Share Market Still a Waiting One Declines In the Forenoon, But Recovers In the Afternoon All Movements Slight-Bond Quiet. New York, .May 6. The -waiting attitude of the stock market was more fully exemplified to'-day, and although there was a fairly active, business transacted iu the few. leading shares there was qnly the usual narrow movements of prices, with no decisive movements. The ten dency in the forenoon was downward, but was reversed later Jn the day, when reas suring news from the conference was received. The temper of the room was rather mixed throughout the entire dav, however; and traders were content to .feel the market from time to time without going very deeply into it, while the continued small buying for outside account served to steady tho list from time to time, and, finally, with the aid tif considerable covering ot snorts, rallied tho market after the selling for arbitrage account In the early trading was over. The weakness of Louisville under this pres sure was one of tbefeaturesoftneearlvtradin?. while the strength in the Wheeling and Lake Erie shares was another. Outside of the ac tivity in St. Paul. Chidagn Gas and Atchison at times there was no other special feature of in terest. The opening was made at irregular changes from last evening's figures, and the stiffening tendency of last evemngsoon became apparent in the advancing figures, which, how ever, never got far away from those of the opening, and the selling by London caused a sharp reaction, which took prices fractionally below the level of the firs; sales. Louisville de clined 1 per cent, but Wheeling and Lalce Erie preferred rose a like amount. The. downward movement was shortlived, and in the afternoon the confident feeling be came so pronounced that a full rally followed in the general list, while a few stocks were lifted materially. Among these Cordage was most prominent, rising nearly 3 per cent from Its lowest flgure,-and holding most of the gain to the end. Tho final dealings in the stock market were marked by a few movements among the low priced shares, Hocking Valley being prominent with a gain of-1 per cent, but the general list was content with tractional advance. . The market, however, -while quiet, was strong and confident at the highest price of the day. The final changes are generally small fractional advances, while there are a few declines. Cordage, however, is up 1?: Southern Pacific, VA; Hockfng Valley. VX, and Atchison and St. Paul, each 1 per cent. There was the usual quiet business in rail road bonds, the sales ot all bonds reaching SSSS.000, and while 'the market remained firm there was little or no feature of interest devel oped during the day. rhe followinc table snows tne prices or active stocks on the Mew, York block: Exchange yester day.

The strike is not under or authorized by the union, although a few of the strikers are members. The crowd succeeded in eettinjr the men at the Steam Press Brick Works out to-day, but it was only by threats, and the men, who are satisfied, quit to save trouble. The strikers met in the north part of the city in tha mornln; and marched to the yards south. The crowd grew, and when they returned numbered oyer ZOO. The strikers stopped near the prei brickworks and sent over a committee to demand the men there to quit work at once. Mr. Fish met the commit, tee, who. informed him all bis men must quit. He asked what' tor. as they were all satisfied, and was answered- they must quit to help them in their demand. He said he would not per mit that, when be was informed it the men did not quit 150 men would make them quit. A signal was given by the committee and the crowd of strikers marched over to the works. Mr. Fisher saw there was likely to be trouble and told his men if they desired they could quit for the afternoon, and they did. HELPED BT THE CLEAEIHQ HOUSE. The Ninth National Bank of New Tork Calls for 8750,000. ISFZClAfc TELEGRAM TO THE DISPATCH.; New York. Mav 6. Tho Ninth National Bank found it convenient yesterday to accept part of the proffered assistance offered by tile syndicate of banks In tho Clearing House. Tho bank called for 5750,000 of the 51.200.00o' sub scribed by the syndicate. The bank officials found it necessary to adopt this course because of the demands made npon them from custom ers in the interior. The bank itself was a creditor at the Clear ing House for $315,000, and it was argued from this alone that the request forassistance from the syndicate represeuted only a temporary drain on the hank.

EARNINGS Prior to the Incorporation In No vember. 1889, under the laws or Great Britain, ot H. H. Warner & Co., Limited, the net earnings in the United States alone, forsvven years amounted tott035,682 87. During Ibis period there was na single year, according to the accounts, when the profits of the United States business was less than 270,739. and the last two years were the largest in the history or the business with the exception of one. For the first year or the English Company, end ing July 31, 1890, tbe net earnings were 105,062," or $009,500. out or which sum were paid semi-annual dividends on preferred stock at tile ri.te or S per cent per annum, and on common slock at the rate or 20 per cent per annum, besides carrying to reserve the sum or 4.",000, or 13,250, and in ad dition surplus to the next year's account or 12, 870, or (32,419 50. In December. 139). the profit were increasing so rapidly, owing to the unex pected development of the uewer branches, that the Company exercised Its option and called In, paid off and canceled $21.1.425 or Its Debenture Bonds, leaving but (434,075 or such Debentures still outstanding. On the 1st or February. 1891, a carerui estimate or tne bnslness or the concern, with its various branches, was made, with a view to tbe declaration of the dividend for the first sll months of the second fiscal year. The result wxs most gratifying, as the net profits for the six months were about (340,003, thee earnings being the largest In the history of the company. This amount enabled the company to declare the semi annual' dividend at the rate or 8 per cent on thai Preferred stock, 15 per cent on the Common stock, the balance of (170,1X10 being carried forward to the end of the fiscal year. Since Feb. 1 the busi ness has shown still greater Improvement, the In dications making probable a much larger divi dend than eyer before among the Common share holders, besides the payment of the Preferred dividend. From a recent carefnl estimate It Is believed that the netprofits of the business of tbe Company for the six mouths ending July 31. 1391. added to the' net profit of (319,00) earned the previous sfx, months, will aggregate about $O,0O0 forthecn-i tire year. Taking this amount as a basis and de- ducting 6 per cent on $434,000 Debentures. .J 26,040 8 per cent on Jl. 000,000 Preferred Stock. .. ......,,, 80,000 There remains applicable as dividends to the Common Stock 31 per cent,, or the sum of. 543,960', $650,000' The net annual profits of the Australian basl. ness alone for the past four years have bean sufficient In each year to provide lhewnoUof the amount necessary to nay. the mis rest on all the debentures and the dividend on the whole of the preference shares.
