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 The support was also withdrawn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.

The Kew York Evening Poa: says: "Though
the market to-dRy was fluctuating and irreg
ular, and marked by declines to a degree, it
was, on the whole, a more normal market
than yesterday's. 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.
"Jav Gould returned to the city last ni"ht
from his Western trip, and his friends say
he is in good physical health. The advance
In Missouri Pacific was on burin.: by traders
who think his return will be followed by a
movement In that stock."

A DAY OP SLUMPS.
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

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.

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. Union Switch and Signal was firmer.
It sold early at 17. closed at 1717, and
sold at 1 after the close, with the same
price bid lor more. Underground cable al-o
seemed bent on improvement. 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.
The Comptroller of the Currency has de
clared dividends to creditors or insolvent
national banks as follows: A fourth divi
dend of3 per centin lavorof creditors of
the First National Bank of Anderson, Ind.,
making in all 43 per cent on claims proved
amounting to $143 667. A second dividend of
25 per cent in favor of creditors ot the First
National Baukot Clearfield, Pa., making in
all 50 per cent on claims proved amounting
to $145,635. A second dividend of 15 per cent
in tHVor of creditors or the First National
Hank of Wilmington, N. C., making in all 30
per cent on claims proved amounting to
$319,0.15.

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."
