'w3 -THE PITTSBimG DISPATCH, FBIDAY AUGUST 19, 189a 11 PS$ SUGAR'S BIG ADVANCE Of Nearly Five Points the Bnlginj: 1'eature in Wall Street. ALL THE OTHER TRUSTS HIGHER. Continued Covering in Turlington and All the Other Grangers. A DECLINE IX TlIE FINAL DEALINGS. Uew York, Aug. 18. Tho news from the striking switchmen, which the bears pretended made the slump in the last hour yesterday, was more favorable this morn ing and the prompt action of the Governor infused a little confidence into the stock market, though its influence extended only to li actional gains anions the railroad shares. There was a rather more widclr distributed and larger business in the rail road shares, while the manipulation of the industrials went on at an in creased rate. The covering ot shorts was still most prominent in Builington and the other grangers and the first named rose 1 per cent. The upward movement, while coi.flned to insignificant fractions union most of the railroad shares, leached the entire list, but only smom tho lew leaders was it noticeable. The high price attained induced some realizations in the last hour, ami pi ices yielded (.lowly in tho lace of the extianrdinarv 11-0 in Sugar, -nliicl. had come up trom 10SJ to 112Ji, with nil the other industrials following, most of them scoring tains of from lto2 per cent. The inaikot finally closed quiet, but heavy on the decline, with most stocks at small fractions better than yesterday. Go eminent bonds were dull and firm. Close of the list: U.

Chicago, Aug. 18. The wheat market re acted under tbe influence of the better tone to the fit st cablegrams. Beerbohm's dispatch read: "More disposition to buy." Another read: "Dull, not quotably lower," and the public mes'iie irom Liverpool noted an ad Tance of Jd per cental for American red winter. The Cincinnati Price Current'! re xiarks confirming private reports of disap pointing yields of wheat from trie thrashing in South Dakota were likewise a mild assist ance to tbe bulls. The traders paid a good deal or attention to the dispatches which came in from Buffalo during the session con cerning tho labor troubles. The effect of the strike is, of course, beaush on values wbile It continues. Some rose-colored re ports o: the crop of spring wheat In North and South Dakota were re ceived, but as tbey emanated from tbe railroad interest they were not received with the credence which the names at tached to them would otherwise command. The bulls were fortified in maintaining for mer holdings and lnad'linc totliemon slight breaks by the appearance of the weather map. which was regarded by the weather wise as threatening ft-oits in the Northwest. Tho rane in tbe thermometer in the Ilritisli Northwestern possessions was from 44 to 46, following very heavy rain. The weak closing 01 the Berlin and Palis markets did not appear to weaken the lalth 01 holders. The price clung tenaciously close to 77o for September. Ihere were sales at 77c at the end. The corn market started at a. point lower than it left off at yesterday afternoon, weak ened a trifle, then became very strong, bad a tumble back: to the opening point, following .'ti&b' i which It rested. The opening value of 8p- tcmber was 52c Tho market was very firm a tho ses-ion approached Its close. Sep tember a ivanced again to 52Jc Fear of colder weather was the influence under which the market closed. Oats opened n trifle easier, bnt buying or ders proved to be nlcntifiil and the execu tion of them caused a gradual hardening of pi ices. September closed at 33o against 32c at the close yesterday. Provisions wcieaL-aln very much depressed by the Buffalo strike and the bad condition of the bog market, and the packers were free solleis. Dispatches from tiio stock yards said that prices for hogs weio5 to lOo lower. About 19,000 hops wore received and fully 14,001 were lelt over from yesterday. The Buffalo strike checks shipments of live stock: to the Eastern markets, and it also dctcis slilppors from forwarding hog products, as they lear a fielsht blockade and destruction or property. Theie were also rumors of manipulation and sales by longs to bicik prices September pork old shortly after the opening at $11 95, but It declined later to $11 60, under active realizing by lmldcis, closing at $11 75 Lard and ribs were steady.

LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NOTES Thursday, Aug. 18. Trading in local securities was not very active, the volume ot business on 'Change being the lightest recorded for some time past, but the market was strong and gen erally interesting under the lead of the 'Westinghouse stocks. Electric, second preferred, was prominently strong, especi ally in the East, where it closed on rather a sensational advance, and Philadelphia Com pany moved up sharply, both closing buoyant at the best price of the day. Elec tric (old) was also higher in sympathy with the second preferred. It sold at 19)4 e" lore the opening of business on 'Change, moved up to 20 bid at the sec ond call, but was subsequently offered at 20, with lDJ bid. The second preferred opened with a sale at 31, was bid up to Z at the last call ami to 32 on the street alter the close. In Boston quotations were higher than hei e, the close there being at 32K sales and bid. With the second pre erred at 32 and the old, or unassented, at 19$, tbe two stocks are about on a parity. What stimu lated the sharp advance was not known. The General Electric and Westinghouse shai es have been moving up steadily or late, the lormer a little the most rapidly, perhaps, and the basis or the movements nave been tbe same in each case reports ot big earnings, etc There has probably been a little more manipulation back of General Electric than Westing house, but the sharp advance in the latter to-day seemed to indicate that it was a ques tion in which stock tbe market workers were doing, the most business. To many the movements in these shares give color to the talk about the consolidation of the two big companies. It is argued that the Gen eral Electria people, in order to dictate terms to the Westinghouse people, decided to have the market value ot their stock placed so high above that of the Westing house that tbe latter would look cheap and insignificant, and that as soon as the Westinghouse crowd saw through the scneme they immediately pioceeded to have their own stock moved upward. This is the ex planation given in Certain quarters, and it looks plausible enough. At the same time the majority believe the stock of the home company Is advancing solely on its merits; that there will be no consolidation; that there is and will be enough business for both companies, and that electric stocks will be the leading Investments ot the future Philadelphia Company's strength was due to a continuance ot the demand for both borne and Boston account, under the influ ence of wliioh it sold up to 21K and closed buoyant at 2Ii21i. People's Natural Gas was lustier at 26 bid; Pipeage closed iractionally lower and the other members of the gioun were neglected. An odd lot ot Pleasant Valley Railway sold at 25 and a 10-sbare lot ot Underground Cabie sold at 74, which was the extent ol the features developed bv the trading. Air brake was Arm at 129 bid; Monongabela Water was in demand and fli men Union Storage was up t 6960; switch and Signal was steady at 1717 and others were feat ureless. Tno street railway shares cut no figure whatever in the day's operations. The Short Line. The Pittsburg and Biimingbam Traction Company's Short Liii6 branch commenced operation to-day as an electric line. Four cars were put in service, and this number will be increased as necessity requires. The contract between tbe traction company and tbe bridge company was signed day be fore yesterday. The Disfatoh understands that it binds the traction company io pay 60 per cent of all necessary repairs upon the bridge, to assume the burden of the insur ance thereon and to pay the bridge company 6 per cent per annum npon ineir capital stock. The bridge was insured lor $40,000, but two or three of tbe insurance companies have canceled their policies since tbey were notified that tbe oontract between the bridge company and the trao tion company would be ratified. This, too, notwithstanding tbe rate was increased trom lJi to 2 per cent on account of tbe in creased hazard. The companies claim, how ever, that double an ordinary tate is not sufficient tojusti.y risks on property where electric power and electric lighting are lactors to be considered. United states Glass. An ex-dtrector of the United States Glass Company stated to-day that it would have been tbe part of wisdom If the diiectors had not yielded to the clamor for a dividend this year. "A good deal of time was lost during the first half of the year," said he, "and there was also a loss of $20,000 net by the Are at Factory B, winch, but for the fire, would have earned $35,000 at least. Tuey should not have commenced dividends until they had built up a good surplus, tor there is not a year that something disasti ous is not liable to happen io the glass trade. At present the 16 lactories have immense stocks of glass on hand, probably some $400,000 worth, and it takes money to carry them, especially ifsomeotthe patterns happen to become unatti active" The treasurer's report showed that for tbe six mouths ended De cember 31. 1891, the net earnings were $74,000, andiortiie six months ended June 30, 1892, tbev were $181,000, making the total net $255,000, which was given as the net in this column yesieiday. President Ripley re gards this as a pretty good showing, but intimates that twice as good a one will be made at tbe next annnal meeting, or earnings at the rate of 10 per cent on the entire capitalization, which, as stated at tbe recent meeting, is $640,000 pre ferred stock and about $3,500,090 common. At 10 per cent, however, the company would not be maKlngusoodasliowingas the vari ous companies did beioie the combine was organized, as their sworn statement shows average earnin s of 11 per cent per annum. Tbe ex-director quoted above says the stock Is ireo of water, but tbe mends of the company claim that, while there was about 3uu,uw worm oi water injectea into it, the common stock at 69 indicates that the water has been pretty well squeezed out. Chicago street Railways. There is no end of talk among Chicago brokers and others regarding the intentions of the Philadelphia crowd. Most people do not believe that any consolidation of tbe North and West Chicago street railway lines will be tormed. They think the scheme is to "cut a melon" for tbe benefit of North Chicago and to cut another Juicy melon for the owners of West Side stock. The North Side company could easily issue $1,000,000 of new stock to be subscribed for at par by stockholders. The company could cay 10 per cent dividends annually on the new capitalization and still Have left a good sum to add to the surplus, besides retiring some of tbe bonds every year. This course lias been adopted by the fiouthside Street Railway Company several times, and even on its present capital stock of $7,000,000 it pv3 yearly dividends of 12 par cent, and shares sell at the enormous price oi 425. Frienus of North Chicago do not hesitate to assert that that company can in the luture make as much money as tbe Southside line, and tbey predict that tu a few years shares will sell just as high, even if thffcapital stock be made $6,000,000, an increase of $1,000,000 over the present capitalization. The Chicago City Railway's bonds outstanding are only a trifle less than those of tbe Northside Company, and tbe Northside line's entire capital stock, including the old $500,000 of shares that pay 30 per cent dividends to the original owners, Is only $5,500 000, or $1,500,000 less than that ol the Chicago City. The last named company holds a controlling Interest in tbe Southside elevated, but whether this is to be a souice or profit is as yet doubtful. A Foreign Opinion or Us. Tbe London SUxtitt replies to some of the criticisms of its articles npon the silver issne and the United. States currency, con cluding with these remarks: "The United States is one of the very greatest countries in the world, and with a moBt magnificent future before it. In both population and wealth it is growing in an amazing way, and consequently capital is accumulating very rapidly. But the accumulation or capital does not in the least avail to avert a crisis such as the silver policy of the Government is calculated to 'produce if it is persevered in. We hsve shown Just now that Immense stocks of gold in the banks and in the hands of private persons cannot, in the nature of things, waid ofT a crisis should there be a ran npon the treasury; still less can mere wealth, in the lorm or investments of all kinds. The wealth ot the oountry and tbe inmense stock or gold held render it certainthat if a crisis does come it will be a mere temporary cheek in the on ward march of the country. The Govern ment, m a matter of coarse, will fulfill all iti &Miai2i'' ' fvt TWttlta'trtlftisaftiiHi rwlfevvsj-feifeefeA-A ifr-ifrts-' ii-iV 'AHr-yiih'irifs'i'i iiViiiif'ifrfiTiisirii ffoto-itffiT'rfliriiTti W irirrfikrSViiiartisisMsll obligations: the confidence of the people will quickly revive, wealth will go on accumu latini, population will spread ont over the surface or the Union. Looked back upon, the crisis will appear enly a mere ripple npon the surface or the nation's pi ogress. But all the same the crisis may come, and most certainly will come ir the pi esent sil ver policy is persevered in. It Is a pure cur rency crisis that we are apprehensive of, and it is not the existence of wealth that will prevent it, but the adoption of a sound currency system," Financial Notes.

Mr. George, Westinghouse, Jr., in reply to a telegram from the Boston News Bureau as to the importance or the contract with the Philadelphia Traction Company, and also ir he was reported coirectly us saying that the Westinghouse Electric Company Is earning net nearly $2,000,000 per annum, fays: "I re gard the contract with the Philadelphia Traction Company or great importance, in view or the fact that they have been Investi gating' the subject lor the past year and have seveial thousand cars under their con. trol. The present order is for one line In Philadelphia only. I did not make the statement while In Boston with reference to the earnings of the company which you re fer to. Our business, however, Is satis factory and larger than anticipated." It is stated that those who are banking on a stock dividend in Western Union Tele cranh are likely to be disappointed, as none is contemplated at this time. Many im- Firovements are contemplated in tbe near uture. For instance the business of the Chicago office lias grown to such enormous magnitude that the present quarters are wholly inadequate to properly transact it. The company is in the market for another structure and if adesirableonecanbe found its cost including neces-ary alterations is estimated at at least $1500,000. The Illli ols Central Railwav has declared a semi-annual dividend of 2 per cent In cash payable September L The statement for the ear to June 30 shows gros earnings of $19 291.760 an increase of $1,410 205, and net earnings oi $5,221,740, an increase of $101,231 over the previous fiscal year. The American Sujar Refineries Company will this week melt 35,001 tons more of sunr than last week. Refined was advanced l-16o in consequence of tbe immense demand. Discussing Westoru Union affairs Deacon White is reported as saying: "There' is no hurry. Western Union is on its way to 110, and it don't need any help to gut there.'' The demand lor gold tor export at this season of the year keeps up a little later than usual. But this. Treasury officials say, is undoubtedly due to heavy importings. Assistant Secretary Srjaulding said yester day afternoon that the Department viewed this situation with equanimity, and was not in the least disturbed over it. No evidence has as yet been given to the Department of a combination to force gold to a premium by tendei ing lat ge amounts of silver Treas ury notes forredemption In gold for export. But in the event of such combination, the Secretary conld, and no doubt would, put a stOD to it8peedily by reiusing to redeem the notes in gold. Sales and Final Prices.

This property is beautifully lo cated, overlooking Highland Park, and is being improved by the owner.

The special 1 ..,,,. , ,,. ,. . , .u- ,;..i . cabl8 to the J A0' t eviews the foreign sifcuu-uuu tx9 lutiuna: jrriuea lur pig lruu war rants have averaged a shade higher, Scotch selling at 42s Id, Cleveland at 39s 3d and hematite at 49s 3d49s 6d. Business has been only fair and confined chiefly to operators identified with the "ring," who at least make a pretense of having confidence in the future of the market. This interest is chitffly in Scotch warrants, bnt tho advance in prices has served to stiffen prices of other Kinds. The market for some Hues or steel Is easier and tiie general sitnation rather uncertain, and in ship plates business ha been done as lowaX5 15s f.o.b. Dealers have accumulated supplies of old iron, and that fact, together with a slow demand, gives the market a weaker appearance. The pig tin market has been rather weak and unsettled. The break that took place at the close of last week has been followed oy a further decline of 7s 6d, due, it is claimed, to the absence of Ameri can orders. In the market lor tin plates there has been rather more doing, but con cessions from last weeks prices were neces sary to stimulate business, and the market remains in poor shape.
