In All Things at All Times.
There are many GOOD life insurance companies, but' among
them all there must be one BEST. THE, BEST is THE EQUIT
ABLE. If you wish to know why, send for: i, the report of the
Superintendent of Insurance for the State of New York on the ex
amination of The Equitable; 2, for actual results of maturing poli
cies; 3, for statement of death claims paid in 1894. Then you will
know the three great reasons of The Equitable’s supremacy: 1st,
its financial stability; 2d, its great profits and advantages to living
policy-holders; 3d, the promptness of its payments and liberality
of its settlements.

THE MARKETS.
Chicago ’Change.
Chicago. Nov. 2.—The first few moments
of -the wheat session were marked by mod
erate firmness, the shipments from both
Vats for the week were 12,743,000 bushels,
exceeding those of last year, which com
municated the strength. From that time
up until the close there was a dull trade and
an easy feeling, nothing calculated to fur
nish encouragement coming to hand and
speculators exhibiting indifference as to
business. The attorney-general of Illinois
announced yesterday his intention of ap
plying this morning for an injunction re
straining the elevators from doing business,
on the ground that they have exceeded their
Sower. This, It was thought would pro
ue© nervousness, but operators paid little
beed to tlie matter and the market was
not affected by it. The case came in Judge
Gibbon’s court, but was continued for three
weeks. December wheat ripened from 5!%
to 59, declined to 68%c, closing at 5894c, He
under yesterday.
Com was weak, particularly the Novem
ber option. The circumstances which gave
rise to^tlie easy feeling and which was dis
cussed widely was the grading of the new
corn, now arriving. Most of it is of such
good quality and condition as to be classi
fied “contract.” It is almost unheard of for
new arrivals so early in tlie season to attain
that classification and the trade sees noth
ing but weakness if they continue to reach
that standard. May was easy In sympathy
with the current month, though the decline
was not so marked. Business was fairly
active, but out-sldera were still small and
few. May com opened at 2$%(Q'29y4c, sold at
£!Kfr'29%c, closing at 29H<\ a shade under yes
terday. Cash corn was weak and .He per
bushel lower.
Oats declined slightly owing to the sur
rounding weakness. A bull spirit seems to
bo unwarranted in tins grain ns in either
wheat or corn. The large crop is the In
surmountable obstacle to improvement In
values. A light business wa^,transacted and
the close was a fraction under yesterday
for May. In the cash market the feeling
was weak at a decline of l*c per bushel.
Provisions—A sufficient number of out
side ordei‘8 appeared in products at the
opening to offset the influence of a weak
hog market. Later firmness gave way to
an easier feeling and prices dropped back.
Packers were free buyers early, but subse
quently took, but little part in the business.
The close on January pork was 5®7Hc high
er than yesterday, an January lard 7H&10c
higher and on January riba 5c higher.
The domestic and foreign markets were
unchanged.

In Wall Street.
New York, Nov. 2.—There was a weak
opening to tlie stock market this morning,
due to lower quotations from London ana
Paris. The traders resumed their bearish
tac tics, but they made very little impression
on values, the decline ranging from % to 1
per cent outside of Atchison preferred,
wldoh broke 2% per cent to 2644. The weak
ness was most pronounced In the case of
the industrials and the International Issues.
Rubber common scored the greatest loss In
the industrials, falling 2 to 36Vfc. Sugar,
however, was the most active stock on the
list and dropped to 100ft, the lowest point of
the week. The old/stories about unsatisfac
tory trade conditions, large tmports of Ger
man sugar, etc., were used against the
stock. Near the close, however, there was
some disposition to cover and the early 108®
was recovered. Tobacco tumbled a point
to 89*4, but subsequently recovered to 90.
London sold Louisville and Nafiliville,
Atchison and other international stocks.
Louisville and Nashville fell % to 60‘4, Atchi

The securities were weakened by the poor
statement for September. Missouri Pacific
ran off to 30»4 on the gloomy interview given
by Director Russell Sage. The granger,
trunk lines and anthracites were all frac
tionally lower for a time, but near the close

Sun's Cotton Review.
New York, Nov. 2.—The Sun’s cotton re
view says: Cotton fell 15 points, regained
all but 1 point, then declined again and
closed easy*'at. a'lofts for the day of 10 points
with salt s of 139.30Q, bales. Liverpool de
clined l-16d on the snot with sales of 7000
hales, fynd futures there -dropped 3 to 3'/a
points. Now Orleans‘declined IS to 19 points
compared with doing prices of October 31,
when the board adjourned for the holiday,
but later on 10 points of the loss were re
covered after which prices again sagged and
at the close the Now York exchange prices
stood 14 points lower than at the close on
October 31.
New Orleans receipts for Monday are esti
mated at 12,000 to 11,000 bales, against 19,319
bales last Monday, 27,032 hales for the same
day last year and 11,439 bales for the same
day in 1893.
l’ort receipts today were 24,720 bales,
against 47,327 a week'ago and 53,404 for the
same time last year.
The port receipts during the coming wo^k
are estimated at 235,000 bales, against 259,700
bales last week and 390,325 hales for the
same week last year and 293,000 bales for
the same week in 1893.
Killing frost was reported In the south- j
west. British consols wore higher. Crop :
estimates of 6,800,000 to 7,000,000 bales are i
considered conservative by many on the
New York cotton exchange, but though
bears expect higher figures. The Chronicle
states that the northern spinners have
taken thus far this season 387,067 bales,
against 485,751 thus far last season. Came !
into sight during the week 359,532 bales, i
against 500,887 bales in the same week last
year, making the total in sight 2,300,098 bales,
against 2,934,824 bales on November 1 last
year. The world’s visible supply is now
3,261,549 bales, including 2,992,339 bales of
American, a total at this time last year of
3,283,548 bales, of which 2,944,348 bales wore
American. The exports from the ports thus
far this season aggregate 773,302 bales,
against 1,236,660 boles thus far last season.
Today’s features: In the first transactions
prices took a downward course owing to
the dullness and depression in Liverpool
and a report that. British consols were tow
er, while the unusually large liquidations
which takes place under any circumstances
good, bad or indifferent, also contributed
to the weakness. The Liverpool sales
dropped to 700fr bales and there was no ag
gressive support of the market here. A
good many-local Shorts covered, and New
Orleans is supposed to have sent liberal*
buying orders; So prices took an upward
turn and almost effaced the early decline.
On the rise, however, considerable selling
was met largely for local Interests, includ
ing the German houses and prices receded
to about the lowest-figures of the day and
closed weak.
