INDUSTRIALS LEAD THE DECLINE Which Ixtends to Nearly Everything on the Active List. A WEAK CLOSE AT THE LOWEST PRICES New York, Sept. 1. The full effects of the cholera scare were felt in the stock mar ket to-day and weak margined holders of stocks and heavy short sellers Tied with each other for a large portion of the time to obtain the ruling prices as they went. There were a great many stop orders uncovered by the rapidity of the decline, and thus the downward movement, which certainly did not lack speed, was accelerated. The losses were most notable in the industrials and specialties and Sugar at one time showed a net loss of 64 per cent, while among rail road shares the deolines reached 3 per cent, nothing on the list escaping the general drop. The scare comes at probably the most opportune time, lor the near approach of cool weather will soon put an end to the danger, and while there was no evidence that the holdings of large speculators .or investors had been disturbed, the stocks sold now are undoubtedly passing into strong hands which will tell when the ap prehension of disaster lrora the disease at our doors is over. At the same'time there seems at present to be little encouragement to make ventures on the long side, with the depleted bank reserves, and to-day the an nouncement was made by some of the for eign houses that they would ship gold on Saturday. Tn view of these facts the mar ket, after the decline was checked and the bears had withdrawn their forces, failed to displav any recuperative power, thoughithe demand from the shorts prevented any further decline. .ine grangers, especially ou raui, wun New England and a few other shares, were remarkably well held in the early trading, but the pressure soon became general and the whole market gave way, the activity be ing very heavy in consideration of the limits to which the market has of late been confined and the selling for both sides of the account was extremely urgent There was heavy liquidation ol speculative long accounts throughout the day, especially in the industrials, the banks in some cases discriminating against them, and the money question was again pressed home to many borrowers by a flurry in call loans late in the day by which rates were run up to 6 per cent, a figure which has not been touched in many weeks. This naturally hastened the liquidation and the late trading was equallv as heavy and as excited as that of the first hour. The purchases lor the short account from time to time served to check the speed ol the decline and even, in some stocks to rally prices a little, but the progress made was insignificant in comparison with the pre vious losses and the effect was hardly per ceptible in the final changes. The industrials came in lor the bnlk of the pressure, and, besides sugar, General Elec tric lost about 4 per cent, and Cordage pio lerred dropped suddenly about 6 per cent. The chances in railroad shares were more moderate, but Western Union yielded 3 per cent and most of the active railroad shares in the neighborhood of 2 per cent. Burling ton, Atchison, Beading and St. Paul were the features, but New England, from its stubborn resistance to the pressure, was unique in contrast with the general weak ness. The market under the influence of the scarcity of funds closed active, teverish and weak at or near the lowest prices of tne day. The final losses of note include Sugar Sfc, Lead 3, General Electric ki. Western Union Colorado Coal SJ. Cotton Oil 2), and others of the active list generally from 1 to 2 per cent. The transactions were extremely heavy in comparison with those of late. Bailroad bonds tailed to respond to tho excitement in the share list, and while sym pathizing to a limited extend in the tiown waid movement, showed few changes of note at the end of the dav and these not all in the active issnes. Tho Heading bonds were weak features, the firsts losing 1 and the second 1 per cent on comparatively light transactions. Atchison incomes were again the most prominent in the trading, con tributing $1S7,C00 to the day's total of $1,264, 000, and while weak, selling ex-interest, lost only a little over 1 per cent. The business was not widely distrinnted. Government bonds were dull and steady. Close of the list: TJ. S. 4s reg 114X Mutual Union 66".. .110 N. J. C. Int Cert...ll05 Northern Pac.

Chicago, Sept. L Depression and a panicky feeling ruled on the Board of Trade on account of the cholera scare during most of the forenoon, and most of the articles dealt in went off sharply, wheat touching the lowest point reached for several years; hut lator in the day the action of the au thorities at Washington and some other Items of news caused a revulgion of feeling and a reaction set in which carried prices well upward toward tho closing fig ures of yesterday, and in pork and ribs to a higher level, leaving the trade in a more hopeful frame of mind than it has shown for some time past. Wheat fell dur ing the first hour IKe below last night's 1 close, corn lJgC, oats Jc and pork 22WC, with lard and ribs also weak and lower. Big cov erings by shorts to secure profits caused a reaction, but the general tone was weak. In wheat everybody seemed to have selling orders, and scalpers who had bought on yes terday's decline, and those who have been holding in hope of better prices, were free sellers, while there was hardly any buying exoept to cover shorts and take profits. Big receipts and light exports were the prominent bear factors, independent of the cholera panic It was pointed out that the statement of the poor quality of the North western wheat ctop was disproved oy the inspection of tho new receipts. Of 43 cars or new wheat received at Minneapolis, 22 graded as No. 1 Northern, and It was said that only the small size of the berry pre vented it from grading No. 1 haid. The statement sofrexperts that tho crop was un usually good, milling quality were also cited. Stocks in New York were demoral ized and lower, and helped along the gen eral depression. The deliveries of Septem ber were not as neavy as were looked for, only about 300,000 bushels, and this with some pretty good buying caused some ad vance after the lower opening, but the mar ket was without confiaence, and when a story was sent from New York to tho effect that three cases or cholera had appeared in that city, the early buyers were stampeded with offerings and tnrned sellers, the mar ket breaking sharply. The report later was officially denied, and a better feeling at once became manifest. Then shorts began to cover freely, and a cold wave was descried in the Canadian Northwest. On top or these came the prompt action of the Government to avert cholera, the fact that 17 boatloads of wheat wore taken at New York lor export and that834,O00 nushels were taken here for shipment. AH of these things turned the tide and the markets moved up. Cash Quotations were as fallows: Flour. dull and nominally 1015c lower.

Out Under Cover of the Cholera Scare . AND SALES TO REALIZE PROFITS Cause a Decline in Nearly ill the ActlVe Shares. LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS Thursday, Sept 1. Pronounced weakness characterized the local stock market to-day. All the shares that were prominent in the recent upward movement, with the exception of "yest'nS house Airbrake, declined materially under rather free selling, and the close was at the lowest prices of the day. It is possible t,he word weakness is hardly the proper one to use in describing the market Stocks often decline without being weak, the de clines being nothing more nor less than natural and healthy reactions which create bases for further advances. Certain it is. however, that the general tendency was downward and that declines were established throughout the active list, some of which were little short of sensational. Westing house Electric suffered the most, declining to 34 asked, followed by Philadelphia Com pany, with a loss of a dollar a share from the previous close, Duquesno traction, P. & B. traction. Union switch and Signal, Central traction and Pleasant Valley, all or wnich closed on losses of more or less consequence. In a general way the declines were charged up to the newspaper reports of the progress of the cholera and the continued weak ness in the Eastern markets. Tho action of President Harrison was accepted as mean ing that the situation was quite as grove as outlined in the papers, and, while this served to increase the general apprehen sion, the probability that vigorous action would be taken, and the actual precaution ary measures enforced apparently tailed to have any influence whatever, eitner here or in the East. While the declines might not have been established . if the cholera had not orossed the sea, the market was ripe for a big reaction. The lead ing shares hud advanced too rapidly in one instance, at least, under vigorous manipulation and in all such movements reactions follow as surely as night follows day. Those who had profits in sight were holding off to see them swell a little, and many were waiting for an opportunity to do a little business on the short side. The arri val of the Moravia with cholera on board encouraged the latter element, and those waiting tor increased profits began to real ize that they had overstayed their time. Both elements commenced to soil, the result being the declines noted. The movement was nothing like a raid oraoanic. Such things come only with a sudden tightening of the money marker, or with a succession of business disasters. Money is unusually abundant now, the general business situa tion is a healthy one and securities backed Dy merit cannot DreaK mncn, even 11 mo cholera should really get a loothold. Tne operations to-day were about equally di vided between realizing and short sales, and there will certainly be a recovery at the proper time in the shares most in favor, as well as in those which appear to be mo mentarily in the hands of cliques. Action of the Marker. P. & B. traction opened at 26 sales, sold down to 26Ji nnd closed at 2626; the 5s sold at 1A and Interest. Philadelphia Company started off at 22J4, weakened gradually under realizing and short sales and closed at 221. Electrio preferred sold at 36 early, at 34 later and closed offered at 34, the selling and offering being for Bos ton account. Duqnesne traction sold down to 2SK, closing nt 2829; La Norla sold at 14c; P., A, & M. traction sold at 44, closing offered at 44J4; Pleasant Valley softened to 25 sales and a close nt 2525V, and Union Switch and Signal sold at 17, closing at 17 17. Among the inactive shares Central trac tion was fractionally off. Airbrake and Manufacturers' Gas were steady to firm, United States Glass was offered down to 67 and Underground Cable was offered at 80. The latter was offered on the street alter the close, however, at 78. Brokers with Boston connections stated that there was no trading in Philadolnbia Company for Boston account.

A PENN AVENUE DEAL, . A. Smlthfleld Stritef Concern Dickering for the Kemalnder of the Christ M. E. Church Property A Few Other Ble Transaction! Cooking Gossip, Permits and Sales, Thursday, Sept. 1. The remainder of the Christ M E. Church property on Penn avenue, between Seventh and Eighth streets, will very likely change hands in a few days. Negotiations for the sale are on and from present indications the deal will bo closed within the time men tioned. The price to be paid , and the names of the parties interested are withhold for the present at their re quest. Quite an improvement will follow. A tine Ave or six-story brick business block will be erected and occupied by the pur chasers, who are at the present time located on Smlthfleld street near the City Hall. This deal going through will likely cause a sale of the Smithfleld street property of the in tending purchasers, whioh would certainly realize a large sum, being situated on a very prominent corner and having erected there ona four-story brick business building. Current Gossip. City property is certainly in great de mand, and as a result prices are stiffening. Many orders have been placed in tho bands of agents of late by corporations and firms in various lines of business for, suitable sites upon which to erect large business blocks. In some instances a sudden Jump in prices has deprived the down-town sec tion of several new attractions in the line of large and handsome buildings, but a few sales, involving nearly $200,000 each, are in hand, and will likely be in shape for publi cation Dy the close of the week. The realty in question is located In the heart ot the city. John F. Sweeny reports the completion of linen houses on Herrou Hill to be offered for sale on the Installment plan. The houses are five and six-story frames located on Herron avenue and Camp street. The plan of lots laid off by J. Palmer O'Neil at Ben Avon will not be placed on the market. Mr. O'Neil havinz decided to erect dwellings on the lots, and offer them for snlo when completed. If a deal now in nrettv irood shnnezoes through Grant street, south of Fifth avenue, will soon be improved by a handsome seven story business block. Handing Permits.

SUGAR IS BOOMING. R-finer and Wholesalers Again Elevate Quotations an Eighth of a Cent Cream ery Bnttor Vry Scarcp Grain Weak Eggs and Poultry Firm Revised Prioes. Thursday, Sept. L Another advance of a per pound on all grades of sugar was made in this market, in response to a further advance by refiners on all grades from No. 5 up. This makes a 5-cent market for standard granulated, which the readers of The Dispatch will remember was foreshadowed in theie col umns a week or ten days ago. The sugar situation is very strong, particularly with respect to the raw article, and prices will probably be higher before a reaction sets in. Coffee has weakened a little of lato, bnt roasted is more .likely to be higher than lower. Creamery butter is very scarce in this market, and dealers have not been able to get much moretban one-third of tlioir orders filled at the sources of supply. An order for 300 tubs sent in to Elgin Monday was scaled to 100 tubs, with the advice that all . rders were similarly treated. This would seem to indicate higher prioes, but it is stated that if the cool weather continues the production of butter will Increase materially. Crop Ex pert Prime savs: "Our great butter centers now reDort a decided shortage in the butter made tnis season, and they trace this directly to the heavy rains in June, which washed off and out so much substance irom the grass that it did not have the bntter yielding qualities ot an average seasun." The Milwaukee Malt and Grain Company has sent out tuo following circular on barley: Although some sections of the United States exhibit a s'igbtly lednced yield and indicate, moreover, that in a large area of territory the berry will not bo as bright or as heavy as last year, owing to the preva lence, at the most critical time, of heavy dews and excessive heat, there will be a sul flciency of sound malting barley wherewith to supply the brewing and distillling Indus trie of the land. Our Canadian advices In dicate another heavy reduction ot the acre age tinder barlev, and lurther report that nearly all of t lie," latter, a very large percent age of which is of the two-roed variety, Is more or less stained and will not be as heavy as last year's barley.
