"A SENSATIONAL
CHARGE BROUGHT
STOCK MARKET ERRATIc.
Speculation Sentiment at standstiIl.
Money Rates Firm.

New York, Nov. THE course OF
stock prices was exceedingly errahc
all OF yesterday and the closing prices
were not far from Wedne sday nights
level. The cCn@ antly varying move
ment was see .ngly due to the crop
ing effects G. the professional opec-
ators to discover the current in the
market. The result Of their expert
1nents seemed to show that there was
no current Speculative sentiment
has, in fact, come to a standstill anc
is waiting for new developments. The
factors which have induced the re-
cent downward tendency or prices
are still in force to greater Or less
extent, but the well established prin-
ciple Of speculative markets to dis
count the future makes it doubtful
when a current movement Of prices
has run an adequate course TO ac-
complish this object. Apprehension
still exists that there will be large
Withdrawals Of gold, with a resulting
squeeze Of money rates in the local
market The advancing tendency of
wages and the high prices Of ma
terial keep alive the uneasiness over
the proportion Of the earnings which
will be left for stockholders. But it
may be possible that the considera-
BILE decline in prices which has al
ready occurred may be sufficient to
discount these possibilities. At all
events the bear operators who have
gone short CT the market took sufii-
cient account Of this possibility TO
want to buy Ctocks to cover their
short contracts. The advances caused
by this buying met renewed selling
Of a rather concentrated character.
The origin Of this. selling was mys-
terry and opinion was divided as 70
whether it came from the bears Or
was further liquidation Of long ac-
counts. The stock most active in the
trading were those which have been
recent favoriteS in the speculation.
There were gains Of l to IL at one
time in about a dozen railroad stocks
and half as many specialties. Cotton
Oil had the benefit Of its dividend
declaration. Sugar broke sharply
after early strength, because Of fears
Of further cut in prices and rumors
Of a rate war at Missouri river points.
The coalers were under some pres
sure, owing to reports Of renewed
troubles at the collieries Of some Of
the Independent operators, and Lack,
awanna suffered in addition on its
showing Of earnings for the Septem-
Der quarter, which revealed a reduc'
ton in net earnings compared with
the corresponding period Of last year
Of $1,7O0000. Money rates were
rather firm and foreign exchange was
also firmly held.

The Election Officers Alledged
That the Returns Were
Altered.
DISTURBANCE AT POLLS CAUSE
Assert Returns Were Tampered With
at Time Polling Place Was A.
tackled by sociaIists-Vote Being
Counted by Court.

| Wilkesbarre. Pa, Nov. 7-There
was a sensation in court last evening
when the members of the election
board Of the middle districSof Wilkes
barre township entered and asked the
judges to make a correction in the
returns from their district, as they
learned they had been tampered with.
The election officers alleged that on
the night Of the election their polling
place was attacked by Socialists, who
claimed they were not getting a
square deal. Inc windows and doors
in the house were broken and the Of
ficers fed. When they returned they
hastily placed the return sheets in
an envelope and sent them to the
.prothonotary's Office. Yesterday they
were told that while they were abb
sent from the polling place the re-
turns were tampered with. An exam
ination Of the returns showed that
they had been altered. The vote OF
James N. Holman, Democratic candi-
date for register, had been. changed
from 81 to 124, and the vote Of his
Republican opponent, John Mainwar-
ing, had been changed from Il to 10.
The $contest between Holman and
Mai1å is very close and it will
take the official vote to decide who IS
elected. The official vote is now be-
ing counted under the direction Of the
Judges Of the court.

Declares Rates Unreasonable.

| A. C. Bird, third vice president OF
the st. Paul road took a bold stand
when the commission began an inveS'
tigation into the rates on cattle and
| packing house products between Chi
| cago and the Missouri river.
Mr.. Bird was the first witness OF
| Importance before the commission,
and when asked if he desired to de-,
fend the reasonableness of the st.
Pauls live stock rates he declared
that they were not reasonable.
Not only are our live stock rates
| unreasonable" ne declared, "but all
our freight rates today are unreason'
| able, because they are entirely toe
low to compensate for the service
rendered. All freight rates should be
raised and | am surprised that the
railroads dent make a combined ef,
fort and raise them"
Members of Commission Surprised.
This statement surprised the mem.
bers CT the commission, and they i'm
mediately started to ascertain Mr..
Birds reasons The witness stated
that it was unfair to take the past
two years as a basis from which to
judge the fairness of rates and the
fairness of the remuneration derived
by the railroads, for during that
period railroading had not, as a gen.
eral proposition, been remuneratiVe.
With respect to cattle rates, Mr.. Bird
asserted that cattle did not now, and
had not for years. paid their just pro-
portion of transportation charges, and
that further to reduce the rates on
cattle would be to make bad situa-
tion worse When asked what gov
erned the scientific making Of rates,
he replied that he had not seen the
time in 25 years when rates could be
made on a scientific basis. On the
contrary, rates are always based upon
competition, comparison and compro-
mise.
The present inquiry is at the insti.
CATION of the Chicago live stock eX-
change, which claims that the lower
rate on packing house products that
exists between Chicago and Missouri
river points, relative to the rate on
cattle, operates. against the Chicago
market. Under prevailing rates,
packers can better afford to convert
the live stock into packing house
products at Missouri river points
than at Chicago. While on the stand
Mr.. Bird explained that he had al
ways deemed it a wise policy to make
as low rate on the raw material as
on the finished products, but that
when rate on the latter, which was
not remunerative, was forced upon
the roads, he did not believe in also
forcing down the live stock rates to
maintain the relations.
