FKESSTJEE ON THE COALBRB New Tobk, Aug." 29. The bank state ment Saturday, while having little or no effect at the time of issue,upon farther study shows that the funds of the banks are being depleted at a rapid rate and borrowers are now looking for an almost certain advance in money rates in the fall. This condition was the moving influence in the stock mar ket to-day with the usual result of extreme dullness in the general market and special ac tivity accompanied by falling quotations in the few stocks in which the bears were en couraged to attack. Among these Louis ville and Nashville, Beading, Missouri Pacific and Pacific Mail followed each other, but as a rale the losses were confined to fractional amounts, the last named being the only important exception. The bulls in St Paul were encouraged by the appar ent proximity oi a dividend, which hope the statement for July greatly encour aged, and that stock offered a stubborn resistance to the depressing influences, actually showing a gain or K per cent at one time. Notwithstanding the severe pressure brought against Beading, the decided hull talk upon Lackawanna and Delawaie and Hudson served to restrain ths selling of the chief member of the coal group and the inconsiderable success met with led to abandonment of the effort after noon. The advance was the result of opera tions of the traders, and they, taking their cue Irom the weakness of LonUvllle and the Industrials, ceased to buy and latorsold free ly when It became evident that liquidation by the cliques was in progress. All the last hour the bears became more aggressive and ti led not only Reading, but Louisville, Canada Southern, New England, Sugar and some specialties, all of which yielded materially, and the lowest prices of the day were made just before the close. The pressure upon Heading was severe in the afternoon and the transactions reached verv large figures in comparison with the trading in the lest of the market, but Pacific Mall, which was subjected to a severe drive just after noon, scored the heaviest loss of the day. The market closed fairly steady after a Blight rally, but at or near the lowest prices. Railroad bonds were again very dull and in the main displayed a heavy tone, but the final changes of note are quite irregular, though losses exceeded the gains. The trad ing reached onlv $861,000, with no activity in any portion of the list. Government bonds were dull nnd steady.

Wheat had a strong opening to-day and mado a considerable gam, but all the advance was not held. The itrength was due to a number of bullish factors, including stronger cables, a partial recovery of the trade from the cholera panic and a general impression that the Vienna Congress report was likely to prove a bullish one; but the principal strength Was found in the news from the Northwest. Reports from there showed that it had rained continuously for the past 24 hours and that farmers were apprehensive of great damage to the crop. It was also said that a cold wave was behind the rain storm and that a dangerously low temperature was probable. The inspection sheet also went far to confirm the reportsof the poorquallty of the wheat in the Northwest which have been so general of late, as out of 40 cars of new spring wheat only seven cars were no to the contract grade. There was good Duvin from thn era,.- partly for the long account and nartlv to cover shorts, and as there was not much of- icrea nrmness was the general rule. Later on the large increase in the visible supply and some reason to believe that the early bullish news from the Vienna Congress was not well rounded the market lost a good deal of what it had gained. The information, as originally circulated, purported to be a dis patch from Vienna reporting the decrease i.l.'SS world's wheat supply this yearat 227, " J'n8hoIs and the Increase in the rye crop 200.000,000. .

AIRBRAKE AND CABLE STRONGEST. Nothing on the List Shows anything Like Positive Weakness. COMPLETE VIENNA WHEAT E8TIMATE Monday, An?. 29. Neither activity nor dullness character ized the market for local securities to-day, and it was neither active nor strong. It was a sort of a neutral market some of the brokers and traders moving cautiously as if it was full of weak points, and the others moving with equal caution as if it was fnll of strong ones. So fa.r as note worthy changes were concerned, however, gains were in a majority, but they were very few, being confined to Airbrake and Underground Cable. Pleasant Valley rail wav, Switch and Signal, Central Traction and People's Pipeage continued to show weakness, but they underwent little change from last week's closing prices. All the others were about steady. News and gos sip commanded a premium. Regarding Switch andsignalalittle appre hension' was expressed in some quarters that the suit ot the company against the Johnson Company, testimony in which is being taken in London, would terminate unfavorably, while others were confident the home com pany would win. It will be remembered that Judso Acheson decided against the Union Switch and Signal Company, when the case came up in the East some time Bince, but gave the company permission to amend its papers. The case is simply this: The Union Switch and Signal Company bought the patents under which it is operating from the owner, an Englishman, through an agent. Subsequently Mr. John son, who, at the time if the purchase, was in the employ of the Union Switch and Sig nal Comnany, and who presumably saw a flaw in the transaction, puichnsed the pat ents outright from the owner direct, and or ganized the Johnson Company. When suit was brought by the Union Switch and Signal Company against the Johnson Company for infringement, it was not, and is not now, defended that the " Union Switch and Signal Company did not purchase the patents and pay for them, but .the defense was, and is, that the agent who first sold tho patents had no authority to sell them outiight; that he was authorized to sell them only lor a royalty. According to these facts and the decision of Judge Acheson, the Johnson Company ap peals to have the legal standing ot the case and the home company the equities. It is claimed lor the latter that its papers weie defective when Judse Acheson's decision was rendered, and that since they were amended its position has been impregnable. Anyway, the attorneys of the company, it is said, are quite confident of winning. The firmness of Philadelphia Company under rather liberal offerings was one of the featutes. It looks as if something or n effort was being made to get It down, but it appears to be pretty firmly fixed at 23 with a piomise of being highei. Its imt- proved condition lias made it many new friends, and so Tar as the supply or gas is concerned it is getting into a stronger posi tion nil tho time. It recently purchased outright the Howe farm, in Forward town ship, near the big Snee well, p tying there for $23,C00. The farm covers 125 acres. Two wells have already been repotted on the farm nnd four more have been located. The expected output will not have to bo piped far, as the big Bellevamon main runs close by. In all the other field operations of tho company expectations are more than being renlized. Opinions regarding an increase in the company's dividend rate in October are di vided, some say the company should not increase tne rate until a handsome surplus has been built up. Others say that at the present rate or earnings the company Is able to Increase the rate irom 4 to 6 per cent per annum and still have a good round sum to add to surplus. There are probably Just as good. If not better, arguments in favor of an increase as against it. The stockholders deserve and should receive nil they enn get in the way of dividends consistent with con servative financial management. There was a little gossip current on Un dergiound Cable.but there was nothing par ticularly fiesh in it. Airbrake was also talked of in the old gossipy way of big earn ings, monopolr, etc Cable, it was said, was booked for 90 and Airbrake for 150.

The Complete Vienna Estimate. tBT CABLE TO TIIE DISPATCH. 1 Lojtdox, Aug. 29. Copyright. The Hun garian Minister or Agriculture published at Budapesth, Saturday, his estimate of the woild's crops, surpluses and reqniieraents, and. according to his figures, Europe will re quire to import something over 170,000,000 bushels of wheat this crop year from North America, India nnd Australia and other ex porting countries. Theso estimates are at variance with those published to-day at the international grain market at Vienna, For example, the Hungarian estimate for Rus sian wneat is ror a larger crop than last year, while the Vienna estimate gives a lower percentage than Jast year.

The September dividend list at Boston looks rather lean by comparison witli that of March last, the total being $810,404, against $6,950,759 then. A year ago they were also considerably larger, $6,760,549. This shows a net falling off in dividends of over 20 per cent in the Boston list. The London Statist in its current issue re iterates its opinion that a material further fall in silver is at hand. The decline in Western Uniod puzzles the bulls on that stock exceedingly. They banked upon the advance continuing to 105 at least,, and its failure to do so has dis couraged if not disgusted them over much. We hardly think this Is the time to throw over long holdings of Western Union, as there is something good In store for the patient holder unless Mr. Gould is Inclined "to bite off his nose to spite his race." jTho Boston Commercial Bulletin says that on Tuesday a well defined deal was made between prominent Boston gentlemen and "Deacon" White to considerably advance Westinghouse. Mr. White is to take care of the New Tork end. It is said bv those who know that in less than line year Westing house common stock will pay 3V per cent semi-annually. It has been denied that the "Deacon" hail any Intention of taking hold of Westinghouse Electric Sales find rioting Quotations.

A Large Tract of Land on Tertysvllln Are nas Likely to Change Owners Before Long A Number of T?romInent People After It Building Permits and Sales. The Watson property, located near ihe terminus of the electrio line on Ferrysville avenue, Allegheny, a tract comprising about 150 acres, will, It is aid, be sold in October next. The owners have not defin itely decided as yet- whether they will sell or clear up the incumbrances nnd hold tho property, but in all probability it will be sold. There is a plan of lots laid off on a portion oft detract fronting on Perrysvllle avenne, and as realty in this locality has en hanced In valne greatly within a year or so, the proceeds of a sale would foot away up In tha thousands of dollars. Two gentlemen constituting a firm, of very pi omtnent drygoods merchants and a cash ier of one of Allegheny's national banks, are Bald to be negotiating lor the purchase of the property at the prscnt time, but so many complications are in the way that a private sale Is hardly probable. If, how ever, a publio sale occurs these gentlemen will undoubtedly be the highest bidders. The reasons for the apparent anxiety of the three gentlemen mentioned to purchase the tract and tho disposition to be matte of it should they become the owners are not tknown. It is also intimated that the rural section of .the large plot, which comprises the greater portion of the land, might be pur chased by Allegheny City for park pur Eoses. The place would certainly make a dutiful spot with little improvement, as the natural scenery in some places Is really grand, and a masrnlficent park wonld be the rrtiuib cost. of comparatively little labor and A Through Ban for One Fare. An inconvenience that has been causing dissatisfaction to property owners and resi dents beyond the second toll house on Perrysvllle avenue, Allegheny, has been Temedied, as from to-day on through cars will be run by the Pleasant Valley Company Lf rom sixth avenue to the termlnu: cf the road. Heretofore a change of cars was nec essary at Charles street for persons going beyond that point and two faros charged. Now that a through run is made and a single tare oharged, property along the line will undoubtedly look up a little. y Building Permits.

Sales ot the islgln Board at 25c Grain Weak and Flonr on the Verge ot a Decline Corn Syrnps Advanced in This MarKct Eggs Higher and Potatoes Firmer. Monday, Aug. 29. Sales of creamery butter were made on the Elgin Board to-day at 25c and the mar ket was qnoted very strong at the price named. This will not cause much of an advance here, if any, but the advices re garding the situation indicate that prices will be higher. Consumption is running neck and neck with production, and as long as such a condition prevails a bnoyant mar ket may be looked ror. Grain is tending downward, wheat, corn and outs bein lower. Millers will not pay more than 76c for new No. 2 red wheat, ana thoy reluse to pay much, if any, more for. old No. 2. Tbev are pietty well stocked np. Flour is weaker, and an early decline in quo tations is probablo. Potatoes are doing bettor. Stocks have been pretty well reduced, receipts are com paratively light and the demand is improv ing as the season advances. Grapes nre coming in rreely, but the de- manu is ngnt and prices are ion er. The crop promises to be an unusually large one. v Apples promlso to be much Higher. The Canadian crop will be short and foielgn crocs are failures. Grain, Flonr and Feed. Sales on call at the Grain and Flour Ex change to-day: Two cars No. 1 timothy hay, ten dayr, B. A O., $13 50.
