' hs that fntnre relatively stronger than Eailway Shares and the Industrials Show Decided Weakness. FOREIGNERS INCLINED TO BDT And Big Firms Saj Thejr Do Not Expect to Flip Gold. 1 HEM CLOSE AT THE DECLINES If ew York, Aug. T3. The stock market again took the back track to-day, even the industrials yielding to the pressure to real ize while the railroad list showed decided weakness in spots. Among these Heading and New England were conspicuous. Apart from these stocks Atchison was the only one showing any animation jor weakness of moment. The support was also withdrawn from Sugar later in the day and a substantial setback was given its price. The strikes counted ior little in the making of prices and the announcement by many in fluential firms who have been prominent in the gold movement that they did not ex pert to ship any at present acted as a sus taining power in railroad shares, and the foreigners were inclined rather to purchase than to sell securities. The market on the whole displayed a firm undertone and re sisted the influence of the declines. The close was firm, though again dull at some thing better than the low est points. Railroad bonds continued to show a steady decrease in vokime of business and the changes in quotations are confined to the most insignificant fractions. To-day the Beading issues were weakest, closing down 1 per cent, while Virginia Midland stamped 4s lost 2 at 81. The only advance was 1 per cent in the Wisconsin Central lit to 92. Transactions or the day were only $770,000 n 1th no featurejof any kind. Government bonds were dull and easier. Close of the list: U. S. 4s ree 1I5S II. S. Jcconp 115H Mutual Union 6st....lll N.J.

It was simply gaining its equilibrium after the iorced efforts tlia nave been made to advance prices within the last few days in the lace of conditions largely umavorable. It Is probable that some tradeis were taught to base their oper ations too largely on predictions made by bull operators in the industrials.

The Railroad Strike Canses BIj Declines In the Chicago Markets. Chicago, Aug. 19.-2The strikes at the East caused general selling or grain and heg products this morningand everything ruled lower. The wheatmarketopened weak, but before It dropped Into the state of utter demoralization which characterized it about the middle of the session. It bad a half hour or comparative steadiness. The frost which the speculators were troubled about yester day did not materialize this side or the region of perpetual snow. That was the first disappointment encountored by the bulls when they looked over the routine budget of the early news. Foreign markets wero easier, but Liverpool advised a. fair de mand existing at the reduced quotations. Later In the day n cable to a New York house leported red winter wheat 2d lowerat Liverpool, und the most extreme weakness of the day lollowed the receipt of the latter dispatch. The continued heavy movement of winter wheat, indicating an increase in the visible supply ot 2,50g,X)0 bushels or possibly more, was one 01 the features of the situation which was being discounted by the break lti prices to-day The opening price for September was 77c, but the crowd were mostly sellers at that. The tenaency was downward, bnt not very decidedlv so during the first hnlf hour. It beiran to go off very fast, commencing about 1030 o'clock and kept up on that line until about noon, closing weak with a loss oriUc, - the bottom figure of the day. 4, September corn at the opening sold at 525c, an advance of c, but active realizing by holders and a poor demand soon put It down to filjjc There was some bullish news and corn cables wero up Id, but prices here jailed to respond. Complaints of drought from KAnsas, and a dispatch from Beatrice, .Neb., said that corn around there had only a lew ears. A telegram from Louisiana, Mo., said that the ground In that section was hard and dry and that corn had been injured by the do' weather. Later there was reaction and the close was only Jc off Irom yester day's. Oats were steadier than mlo-lit have been expected In view of the weakness In wheat I" Knd Com Tha nnnntvv luinnlit UTa.- mflV. Sep - tcmber. Holders sold freely and offerings were inucn larger man usual. Small holders of September pork were ereatly disturbed by tne strike at Buffalo"1 and proceeded to liquidate. Stop los oJraers took the price from $11 S5 to $11 15, showins a deolino or COo irom the last price of yesterday. September lard broke to $7 75, fc decline of 25c since yesterday, and Septem ber ribs went to $7 75, a fall of SOo. There was a partial recovery near the close.

WEAKNESS THE RULE. mi e Railroad Strike Causes Droop ing Speculative Markets. LOCAl STOCKS BARELY STEADY. Electric Advances Sharply, Besets and Closes on a Recovery. PHILADELPHIA CO. A LITTLE HBATI Friday, Aug. 19 "Weakness characterized the speculative markets East and West to-day, the railroad strike at Buffalo being the responsible in fluence. It was fifteen years ago this sum mer that the railroads had to face such a strike as is now in progress in Buflalo. Then the strike was begun by the employes of the Baltimore and Ohio, spread to the entire Pennsylvania Railroad system -and the result was the consumption by fire" of 3,825 loaded and empty freight cars and 123 locomotives. As these were figured the loss to the companies was a little matter of fi.OOO.OOOi The city of Pittsburg was forced to bear the costs, which were assessed upon the county of Allegheny and the county was compelled to issue bonds to meet the losses due to lawlessness. "It looks very much," says an Eastern paper, "as if Buffalo and Erie county were going through a kin derrarten school to show that employes are not owners, it is uniortnnate tnac tins tionble cannot be settled at once. If the men weiein the right tl'e question would beentiielv different. But when they pro pose to take the chances of committing the crime of incendiarism andar.son they put themselves out of the pale of civilization and are subject to the extreme penalty of the law for sucb crimes, which means im prisonment for lire. The effect upon values of railroad securities dealt In on the Stock Exchange Is really unimportant. Never before was there a time when stocks were so firmly held and the spirit of riot and vandalism 10 rampant. It is true that the advance which was just about to be inaugurated has for the moment been checked When the strong arm of the law has been extended, peace restored, and con ditions assumed their normal sway which will be shortly the upward course of the market will be resumed, and the generally prosperous condition of the country reflected in increased activity and strength incor porate securities." Though the effect on railroad securities may be unimportant, the stiike was undoubtedly the cause of the slumps East and West, and, to a certain extent, if had a depressing influence locally. It was quoted by some of the biokers as partly responsible lor the comparative apathy and heaviness nn the local bourse, and predictions of better thine weie qualified so as to cover all unfavorable developments at the storm centers of tlie Industrial world. Conrss or Local Secnt Itles. The market for local securities to-day was an erratic one, what there was of It, es pecially with regard to Westinghouse Elec tric and Philadelphia Company. The former opened with the boom still in progress, sold up to 33 here nnd to 33 in Boston, reacted to 32 here and 3lln Boston, and then recov ered and closed at something bettor than the final figures of the previous day. At the close the brokers and traders weie a little at sea on the stock, with opinions aoout eqnauy uiviaea us 10 lis course in the near lutuie. The unassented sold at 20. Only one small transaction occurred In Philadelphia Company, S shares at 21, with something of a reactionary tendency apparent. There was no particular pressure to sell, but the offerings were com paratively liberal, particularly at and after the last call, and the absence of the good demand that has been a marked feature so long gave the stock rather a weak look at 21K21 Alter the close 100 shares were oft-red at 21 and 21 was bid for 500 shares. People'sPipeage was firm at 1."K0 16, People's Natural Gas advanced to 27 old, and the others were steady at about previous quota tions. Near the close there was something of a movement in Duquesne Traction at 29, with which exception the street rail way shares were featureless. Central no tion wa quoted at 29030, Citizens Traction at 6162ji, Pittsburr Ti action at 57 bid and Pleasant Valley at 25Q26J. but there w as no particular interest manifested in any one ot them.

At the first call it sold at 74, and under an inquiry that was mote murked lor character tiinn enserne-s. It closed steady to strong at 7175. TX S. Glass common opened at 69 bid, and closed offered at 66J ex-divl-deiid 01 8 per cent. The general close 01 the market was unsettled and signsofaieacti n in some 01 the leading specialties were not lacking. That Western Electric Railroad. Work upon the electric railroad that is to connect Chicago with St. Louts, says the Journal of Commerce, of Chicago, has begun, and will be pushed vigorously. It is claimed that this road, which lollows an alr-llne to the great "reducing of the distance as com pared with other railroads, will bring the two cities within three hours ot each other. Wonderful as this seems, it is likely to be ac complished. Such a road will maik an era in railroading and, if fully successful, will be imitated in other parts of the country. Such a system would transport passengeis irom Chicago to New York in 10 hours and revolutionize existing modes of travel. Electricity Is yet in its infancy and has yet an imppnant figure to cut in the advance ment of mankind. Bank Dividends.

Advices from Trenton state that a buck wheat trust has been formed with a capital stock of $5,000,000. The incorporators, ac cording to the papers filed yesterday in the office or the Secretary of State, are: David Doss and Joseph A. Knox, of New York: William A. Nash, of Brooklyn, aud Charles W. McCutcheon, of Plainfleld. The trust will be called the Hecker-Jones-Jewell Mill ing Company. Three millions ot the stock Is preferred, and is entitled to 8 per cent dividends befoio the declaration of any thing on the common stook. Bonds to tlie amount o $2,500,000 will nlso be issued. A director or the National Cordage Com pany furnishes tl.e following information about the concern: "When the fiscal year closes, September 30, the report will show a surplus in casli and quick assets of not less than $3,000,10. There has been pressure from stockholders for an extra dividend of 2 per cent, making for the year the full 12 per cent, 'which is the limit before division with the -preferred be.-ins. The cash require ments of the camp iny to properly conduct Its business are verv great, the manufacture of certain soods beginning six months be fore the selling season, and this locks up enormous amounts of capital. For that reason an extra dividend may not be de clared, but wonie discussing the wisdom of Increasing the qnartcrlv dividend to 3 nor cent, in this wny pa ins 12 por cent per an num. NoMiimr definite has been decided upon, but I think the cliances favor this course." Sales and Final Prices.

Haw sugar is also in a very strong position, and, altogether, the indications point toa fuitheradvance. " Grain was stronger in this section to-day, but on the Chicago Board of Tiade a very weak feeling pievailed, not only in the cereals but in hog products. The locul situation sympathizes moieor less closely with the Cliicngo speculative markets, aud unless there is an upwaid reaction in the West a lower rango of prices will prevail heie soon.

Wholesale boot and shoo dealers report an improving inquiry for lall goods antf there are sins of an improvement in hides and leather. The demand for fine sugar Is strong and .consumption heavy.
