Railroad Prospects.

That Lewiston Is to have ad
ditional railroad facilities within a
short time seems as assured FACT
.as an uncertainty can be.
The Portland O.egonian de
voted column of editorial space
TO the situation in its issue OF Sept.
II, and said:
"All ofsthe new territory involved may
not be opened ct once, but there is every
reason to believe that Portland will be
given an opportunity to do business with
tine rich Clearwater country within a
comparatively short time. Many factors
have contributed to bring about this re-
suit. and not the least are the big crops
which that country has been turning off
for the past few years.
.sNo other locality in the Pacific north
west can show so large wheat yield per
acre for so many acres as is this year in
evidence in Idaho, and practically all Of
the rich traffic has no outlet except by
way Of the Northern Pacific.
"This enormous business cannot have
escaped the attention Of the Hartman
officials, and as their water-level route
no this region of riches gives them a
decided advantage over the other road,
at least half of this traffic would be
quickly brought in thissdirection. Re-
cent Developments in the railroad world
strengthen the belief that the road to
Lewiston, instead of pushing up the
Snake from Riparia, will come down
past Lewiston from point much farther
mp that stream. Salt Lake advices printed
In The Oregonian several days ago stated
that the Lewiston & Owyhee road, which
10 coming down the Snake from Hunting
ton, was Hartman project, and that it
wonid speedily be pushed to completion.
The assurance within the past few days
of a. gentlemen very close to Harri-
man that the Portland merchants would
have an opportunity to do business with
the Clearwater very soon leads to the be-
lief that they are to be given this oppor-
tunity by the completion of the Lewiston
and Riparia branch as portion of the
through line from Huntington to Spo-
kane.
"The intention of Mr.. Hartman to
build from Spokane to Beliingham Bay
hiss already been announced, and the
announcement sanctioned by MIR. Harri-
man personally. It is not local, but
transcontinentai, traffic that he expects
10 handle with the proposed line to Puget
Z Sound. and with the building Of the
Lewiston & Owyhee and the Lewiston
Riparia roads he would have practically
water-level route from Huntington to
Spokane.
"The immense grain crop Of Idaho
wonld be hauled out TO Portland by way
Of Riparta
"The impossibiIity, except at great ex-
pense. of getting freight out of the Clear
water country by any route other than
down the Snake River practically assures
the early completion of this line. and for
:aat reason even more interest is shown
IN the plans of the O. r. & N. regarding
Central and Eastern Oregon
The Oregonian is not wasting
editorial space on day dreams.
Every indication points TO splendid
railroad facilities for this city,
steady increase in population and
gradual development to a city OF
$4,000 or 10000 inhabitants within
q few years.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Nov. 2.-The sluggish
drift of prices in to-day's stock mar
ket had little significance. A number
of factors conduced to the extreme dull
ness. 1t was holiday in London and
Tomorrow will be a holiday here. More
time was given by brokers to betting
on to-morrow's election than to the
trading in stocks.
The advancing tendency of the stocks
of New York corporations reflected the
views of operators of the effect of the
supposed outcome of to-mOrrow's cleo
ton on the values of those securities.
American Car, in face of a reported
decrease of $226,040 in net earnings for
the quarter ended Aug. 81, rose sharply
and carried the other railroad equip
ment stocks with it.
Money continued to go to the inte-
rior, the sub-treasury transferring
$650,000 to New Orleans and 100000 to
Chicago. The movement to st. Louis
was discontinued with a beneficial eff
feet upon sentiment. The rates for
time money hardened decidedly, and
not much business was done under 6
per cent? Call loans, on the contrary
eased notably and fell to per cent.
at the last. The market for foreign
exchange was fairly demoralized and
broke violently under offerings of cot
ton bills with very light demand for
remittance. "A report WHICH circulated
that 81 000, 900 in gold had been en-
gagged in London for shipment to New
York, although not officially confirmed,
was generally credited and formed the
basis of an expectation that further
gold would come in. This was the
dominant influence on the market
which resulted in advances reaching
about a point in a number of the Pa
cities.
The advance in money rates contin-
ued to restrict the business in bonds,
but prices were fairly well maintained,
gains alternating about equally with
losses.

Ware & LeIard,s cottop Letter.

New York, Nov. 1.-The break at the
opening this morning was in the ma
ture of a surprise to the trade. A
break of 5610 points was due on the
failure of Liverpool to advance, but
no one was prepared for what took
place. 1t looked very much as though
the market was opened as low as pos
sible to shake out cotton. In this the
drive was successful. January sold in
large blocks below 1020c. One broker
sold several thousand bales in one
block at 10.17c. Either the broker
failed in his execution, or he was very
successful in making a low price. The
way the market rebounded showed that
there was a mistake somewhere. jan
uary was up to 10000 in no time, and

Quotations Ac lower
Futures opened 16 to rs points lower
than Saturdays closing. Prominent
longs gave the market some support
by heavy buying, which checked the
decline and caused a partial recovery
for a time but later in the session
prices again receded, closing at about
the lowest figures of the day. the net
losses being 80 points on November and
% points on the other positions. The
decline in prices is generally attributed
to failure to occur of the extremely
frosty weather predicted for Sunday
in the western section of the cotton
belt.

Io'2bc was the ruling price most of the
DAY The break was the direct result
OF large movement, better weather
and general disposition to take profits
before the holiday, as the local mar
ket viii be closed tomorrow, and many
feared a break abroad after the adj
vance recently. Just what led to the
heavy selling was hard to determine.
No one appeared to know where the
big buying orders came from last week,
and so to-day selling was a mystery.
The tone of the market was not weak,
though generally reactionary in its ten
dency. The best people in the cotton
business are of the opinion that the
crop is not a big one, and that the
tendency of things will be towards
higher prices later on. In the event
of a good break from 10Ac, we would
not be afraid to begin buying cotton.

New York, Nov. Cotton declined
sharply when the market opened. There
was considerable selling pressure on
account of the failure of predicted low
temperatures to materialize. Then
again the movement was very heavy.
and sellers were very numerous be-
cause the advance had been SO rapid
in fact, too rapid to please conserva-
tive people, who considered the rise
as far from eliminated. The Liver
this, too, scared some holders. Janu-
airy sold down to 10.14c, against 10.4Oc
on Saturday, and other months were
10G20 points lower on heavy transac-
tions. There was good rally after
the opening on shorts covering. Sell
ing orders were withdrawn more
promptly than expected, the consensus
of opinion being that it would be i'm
possible to raise more than would be
needed this season, no matter how
heavy receipts may be. The movement
causes more or less uneasiness, but 1t
should be remembered that we are still
100000 bales behind last year. The
question is, when will this be neutral
lied, if at all Last November's move
ment was 1,76S,000, and just what may
be expected this year is unknown.
Gables were easy, with the close un-
changed from Saturdays figures. Port
receipts, g., 900, against $1,000 last year.
Estimates for tomorrow: Houston
$4,000 to 81 900, against 1884 last year;

COTTON FUTURES.

New York, Nov. 1.-The cotton mar
ket opened weak at a decline of 14@21
points and showed some little further
decline on the call under heavy liuui-
dalton and selling for short account
which was promoted by lower cables
than expected, better weather than
predicted, continued full receipts and
reports that the Far Eastern situation
was assuming a less favorable aspect
Right after the call, however, the
bulls came to the support of the mar
ket and prices We're rallied within s
or 10 points of Saturdays finals after
the market turned less active and dur
ing the balance of the session showed
rather declining tendency, working
back toward the low level of the day
until Just before the close when there
was slight rally on heavy exports
and the market was finally steady, IA
Q20 points lower. Sales were estimat-
ed at 900 bales. The chief activity
was at the opening and just before
the close, the mid-session being gem
orally quiet and without special fea-
ture owing to the holiday tomorrow
which had the effect of curtailing pub
lie operations and the trading conse-
quently seemed for professional ac-
count. The feature of the afternoon
was the selling of a large room opera
tor who was liquidating long cotton
and after these offerings had been alb
sOrbed the market steadied up. Port
receipts for the day reached &C. 234
bales, against 81, 42S bales last year, but
were in turn exceeded by the exports
which reached S6,141 bales. The South
ern spot markets were rather irregular
but generally a little easier. Whining
ton being 1914 points higher, whereas,
the others were generally unchanged
to a lower.
