- u I t r C f BEARS IN CONTKOL. Thej Work the Cholera Scare With Considerable Success. BEADING AKD ST. PAUL STR9NG, But Ke&rJy ETerjtlilnp; rise Tields Eeadiljr to Pressure. A WEAK CLOSE AT THE LOWEST PRICES JfE'W Yobs, Ang. 31. Dullness contin ues to be the principal characteristic of the market, except in a iew stocks affected by particular influences. The undertone of the market remains strong, however, and despite the occasional short sales for quick turns the existing short interest remains so large that a supported influence is never lacking. There was a renewal of the manipulation of Sugar to-d8y and while the rest of the industrials remained dull and stagnant, it ro-e rapidly at times and dis played great activity. The market opened with a firm temper and generally at higher figures than those of last evening, but just after the beginning of business it became known that Sir. Goelet repudiated the use of his name in the direc tory of New England and announced his re fusal to serve in that capacity. A heavy selling movement in New England, was im mediately precipitated and a drop of X per cent in "a jiitw uuicu luc uuic market, including even Sugar with it Only Beading, St. Paul, Burlington and Erie showed any animation, however, and'the losses in those shares were confined to small fractions and the decline was sooo checked. The rally followed close bringing most of the list, including New England, up to within a shade of the first figures. Bead ing and St. Paul, however, displayed special strength and rose above the level ot first prices. The trading was entirely professional and while there was some liquidation in the early dealings the bulk ot the selling was still for short account and the bears were very aggressive, working the cholera scare for all it was worth. In the afternoon, when it was announced that the disease was actually in the harbor, there was a more vigorous drive at the entire list, which had the effect of bringing out some long stock and still lower prices were reached all along the line, even Sugar finally giving way with the railroad list The granger stocks displayed the most weakness and Manhattan dropped about 3y per cent, though the violence of the move ment later caused a partial reaction. There was a slleht rallv on covering of shorts in the late dealings, but the market never lost its weak tone and finally cosed weak at the lowest figures as a rule on an active busi ness. The bond list was affected by the drive at stocks, and while, during the forenoon the usnal dull and ai.atlietic market was seen, there was a yielding later over the entire market and many of the active issues were driven down materially. Government bonds were anil and steady. Close of the list: U. S. 4s reg MH Mutual Union 6s'.. .110 N.J. a lnt Cert...lll! Northern Pac. Ists..ll6' Northern Pac. 2ds'.I14 Northw'n Consols.. 137V II.

Chicago. .Aug. 31Tliere was weakness and depression in ail the pits on the Hoard ot Trade to-day and a sharp decline all along the line. Everybody teemed disposed to sell, but there was little Inclination to buy nnd the result was decided weakness. The chief cause of this condition of affairs was a growing fear that cholera would gain a foothold In lhis country with all sorts of panic possibilities as tlio result. Holders or September contrncts.in view of the fact that to-morrow is delivery day with everv pros pect ot heavy deliveries, woie particularly concerned over the situation, not caring to accept the actual grain on a. maiket which stands leady to be stampeded, so they made haste to sellout their September holdings as--oon as trading lior,nn Aff.i-i,. . liquidation was over there was a moderate reaclon, but at no time was tbeie positive strength. Pardridge was said to be the heaviest short seller to-day, but he had a bur lollowing. ' i " Corn was depressed and lower from the start, the failure 01 the expected frost to materialize, the.liberal leceipts and the un expectedly favorable character of tho Gov- ernment weekly crop bulletin, with the gen eral depression which held steady In all speculative pits, all favoring lower prices. Oats were weak In sympathy with the gen eral depression, but were not demoralized, as the crop conditions were such as to make short selling more .hazardous. Hog products were weak and at timci seemed demoralized. Tbo offerings were urgent with very little demand, while the cholera scare and the depression In other speculative articles were bearish agencies together with heavy present and prospec tive receipts of live hogs and lower prioes, Cash quotations were as follows: Flour dull, weak: and nominally lower."

NOT MUCH BUOYANCY. Cholera Keports Cause Weakness East and West. A FEW STRONG POINTS LOCALLY, Bat the General Tone of the Market Is Unsettled. LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS Wednesday, Aug. 3L .The August transactions in local secur ities on 'Change aggregated 15,631 shares of stock and 596,000 bonds. As a rule Ex change .transactions are about one-half the total business, so that the volume of trading for tlieVuonth must have been somewhere in the neighborhood of Sl.'OOO shares of stock and ?200,000 bonds. Bonds, however, were unusually active off 'Change during the month, and it is doubt ful, therefore, if $200,000 approximates the actual total business. While the record is not particularly startling, it largely ex ceeds that of the corresponding month of nrevions vears. and. as 'the volume of business and courso of prices have brought fulfillment to the July predic tions of The Dispatch, the record Is gratify ing to some oneontside the brokerage fra ternity, and this 1 eference to it is pardonable to say the least. Cholera Keports Caaiie Onenslnet. The report that the cholera had arrived off Now Yont via the steamship Moravia, from Hamburg, caused considerable uneasi ness on Fourth nvenuo this afternoon, and tho weakness and depression In the East ern markets caused by the announcement of the ai rival of the terrible soourge found something of a reflection here. Brokers and others passed Jokes and light remarks about it back and forth, but un derneath tne careless tone an appieclation of tho gravity ot the situation was plainly observable. " In sober conversation the opinion was general that it would not take long for the unwelcome visitor to roach Pittsburg once it got a foothold In the East, and all sorts of business disasters and panic possibilities were outlined as the result of Its getting this country or any considerable pottion of it in its grasp. There Is no wisdom in borrowing trouble, however. The cholera is not here yet. It is not in New York yet, and the roports mav be exaggerated. The rigid quarantine measures that will be enforced, also, and the intelligent and well-directed efforts rbe-' ing made to keep it at a safe distance may be successful. If it does come it will be fought as it has.never been fought before, but its presence will stagnate business and depress prices. Then there will bo oppor tunities ior tuose ot nerve ana means to pick up bargain that will net big profits. Coarse of tlio Mark-t. Trading on 'Change to-day was on, about the same scale as yesterday and the day be fore, but the tone of the market was gen erally weak. Declines, however, were few and without significance, and some shares were stronger. P. & B. traction. Pleas ant Vnll oy, Central traction. Electric first preferred, Philadelphia Company, Duquesne traction nnd Citizens' National Bank figured in tne business at the calls, with noticeable activity only in Duquesne traction. The stock was in good demand and was freely taken at 29329J, closing at 23.9J Off 'C.'aimeit was active, a representative of one of the brokerago houses reporting knowledge of a transaction involving 600 shares at about 29. Altogether it was esti mated that 1,600 shares changed hands during the day. The stock may go up, but the present time does not appear to De a good one for even strong and shrewd manipulation. Stocks would un doubtedly be thrown overboard on a visita tion of cholera, and no business would sutfor more seriously than tho street railway business. However, street railway slimes are unquestionably a purchase for a long pull. Moro pressure was brought to bear against Philadelphia Company to-day and It yielded slightly.
