Decline in Price of Grains.

O6Cl10S 6I1C0 VI 1I&44os
The big decline in the price of wheat,
corn and oats since 1t became possible
to measure production may have de-
terring effect on the plans of southern
cotton planters, made ambitious to extend
their area. Reports from the south which
are being received in New York all tell
of plans for greatly increasing cotton
acreage in the hope OF another year OF
Is cents a pound for the staple.
decline Of 20 cents a bushei In the three
leading cereals as a result of bumper
crops has not yet seeped into the con-
sciousness of the south, apparently, for
indications still point to settled deter
mination to go ahead with the project Tor
production of the great cash crop OF that
region.
One fthe things which the next Con-
gress is very likely to take up Will be
the practice of generalization OF checks
by New York banks. Disclosures in con-
nection with the bankruptcy inquiry into
the affairs Of stock exchange houses that
went under by reason of their part in
Hooking Coal and Iron overspeculation
have directed attention to this wholesale
violation Of the law which cannot be
ignored.
Law Is Very Stringent.
The law is very strict against over
certifying checks. and 1t does not
appear that the subterfuges adopted by
the New York banks and stock exchange
houses exempt them from the charge OF
actual criminality. II this fragrant eva.
sion o fthe law could be stopped

doubt interfere seriously with the OPP
erations on the stock exchange and
might cut down the volume Of transac.
tons half or more. It would beyond q
doubt compel an entire reconstruction OF
the system of speculation and might re-
suit In a scheme something like that
which is followed on the London Stock
Exchange, where settlements are made
every fortnight. Enforcement of the Law
will be q good thing in any event, and
there is very little doubt that the next
Congress will make an earnest effort al
reform In that particular. The scheme
will be very popular in all parts of the
country except south Of Fulton street.

KEEPING EYES ON EUROPE
BANKS HEAVY CASH GAINS

NEW YORK, November 1.-THE specu-
tation in stocks displayed very little initia-
tive today. Prices moved sluggishly and
indicisively. The severe decline after the
election and the rebound which followed
seemed to have reduced the commitments
pressing for immediate settlement to in
significant proportions.
Today there was no urgent pressure of
liquidation. and on the other hand de-
nand was Indifferent. Final prices show
ed insignificant changes from last night.
British Crisis Important.
The British political crisis Is regarded
as important in its possible bearing on in
ternational money relations. The advance
today in the private discount rate In Lon
don showed In what direction the infiu-
ence might become directly effective. The
more complaisant attitude of foreign
lenders OF money to American borrowers,
which was becoming manifest, Is likely, it
is believed, to be modified in the new
situation presented The tendency of Inn
portant government loans in foreign
pected to make requirements felt in the
money market.
Easing of the money market in New
York has ENCOURAGED large extensions of
speculative commitments in stocks. The
resources thus offered In loans are sus-
pected to be the proceeds Of sales Of
stock HOLDINGS on large scale by inter-
ests often prominent In stock market
operations.

Industries Will Not Quit.

Likewise the industrials will keep open
doors and open shutters, although posi-
bly, they might not be doing quite as
much as in good times. The 1000 600
people of the United States will continue
to exist. A majority of them will go
right along eating three meals day and
sleep under roofs on mattresses.
In sober earnest there Is more proba-
bility Of prolongation Of business con-
striction than there is of expansion and
Immediate return of full-blown prosper
ity. The steel and iron trade, which
people are in the habit of mentioning
as the best barometer Of industrial con-
ditions. has fewer orders on its books
than at any time since its organization
nine years ago. In that time its ca
pacity has more than doubled. II there
is anything encouraging in this exhibit
students OF the situation would be very
glad to have it explained. What Is true
In regard to the iron and steel trade is
true also with many other manufacturing
departments. There are exceptions, or
course. and real encouragement can be
found in electrical manufacturing, in
wooden and cotton goods, in the boot and
shoe trade and In the concerns that are
producing staple articles of day-by-day
consumption.

Caused a Semi-Panic.

An ingrowing consciousness of the &C
tual situation caused a sort of semi-panic
during the afternoon Of the day follow
ing the election. Prices of most OF the
active stocks broke from to 3h points
and the light-waisted traders who had
been figuring on a great boom that was
to be INSPIRED by the downfall Of radical
ism in politics were scared to death.
Stocks came on the market in a Hood and
a mass of stop-loss orders were caught.
Overnight reflection gave the market a
better tone Thursday and the big people
who have been behind the bull campaign
Of the last six weeks gave substantial
support to values, but not enough to pre-
vent a further loss of ~ to ~ points,
which was followed by partial recovery.
Apparently the strong friends Of the
market are not going to let 1t go to

their allies in Congress and throughout
the country are going to do something

Special Correspondence of The Star.
NEW YORK. November II. 1910.
Well, the election has gone into history
and the spectators appear to be about
as much at sea as to consequences as they
were before the balloting began At first
blush it looked as though the market
might go right up through the ceiling in
q grand jubilee celebration over the down
fail of koOsevel,ism.
That was the view Of the situation that
was taken in London, which opens up for
business two or three hours ahead Of us.
Later on there came the SOLDERING second
thought that while Rooseveltism might
have been checked, even checkmated.
there was the offsetting circumstance OF
a new Congress overwhelmingly commit
ted to tariff revision and to a general un-
yelling of the iniquities of the party in
power for the past eight or ten years.
The new regime is, in fact, committed to
a program of all kinds of disturbance and
trouble, and although it will not come
into power for more than g. year, there is
the always overhanging feeling that it is
going to WELD the AK and turn on the
light at the very earliest opportunity.
