I'urchnses wrro large I'lioUKH J iuRgVst the arrival ,.;f h lively boom and prices advanced with a v K-ir that few were jirejmred for. .Suddenly a chill came over tho bullish fee'lUB that seemed to huvo spriltik' up so spontaneously and, ror no mnnlfest reason, the ImyhiB has been clmnpod for wdlltn: and prices lime de clined sharply, but with a sort of hesltunej which suggests that operators have not lost their hopes but ure cllnchm to nn rxpeclatlon that the reaction will prove to 11 Thorn camrie'no' doubt that the original ImylnK movement was based almost en tlrely on a sanguliie conviction that the elertlon would result In n return to the White lloise if lis present iicctilinnt nnd probably by very large majorities. Such iin outeomr won'd be so unboundedly wel come to the ureal business represented on tho Stock exrh'iiiKc thiit It Is no matter of wonder thai It should create a great rush of buying and that buyers should be willing to pay considerable advances or price Hut why the suliseituent undoing uf all Ihls? There has been no change from the sanguine political expectation ishlcli so suddenly raised Ihe boom. On the contrary thu conclusion has been strengthened from iluy to day that the majorities will fall to Mr. MeKlnley, and the exasperations and threats of Mr. Hry nu's followers are consir.ied as ex n-esslng their forebodings of defeat What then Is the meaning of a market quiet as 11 midsummer's day within two or three days of a verdict that will Infuse new conlldenee throughout the business Interests or the United Stales and sll'l further consolidate our financial status throughout the world? Seared by llr.vnn lloniliast. Homo sny that this phenomenon Is a natural result of the dangerous class hos tilities which Mr. llr.vnn Is developing with such steadily Increasing vigor. It cannot be denied that, to people of nervous temperament, tho speeches of the doinn rr.ille candidate are too strongly sii'jges tlvo of "the man on tho black horse." Wc hnrdlv think, however, that the nerves I or tlie men ot a I street tiro ma p oi urn i tremulous stuff that would readily yield to scares ot tins sort. I ncre are oiners who say that, while theio Is no question obout the certainty of Mr. MeKlnley's re e'ectlon, yet there Is a blank uncertainty about what will be the party complexion of tho next congress. This Is largely true, but It Is vry doubtful whether the men of llnance cherish any serious misgivings on this score, whatever may be thought In other circles. Wo really llml little In the foregoing con siderations to explain tho singular way In which thu speculative Interests have been acting. Some rea-mus nearer at hand may nuvo considerably more explanatory force. It Is not Impossible that the boom may have overdone Itself and begotten Its own reaction. The way In which stocks were absorbed mid prices put up during tho llrst few days or tho movement could not be very welcome to the 'argo operators who wanted to lay In stocks at modern le prices. It was obvious to these luyers that they could not 1111 their list without forcing prices to a level that would Im peril tho prollts on their operations. Homo Important leaders, therefore, appear to have preferred to take profits on at least a good portion of their holdings, taking tholr chances as to whether such sales might wind up the boom or might produce n moderation of prices which would ennblo them to buy In again at safe figures before election day nnd thereby glvo llieni the ad vantage of two campaigns, tho second growing out of the brief earlier one. This nppears to have been tho main element In tho fat! of prices nnd tho ubntemrnt of transactions. Hut does It mean that tho movement from which so much has been oxpected has already run Its course, all that remains being tho realizing which usually follows tho announcement of elec tion returns? Tho .situation is too confused to admit of any predictions on this point. It Is not to bo overlooked, however, that ft growing importance Is attached to the composition of tho next congress, nor Is that Interest surprising In view of the projects of legislation that overhang the early future. It is, however, highly nrob nblo that, should the election result in tho return to congress of an unexpectedly largo republican representation, that out como would so reinforce the effect of Mr. McKlnley's election ns to afford the basis for consuieraiilo now buying and possibly stnr.tlng a boom of considerable, dlmcn bIoiiu. Future Is Secure. It Is possible, however, to attach undue Importance to tho elections us un element nfTectlng Wall street Interests. After all, tho political shnkcun Is little mote than a transient excitement, nnd Its chief perma nent Importance lies in Its revelation of tho national sentiment upon the larger measures of public policy. A week after the verdict wo shall have forgotten tho excitements of politics for another foir years and the fortunes of tho nation's regular business will absorb the attention of the Stock exchange. Fortunatoly, wo find there little to suggest misgivings ns to tho national prosperity. Wo have revolu tionized our methods of llminclng our In dustries und can only uwalt the results of tho great experiment, but we may feel assured that. If tho trial fulls on business principles, there wl!l be no delay and need bo no disaster In a return to old methods so far as they may prove to be better than the now. In any case that Is n matter that will take caro of Itself. In tho mcnnt'mo It seems safe to say that wo nre fntorlng tipoii a great nnd permnnent extension of our export trade that may be trusted to keep our Industries In a healthy nnd pros perous condition. AVhut Is tho inference to bo drawn from the fact thnt. after three years of unprecedented Increase In our ex ports, we tlnd that New York alone shipped merchandise between January I ami Oc i0jlL:,1(lSmclln!,nK ,0 ISS.fino,nnO, ns against JC.Xl.400.0iK) for tho satnu period of lS'l'.i?

BULLISH WEEK ON BOURSE llerlln I'lnii nelnl MurKet Hum Iletler Time 'I'littii Slnei!, .Middle of April. HHIM.IN, Nov. 4. The bourse had the best week last week that It has known since the downward movement In prices began about tho middle of April. Several factors exerted u bullish lnllucnce upon tin' market. The decision of tho association of great Merlin banks to rescind tho action torblddlng members to execute orders for future delivery for unregistered llrms gave a new impetus to spceuiaiiou. uio meri ,rnn ,,flri,, r., ,rtH ,llH1, ..h.ved a large role In sunnortliiK tho prices of German Iron shares ami from the fact that the re iiorls from the centers of production hero had been growing worsu und worse. The Dusseldorf Iron bourse experienced a heavy fall yesterday from the prices re corded' u fortnight ago, tho decline In foun dry Iron being It'Am per ton. In sheets from 20ni to 30m and In boiler plates Horn. This was the healest fall yet known. Hreslau dealers reduced rolled Iron Bin per ton. In tho Slegen district many operatives were discharged and the waiting attitude of consumers had grown pronounced. It Is re markable, however, tiiat these conditions failed to Inllnence tho bourse. On the con trary. Iron shares were very strong, many gaining from lu to 20 points during tho week Orders tor Industrials, particularly ma chine shops, and coal shares scored good gains. Governments remain llrm In spite of the relapse yesterday. The danger to the mortgage banks arising out of tho troubles of two of these Institutions, already re ported, has been averted and no longer af fects the market. The Increasing speculation Increased the demnnd for money, causing un udvanco in tho private discount rate yesterday to lit per cent. Moreover, thu statement of the relchsbank Issued yesterday Is less favor able than had been expected. Considerable attention Is attracted to tho rnriheoinlnir nationalization of tho Swiss railways. German capital Is expected to participate Heavily. America's participa tion excites apprehension In the Herlln tlnanclal press, which Is evidently growing Jealous of American success In tho Held of llnance.

Just how largo a building Is to bo erected will bo tho subject of serious considera tion. Somo of the members of the board want plans for a High school drawn right uwny In order that financial arrangements may bo mnde during tho winter. If it Is deemed ndvlsablo to erect u High school in tho spring It will bo necessary to vote bonds and a special election will have to be called for this purpose. Several at tempts havo been mado In tho last few years to bond this school district, hut all failed for various reasons and tho district stands today without a dollar's bonded debt. If It Is to bo a High school, bonds for not less than ?100,000 will bo asked for, but It only two wings of the proposed building are decided upon not more than $50,000 will havo to bo raised. Should tho board de clde to erect only nn eight-room building nt prebcnt, arrangements may bo made for this expenditure without tho Issue of bonds. It has been suggested by Member Hren nan that there bo some sort ot competition for plans In order that tho board may havo tho privilege- of selecting from perhaps half a dozen architects. This Idea of Urcn- nan's Is not being seriously considered by the majority of the hoard, ns Architect Davis Is considered entirely compotcnt to draw plans for any building desired.

PAIUS, Nov. 5. A lively Incident occurred nt the Autiicll races yesterday afternoon over tho entry lu tho military stceplechaso of tho Jewish captain, Coblentz, whoso re cent treatment by brother officers at tho military school in Fontalnebleu led to a bo- vero disciplinary measure on tho part of General Andre, minister of war. Tho auti-Scmltcs had announced that they would make troublo If Captain Coblentz In sisted upon riding, and the police had taken precautious. Captain Coblentz, mounted upon his horse, Eastern Star, was grcojtod with insultlne crlea immediately upon en tering the track. Ho promptly took out a visiting card und asked If there were anyone presctit who wished to exchange with him. No reply was forthcoming. Captain Coblentz rode In the race, hut was not placed, When he returned to tho pad dock hostile cries were again raised. Ills friends retorted with shouts of "Vivo la Uo puullque!" and "A Bas lc3 Clericals!" Several scuffles followed, hut tho police quelled tho disorder. A nationalist munici pal councillor und a Jew, who had exchanged blows, wero arrcstel, but were subsequently released. Captain Coblcnlr, who Is nn artillery offi cer, was recently transferred to tho Fon talnebleu J3colo d'Appllcatlon from a north ern garrison, exchanging with an Instructor In tho school who had finished his term of service lu that capacity. Upon his arrival at Fontalnebleu ho left cards on his com rades, but his calls wero not returned and ono of the o(Ilcer8, Major Duval do Gravllle, undertook to express to the minister of war tho feelings of tho other officers, who had decided to adopt toward Captain Coblentz, because ho Is a Jew, nn attitude calculated to mako his stay among them Intolerable. In view of this General Andre punished Major Duval do Gravlllo with ilftecn days' Imprisonment, lu addition to sending him from tho school lo a regiment In tho prov inces. Tho minister of war also sent back to their regiments six other olllccrs. M. de Illowitz, tho Paris correspondent of tho Loudon Times, commenting upon tho In cident at tho time, said: "There Is no question of tho Dreyfus affair Involved. It Is solely becuuso of antl-Scm-itlc passion, nnd a question of extreme Im portance arises. If French officers refuse to tolerate Jews In their ranks, tho Jews can no longer be allowed to enter Saint Cyr or tho Polytechnlquo or the Ecolo Centrale, since, with rare exceptions, In tho caso of Polytechnlquo, all the pupllo of these throe schools on leaving become Infantry, cavalry or artillery olllccrs. 'On tho other hand there Is no reason why prlvato soldiers should be less fanatical thun their officers and why they should tol- erato Israelite corporals and sergeants. Tho only possible conclusion, therefore, Is In or der to avert a state or tntugs so irapoBsiuic In a country whoro military service Is com pulsory, all members of the Jewish religion must henceforth bo dispensed from military service."
