HIS DOWNFALL A LESSON TO US.

p EALIZING that his chance OF reelection
~ to the Senate by the New Jersey Legisla-
ture has vanished John f. Dryden has with
drawn from the race. His physicians have de-
clared that the Strain is too much for his strength
Mr., Dryden is thus let out of what must have
been a hopeless contest. The independent Re
publicans who refused to support Dryden show
ed no signs of yielding and without them he
could not win. 1t is surprising, indeed, that Mr.
Dryden made such determined fight for re-elec-
ton after the region of the State where he lived
had so Overwhelmingly repudiated him-his
party going down to a crushing defeat in Essex
county, in which the city of Newark is located
The retirement of Dryden is due to the sent-
ment that has been prevailing in New Jersey and
elsewhere against the domination OF high hnan-
ciers and corporations The Republicans of New
Jersey will now have an opportunity to free
themselves from the influences that almost cost
the party the Legislature at the last election and
would have been certain to encompass its defeat
at the next election. In this there is an object
lesson to the Republicans of Delaware.

WALL STREET
MARKET OPENS DULL WITH
TRIVIAL PRICE CHANGES.
In First Hour Stocks Weaken, st. Paul
Leading in the Decline, Which
Affects Many Others.

NEW YORK, Nov. 1a-Trivial price
changes and a very light volume of bust
ness were in evidence when the stock
market opened today. The small gains
and losses were quite evenly divided. Bal
timore and Ohio rose y and American
Sugar fell a point.
II a. m.-The demand for stocks did not
prevail long, and the market turned weak.
The severest pressure conferred on st. Paul,
but there were also large inroads made on
the prices of a dozen other representative
stocks. st. Paul declined 2, American Can
preferred III, Union Pacific, Reading, Can
adam Pacific and New York Central ia,
sand Pennsylvania, Illinois Central. Anal
gamated Copper, American Smelling and
I u. S. Steel preferred l. U. S. Rubber I'd
preferred gained 2%. Manhattan 2 and
American Car preferred IL.
II m.-Prlces continued to recede before
light offerings. st. Paul led the decline
with a loss of 3h, Canadian Pacific 8.
Rock Island preferred Sss, Reading and
American Smelling about 2, Union Pa
cihc ia, u. S. Steel preferred 1Ss, Della
ware and Hudson, Pennsylvania, National
Lead and Western Union ~, and the ma
jority of the active list or more. Bonds
were irregular. Heavy selling of Chicago.
Rock Island and Pacific As broke the
price, AS.
D. m.-The market did not go any 1--WE
after midday, but neither did 1t recover
much when the traders stopped offering
down the leaders. Business for the most
part was practically at . standstill and
confined largely to a handful of stocks
usually the most active. U. S. Realty
broke Z points, thereby surrendering most
of yesterdays sensational rise. Pacific
Coast also gave way 31s, and Westing-
house Electric 9.
2 p. m.-Large selling orders were put
out in New York Central, Union Pacific
and the u. S. Steel stocks, and when
they went off rapidly they dragged the
general market down to the owest level
of the day. U. S. Steel sinking funds IS
also were heavily sold and declined 2
points. Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific
collateral 5s were affected by the liquida-
ton of the As and broke 3A. The losses
in stocks included S points in Westing-
house Electric, AZ in st. Louis and San
Francisco second preferred, 2h in New
York Central and u. S. Steel preferred,
2A in Union Pacific and Atlantic Coast
Line, 2 In aBltimore and Ohio preferred,
Peoples Gas and American Sugar, and 1as
in U. 8. Steel. Norfolk and Western ad-
vanced a point,
3 p. m.-The market closed weak, at the
low level. A rally in the final hour seemed
due to covering operations to take profits
by the room shorts, and the decline was
resumed in the late dealings. The fall in
Reading and American Smelling reached
"a and in Pennsylvania, u. s.. Steel and
Consolidated Gas 2.

witnesses before the Grand Jury to-
day in the investigation which the

Street Company, which owned nothing
but a paper franchise, for $965, 900, of
which he kept $3.50. 900 and paid SILL

president of the Metropolitan Securi-
ties Company, Thomas F. Ryan, Will
liam L. Elkins, P. A. 3. Widener and
Thomas Dolan. Evidence has been
given that the bulk of the money was
returned to Mr.. whitney.

THE COTTON MARKET.

NEW YORK, Nov. 19.-The cotton mar
ket opened steady at a decline of 10 points
to an advance of 5 points, with December
showing the maximum loss under what
seemed to be a bear raid which many
thought to have been undertaken with a
view to a covering basis for the later
months, as there was a good demand for
these positions from brokers supposed to
operate for leading bear interests. After
the opening December rallied sharply, and
the general list sold about 2 to 6 points net
higher on covering and bull support. but
later fluctuations were irregular, and dur
ing the middle of the morning prices were
about 5 to 6 points net lower. Cables
were lower. but had little influence at the
opening, although accompanied by pre-
dictions of a strike in Lancashire. Early
spot news from the South seemed rather
bullish.
The market was quiet, but steady late in
the forenoon, with prices at midday about
2 points net higher.
