TVeitern Union, the Coalers and Grangers Lead the Weakness AXD ALL THB INDUSTRIALS FOLLOW Xew Tokk. Sept 12. The stock market to-dar was affected somewhat by the threat ened defection among the Beading em ployes, as well as by the growing; scarcity of money, and the trading was thronghont almost entirely professional. The Govern ment crop report was rather negative in its effects, there being little in it to make a change in the views of anyone on the im mediate tendency of prices. The actual en gagement of over (500,000 gold for export by to-morrow's steamers was also an ele ment in making the drooping tone during the forenoon, but it is felt that at any time good news in regard to the cholera, gold exports or the threatened labor troubles would Induce a sharp rally all over the list. The Industrials still occupied a prominent position in the market but except in Distil lers their fluctuations were unimportant and under the circumstances Reading he came the one actire stock: on the list. The weakest point In the market was Western Union which Is suffering the reaction natural after a marked rise. The late decline took in everything of prominence In the market, af fecting more especially the Industrials of which only Sugar showed any strength the coalers and the grangers. The general mar ket was still dnll and while pnrtak lng or the temper ol the leaders showed no marked chances. The final losses wore considerable in tho active shares and were remarkably uniform, ranging from 1 to lji per cent, the Indus- trials leading. Railroad bonds were dull and featureless. Government bonds were dull and steady. Close of the list. U. s. 4sreg 114 U. S. 4 coup l5 U. S.4jrejr 100 radficteof '95 J07 Lonls'na stamped 4s. 91 Tpnn. npnrKftfiii lnnu Mutual Union 6s.. .110 .N.

J. S. Bacbe 4 Co. to Oakley & Co.: "The market was weak all day and the last prices made were very near the lowest. An at tempt was made several times to rally the list, but fresh long stocks were met on all rallies. 'There wore several meetings of the differ ent railroad unions In Philadelphia to-day, bnt as Mr. McLeod was out ot town the leaders could not lay their rase before him. The present fight is one that means life or death with these organizations, and unless the Reading Company backs down from their present position a strike is Inevitable. The men are well banded together and if the order is given all will go out. "About $600,000 gold was engaged for ship ment and it is more than probable that more gold will have to go out this week. The money market Is firm and 6 per cent was xreeiy paia to-aay."

Chicago, Sept. 12. Everything on 'Change took a dive to-day. The most prominent causes for the general downward movement were an addition or nearly 2,500,000 bushels to the visible supply of wheat, the renewed failure of frost damage predictions as to corn and the heavy receipts of hogs. Compared with Saturday wheat Is o lower, corn 4c and provisions 57jc Wheat started a trifle higher on the better English cables and the generally accepted bullish nature of the Government report, but on heavy selling the market began to weaken. A report that another pest ship had arrived at New York and the weak feel ing which ruled in corn added. to the depres sion and there was a gradual decline. Corn opened about where it closed Satur day, bat the absence of frost, the weakness in wheat, and the fact that the Government cpuii. nm more lavoraDie tnan was ex- gected, started free selling, which resulted 1 a loss of Kc in the price, with only a slight recovery. The Government retort in 'SiPP of 1"00.060,000 bushels, wMlch Is 100,000,000 bushels more than the Price Cur rent estimate last week, and hence the trade is inclined to look at it as bearish. There was some reaction on probable frosts to-night through Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa, bnt this was offset largely on liberal estimates for to-morrow of 903 cars. 1 Oats opened a little higher and suffered a sharp and sudden decline through free sell ing by the larger commission houses. The receipts of hogs created weakness. The estimates of only 18,000 hogs for to-morrow established confidence for a time, hut weakness predominated again. The heavy holding of ribs by W right, with the declining market, has started much speculation as to the outcome of the so-called deal in this product.

PHILLIE AND ELECTRIC DOWN And Union Switch, and Signal loses Some of Its Gain. AIRBEAKE AND' DUQUESNE BUOYANT Mondat, Sept 12. "Weakness prevailed in the East to-day because of the low bant reserves, compar atively close money, the presumption that a strike on the Bending system was immi nent and the shadow of the cholera. The feeling prevalent in "Wall street extended to other points to a certain extent and it found something of a reflection here, par ticularly in the shares of the local list which have a market in New York and Boston. The report of a case of cholera in Jeannette came too late to have any effect on 'Change, and it is well it did, for it was subsequently' said by a Jeannette physician who made a thorough examination to have been with out foundation. Good authorities do not be lieve cholera will secure a foothold In this coun try this year, nnd tney do not believe the scare, or the other factors now promi nent, will seriously Interfere with general trade. "The volumeof business in progress," says one, "is large and its charaoter sound and singularly free lrom speculative risks. Currency conditions are well adapted to the requirements of the season,and there is little or.no fear of disturbance on this account. Tho crop situation, although Indicating a great falling off from lastyeur's tremondous yield, is by no means unfavorable, and there Is abundant evidence of the prosperity of the agricultural interests throughoutagrcat portion of the country. The manufactur ing situation, showing incieascd activity in woolens, cottons and silks, and the large consumption of iron and of staple products generally, reflect a much more substantial prosperity tlian has often shown itself in more active times on the Exchanges ana In a wider range of speculative ventures. A calm survey of the situation affords ample evidence that its unfavorable features. In cluding the cholera scare, the fear of con tinued gold exports, the unfortunate condi tions prevailing thronghont so great a part of Europe, and the disturbing influences of ine i-resiuentai campaign, are onset dv con ditions that Justify the expectation of a sea son of lair business aptivity and prosperity." Coarse of the Locnl Market. Philadelphia Company, Puquesne Trac tion, Exchange National Bank, Westing house Airbrake, Pleasant Valley Railway, Union Switch and Signal, Westlnghouse Electric second preferred, P. & B. Traction and Manufacturers' Gas woro the active shares on 'Change to-day. The entire list opened strong, but Philadelphia Company nnd Westlnghouse Electric weakened later, in sympathy wltn the course of the Eastern markets, and some or the other shares fol lowed the leaders. Duquesne Traction and Airbrake were notably strong throughout, and neaily all tne others were steady. The character of the demand for Duquesne was high, and tho inquiry for P. & B. Traction, Pleasant Valley and Airbrake was strong. Philadelphia Company ooened at 233 sales, sold down to 23 and closed 2223; Duquesne Traction sold at 20 and closed at 29 bid, the latter price being bid by Rea Bros & Co. after the close lor 500 shares; Ex change National Bank sold at 85, closing at 85 bid; Westlnghouse Airbrake :old at 1390 1SSK, closing at 138140; Onion Switch and Signal sold at 16 closing at 1S01SJ& Elec tric second preferred opened at S7& sales, sold up to 37Js and closed at 3737X- In Boston early sales were at SSJs. but there was a subsequent decllno to abont the closing figures here.

P. 4 B. traction, which closed at 2526 sold at 6 after tho close, and Mannlaciuiers Gas, which closed at 28 asked, sold at 28 to the extent of 100 shaies Just after the last call and more could hare been sold at the same price. The shares whioh did not figure In the trading were steady, though Central Trac tion did not appear to be more than barely so. It was certainly less strong than at the close of last week. One of the features of the last call was a bid of 65 for Westlnghouse Brake Company, limited. After the close 29 was bid for Duquesne traction and 133 for 100 shares of Airbrake; Philadelphia Company was offered at 23, P. & B. traction at 26 and Natatoxium at 100. Gossip of the Street. It was learned to-day that the employes of the West Shore road superintended some tests last Friday of the Westlnghouse Air brako and the brake manufactured by the New York Brake Company and that the latter came out second best. This is con sidered very significant and important, as the test of both brakes was made entirely by those friendly to the New Tork com pany. With tho exception of Mr. IL IL Westlnghouse none of the people identified with the home company were presont at the tests, and he took no part in them whatever. It is said that Governor Flower, of New York, who is latgely interested in the New York Brake Company, was the Investigator of the tests. In all probability, if the Westlnghouse ex perts had been permitted to handle the Westlnghouse brake on the occasion of the test, the victory would have been even more signal than it was. The suit of the home company against the New York company for infringement comes up next month, and some think the test last Friday was for the purpose of enabling the opposition to de cide as to the amount of vigor to put into the fight. A Philadelphia Company stockholder re maiked this afternoon that he had heard the executive boaid would on Tuesday recommend an increase in the company's dividend rate from 4 to 5 per cent per annum. The Telegraph, says there Is a general thou ill vague idea that the inquiry for Pitts burg & Castle Shannon Railroad stock, that has been noted for some time past, means that the road Is totfigure in some way in the rumored consolidation of various street rail way lines.

An authority on elec trical affairs in discussing the effects of the decision says that If favorable to the Edison Company, It will deprive Westlnghouse of one of its chief sources of revenue, and will be used by the first mentioned company to 1891. t 1.959,444 6,002.406 $ 7,SI.!I30 SC3.478.630 compel the latter to enter into a consolida tion."

CREAMERY BDTTER UNCHANGED The Elgin Batter Board Does Business at Last Week's Prices R.flnors Again Ad vanoo Granu'ated Sugar Quotations Bere Will Be Higher Markets Qniet. Monday, Sept. 12. The Elgin butter board made no change in quotations at its meeting to-day," and in con sequence there will be no change here this week. Advices quoted the market steady. Dealers were not looking for an advance, as exports ceased a week ago owing to quaran tine restrictions, and supplies commenced to accumulate, preventing the establishment of a higher range. On the other hand, cheese has continued to drift upward not withstanding the cessation of exports. Now York operators have been free buyers, how ever, which fact has served to stimulate ralnes. They are holding confidently and expect to realize handsome profits when the export business is lesumed. Granulated sugar was marked up l-16c late to-day oy the refiners, putting cost up to 6.81c, and local quotations will probably be advanced to morrow (Tuesday). This ad vance is contrary to expectations, as it was reported late last week that the American Sugar Beflnlng Company did not intend to have any further advance in the price of re fined sugar. This report was accompanied by the followingi "The company is making a good profit and does not wish to antagonize tho public by an exhibition of greediness.' It is safe to say that the American Company was never doing better man abpresent. It owns double its ordinary stock or raw sugar. It had its usual supplies at foreign ports when tho cholera scare broke out, but foreseeing delay In shipments it purchased a large stock of cane sugar In this country and Cuba so that it Is in an usually good posi tion." As a rule the mercantile markets were qniet and price changes without signifi cance. Grain, Flonr nnd Feed.
