words introduced Mr.. Ogden to the ar-
dience. His discourse was received
with great applause.
Mr.. Lough then occupied the floor
for the rest of the evening. dealing
with political matters In such a man
ner as to cause applause time after
time. His talk was Of great beneat to
the voters, but was interesting to wo-
men as well.
The drum corps from Viola was

warm greeting, also a merry send-ofr.
Our voters are expecting the Re.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-Ah over tie

morrow is election day. csmmts.
sioner Bingham has completed his
plans for policing all the polling
places. The election officials have
made all arrangements for the ballot,
ing. The campaign managers, ma.
tIonal and State, are having the busI
est day of their lives. All sorts Of
wild runners are being circulated and
an air of subducd excitement per.
vades the city. Rallies and stump.
speaking meetings are scheduled for
all sections OF the metropolis tonight
and the party spell-binders will make
IA last frenzied attempt to arouse tie
voters to enthusiasm.
While the saloons and safes will
have a period Of inactivity tomorrow,
the mash registers and barkeepers
will probably be worked overtime In
the evening. For thousands of New
Workers, election night is always the
occasion for q debauch, and the con.
ing holiday will doubtless not be an.
exception. !,
The newspapers have made their
usual arrangements for announcing
bulletins. and the news tlasled over
the wires from every nook and cor.
ner of the land will be shown forth
from scores of places for the benefit
of the huwllng. surging. funlovlng
crowd that always throngs the streets
on election night.
It is the opinion among hotel anil
restaurant projectors and managers
that the coming election night will be
tae biggest" In their records, and
consequently each is striving to gain
for himself the laurel of approval for
bulletining the returns.
In many Of the Broadway restau.
rants most Of the tables already have
ben reserved by dinner and supper
parties and several of the hotels have
announced that admission to the
rooms where returns will be an.
nounced is to be had only by card.
At the Waldorf-Astoria the returns
are to be received in the grand bail.

the ballroom and the returns will be
flashed by stereopticon on a huge
white sheet. The room will hold
about two thousand persons. each OF
the forty-three boxes holding a party
of eight. TIE ballroom will be turn.
ed into a restaurant for the evening,
tables being placed about the malr
floor. Admission will be by card.
At the st. Regis the management
announces that the returns will be
made public by a man who will walk
through the restaurant and cafe every
few minutes. This plan will be
adopted also by the savoy manage
ment.
AT the Plaza telegraph instruments
are to be installed in the Palm Room
and grill, and the results will be
shown by stereopticon. Every effort
is beirg made to insure early and
complete statistics. 1t is estimated
that hundreds of people will thus be
able to get the returns in comfort.
All of the other big restaurants
and hotels have made elaborate ar.
rangements for entertaining guests,
and nothing but wine" will be the
slogan that will go forth at every In.
portant. dining and drinking place in
the big town.

STOCKS REBOUND
 FROM HIGH POINT : American Shelters Lead Break
 In the Market FIGURES ARE TOO HIGH Traders Fear the Advance Has Been Made on Too Unsubstantial
 Basis and Are Ready to Sell Market Down.

New York September 3-Selling or stocks by speculative holders today was induced by the perception that some or the assumptions on which they acquir- ed them were not well founded The consnicuous feature was American Smelling which broke badly in contipua- tion of it's weakness of yesterday. This stock sold over points lower than yes terday's best prices. The contraction Ill the years earnings disclosed in the an- nual report was supplemented as an in- fluence by the small holdings in the name of the present management which appeared at the meeting yesterday. As no action. was taken at that meeting to- wards placing on the board reports of the Standard Oil interests another hoped for source of strength was withdrawn from the stock. Intimations found ere dence that the recent furry in the stock to high price attitudes had been made the occasion for large reduction of these holdings and of those of inside interests rather than for an increase. The prom inent place given to American Smelling in the widely advertised Lawson cam paign made it's example influential in raising fears of similar conditions to be met in other stocks. The metal and in- dustrial groups were most closely affect ed in sympathy and their weakness was aggravated by rumors of pressure to place the copper metal by some of the larger producers at concessions These large producers made mystery of their selling prices so far as general public knowledge is concerned and no reports of quotations from their selling agencies is obtainable.
 The American Smelling episode un- doubtedly has an influence In it's sug- gestion that many things had been granted as to the progress of improve ment by those who had been speculating

on the long side of stocks The July net earnings reports of railroads coming to hand and those of gross earnings for the later weeks of August indicate a slender foundation for the more sanguine esti- mates of the rate improvement. The same is true of the returns from the iron and steel trade, where the revival is going on steadily, but admittedly slowly, On the side of the crops 1t is realized that some revision of the most hopeful estimates must be made. although con tentment with the final promise is still the rule. Deterioration has been suffi- cient, however, to suggest pause in stock speculation based on earlier esti- mates This consideration was reinforced by the signs of uneasiness in the corn market over the reports of light frosts Realization of the importance of de- ferred frosts for satisfactory outcome of the corn crop came into the speculative calculations more clearly.
 Sales of stocks by foreign arbitrage brokers, while not large in proportion to the general market. were of influence on sentiment. Many of these sales were said to come from German sources and the impelling motive was said to be un- easiness over the renewal of the Moroc- can tension. Conditions in the money and exchange markets were little chang ed. Discounts eased in London in spite of large withdrawals of gold from the Bank of England for export. The Bank of Frances return was weaker and dis counts advanced at Berlin. The heavy decline in Readings anthracite tonnage for August, compared with last year, was unfavorable to that stock. American Telephone and Telegraph convertible bonds were active and strong.
 The general bond market was irregu- lar. Total sales, par value, $6,596,O00.
 United States bonds were unchanged ron call.

REACTION NEAR THE CLOSE

New York, September 3.-After mod crate advance at the opening the cotton market turned easier today with the close net unchanged to three points low CT. Sales were estimated at 125,000 bales.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of 5d7 points and during the first few minutes sold to points net high CT on covering buying by houses with English connections, and a demand from reactionists which was encouraged by higher cables than expected and reports of a better feeling in Manchester. The advance carried October up to S.63 or 25 points above the low record of yesterday and at this level offerings increased while the buying here for English ae- count being chiefly against sales in Liverpool was withdrawn after the close of the market and prices consequently eased off after midday. The low point was reached quite late in the day when October sold at $50 or six points net low CT with the close a shade up from the bottom on renewed covering for over the holidays which will be followed by the first census report of the season at the opening on Tuesday morning giving the amount of cotton ginned from the new crop prior to September l.
 The local market will close tomorrow night for over Labor day.
 Southern spot markets reported today were quarter cent lower to 1-16 higher.
 Receipts at the ports today, 11,s31 bales against 10,011 last week and 9,814 last year. For the week, 100000 bales, against T, ,496 last week. and 4S.O22 last year To- days receipts at New Orleans, 5S6 bales, against 80 last year and at Houston 597S, against 1894 last year.
