THE PITTSBURG DISPATOH, FKIDAY, SEPTEMBER 9,' ' 189a 11 ELECTRIC AND LEAD Show Special Strength, but the Other Industrials-Are Quiet. HEAVY TRADING IN BEADING And Kew f Belaud, With the Course of Trices Upward. THE LIST TIELDS TOWARD THE CM38E Kew YOBTC, Sept 9. The stock market to-day was rather unsettled in its temper, but there vrere evidences of more support to prices than the covering of shorts. The movements of importance were still con fined to a very few stocks, the narrowness of the market being still very prominent, and the changes in quotations among the general list no wider than usual of late. A great deal of literature was put out, having for its object the annulling of the excitement over the possible war between the Eeadmg and the Pennsylvania, and to some extent it was successful. "While Heading, on very large transactions, was held comparatively firm, the other coalers were again remarkably dull and without quotable change in prices. More was heard about the expected Increase in the dividend on Western Union, but it failed to further advance the stock or keep it prominent in the dealings after the end of the forenoon, and the other Gonld shares were again quiet, with the single exception of Texas Pacific, which scored somelmprove nient. The Industrials w ere less prominent in the dealings, but General Electric and Lead preferred were especially stroiig.whilo the feature or the railroad list was New England, which disputed with Reading the leadershiD in activity, and fairly led tho market in tho extent of its upward move ment. The trading was almost entirely profes sional and a drive was made at the list late in the day on the rumor that a large order for cold had been received from Germany. There was no apparent support Riven to prices and the whole list, including New tnland and the industrials, yielded to the presume and the forenoon' sains were wiped out with something in addition in most cases. The close a firm, howevor, on a rally, evidently the result of covering operations. Kailroad bonds were both stronger and more active to-day, but the trading showed lew leatuiesof inteiest. Government bonds wera dull and steady. Close 01 me list: U. S. 4srcg 114 V. S. 4s coup 1'5 U. S. 2sreg 100 Pacific 6s of "95 307 Mutual Union 6s.. .110 N. J. a Int.

J. S. Bache & Co. to Oakley & Co : "New England was selling mystery on again to day. It was said that the Reading was going to absorb the road on the stock advanced nearly 2 per cent. Though this story was alterwaid denied, the stock shows anad vnnco over last night. The St. Paul directors met at 2 o'clock and declared a 2 per cent half yearly dividend. They make a, good statement and show a little -over 5 per cent earned for tho year. The Government crop report is to come out on Saturday and Judging rroin the dlf feicnt reports of the States concerning corn the estimate will show a decrease in the percentage. Duriug the afternoon there were several Btorics afloat as regards largo gold ship ments, but thev could not be confirmed, though we think that considerable gold will go out before the week is over. The ex change market is very strong and if someof the vessels are released from quarantine e think that $1,009,000 will go out within the next seven days. This will, in turn, make money higher and ouiht to be felt all tbtough the stock market.

Weakness to-day followed an early bulge in the grain markets and -wheat sold Jc lower than last night. Corn climbed up neariv a cent and then slipped back to about the starring point. Oats show n decline of J lc. Provisions, after quite a show of strength, sacared near the close and quit with asainof 7K10c. Frost talk was tbe main som ce of tho strength and cholera or the weakness. Wheat started stronjr, and for a time its friends displayed a sood deal or confidence, and aided by the aharp upturn in corn succeeded In advancing prices a fraction. But there was good short selling and general realizlnz on the advance. Then came the report of a case 01 cholera in New Tork City and the Srice went off JJc from the top price early. nt this report was soon denied, and the Cincinnati -Prire CurrmI' estimate that the crop would uot exceed 500,000,000 bushels be- coming known, the balls rallied and pushed the price back to nearly top figures. But the announcement that the two steamers which had been expected from Enrope were in sight and both flying the cholera flag pro duced another season of depression, under which there was another drop of Ja In corn the opening trades were at KK advance and after ruling steady lor a moment sold off under free selling by room operators and longs in general KJc The offerings were well absorbed, being taken by prominent parties and on the indication of frost to-night in the Northwest, there was quite a scramble among shorts, the result being a full cent advance. There is an impression that the Government report Saturday will show some reduction from the August statement. Apart but lust how much it is hard to determine or Norton-Wortbington's line of September nats which has made the shorts very nervous for some time came on the market to-day creating a weak feeling and depressing prices. The provision trade was not disturbed by much outside business. There was goop sup port and higher prices for all products, but much less action In the market than usual.

DULL BUT BUOYANT. Light Trading in Local Securities at the Regular Calls. THE LEADERS SHOW STRENGTH. F. & B. Traction the Only One to Show Signs of Weakness. LOCAL AHD GENERAL FINANCIAL NEffS Thuksdat, Sept 8. The market for local securities was dull and lacking in features of prominence to day. The first call on 'Change was a water haul with respect to sales and the total day's business on the open boards aggre gated but 250 shares, 200 of which were La Koria Mining Company at 13e per share, or 26 for the 200. The other transactions were small and in the low-priced shares, the money involved in the total business being only 984 75. The commissions on this business, even figuring an eighth on La Norla, wonld not much more than pay the daily office expenses of the broker en gaged in it, to say nothing of lunch, cigars, street car fare and othor little necessaries. From this view the market was a measly one. There was plenty of Dusiness in the hands of the brokers, however, which could not be exe cuted at the limits set. More or less busi ness was also completed off 'Change, which, if reported, would doubtless have brought the day's record up to a full average, and there was special inquiry for some of the leading shares and a sneclal desire to sell others, all of whioh made the market quite as Interesting and Important as usual. Tbe Market's Coarse. , Philadelphia Company sold nt 23 and closed at 2323Jf..with a pretty good de mand at 23 after the close. People's" Pipe age sold at 15V and closed at 15V&16. P. & B. Traction sold at 26 and the close was weak at 25J26 nnder considerable pressure to sell. La Noria Mining Company sold at no and closed at izhc. Among the shares that did not figure in the trading. Pleasant Valley Rnilvi ay. Union Switch and Signal, Airbrake and Dnqueine Traction wero strong and higher, with the demand most urgent for Duqucsne Traction antiunion Switch and Signal. P., A. & M. Traction was barely steadv at 43JJ bid, Citizens was offered at 62, Pittsburg at 60, and 50 was bid for Second Avenue Electric. Underground Cable was offered at 79 and U. S. Glass,-common and preferred, ut 67 and 125 respectively. Westlnghoni Electric second preferred was higher at 3637, the close here being at 37 asked, and iu New York and Boston at Sophia. Gossip of tbe Street. A gentleman well-Informed on street rati way matters talked as follows to-day about the rumor concerning Pittsburg, Duquesne and Citizens: "I have . talked with various people who ought to.know all about the re ported deal, or the probability of one, and they all say they know nothing whatever about it. For myself I believe there is some thing in the rumor. I am a stockholder, but I think a consolidation with the combine would De advantageous. If there is a pur chase outright, I am satisfied those who con trol Citizens will get a price satisfactory to all holders. The Central is held by tho Holmes crowd, and whatever they do will be for the best interests of all. There will be nothing like treeze-out; minority holders will rare the same as the majority holders." The weakness of P. & B. Traction was pro nounced at the close and lower prices seemed probable. The floor representative of Whitney & Stephonson offered a round lot persistently and volunteered the In formation that tbe stock was going lower. After the close a broker intimated that the market was being manipulated in the In terest ot a clique who desire to get hold of some chearj stock. Fresh tips to buy oil were circulated to day. A brolier who generally hits the market about right stated that Philadelphia Com pany.

It Is stated upon good authority semi official in its character, that the cash and assets of tho American Lead Company are about $S,500,000. Tho Cotton Oil people state that the com rany now has in nssets readily convertible into cash over $5,000,000. A man who tries to sell the stock of an in dustrial company which is not listed, says the Wall Street News, has indeed a "perma ment investment," as it will be a life-long lob for him to dispose of it without a serious loss. His only market is among the insiders who never buy except at their own price. , and the seller has cither to take It or leave it. uis stock is or no earthly use to lilm as collateral, as banks refuse to accept it In loans, as It lias no mar ket quotation. We personally know of a case In point where the director of a prominent industrial, who Is tbe president or a Wall street bank, refused to accept the stock of the company, of which he was a director, as collateral for a loan from one of his regular customers. His reason for doing so when asked was beoause the stock bad no market value. It is reported that the earnings ot the Western Union Company for the current quarter will be $1,800000, or about 2J4 per cent gross on the stock. It is intlmatedithat no dividend will be de clared on American Cotton Oil common at the annual meeting nexf. month.

The qutput last week was 186,150 ban els, averaging 31,025 barrels daily, against 190,000 barrels the previous week, 130,665 ban els tor the corresponding week in 1891 and 160,925 barrels In 1830. The flour market is without much life. Foreigners are comparatively ftee bidders lor October and November shipment, for both patent and bakers', but they usually want flour on the basis of pres ent prices, and millers as a rule are unwill ing to sell In that way. It is urged that tho Jiresent time is one when the miller ouzht to e reaping his best profits, and still lie is not doing mtloh better than getting costbackfor bis product. General Markets.

SEPTEMBER-SHOWING WELL In All Lines of Merchandise Domnnd Steadily Increasing, Kapeclally for Coun try Produce Fruit in Big Supply Drift of the Slarkets. Thursday, Sept. 8. So far in September trade has been re ported decidedly better than during the corresponding period last month, and the demand is steadily enlarging. Produce commission merchants made better reports to-day than for many weeks past, though any change in their business could not well help being for the better, as the dullness in their lino was quite pronounced dnrlnghe past summer. One of tbe most encouraging features of the general sltnation at present Is an improvement in collections. Pears, peaches, plums and giapes are com ing forward freely, but prices aie holding up well under a good demand. The season for watermelons and canta loupes Is about ended. The demand Is trifling and prices ate weak and lower. Grain and feed show a slight improving tendency, but hay tontiuues weak. ' Under date of September 7a Chicago house offers local wholesalers f. o. b. Chicago standard yellow apples, new pack, at $2 63; stand 3 lb do, 97fc: prime Virginia peanuts o per lb; fancy bleached peacnes 16c; lurklsh prunes, 1E92 crop, bags, October shipmont from Europe, 6c. New barley is moving irom first hands a little more lieely, says a Chicago paper, yet owing to the latPcess of the season spot offerings to date are not at all burdensome. A number of Eastern buyers were here lately, Including some New York maltsters, "feeling the maiket" with a view to pur chasing when receipts show more increase. Speculative trade Is stagnant, with Septem ber nominally 636lc. Health officors East and West will inspect dally fruits to be sold at auction to see that nothing overripe or tainted will reach tho consumer. Never before was the production of the woolen mills so large. Many are working overtime on orders, and with an nntrmt larger than ever be'ora tho factories are closer on ordors. The demand is really ahead of the largest production that we have ever bad at this season. Brazil coffee In stock and afloat: Total stock In New Tork , 214.283 Total stock In Baltimore 29.

New Castle, Sept. 8. 5rwai Farmer John Mitchell lives Dear Harbor Bridge. Early in August a man wanted, him to buy a patent corn shock binder and other machinery. Mr. Mitchell preferred the old style. The fellow left and the inci dent had escaped Mr. Mitchell's memory until this morning, when a finely dressed stranger came to his farm and produced a blank order, which was supposed to have been an agreement on tbe part of Mr. Mitchell to take one gross of binders lor $286, with the privilege of selling them at the usual price. To this agreement was at tached the name of Mr. MitchelL TheTsig nature that gentleman denied, when tlia stranger became angry and, handing' Mr. Mitchell the note or order, said: "Well, if that is not your signature, per haps you had better tear it ofE" Mr." Mitchell took the note, tore off his name and handed it back to the man, who immediately said in a threatening manner: "How I have got you where I want you, and I'll have you arrested for robbery. I am a lawyer from Chicago." The man placed his hand in his pistol pocket, and demanded full settlement of the note. Mr. Mitchell thought the fellow intended to draw a revolver, and he imme diately caught up a pitchfork, and told the man it he did not take his hand ont of his pocket he would run him through. The stranger did as was ordered, and with the pitchfork at his breast he was compelled to back clear out ot tbe field, get into his buggy and drive away. Freight Crowded Ont. . The Pennsylvania and Baltimore and Ohio roads have decided not to receive any freight at Washington during the G. A. B. encampment The order will apply Irom September 14 to tbe 26th.
