BEADING SHOWS GREAT ACTIVITY
And the Coaler Generally Are Prominent
in the Trading.
SUGAR HIGHER ON THE DIVIDEND.
New York, Sept. 7. The stock market
to-day showed rather more animation in the
general list, but the comparative quietude
of the industrials prevented any more busi
ness being done. The temper of the trad
ing, however, showed a marked change for
the better. There was but little new busi
ness. The market, therefore, even 'while
more active in railroad shares Was no wider
titan usual of late and as a rnle the im
portant fluctuations were oonfined to a few
Mocks.
The coalers were naturally the most
prominent group in the trading, but only
Beading displayed any real activity. The
influence of the dividend on Sugar was seen
in an opening advance of i per cent, but
there was little demand at the advance and
the whole rise was immediately lost. The
buying of the coalers was Induced by the
circulation of rumors that theio had been a
settlement with the Pennsylvania, and later
that tlio Pennsylvania would advance coal
prices on the Hth of the month, but both
were afterward denied without causing any
material reaction. The pains In some of the
specialties like Minneapolis & St. Lous pre
ferred reached 3 per cent, but the Improve
ment in the general list was confined to
small fractions.
The close, while affected somewhat by
realizations to secure profits on the day's
rise, was still firm, though quiet generally,
at small fractional trains for the day. Lead,
however, was up 2; Western Union, $
Manhattan, ljf; Cotton oil, 1J, and Missouri
Pacific 1 per cent.
Railroad bonds were still very quiet, and
remained w itliout feature of interest at any
time of the day.
Government bonds were dull and steady.

J. S. Bache & Co. to Oakley & Co.: "The
great feature in to-day's market was very
active buying in stocks supposed to be for
account of Mr. Cammncfc. We calculate the
amount bousht lor this account to be 30,000
snares of different stocks, made up particu
larly of Eock Island, Atchison and Reading.
There were a number of stories afloat to ac
count for this buying and the boys said, as
they have done every time that any big
short line was covered, that Mr. Gould had
given Mr. Cammack a tip to get out of the
way. London was disposed to sell some
stocks, but the selling for this account
amounted to very little indeed.
"The report of the Board of Agriculture of
the State of Kansas, Issued to-day, showed
that last month the condition of corn In that
very important State decreased nine points
and that the outlook is for only a two-thirds
crop.
'"Nothing definite can be said about ex
poits of gold this week. If the German
bteamer sails on Saturday, quite some gold
will go out, but it is not expected that the.
shin will sail as advertised." ,
From Sproul & Co.s wire: "Money is
steady witn a tendency to become firmer,
and bankers are confident that gold will go
out to Europe on Saturday."

CniCAOO, Sept. ".Corn was the leader to
day, and as a result wheat. In tho lace of
news hlch coula not be considered as Tav
orinc higher prices, was very Una and made
aain for the dayoro perbnshcL Corn
had distinct encouragement from various
sources, and the speculative condition of the
inarliot was la excellent shape to respond to
bullish Influence, of which a net advance of
3 Jc li" Dushcl lHsafflolent ovldenoe. Pro
visonsnere weak, more particularly as re
gards October contracts.
In corn the fear of frost was the principal
BtrensthenlnR factor at the start, but the
advanco vra aIstud later on by tho Kansas
Stnte report, showing a decrease or nine
points sinco the last month and placing the
condition at C3 per cont. The reduction no
doubt wm caused by the hot, dry weather
which did soma damage last month. The
advanco brought out considerable long
property and developed more or less ex
citement. The temperature was cool
throughout tlio corn belt, ranging from 50
toW, and the indications were for lower
temperature in Dakota and Nebraska Thurs
day. Vessel room was In good demand andratcs
firm at 2Jo for wheat and 2o for corn to
Buffalo. "
Cash quotations were as fallows: Flour
barely steady and iirices were unchanged.

LOCAL AND GENERAL FINANCIAL NEWS
Wednesday, Sept 7.
The operations la local stocks to-day,
both on and off 'Change, reflected a material
improvement in the general tone of the
market. The demand as a.whble was not
very urgent, but it covered the usually
active shares pretty well and in a few of
the leaders was persistent and strong, re
sulting in fractional gains over yesterday's
closing quotations. Gas and street railway
shares were most prominent in all respects,
the leadership of the former being taken
by Philadelphia Company and of the latter
by Doquesne Traotion.
The demand for Philadelphia Com
pany bore a resemblances to
that which prevailed a fortnight ago, when
the street was full of talk that insiders
were buying, and while the stock failed to
advanco much, it appeared to bo hold down
by those who are known to be operating
with the cxpootati.. n that prices are going
to be materially higher. Fresh talk was
heard on the probable dividend for the cur
rent quarter, which will be declared next
Wednesday, the idea that It would bo at the
rate of either fi or 6 por cent per annnm be
ing recoivod with more respect than hereto
fore. People pretty olose to tho inside 1)0
lievo the dividend for tho quarter will bo
IJi or 1 tier cent, tho majority naming
the lower figure, but it would not surprise
tho conservative element If tho regular lper
cent was declared. There is little question
or the company's ability to Increase its divi
dend rate; whether the directors think: an
increase advlsablo remains to be seen.
Duquesno Traotion was in general de-.
mand, but it failed to advance above 29 bid.
The character of tho demand, however, was
high and justified predictions of higher
prices. The bulk of the buving of the past
week, it is said, was for tlfe account ot in
siders. At presen t prices the stook has been
shown to be high enough, bnt if the cliqne
want It to go up it will go without regard to
merit.
Pleasant Valley Hallway, Pittsburg & Bir
mingham Traotion, Union Swltoh and Signal,
La Norla Mining Company, llddzewater
Gas, Central Traotion and People's Pipeago
were all firmer and P., A. & 31. Traction was
a shade "weaker, bnt others were featureless.
The only fresh piece of gossip of the day
was to the effect that the Plttsburg-Du-qnesne
combine had succeeded In corrallne
the Citizens' Traction Company in their own
peculiar style. The statement was positive
in some quarters that tho deal for
the purchase of the Citizens' line
had been closod, bnt the statement
was emphatically denied by the officials of
tho companies concerned. Another state
ment was that 65 had been bid for control of
the Citizens' and 85 askod, with a prospect
of a deal somewhere between these ex
tremes, which was nlso denied. Tbero is
evidently something up, but whatever it is
it will probably have to leak out in the usual
slow and piecemeal manner. An official an
nouncement of the deal would surprise no
one, as a consolidation qf all the roads lead
ing to the East End lias for some time been
considered a certainty. It would be right In
line, also, with the idea always entertained
by close observers of street railway affairs
that the consolidation of all the linos of tlio
two cities was only a question of time.
Course of tho Market,
The first sales of the day on 'Change were
In La Noria Company, two 100-share lots
selling at 12c per share: subsequently the
stock advanced to 1415c, something abovp
recent quotations established by sales. The
presumption was that the piobabillty of the
lease Deing surrendered by the Motollna
Company strengthened the stock. As a bull
card the surrendering or the lease wonld be
open to suspicion, to sav the least,,
as its surrender would Justify the infer
ence that it was worthless. If the Motollna
leaders were satisfied the La Norla mines
were valuable the money to develop them,
or rather to redevelop them, would soon be
forthcoming. Philadelphia .Company open
ed at 1 sales, sold nn to 23, declined to
23 closed at 23l23 and was quoted at
23K aftor tUo cIosh. P. A. & M. traction
sold 43044, and 43J was bid for more.
Pleasant Valley sold at 25 and closed at
252 with 25 bid for a small lot.
Duquesue traction sold at 29 and considera
ble more could have been sold at the same
Srice. It closed offered In a small way at

closing at 1718; Chartlers Valley Gas sold
at 12X, closing at 12 asked, and People's
Pipeagesoldat 15i. closing at 1516.
Among the shares which did not figure la
the trading, Westinghouse Electric unas
sentea was quoted at IS bid and the second
E referred at 36 bid, despite the fact that the
estold in the East was 35; Bridgewater
Gas was higher at 30 bid; Wheeling Gas

GOOD TRADE REPORTS
And n Bright Outlook" Breadstuff and
Provisions Weak and Grooerles and
Dairy Products Firm Fresh Cereal and
Crop Gossip BevUed Quotations.
"Wednesday, Sept. 7.
As a rnle general mercantile and manu
facturing reports are encouraging, the vol
ume of business Is gradually swelling and
the outlook for all branches of business Is
satisfactory. The Exposition of 1892 is
open, and it Is expected that from now until
Its close the visits of interior merchants
will be more frequent and orders for fall
and winter supplies more numerous and
comprehensive.
As to the tone of the markets, grain and
flour continue weak, provisions heavy at the
recent declincs,grocerles and dairy products
firm and active and other staple articles
generally steady under a good demand. The
ecllne in wheat on the Chicago Board of
Trade for this month's delivery to a frac
tion below 73o, says a Chicago paper, carried
the prloe to a lower point than It had been
in more than four years. The cholera talk
was only one factor, for the general ten
dency of the market was bearish before
there was any scare regarding that plague.
The weakness extended to flour, and the
demand was extremely light at further re
ductions in prices. Spring wheat receipts
are much smaller than a year ago, but tbe
weekly increases in the visible supply of
wheat exert a powerful influence. Oats also
sold at lower prices, but the greatest reduc
tions were in prices for rye and corn. The
last-named cereal was weakened by thcoon-'
ttnued liberal receipts, good grading, poor
shipping demand- and good crop reports.
There were no frosts In the corn belt, and
farmers have been offering corn freely
throughout the West. For some time past
the price of corn was regarded by good au
thorities as too high, but it bas now touohed
a point where many regard it as a safe pur
chase '
The latest Prime bulletin says In sub
stance: "Usually at this time of year 25 to
60 per cent of corn Is safe. Now there is no
corn safe, and frost up to September 15 In
any State will catch all corn. Spring wheat
threshing has progressed far enough to say
