NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All

New York, Nov 197-After a temporary
depression prices of stocks rallied, to-
day, and at the close net changes among
the principal issues We're small. The
opening was heavy and quotations in the
early trading gave way on comparatively
small offerings. There was no indication
of a well grounded selling movement,
and the downward drift apparently was
nothing more, than the response of a

There have been times, when ii

boiling faction of one of the old par
ties and would attempt to fuse again
with that party. Both of the old par
ties resented the same privilege and
both of them stand on the vital issues
of the day, shoulder to shoulder, side
by side, and it is our business to show
the people that they are simply de-
luded when they are privileged to vote
under either of the old parties. 1t does
not make any real difference which
they vote for so long as they continue
In either of the parties, they are cast
ing their vote against their own in
terests and for the perpetuation of the
combination between privilege in poll
itics and privilege in business.

people that it is up to the old parties

ter into any deal of any degree for
