THE STOCK MARKET

New York. Nov. 5.-The stock mar ket today gave plain signs of feeling the effect of the speculative pace which was set for it yesterday. and became unsettled and hesitating in the course of the days businsgs. The total or that business fell away considerably in the aggregate of yesterday and the de- crease evidently marked the satisfac- ton of the first eager speculative real- ization induced by the election. Stocks were fed out freely to meet the demand from the outset. All bids were filled promptly according to the purpose to pression thus made of the market hav- Ing arrived at a stage that discounts the favorable factors was empnasizea nouncenent of the plan for disburslng $1l.26 extra profits on each share of old Northern Pacific stock. the new cent of subscriptions ia payable in January not sharing in the melon" Northern Pacific itself had sold as high as t50 i-2 after the opening, but nouncement and did not rally to above 149 l2 afterward. The supposed in tention to declare this dividend has been speculative influence in the the present year and has been so often declared to be imminent. only to be proved lacking, that distrust of the ru- mors that had grown up in the specu- HaS wary of the reports of the Intended action even today. The constant ru- mors regarding the dividend have pointed 1te to 10 per cent as the amount. and the certificates for the new stock were kept about that far apart. The uncertainty on the subject has been James J. Hill discreditlng the reports of an intended extra dividend which leave the impression that It's deciara- ton was opposed bx the most influen- property. This was ascrlbed to the opinion that so large an extra dis bursement at this time would prove lmpolitie on the part of company contesting efffforts for legal reduc- tion of rates of compensation and seeking to secure higher rates for freight transportation.

MARKET STILL DULL TAFT's ELECTION GIVES NO ADVANCE
 TO COTTON. Prices Quoted Thursday Merely Nominal aa Few Bales Were Sold Through Eacters-Everybody Stir Building
 On Hope.

And the dullness still enveIops the cotton market. despite the election of Mir. Taft. and the promise of good times which wero 3oFetDId to result from his being seated in the Presidential chair But it's not Mir TaftE fault There is still that depressing lack of demand which holds down the price and the salea.
 Cotton was quoted at sEc for niddlinE Thursday, the spot market being somewhat sag in the Liverpool market
 But the cotton men still hold forth the hope for the demand, and that it will come soon It all depends. of course. the call for cotton goods. which creates the sale of the raw staple But the dry goods market ta off, and therefore the sales to mills are practically nothing. The manufacturers buy Just enough to keep themselves going. and walt for call for their goods to purchase more extensively.
 One farmer familiar with conditions, it all cotton growers advance a sufficient amount of dry goods to the blow, say $90 worth. that the sale would create demand for dry goods. and an increased price for the raw staple that would mora than conn pensate him for his outlay in advances However, that looks risky to some, who are fearful that the spinners will not re- spond to the sale with an increase in out put.
 Meanwhile. owing to the lack of demand st is dull Few bales are being sold through CTS ns examples not having disbursed one single bale for the past few days. A few desultory buyers look at the outlay of sta pie. offer the quoted price. but are tunned down, as the s&c does not look good to the seller.

 The Jackson county exhibit at the State Industrial Exposition at Jackson took sixty premiums besides the grand prize for having the best county ex- hibit.
 This county furnished a large share of the agricultural exhibit and the fact has caused much comment among the people from other sections of the State who wonder how 1t is possible for one county to provide such a variety of products.

Four Courtship SUNDAYS.

The four Sundays of November are
observed as fete days in Holland. They
are known by the curious names Re
view, Decision, Purchase and Posses
sion, and all refer to matrimonial af-
fairs, November IN Holland being the
month par excellence devoted to court
ship and marriage, probably because
the agricultural occupations of the year
are over and possibly because the lords
of creation from quite remote antiQui-
ty have recognized the pleasantness of
having wives to cook and cater for
them during the long winter.
On Review Sunday everybody goes
to church, and after service there is IA
church parade in every village. when
the youths and maidens gaze upon each
other, but forbear to speak
On Decision Sunday each bachelor
who is seeking a wife approaches the
maiden of his choice with a ceremoni-
Gus bow and from her manner of re-
spending Judges whether his advances
are acceptable. Purchase Sunday the
consent Of the parents is sought if the
suit has proSpered during the week.
