The leading featuro of the European markets during October was the severe tension at the first fortnightly settlement on the London exehang caused by apprehensions of heavy failures.

There were one or two weddings of note and, with the exception of .1 number of receptions, so ciety liad or nothing to do. Thursday hill circles were all agog over what was probably one the most brilliant, affairs of the season. It was tho Totten Vau Siclen marriage. Seldom have so many distinguished Brooklyn families been represented on a similar ocecasion.

And there were present also many prominent people from a distance. Aside from tho appointments, which wore such as to be most agreeable and pleasing, and which in a largo measure mold one's opinion concerning such an affair, there is bound to lie something in tho family tradition moro potent oftentimes in its bearing upon the importance of tho occasion any of tho appointments, however elegant they might be. Family prestige has much to do with it. Fashion has a regard for tradition. Both tho Totten and Van Siclen families are noted in the social and historical annals of Long Island.

The local stock market has been quiet during tho past week. ThiB is not a statement remarkable for novelty. As tho past week has been quiet so has the past month. Hero it is in November and tho activity which was prophecicd so generally for September has not yet put in an appearance Perhaps in thoso prophecies tho wish was father to tiie forecast. A Montague street broker was heard to mutter something to himself yesterday which sounded very much like "hope deferred maketh the heart sick." A boom looks no nearer now than it did in September.

It seems to ba the prevailing opinion that tho quietness in Brooklyn is due to the operation of the same cause which keeps Wall street far from being bouyant. This is the monetary uncertainty and the apprehension that tho expected" break in the London money market may precipitato a financial crisis here. These fears, which have made Wall street operators cautions, are reflected in Brooklyn and investors aro afraid to placo thoir money. The rate of interests has had something to do with tho general uneasiness. It has been bobbing around in a way that surprises tho veterans.

On Friday, for instance, after an interval of steadiness, it was quoted on 'chango at iigures varrying from 20 to 30 per cent. Tho tide may turn at any timo however. If the difficulty with tho South American bonds does not interfere with London's linancial equilibrium; if several other things don't happen and several others do happen, then at last local stocks may begin again to jump serenely and regularly upward iu a way to make people wish that they had had sense enough to buy thorn when they were way down. Tho intermittent trust company fever has now an off day that permits oeoplo to think and talk of other things. Gas, for instance, was a favorite topic during the week which closed yesterday.

The stocks are quiet and rather heavy, excepting thoso of tho Williamsburgh and Nassau companies. Old Brooklyn shares aro 118 to 120 ex dividend. Talking about this company, hero is a little fact which may not bu uninteresting to investors. There are many first mortgage bonds on many big railroads which aro not bo well secured as the stock of tho Brooklyn gaslight company is by the real estate which it owns. This includes one of the best pieces of water front property on the East river which is perhaps, General Jourdan onco said, equal in value to 3 1 People'sTruatCo 300,0001 100,000 500,000 inn.ooo' 200.000 Ali op.

Elements of Tucd'tainty Which Pnzzla the Prophets Arrangements for Displaying Election Return's Cumins Cross Country RunChurch nnd Social Events. The campaign is now about over, and the can didatcs will take a breathing spell that will go long way toward nerving them for defeat or iro pare them for the congratulations with which the victors will bo overwhelmed.

In tha Twenty sixth, ward the campaign has been especially hot, and every election district from the Twenty fifth ward to the county line and from Jamaica bay to the backbone of Long Island has been thoroughly canvassed, so that there will be but a small percentage of registered, who will not go to the polls next Tuesday. Loth in the assembly and in tho supervisorship has the contest been waged with great energy on both sides, and the tension has been kept up to the highest pitch. The candidacy of John P. Freo for supervisor throws an element of uncertainty into the election, as his strength is variously estimated from onu hundred votes to ouotigh to elect him. This latter opinion, however, is not held by many outside of tho independent candidate's most enthusiastic admirers.

Although his political affiliations are Democratic it is thought that ho will poll almost as many Republican votes as those of bis own party. His followers aro conducting a vigorous campaign, aud his headquarters, ou tha corner of Atlantic and Van Siclen avenues, are nightly tho sceno of great and activity. There is a quiet but, nevertheless, widespread revolt against tho Democratic machine in thia ward, but the party leaders appear to ignore it. Another element of uncertainty is tho registration of 700 more votes than last year. This increase is iu that section.

A 20x3f) canvass sheet will be erect in front of the oflice on Atlantic avenue, and the returns as they are received over the wire will be thrown on it by a power fill light. This will be a great improvement over the plan pursued last year and will no doubt make (lie Atlantic avenue office the center of interest in the new ward on election night. The ol'ih'i' will remain open until all returns of any importance havo been displayed on the canvass.

During the evening tho Eaoi.f. will issue suvpral extras, giving full returns up to the time of publication. There will also bo an early morning extra. The junior ten of the King's daughters, connected with the Kast New York liefonned church, are preparing to hold a bazar in the lecture room under the church.

Tie selection of this play has created considerable criticism on tlio part of thoso who profess to' be much interested and very solicitous about all the society does. Tho dramatic committee are reticent about the matter. They say, However, that they fail to see the lack of wisdom utributed to those who selected the play, as it hajnot been produced: by professionals for six yean and has not been presented by amateurs foretime fully a long: "Hence they think it about tne that a play possessing bo many commendable (attires should bo produced again.

The presentatioiVwill bo interesting not only because loading liglts of the society are in tho cast, but because it will'introduce several old favorites who have not (hpeared recently Douglass Montgomery is one if them.

Oelrichs who wR be metamorphosed into tho fair Amanthua lirownsniith's daughter, by Bomo years hot father's senior, strange to say. and as well' sharply contrasting with him in physical proportions. Now Dinsmore plays Brownsmith, and everybody knows how diminutive physically he is, while OelricliB is almost seven feet in his shoes.

It will be laughable, indeed to mark tho discrepancy between tho two. But it is just tho idea intended by the author, and happy it was for the Florence to iind Oelrichs.

The Brighton harriers will hold a handicap cross country run on election day for three valuable prizes. It was originally intended to hold championship run on hut day, but circumstanced prevented it. The handicap run will doubtless prove much more interesting and many good athletes will take part. Tho two crack winners ot the club, Harry F. Spencer and William J.

Carr, will both be placed at the scratch, and the coutcst will in all probability narrow down between these two. President William J. Carr has offered a mi ilnl to the winner on election day, and this will doubtless prove au extra inducement to the athletes.

ill October lendors grow very conservative regarding names aud few contracts wero made, except for the renewal of maturing loans.

The teudencyof the stock market was downward during tho month, with occasional reac tions, due to rebiiying to cover short contracts. Ono featuro was a fall in sugar trust, caused by an injunction order restraining tho trustees from disposing of any of the property, or from proceeding with the reorganisation of tho trust, and toward the end of the month thero wero rumors that this litigation would result in a receivership to wind up tho trust and tho various refineries tho combination.

Another feature was a gradual fall in silver bullion certificates, caused by an excess of supply of the metal in ourmarkot and in London, and the prico was also affected unfavorably by rumors that Austria would dispose of her stock of the metal, but (his story was subsequently denied. During tho first week October there was a feverish fall in llock Island, which affected tho other grangers, and at the samo time a dechno in Louisvillo and Nashville, Union Pacific and in other stocks dealt in on tho London market, due to selling for European account in tho expectation that the bank of England rato of discount would be raised. Sugar trust was first advanced and then broken down, and at intervals the whole market was unsettled aud weak, and Union Pacific and St. Paul sold on tho last day of tho week at tho lowest prico for the year, the former being affected by reports, subsequently confirmed, that connections east of tho Missouri were divorting traffic from the Union Pacific. During the second week continued selling for European account and bearish attacks upon the market kept prices feverish and weak until Wednesday, whon thero was an irregular recovery, due to rebuying by the bears.

On tho following day reports of a panicky condition of the London market, caused by fears of troublo at tho pending settlement, made our market lower, but on Friday thero appeared to bo good support, which brought about a sharp recovery, and tho tone was generally strong to the close, although irregular on Saturday by reason of tho unfavorable bank statement. In tho third week the bears renewed their demonstrations, taking advantage of tho unsettled condition of affairs in London, but after Wednesday the market was turned upward by the united efforts of both bulls and bears and on Thursday, when it was seen that tho bank of England rate remained unchanged, thero was a further improvement in all excopt sugar trust, which was unfavorably affected by the granting of the injunction order above referred to. On Friday the Yil lard properties took tho lead, followed by the grangers, which wero influenced by the agreement to restore rates after November 17 and the whole list continued strong to iho close. Early in tho following week the bull traders wero moro confident aud steadily pushed prices upward, but after Wednesday the Vicars regained control and they succeeded in forcing important declines in sugar trust, tho grangers. Union Pacific aud Louisville and Nashville.

Tho news that a syndicate of bankers had undertaken to care for a block of about $50,000,000 stocks on the London market aided in bringing about a temporary recovery on Thundav, but this was followed by free selling of susar trust, which had an unsettling influence upon the market for the remainder or the week. Tho course of prices for the remaining day of tho markot will bo found recorded below. Tho triding during October was mainly confined to professionals. Much of tho reported business in sugar trust was doubtless fictitious and probably about thrcc fourlhs of the daily rehearsals this promises to bo a mirth provoker of the lirst quality.

On their return at night fireworks were set off at various points along tho line of march, and the effect, harmonizing as it did with the gorgeous costumes of the parallels, was decidedly brilliant.
