Daily Financial Gossip
By HOLLAND

New York, November 2.-(SpeciaL)- Many persons especially those whose business associations are large will turn tomorrow to the published reports of the transactions in the stock ex- changes on the day after election. For there is recollection that almost al ways the stock market has reflected as soon as it was open for business after election the opinion respecting the result of the election. This year probably noting will appear in the re- ports which will suggest that presi- dential election has taken place. There may be some slight change in quota tions. But on the whole the securities market will probably appear imme- diately after election in the same state of mind which characterized it while the presidential campaign was in prog ress. This condition of mind was not due to indifference, but rather to the belief that whatever the result of the electioon might be it would not affect business one way or the other.
 Business had been effected by con- dltions which are entirely apart from presidential politics. The prices for commodities have continued to work downward particularly in almost all of the so-called raw products and partly manufactured products, such as are em- ployed in producing completed manu- factures. It may be that some social or political developments will in Europe within the next few months tend to continue the reduction in price of many commodities. But the best opinion here seems to be that unless Europe creates new and harmful contingencies price adjustm tment will be found to have been so perfected that by the end of the year manufactures and merchants will know exactly where they stand
 The business situation of this fall would not have been differed had there been no presidential campaign. For politics even of the higher kind played no part in the course of business con ditions. These were due to the work ing out of economic law. It was in evitable that there be slowing down of manufacturing and of trade activi- ties while prices were gradually reced-

the mos. disturbing factors in our busi- ness life.
 We must look to domestic business.
 One of the authorities who recently spoke upon the preseu. business condi- tion said that if the business depression which prevails in the United Sta'e were exclusively an American condition, then there would be speedy return to business activity An adjustment on international trade will not be com pleted until some years have passed. Therefore American business must de- pend primarily upon domestic demands. For there will be fluctuajng and uncertain foreign demand for long time to come.
 Briefly stated these are some of the reasons why the post election reports especially for the first two or three days after election will be so mad 2 as to suggest to those who dc not know the facts that no election took place or else that there was Indifference re- garding it.

A HOPEFUL OUTLOOK

It can be reported that the prevail ing opinion here is that we are grad ually but surely upon the way towards normal business. We have been some what alarmed because buyers have re- trained from purchasing and because manufacturers have been in mid-air so to speaking awaiting future develop ments. But the information which has been brought from Europe proves that in many respects conditions there have been much worse than in the United States. That is especially true of Great Britain Yesterday reports came from London that the situation there is real ly more serious than has been the case since the armistice was signed. To prove that statement specific facts are given. The textile industry in Great Britain is much slackened and that is true also of the boot, shoe and leather
