I'm blest if l see him. l said.
Perhaps not he answered. He died
last month. Drive on
Il drove round for an hour, returned,
received my fare and was told to call
next day, and every day for two years, at
the end of which time the gentleman was
removed to an asylum, did I drive his
brothers ghost."-London Tit-Bits.
